Well, I managed to get a Hijack log. Basically, mozilla has been crashing a bit lately and I've never had problems like that. I started having some troubles with one of my games crashing today, so I decided to do a system scan.

Adaware, spybot S&D , and CleanUp! all crash. Also, Trend House Call's online check keeps crashing. Please help.

Hey BrandonKeith

Antivirus:

Please download one of these free antiviruses and install it, either AVG or Avast

Update Java:

Your version of Java is now outdated. Java vulnerabilites are commonly exploited by viruses so I strongly recommend you update. Click here to download the latest version of java ( Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9 ). Please install it and then reboot your computer.

Remove the older versions of Java:

• Click Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.
• Delete all Java updates except J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9

Wareout:

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Once the desktop loads a text file will open (report.txt), you can close it - the file has already been saved. Please post the contents of this text file (C:\fixwareout\report.txt) in your next reply.

Viewpoint:

Viewpoint components are installed as a side effect of installing other software, most notably AOL and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Viewpoint Manager is responsible for managing and updating Viewpoint Media Player’s components. You can disable this using the Viewpoint Manager Control Panel found in the Windows Control Panel menu. By selecting "Disable auto-updating for the Viewpoint Manager" -- the player will no longer attempt to check for updates. Anything that is installed without your consent is suspect. Read what Viewpoint says and make your own decision.

To provide a satisfying consumer experience and to operate effectively, the Viewpoint Media Player periodically sends information to servers at Viewpoint. Each installation of the Viewpoint Media Player is identifiable to Viewpoint via a Customer Unique Identifier (CUID), an alphanumeric identifier embedded in the Viewpoint Media Player. The Viewpoint Media Player randomly generates the CUID during installation and uses it to indicate a unique installation of the product. A CUID is never connected to a user's name, email address, or other personal contact information. CUIDs are used for the sole purpose of filtering redundant information. Each of these information exchanges occurs anonymously.

I recommend that you remove the Viewpoint products; however, decide for yourself.

Fix the HJT entries:

• Open hijackthis and select the DO A SYSTEM SCAN ONLY option.
• Place a check next to the following items:
  
  O1 - Hosts: 66.98.136.25 auto.search.msn.com

Hey BrandonKeith

Upload Samples:

You have a file/s of interest to us. It would help the detection rates of the tools we use by getting hold of samples of these infections.

Please download this Malware Submission Tool. Save this file where it is quick to access i.e. C:\Submitter.exe.

Instructions for setting it up:

1. Go to this folder: C:\Documents and Settings\{Your username}\SendTo
2. Right-click inside the folder and click New > Shortcut
3. Enter the location of where you saved the file (e.g. C:\Submitter.exe)
4. Type a name for the shortcut e.g. Submit Malware
5. Then once you have created the shortcut you need to right-click it and select Properties
6. In the target box you need to replace that with this: {File Location} -all
7. So in my case I would type: C:\submitter.exe -all
8. Then click OK.

To enable the Show Hidden Folders option:

• From your Desktop, right-Click: My Computer. Left-Click: Explore.
• Select from the Tools menu:Folder Options.
• Select the View Tab.
• Under the Advanced Settings>Hidden files and folders, select: Show hidden files and folders.
• Uncheck: Hide extensions for known file types
• Also, uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
• Click: Yes to confirm warning[s].
• Click: OK.

Locate File:

1. Click Start > Run and type:C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
2. Then locate this file in the folder: CSDKL.EXE and DMJKX.EXE
3. Right-click on the file and select Send To and select Submit Malware {or whatever you named your shortcut}
4. This will then load a series of websites. Please give them a few minutes to load.
5. Please copy/paste this filepath for the Kaspersky website and the Fortinet website: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CSDKL.EXE and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DMJKX.EXE
6. Post the results of the Jotti, VirusTotal, Kaspersky and Fortinet scan back into this thread in your next reply.

To reset the hidden/system files and folders:

• From your Desktop, right-Click: My Computer. Left-Click: Explore.
• Select from the Tools menu:Folder Options.
• Select the View Tab.
• Under the Advanced Settings>Hidden files and folders, de-select: Show hidden files and folders.
• Check: Hide extensions for known file types
• Also, check the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
• Click: OK.

How is your computer running now? Are you still having trouble with programs crashing?

[BrandonKeith]

The link you have up for the malware submission tool is broken.. as for how my system is running, firefox hasn't crashed yet, but my auto updates from microsoft aren't downloading, and an application I was trying to download last night stopped halfway through and I couldn't get it to start back up.

I'm going to reboot and see if that helps since I left my comp on last night. Also, in firefox, whenever I go to a post here on the forum, it comes up like a text file, but if I use IE, then it comes up normal. Can't quite figure that one out.

[jamielaw]

Hey BrandonKeith

Submit Malware:

Please go here and upload each file: VirusTotal

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CSDKL.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DMJKX.EXE

Please copy/paste the results back into this thread

Upload Malware:

You have a file/s of interest to us. It would help the detection rates of the tools we use by getting hold of samples of these infections.

Please could you upload both files here: BC Submission. In the link to topic field put: jamielaw

[BrandonKeith]

Hey, well, my, firefox problem has gone away. I've uploaded the files you wanted. I've only got one response so far. I'll post the results from the other file scan when it arrives.

Hey BrandonKeith

This is my normal post for when you are clear - which you now are - or seem to be. Please advise of any problems you still have :-

Please pay particular attention to Step A & G!

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

• Disable and Enable System Restore. - You should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point. Sometimes viruses can hide in there and if you ever needed to restore your system you would then re-infect your self
  You can find instructions on how to enable and re enable system restore here:Windows XP System Restore Guide
  
  Or simply follow these instructions:
  • Click Start, run and type SYSDM.CPL
  • Select the System Restore Tab
  • Check the box to Turn off System Restore on all drives
  • Click Apply and then OK to the confirmation window
  • Then uncheck the box, click apply and then OK.
• Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
  • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  • Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
  • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
  • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
  • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
  • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
  • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
• Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  
• Use an Anti Virus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. See this link for a listing of some on line & their stand-alone anti virus programs:
  Computer Safety On line - Anti-Virus
  
• Update your Anti Virus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For an article on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
  Computer Safety On line - Software Firewalls
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  
• Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option.
  This will provide real-time spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware
  
• Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. You should also scan your computer with the program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software in conjunction with Spybot. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware
  
• Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. A article on anti-malware products with links for this program and others can be found here:
  Computer Safety on line - Anti-Malware
  
• Install HostsMan - HostsMan will add a large list of restricted websites to your hosts file. This will prevent you from visiting some bad websites.
  Download Hostsman here!
  
• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Stand up and be Counted.

NOW is the time you can start to hit back at the people who infected you.

Please take the time to go and complain - that forum has a topic for your infection which is ................ please post as a reply, you do not need to register to do so (but you can if you wish). It will also have a list of other places you can go to to register your complaint, depending on the country you are resident in. Please read the topics and complain, it is only with such complaints to goverment or government agances that something will get done.

Happy Surfing!

Jamie
