Hi Twistie,

The "f" word (format) is still a long way off in the distance at this stage.

Let's just try another method.

Please download the following and save to your Desktop:
ComboFix

Run ComboFix:
  • Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall

Cheers,

sage5

Hi Twistie,

Nearly done,

Run OTMoveIt2:
  • Please double-click OTMoveIt2.exe to run it.
  • Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\xoxchvsn.dat
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\aruwkcyi.dat
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\yfaopypm.dat
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\muxhxwrb.dat
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\thjhaxya.dat
  • Return to OTMoveIt, right click on the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be moved" window (under the light blue bar) and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Open Notepad
  • Copy everything on the Results window to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy).
  • Paste the text into the Notepad file, click in the window and press Ctrl + V.
  • Click "Exit" to close OTMoveIt.
  • Save the text file as C:\otmove.txt
(If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.)


Run another Online Scan:
Disable your antivirus program while running this scan.
  • Open Internet Explorer, type http://www.eset.eu/online-scanner in the Address Bar & hit Enter to go to ESET Online Scanner
  • Tick the box YES, I accept the Terms Of Use
  • Click the Start button
  • Now click the Install button
  • Click Start
    The scanner engine will initialise and update
  • Do Not tick the box Remove found threats
  • Click the Scan button
    The scan will now run, please be patient
  • When the scan finishes click the Details tab
  • Copy and paste the contents of the C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt back here.

Try to run Deckard's System Scanner:
  • Close all other windows before proceeding.
  • Double click on the dss.exe file on your Desktop and follow the prompts.
  • Scans will run, and 2 text files will open in Notepad.
  • Close both of the text files.
These files are C:\Deckard\System Scanner\main.txt & extra.txt. I will need you to copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply.
Also include the text from the C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt


The text from these files may exceed the maximum post length for this forum, and may need to be sent over 2 or more posts. Please ensure all text is posted.


Cheers,

Hi Twistie,

Last files to delete:

Re run OTMoveIt2:
  • Please double-click OTMoveIt2.exe to run it.
  • Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

    C:\14.tmp
    C:\15.tmp
    C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\CONFLICT.1\UGA6P_0001_N122M2210NetInstaller.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\AppCert\wsil32.dll
  • Return to OTMoveIt, right click on the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be moved" window (under the light blue bar) and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Open Notepad
  • Copy everything on the Results window to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy).
  • Paste the text into the Notepad file, click in the window and press Ctrl + V.
  • Click "Exit" to close OTMoveIt.
  • Save the text file as C:\otmove.txt
(If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.)


Your log shows you are not running Anti-virus or Firewall software.
These are essential items and need to be loaded before we can continue fixing your PC.

I have listed a couple of free versions of both. Please download and install 1 Anti-virus and 1 Firewall.

Firewalls: Please install one only.
Comodo Firewall Pro or Sunbelt Personal Firewall

Anti-virus: Please install one only:
Avast! Free Edition or AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic

Anti-Virus Tutorials/Manuals:
Avast Tutorial
Avast Manual
Antivir Manual

Please allow the new Anti-virus to run a full System scan, and at the end of the process you should be able to save a scan log.
If the scan report window does not have a Save as Repot Button (or similar), you may be able to highlight the text in the window & copy & paste it to a new Notepad file.
Save it as C:\avscan.txt if you can.

I need you to post me a fresh HijackThis log to confirm correct installation of the Anti-virus and Firewall programs.

Run HijackThis:
  • Select the Run a system scan and save a logfile option. The logfile opens in Notepad.
  • Start your Web Browser and navigate back to this thread.
  • Click the Add Reply button
  • Copy and Paste the text into the Reply window.
  • Also paste me the text from C:\avscan.txt

Cheers,

I did install Comodo Firewall and Antivir last time you asked however, Comodo would not let me access the internet so I uninstalled it. I have the Windows Firewall active. Is this not enough? As for Antivir, it keep having those little spasms and beeping at me about my infection but could not delete it and it was so irritating that I uninstalled that too. I bought McAfee antivirus program some time ago, do you think this will be OK?

Thanks :)

Hi Twistie,

Right, so that should be the last of the infection cleared.
Now on to your Questions:

I did install Comodo Firewall and Antivir last time you asked however, Comodo would not let me access the internet so I uninstalled it. I have the Windows Firewall active. Is this not enough?



In my opinion No.
The native Windows Firewall is notoriously poor at stopping/analysing outbound traffic, especially the types generated by
a) Trojans trying to download other malware.
b) Keyloggers calling "home" with potentially dangerous information from your PC (credit card/bank account details)
c) Malware reporting surfing habits.
It does a passable job at blocking inbound hacking, but not as good at "stealthing" (hiding) ports as many others, like Comodo, Sygate etc.

As for Antivir, it keep having those little spasms and beeping at me about my infection but could not delete it and it was so irritating that I uninstalled that too. I bought McAfee antivirus program some time ago, do you think this will be OK?


I use AntiVir myself & would far rather have an AV warn me of an infection than do nothing about it.
It also outscores McAffee in most areas at Here & Here
Ultimately the choice is yours, but I would like to see 1 antivirus & 1 firewall installed in the next HijackThis log you send me.

Cheers,

Hi Twistie

Congratulations, your new log looks clear, so we can now deal with some final clean up jobs.


Windows Defender is Microsoft's Anti-spyware application
I am not a huge fan, but others like it. Given that your copy does not seem to be operational, I would get rid fo it via the Add/Remove Programs window.

In an earlier log you asked about Windows Installer 3.1.
This is an update to the standard Windows Installer that is used by a lot of progams.
Do not remove this one.

Now, on with the last housekeeping jobs & you can be on your way.

Clean out cookies, temp files etc:
Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
  • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  • Under Main choose: Select All
  • Click the Empty Selected button.

    If you use Firefox browser
    • Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
    • Click the Empty Selected button.

      NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
    If you use Opera browser
    • Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
    • Click the Empty Selected button.

      NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
  • Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

Cleanup with OTMoveIt:
  • Please double-click OTMoveIt2.exe to run it.
  • Click the Clean up button
  • Click YES at the next prompt (list downloaded, Do you want to begin cleanup process?)
  • Click Yes to the reboot.


To Clear Restore points, please do the following:
  • Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel.
  • Double-click the System icon.
    • NOTE: If the System icon is not visible, click "View all Control Panel options" to display it.
  • Click the System Restore tab.
  • Put a check by Disable System Restore.
  • Click Apply, OK, OK. Click Yes when you are prompted to restart Windows.
After reboot, you must turn System Restore back on:
  • Go back to the System Restore tab.
  • UNcheck Disable System Restore.
  • Click Apply, OK, OK. Click Yes when you are prompted to restart Windows.

Lastly, some extra or better security for your PC:

The programs recommended below are freeware alternatives to some of your security software & might reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future:-

Spyware Prevention:
Spyware Blaster by JavaCool Software, prevents spyware installing and consumes no system resources.
IE/SpyAd, stops suspect sites loading ActiveX, popups etc onto your PC. An excellent tutorial is Here

Spyware Detection:
AVG Anti-Spyware is my favourite here.

Anti-Virus:
The first line of defence, especially since some will now detect trojans as well.
Avira's Antivir PersonalEdition Classic and Grisoft's Avast! Free Edition are among the best freebies.
*Please note* You should never install more than one anti-virus program on a PC, as it will cause conflicts.

Firewall:
A Firewall is an essential tool in the security of any PC connected to the Internet.
Sunbelt Personal Firewall and Comodo are both excellent freeware.

Alternate Browsers:
Thankfully, there are now some excellent alternatives to MS Internet Explorer. They offer better security, more stability, and better speed.
A couple of good examples are: Firefox and Opera

Other Updates:
Vital security patches and updates are available for Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer at the Windows Update Site
It is equally important to update the other security software you use, on a regular basis.

Further reading about these issues is available in a very good article: How did I get infected in the first place ? (by Tony Klein and dvk01)

All the best & safe surfing in the future,
