please help! IE completely does not work, a blank completley functionless window is all that opens, with no address bar, even though I believe my internet is working fine b/c updates for adaware and spybot worked...

there are several other symptoms actually:
-after the first couple reboots, it said IE was not set as default browser, and asked if i would like to make it so...after either response the nonfuctioning window opens...now it has stopped asking me (presumably after a few adaware and spybot scans) but the broken window still opens at every startup.
-Norton Internet Security are gone/do not work, but their program files remain
-Actual folders are slow/difficult to to close (music pictures work fine)
-double clicking of dsktop shortcuts doesn't work (the icon fades to ghostlike), but they still open via right click
-quick launch bar keeps disappearing on its own
-a couple times I have gotten the messages "Due to an identified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings" and "windows security center has detected suspicious activity of your internet connection"
-"Mycomputer" and "MyNetworkConnections" are now simply labeled as "folder"
-some other start menu items either have been renamed to "folder", have a folder picture in front them where the usual icon should be (control panel), or are missing completely (search, run, help center, etc.)
-add/remove programs list is blank, so i could delete nothing that way
-javaij32.exe and apizr.exe could not be ffound (good or bad?)
-favorites folder had an html shortcut titled www.7days.ws and a subfolder titled "sites about" with multiple html linked product ads

CWS shredder didn't seem to catch anything, winpatrol and spyware blaster refused to install...Spybot and AdAware deleted a few things like always, but the only symptom they cleared i believe was the last one with the favorites folder.

(Quick sidenote, I also ran AVG, which found a virus called VBS/Psyme that infected the file C:\windows\tmp.hta. the file is currently in AVG vault, heal failed. how do i fix it?)

and this is where my computer stands at the moment- still very problematic. I have left my internet unplugged on my pc, since I dont want further hijacking. I am posting from a pals computer...

I've spent all day frustrated and confused, now HijackThis is my last resort. here is my HJT log:

Hi there, and welcome! My name is Kat, and I'll be helping you to get your computer fixed up and on the run again! You may want to print these instructions or save them to a NotePad file on your desktop to make it easier for you to follow each step in order!

Before we begin, please turn off Spybot S&D's TeaTimer function and do not turn it back on until we are finished with your fix. Having it on can interfere with tools working properly, and files being deleted. To turn it off, right click the TeaTimer icon in your system tray, and click "Exit".

1.
  • Prepare CWShredder for use:
    • Download CWShredder.
    • Save CWShredder.exe to a convenient location.
    • Please do not do anything with it yet.

    • Download cwsserviceremove.zip.
    • Unzip the contents of cwsserviceremove.zip (cwsserviceremove.reg) to your desktop.
    • Please do not do anything with it yet.
Reconfigure Windows XP to show hidden files:
Click Start. Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options. Select the View Tab.

Under the Hidden files and folders heading select "Show hidden files and folders".
Uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" option.
Uncheck the "Hide file extensions for known file types" option.
Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.

Boot into Safe Mode:
Restart your computer and immediately begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.
If done right a Windows Advanced Options menu will appear. Select the Safe Mode option and press Enter.
To return to normal mode just restart your computer as you normally would.
Run CWShredder:
  • Double-click on CWShredder.exe.
  • Click "Fix ->" and click "OK" at the prompt.
  • CWShredder will scan and clean your system of CWS files.
  • Click "Next->" and then "Exit".
Remove the offending service:
  • Double-click on cwsserviceremove.reg you downloaded earlier.
  • When it asks you to merge the information to the registry click "Yes".
Run AboutBuster
  • Browse to where you saved AboutBuster and run AboutBuster.exe.
  • Click OK at the directions prompt.
  • Click Start and then OK to allow AboutBuster to scan for Alternate Data Streams.
  • Click Yes to allow it to shutdown explorer.exe.
  • It will begin to your computer for malicious files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
Clean out temporary files:
  • Start | Run | type cleanmgr | OK
  • Let it scan your system for files to remove.
  • Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
  • Click "OK" to remove them.
  • Click "Yes" to confirm the deletion.
Restart your computer normally to return to normal mode.

Hello Kat, thank you very much for your assitance and speedy response!

Symptoms are still the same, nothing has improved of which I am aware of. However, this is probably due to some things I did wrong/new problems:

Turning off teatimer was something I did via task manager, since there was no icon in system tray (bottom right next to clock?)...later on after the second reboot (first one in standard mode), tea timer was activated, and was asking me to deny/accept various changes. It seemed every folder I opened in standard windows after that prompted a value change, usually with "search assistant, or something similar, so i denied those...sometimes it was to accept what our cws/aboutblaster/cwsservice/HJT efforts had deleted, so i accepted those.

Another potential problem was that RUN is still missing in the start menu, even when in safe mode. Thus, I deleted what I could in control panel, internet options: deleted cookies, temp int files (all offline content checked), and cleared history. was this method good enough? it was all i could do...

Another problem was that my Add/Remove Programs list is still BLANK, so i could not get rid of stuff i was supposed to find in there. But, I did remove the folders u specified with windows explorer (mjgtgl.exe, msnx32.exe, apizr.exe were missing though)

Lastly, I could not scan the computer at the ewido.net url, since IE is still lacking any useful function. what did I do wrong? is there any other way around these roadblocks? Hopefully a new HJT log helps, here it is (thanks again!):

Hi ThePhoenix741,

Do you have SP2 on a CD or did you download it?

If you have it on CD insert that CD and bring up TaskManager
On the Applications tab choose new task and navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe

Start it and the command prompt will come up
type cd\ and enter
type sfc /scannow (Note the space behind sfc)

A new window will open and windows will start looking for missing and corrupted system files. If the CD is in the drive it will get them from there.
If you don't have it let us know what files it wants.

Regards,

Hey Metallica,

If I have service pack 2, i guess i got it from a download...

I did the corrupt/missing file search, but oddly enough, the box just disappeared after the blue bar filled 100%...it didn't prompt me for anything afterwards...does this mean no files are corrupt/missing? I have a feeling that's not the case, but i hope im wrong...

what should I do next? thanks in advance guys

That should mean nothing is missing. But I have a feeling something is hooked into explorer.

*Click Here to download Killbox by Option^Explicit.
*Extract the program to your desktop and double-click on its folder, then double-click on Killbox.exe to start the program.
*In the killbox program, select the Delete on Reboot option.
*Open the text file with these instructions in it, and copy the file names below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing Control-C:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\apipq32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\crlk.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kiakri.exe

*Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard".
*Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.

While your computer is restarting, tap the F8 key continually until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode, then hit enter.

Run HijackThis and put checkmarks in front of he following items.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

Then (still in safe mode) rerun About:Buster and CWShredder.

Boot back to normal and post a new log.

hey metallica, I think it helped some. here are some things i encountered along the way, not sure if they're problems or nothing to worry about but here goes.

-while using Killbox, i got a message of "Pending file rename operations registry data has been removed by external processes!" at the time u said i was supposed to get an option to click NO at the pending operations prompt.

-during HJT after restart, there were still some suspicious looking lines I left unchecked since u didn't specificially ask for them. for example:

R0-HKLM/...search assistant...gxrwz.dll...#14044 (u specified R1, though not R0)
R1-HKCU/...main search bar....gxrwz.dll...#14044 (instead of 37049 like u said. are these numbers changing randomly after each reboot perhaps by the virus/malware to fool us? just wondering

-I then ran CWS (found nothing) and finished with about buster. after rebooting in normal mode, there were some changes:

1.Iexplore didn't try to open itself again
2.spybot prompted me a few times to allow/deny changes basically saying to allow google to become my hoempage/searchpage again; i recognized these changes as deletions that we performed by choice.
3. cpu processes totaled at 47 (0 to 7% usage) compared to before, which was 50 processes (50% and up in usage)
4.folders/windows open/close normally for the most part

but i opened internet explorer to see if google would open up. it said www.google.com in the blue strip on top of the window, but the address bar was still missing, and menu functions like file edit etc. still didn't respond.

what else do I need to do? here is the log and thanks again:

You were right about the filenames changing at boot. :tazz:
That is indeed what it does.

Click Start > Run type services.msc > OK
In the list of services find:
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper
Rightclick that line and choose Properties.
On the General tab Stop and set the service to disabled.
In HijackThis click Config > Misc Tools > Delete an NT service
In the dialog box paste: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper

Changing Ownership of a Registry Key
1. Click the key for which you want to change ownership.
2. On the Edit menu, click Permissions.
3. Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
4. Under Change owner to, click the new owner, and then click OK.
Note: You can permit another user to take ownership of a registry key only if you are the current owner of the key. To permit a user to take ownership of a registry key, you must first grant the user Full Control of the key. You can take ownership of a registry key if you are logged on as an administrator, or if you have been specifically assigned the permission to take ownership of the registry key by the current owner.


Then click Start > Run > type regedt32 > OK
The registry editor will open, in there navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects and take ownership of that key as described above.
Close the registry editor when you are done.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

i still dont have run in my start menu, so i used task manager create new task, is that ok?

anyway, when trying to open services.msc, i got this error message:

"Microsoft Management Console:
MMC cannot open the file C:\windows\system32\services.msc

This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file."

i know the file exists, i saw it....perhaps the malware screwed up the access rights...should i try opening services.msc in safe mode? thanks

1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
3. Under System Variables double-click the PATH environment variable.
4. Type:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM
Note If other system variables appear, do not remove them.
5. Click OK, and then click OK.

Let me know if that allows you to open the MMC.

You are logged on as an administrator, right?

No, it just gave me the same error message...

just so you know, I found the path variable exactly the way you told me to type it, only with this extension right after "Wbem":
";c:\Python22;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel; C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared"

also, I am always logged in as the administrator, as it has been the only user name on my computer since I got it...

What should I do now? thanks again

You said you saw the services.msc file.
What happens when you doubleclick it?
It should open the services window, but let me know.

hi metallica,

when i double click it, the very same MMC error message comes up...

perhaps we can change what service.msc opens with, using something other than MMC? just a thought, thanks again

...also, right clicking on services.msc gives the option to "run as.."

by clicking this i noticed its possible to uncheck the option "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity"...perhaps this is what the malware has taken control of, making it seem like WE are the unauthorized users and giving that error message all the time???

what do u think?

thanks again

Maybe there is a service that is causing the mmc to crash.

Try this:
