colleen2426,

Hello! and welcome to G2G forums.

===============

When we're done cleaning off your system, I'd recommend that you install all the Critical Windows Updates available from Microsoft, upto Service Pack 1. This will help to make your system more secure and prevent many 'problems' from reoccuring in the future.

===============

We'll need to download these program(s) to help us deal with the "About:Blank" infection:

-

Download, unzip to your desktop CWShredder and run it, then:

1. Click "Check For Update"

(If an update isn't available, skip to step #4.)

2. Click "Click here to Download the update".
3. When the new version has been downloaded, click "Save".
4. Exit the program.


-

Download, unzip to your desktop About:Buster and run it, then:

1. Click "Update".
2. Click "Check For Update"

(If no new version is available, skip to step #4.)

3. Click "Download Update", and wait for it to be installed.
4. Exit the program.


===============

Please put HiJackThis in it's own permanent folder....for storing important backups!!!

Click My Computer, then C:\
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which while highlighted you can rename to "HJT". Now you have C:\HJT\ folder.
Please put your HijackThis.exe there before you begin.

===============

Reboot your computer into "Safe Mode"

===============

Next, locate CWShredder that you downloaded earlier and run it, then:

1. Click "Fix ->"

===============

Next, locate About:Buster that you downloaded earlier and run it, then:

1. Click "Start".

(Wait for the initial ADS scan to complete.)

2. Click "Yes", to shutdown any IE session currently open.

(Wait for the about:blank scan to complete.)

3. Click "Ok", to scan once more.
4. Click "Yes", to shutdown any IE sessions currently open.
5. Click "Yes", to begin the second pass.

6. Click "Save log", and post this log back along with your new hijackthis log(when done with fix below).
7. Click "Exit".
8. Click "Exit".

===============

Reboot your computer normally.

===============


Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

Media Access
Viewpoint Manager

===============

Go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit OK
Scroll down and find the service called.

11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I

Make sure it is selected in color. Right click on the service and click on stop. Right click on it again and go to Properties. In the Properties screen and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled in the dropdown box. Click on Apply. Then OK. If the service isn't listed go ahead with the rest of these instructions anyway.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

folders...

C:\Program Files\Viewpoint

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntjv.exe
C:\WINDOWS\nthm32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\phrzk.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysnk32.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them from "Safe Mode".

===============

Reboot your computer.

===============

Go to www.trendmicro.com, and then:

1. Click "Free Online Scan".
2. Click "Scan now, it's free".

It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's done:

1. Select all available drives.
2. Check(tick) "Auto Clean".
3. Click "Scan".

When it completes, copy the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted and post them when your done with the following fix.

===============

Reboot your computer.

Post back a new Hijackthis log and About:Buster log, report any problems and let me know how everything goes.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE do not restart your computer unless asked, restarting can reinfect your computer resulting in us starting the cleaning up process all over!
