My AVG scan that night found 18 infections (multiples of several):
SHeur2.CRJ
SHeur2.HK
SHeur.CRBJ
Vundo.AV
Generic12.LHS
IUpd721 (reference to)
AVG cleaned them, but said 2 instaces of Vundo.AV (in lsass.exe and hlJDwTLD.dll) would be fixed on the next reboot. My next reboot failed. Tried to restore to recovery point, but that failed (nothing happened when I clicked on Next to do the restore). Eventually was able to run HijackThis (with a friend's help) and clean up enough things that my reboots now work (at least most of the time). Eventually ran Vundo Fix and VirtumundoBegoneand at that point AVG scans (when they worked) showed no issues.
It appears that there's still leftover issues because of the following:
- IE (7.0) gets "cannot display the webpage" at many websites, especially those for AntiVirus/AntiSpyware, including AVG, Kaspersky, GeeksToGo, etc (I'm running this on another computer)
- AVG Update fails with either "Update Manager: control file is missing" or "Connection failed"
- Running an AVG scan gets Avgwdsvc.exe encountered a problem. Sometimes the scan continues, sometimes it doesn't.
- Ad-Aware updates fail with "No Connection to Download Server"
- Google Results page shows larger font than it used to.
- Clicking on Google Result link often goes to a completely different page.
- I've gotten "Windows Explorer has encounted a problem (then shuts down)" a couple of times.
- Reboots hang 50-70% of the time
- Installing some AntiVirus programs fail (e.g. mbam-setup.exe, HJTInstall.exe)
I followed your directions as much as I could (ATFCleaner, SysRestore, ERUNT, etc).
I wasn't sure what you meant by Startup Manager. I did use Windows Defender to disable some startup programs. If needed I can reenable them and rerun HijackThis, or list them. Just let me know.
I couldn't install Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware. When I ran mbam-setup.exe no UI window appeared. I checked the Task Manager and it was still there using 0% of the CPU. Eventually it disappeared.
The same thing happened when I tried to run HJTInstall.exe, so I downloaded HijackThis.exe directly.
I use AVG for AntiVirus and also run Ad-Aware manually once a week to cleanup other spyware. As mentioned above, I haven't gotten an AVG update for several days, and the last few days the AVG nightly scan has stopped without scanning any items. The last full scan that worked found nothing, but I was still having the problems above.
I am running XP with SP2 and all subsequent patches. I have not installed SP3 yet (because my work has not approved it). Let me know if I need to install it now to assist with fixing these issues.
I rebooted after all of these steps, but the problems continued.
Here is my HijackThis log:
