Hallo,
i have a problem on my pc that i'd like to put to your attention.
On my pc i have WinXp SP2, AVG antivirus and the other tools suggested for protection.
Yesterday SpywareGuard software prompted me with:

"NEW BHO DETETCTION ALERT - on 09/22/06 a new BHO installation attempt was detected.
BHO: 0C8157F3-EA92-40FF-92C0-9B46012C307B
ProgramID: n/a
File location: C:\WINDOWS|system32\EPP257.dll
"

i ran the usual scans and checks that i've learned here (thanks to your great job!):
after disabling system restore i ran a few iterations of the following (in safe mode):

CCleaner cleanup
Ad-Aware SE scan (found a couple of critical items)
CWShredder (found nothing)
Spybot S&D (found nothing)
Ewido (found one tracking cookie)
Trend Housecall online scan (found adware-bhot-imyonbar and HTTP cookie)
Panda online scan (found nothing)
AVG scan (found nothing)

(all softwares previously updated)

i ran Hijackthis then and here is the log:

i tried to fix the 2 items regarding EPP257.dll but it doesnt work, at following run it shows up again.
Could you be so kind to help me with this?

Also, when running AVG scan, it didnt find any infections but it tells me:

Boot sector of Disk C - reading error
Partition Table (MBR) - reading error

i hope i didnt forget anything...
Thanks a lot for your attention,

Hopefully the below indicates you have a HP computer?

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zzzHPSETUP] H:\Setup.exe

Also looks like you need to Uninstall and Reinstall SpywareGuard if you intend to keep it?


Lets look at some other items before fixing anything with HijackThis.


Download combofix.exe
http://download.blee...Bs/combofix.exe

Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

When finished, it should produce a log for you.

Post that log in your next reply

Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall



Please run the F-Secure Online Scanner

Note: This Scanner is for Internet Explorer Only!

• Follow the Instruction on the F-Secure page for proper installation.
• Accept the License Agreement.
• Once the ActiveX installs,Click Full System Scan
• Once the download completes,the scan will begin automatically.
• The scan will take some time to finish,so please be patient.
• When the scan completes, click the Automatic cleaning (recommended) button.
• Click the Show Report button and Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

yes i do actually, and i did think of that, but this item never showed up before in my previous HJT logs and also I found it mentioned as 'unknown' on some websites, so thats why i wasnt sure...
BUT its also true that i did a live chat with some HP tech some time ago, so maybe that entry is due to the HP chat install? will check with them...

Also looks like you need to Uninstall and Reinstall SpywareGuard if you intend to keep it?

ok thanks, i just did this

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {53707962-6F74-2D53-2644-206D7942484F} - (no file)

i tried to fix them in HJT, but at reboot Spywareguard prompts me with

"NEW BHO DETETCTION ALERT - on 09/25/06 a new BHO installation attempt was detected.
BHO: {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3}
ProgramID: n/a
File location: n/a
"
(and same for the other one).
Spywareguard asks me to remove or keep them and i removed them but at next reboot its the same again.

Also couldn't find any info on the
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zzzHPSETUP] H:\Setup.exe, except that is listed as unknown on all websites regarding the log analysis.
btw the H: unity is the dvd drive on my pc.

bye for now and thanks a whole lot again!

OK,this may mean something else is lurking that we cant see.

Use the link below to temporarily disable both Spyware Guard and Ewido Guard
http://wiki.castleco...toring_Programs


Restart in Safe Mode and Open HijackThis-> Click "Do a System Scan Only" and put a check by these but DO NOT hit the Fix Checked button yet

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =

Now Make sure ALL WINDOWS and BROWSERS are CLOSED and hit the Fix Checked Button



Restart Normal and post a fresh HijackThis log please.

[lisabel]

ok, here is the Hijackthis log (normal mode), after cleaning those items in safe mode.
it looks ok to me now and i dont see BHO install detections anymore.
I'll wait for your OK though :-)

shall i keep ewido running?

ciao for now

As a matter of fact,you can leave ewido guard off unless you feel more cozy with it on.

Speaking of ewido,update it with the latest definitions and go to safe mode.

Scan the entire system and clean whatever it finds.

Be sure to save a report and post that in the next reply.


How bout this service,any idea where it came from?

I believe I have heard tale of some applications that may use this for legit purposes.
