Alrighty,things are definately looking better. I have Avast & PC Tools up and running, and updated Acrobat. I'm still not able to update Window's but that may be alright, I'll just have to invest in some real Window's software sometime.
For some reason I'm not allowed to move any icon's down to the bar at the bottom of my desktop for a one-click
option like I used to be able too. I can move them, but they wont stay there.
And can I or should remove WUFix, Kaspersky, xp_exe_fix, and ComboFix ?

Just wanted to show you what the icon on my desktop says about Windows.
I already said it wont let me upgrade, but oh well, probably fine for now.
"This version of Window's XP is no longer secure".
And it wont let me delete the icon.

Well it is all looking much better to me.

And can I or should remove WUFix, Kaspersky, xp_exe_fix, and ComboFix ?


We will do that at the end which I don't think will be long now. The reason we do it at the end is because some of the tools we use backup what they remove, also ComboFix backs up your registry. This gives us a recovery position if needed.

This version of Window's XP is no longer secure


The link below tells you about that message.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933274

And try this again, if my memory serves me we tried this earlier but since then I think we have removed quite a bit of rubbish.

To reset windows updates

1. Download WUFix.zip and unzip to your desktop.
2. Double-Click WUFix.bat to run fix.
3. You will see a window open and commands processing. When the window closes the fix will have completed.
4. Restart the computer.

This fix will clear the proxy cache, places Windows Update sites in the Trusted Zone, places Windows Update sites in the exception list of IE Popup Blocker, starts all dependent services, registers required DLLS, empties the Windows Update temporary folder (with backup), renames the catroot2 folder, retains update history and Event log, and deletes BITS pending download queue.

Once done, go back to the Windows Update Website (You must use the Microsoft Internet Explorer to do this). Check your history.

Now

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O18 - Protocol: linkscanner - {F274614C-63F8-47D5-A4D1-FBDDE494F8D1} - C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\avgpp.dll (file missing)

Close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.

Close HiJackThis.

When you return please post a new HijackThis log and tell me whether there has been a change with you update situation.

Still no Windows Update.
I've been at the site trying to find anything that will work, starting with the basic's, but when open the file I
always get: KB822603 Setup Error - Setup has detected that the version of the Service Pack installed on your
system is lower than what is necessary to apply to this hotfix.
At minimum you must have Service Pack 1 installed.
Or something similar. And I tried to download Service pack 1 and got the same thing.
So, I can keep looking.
Oops, see next post.

Hi GordonW,

Just one thing to check before we go to cleaning away the tools we have been using.

After that, all going well, I think you should post in the XP Tech forum. They are better placed to solve the update and drag and drop problems you are experiencing.

Please run the MGA Diagnostic Tool and post back the report it produces:
  • Download MGADiag to your desktop.
  • Double-click on MGADiag.exe to launch the program
  • Click "Continue"
  • Ensure that the "Windows" tab is selected (it should be by default).
  • Click the "Copy" button to copy the MGA Diagnostic Report to the Windows clipboard.
  • Paste the MGA Diagnostic Report back here in your next reply.

Woo Hoo, successful Internet Explorer update. Finally.
The only thing I can see now is how to get the bar on the bottom of my desktop to except icon's I may want to put down there for a one-click pick. But I guess it's not that big of a deal if I can't.

Woo Hoo, successful Internet Explorer update. Finally.


I take it this means you have been able to update Windows. If that is the case there is no need to run the MGA tool.

Now

When I check back on that latest HijackThis log I see some leftovers there that I thought we had got rid of.

We will try a different approach for the AVG left overs and deal with the adware entries with HijackThis.

Next

We need to get rid of some services running on your machine. To do this, copy (Ctrl +C) and paste (Ctrl +V) the text in the code box below to Notepad.

@echo off
sc stop avg8wd
sc stopavg8emc
sc delete avg8wd
sc delete avg8emc
exit

Save it to your desktop as File name: Service.cmd
Save as type: All Files

Once done, double click Service.cmd to run it. A command window will open briefly, then close. This is quite normal.

Next

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

Close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.

Close HiJackThis.

After that

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browserClick 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 browserClick 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.

Finally in this post

You have used Malwarebytes before. If you still have it on your machine please update and run. Post the scan report back here.

If you no-longer have Malwarebytes please download from Here or Here

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.
Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.

So when you return please post
  • the MBAM log
  • a new HijackThis log

Hello again GordonW,

but the Service Pack 2 won't for some reason


My thought is that now days you probably go straight to Service Pack 3 which I think includes Service Pack 2 but the techs would know for certain. As I said earlier you could post a topic there. If you do tell them you have been here and have a clean bill of health on the malware side. You could also post a link to this thread.

Been and interesting in trip but I think your machine is clean now.

We have a couple of last steps to perform and then you're all set.Posted Image

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and some tools used in the removal of malware
  • 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.
    Posted Image
After that please go here to download OTCleanIt.

Run this program to remove the remaining tools we have been using.

You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process choose Yes.

MBAM can be uninstalled via control panel add/remove but it may be a useful tool to keep. Erunt can also be uninstalled via the add/remove programs utility, for some though, it may be a useful back up program to hold on to. The AFT folder can be deleted but you might like to keep it too. I run it once a week to remove temporary bits and pieces that are not required and can be a security risk. The JavaRa folder can be deleted. HijackThis can be uninstalled via the Add or Remove Programs utility in the Control Panel. Delete the DrWebCureIt download files. Also you can delete the folders for MGA Diag. Tool, WUFix tool and XP exe fix (hopefully I've got them all).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A reminder now: Remember to turn back on any anti-malware programs you may have turned off during the cleaning process.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that you are clean here are some things I think are worth having a look at:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A great way to check that your Microsoft and Java have the latest updates is to go to Software Inspector at Secunia.

I do this weekly. Not only do they tell you which programs need updating but they give you the link to follow.

To bolster your security go to Secunia.com to ensure essential programs are up to date.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make Internet Explorer more secure
  • Click Start > Run
  • Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
  • Click on the Security tab
  • Click Reset all zones to default level
  • Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click 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".
  • Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
* MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

* Consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is excellant; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up blocker (Note: this as an added benefit!) that I have seen. Firefox is my default browser but I retain Internet Explorer as well so that I can access the very few sites that require it.

Firefox may be downloaded from Here

Startuplite is a tool to help you stop some programs not needed when you start your computer from loading. They will begin automatically only when needed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To help protect your computer in the future here are some free programs you can look at:


To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this article by Tony Klein: So how did I get infected in the first place?

Have a safe and happy computing day!

Emerald, thank you for everything you've done. It's been one heck of a ride. A full week of this. Wow!
I Believe the best thing in life a person can do is to help others, and you sure did your share this week.
Unfortunately I'm one of the many unemployed here in the US, but I have a note on my computer to get
a donation to you as soon as I can. It might not all be at once but you earned it. I'm a man of my word.
Thanks again!
