Hi Brandi Seelye,

Combofix Script.txt

1. Please open Notepad

Click Start , then Run
Type notepad .exe in the Run Box.

2. Now copy/paste the entire content of the codebox below into the Notepad window:

File::

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wmidext.dll
c:\windows\system32\shwired.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spw.exe 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shai.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shls.dll
Folder::

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SHWired Helper"=-

3. Save the above as CFScript.txt

4. Then drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe as depicted in the animation below. This will start ComboFix again.

Hi
When Combofix rebooted my computer I got the blue screen of death. I had to shut it down and restart. I ran Hijackthis and the files you asked me to check off were not there but I included the log. Also Avast did not start on reboot and my clock did not go back to normal.

Hi Brandi,

Combofix Script.txt

Click Start , then Run
Type notepad .exe in the Run Box.

2. Now copy/paste the entire content of the codebox below into the Notepad window:

Folder::

I keep getting an error after I run combofix that says Content.IES\sxopx3a\docume~1.js is corrupt and unreadable. Avast is not starting in my system tray so I am not receiving error messages

Hi Brandi,

Your logs are looking good, and that corrupt file is in a temp folder, so lets do this:

Please re-run ATF cleaner Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program, Under Main choose: Select All, then Click the Empty Selected button.

then next:

ComboFix Removal

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware
[List]
Click START then RUN
Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

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

After that, re-start your computer and let me know how it’s running. If that doesn’t take care of Avast you may have to uninstall it, then reinstall it.

Hi thank you so much for all your help. My computer is running much faster and no more warnings. I uninstalled Avast and reinstalled. When running through its scan on boot it said it found a virus Win32 trojan. It said it deleted the virus. Does that mean it is gone? Also what can I get rid of for programs that I installed or should I keep them? Again...THANK YOU for all your help.

I uninstalled Avast and reinstalled. When running through its scan on boot it said it found a virus Win32 trojan. It said it deleted the virus. Does that mean it is gone? Also what can I get rid of for programs that I installed or should I keep them?

Good to hear things are running better, as far as what Avast found (Win32 trojan) I am not sure, so we better do another scan just to make sure. As far as the tools / programs we used you can delete them all when I give you the all clear. However I would keep ATF Cleaner it’s a good tool to have, I run my ATF Cleaner every two or three days just to clean out the junk I don’t need.

Lets get a look at what Avast might of found

Kaspersky WebScanner
Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

Click on Accept

You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
Now click on Scan Settings
In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
- Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
- Scan Options:
Scan Archives
Scan Mail Bases
Click OK
Now under select a target to scan:Select My Computer
This will program will start and scan your system.
The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
- Now click on the Save as Text button:
Save the file to your desktop.
Copy and paste that information in your next post.

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

Needed in next reply:

Kaspersky results

Hi Brandi,

Well everything looks good, the only thing that was found in the scan was

C:\Documents and Settings\Seelye Computer\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Hotmail (br fa5\Ebay\744374CD-0000000A.eml
/[From "eBay"<[email protected]>][Date Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:19:18 -0700]

Witch is an email from eBay you received on March 17th. If it’s a legit email you can keep it, if it’s suspicious to you just delete it.

Next:

Reset your restore points

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(Windows XP)
1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

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

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

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

Posted Image

1.) Watch what you download!
Many freeware programs, and P2P programs like Grokster, Imesh, Kazaa and others are amongst the most notorious, come with an enormous amount of bundled spyware that will eat system resources, slow down your system, clash with other installed software, or just plain crash your browser or even Windows itself. If you insist on using a P2P program, please read This Article written by Mike Healan of Spywareinfo.com fame. It is an updated and comprehensive article that gives in-depth detail about which P2P programs are "safe" to use.

Posted Image

2.) Go to Intenet Explorer > Tools > Windows Update > Product Updates, and install ALL High-Priority Security Updates listed. If you're running Windows XP, that of course includes the Service Pack 2! If you suspect your computer is infected with Malware of any type, we advise you to not install SP2 if you don't already have it. You can post a HijackThis log on our Forums to get free Expert help cleaning your machine. Once you are sure you have a clean system, it is highly recommended to install SP2 to help prevent against future infections.

It's important to always keep current with the latest security fixes from Microsoft.
Install those patches for Internet Explorer, and make sure your installation of Java VM is up-to-date. There are some well known security bugs with Microsoft Java VM which are exploited regularly by browser hijackers.

Posted Image

3.) Open Intenet Explorer and go to Internet Options > Security > Internet, then press "Default Level", then OK. Now press "Custom Level." In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".

Now you will be asked whether you want ActiveX objects to be executed and whether you want software to be installed.
Sites that you know for sure are above suspicion can be moved to the Trusted Zone in Internet Option > Security.

So why is ActiveX so dangerous that you have to increase the security for it?
When your browser runs an activex control, it is running an executable program. It's no different from doubleclicking an exe file on your hard drive.
Would you run just any random file downloaded off a web site without knowing what it is and what it does?

Posted Image

4.) Install Javacool's SpywareBlaster

It will protect you from most spy/foistware in it's database by blocking installation of their ActiveX objects.

Download and install, download the latest updates, and you'll see a list of all spyware programs covered by the program (NOTE: this is NOT spyware found on your computer) Press "Enable All Protection", and you're done.
The spyware that you told Spywareblaster to set the "kill bit" for won't be a hazard to you any longer. Although it won't protect you from every form of spyware known to man, it is a very potent extra layer of protection.
Don't forget to check for updates every week or so.

Posted Image

5.) Let's also not forget that Spybot Search & Destroy has the Immunize feature which works roughly the same way. Another feature within Spybot is the TeaTimer option. This option immediately detects known malicious processes wanting to start and terminates them. TeaTimer also detects when something wants to change some critical registry keys and gives you an option to allow them or not.

Posted Image

6.) Microsoft now offers their own free malicious software blocking tool. Windows Defender improves Internet browsing safety by guarding over fifty (50) ways spyware can enter your PC.

Posted Image

7.) Another excellent program by Javacool we recommend is SpywareGuard.
It provides a degree of real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.

Posted Image

8.) IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all. Another good hosts program is mvpshosts. This little program packs a powerful punch as it block ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers. For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial.

*It is important to note that all of the above programs/files can be run simultaneously on your system. They will work together in layers, so to speak, to help protect your computer. However, the following suggestions are designed to only run one of each. It is not a good idea to run more than one firewall, and one anti-virus program. Running more than one of these at a time can cause system crashes, high system usage and/or conflicts with each other.*

Posted Image

9.) It is critical that you use a firewall to protect your computer from hackers. We don't recommend the firewall that comes built in to Windows. It doesn't block everything that may try to get in, and the entire firewall is written to the registry. As various kinds of malware hack the Registry in order to disable the Windows firewall, it's far preferable to install one of the excellent third party solutions. Three good ones that are freeware to boot are ZoneAlarm, Kerio and Sygate

Posted Image

10.) An Anti-Virus product is a necessity. There are many excellent programs that you can purchase. However, we choose to advocate the use of free programs whenever possible. Some very good and easy-to-use free A/V programs are AVG, Avast, and AntiVir. It's a good idea to set these to receive automatic updates so you are always as fully protected as possible from the newest virus threats.

NOTE: DO NOT install more than one anti-virus program. They will conflict, and provide less protection, not more.

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.

Thanks for letting us help you!
