My PC has been hijacked by CWS, and a trojan called "TROJ_AGENT.JI" (this according to TrendMicro's HouseCall). I have tried following TM's directions to get rid of the trojan, but nothing seems to be working. When I try to access something from my desktop, I get a message stating something to the effect of "Windows can not access the selected device, path or file. You may not have required permissions to access this." I have disabled System Restore to keep CWS from popping back up, but even this does not seem to be working.

I use the following programs for protection:
SpySweeper (which finds the CWS bugs, but seems to be unsuccessful in getting rid of them)
Spybot S&D (same thing)
ZoneAlarm
TrendMicro HouseCall (how I found the trojan)

• Click Yes to allow it to shutdown explorer.exe.
• It will begin to check your computer for malicious files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
• Reboot your computer into safe mode again

Run about:buster again following the same instructions as above, this time without the restart at the end

Now run CWShredder. Click I Agree, then Fix and then Next, let it fix everything it asks about.

Now run CleanUp!Reboot your computer into normal windows.

After you have done the above:

Please download ewido security suite it is a trial version of the program.

• Let the program scan the machine

While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files, click OK
Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report

I should add, at this point, that upon restarting the computer, it was a rather long time before the Desktop would allow me to access anything.

Okay, what's next?

[Kat]

Looking much better now! There's still a few things we need to do!

1. First, get rid of NewDotNet. Go to Control Panel:Add/Remove Programs and remove it. If it is not there, go here and follow Procedure 4: http://www.newdotnet.com


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

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked. Reboot into safe mode.

Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.

[/b]Please delete these files using Windows Explorer(if present):
C:\WINDOWS\d3zx.exe
C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdkvj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\appmk32.dll
After that, Reboot.

Reply here with a fresh HJT log!

I should note that I ran CWShredder again just before I ran this HTJ scan, and it said it removed eight infected settings. I am assuming that this is why the IE Home and Search page settings are showing as "about:blank" and "res://C:\WINDOWS\itsig.dll/sp.html#12047" respectively. What should these really be set to for things to work properly again?

I await your kind wisdom.

---Brian

[drfathom]

Sorry----I forgot about this in the previous reply:

That O23 Service: Remote Procedure Call thing is still there, even after following all instructions above. What's the problem?

---Brian

[Kat]

Hi again! The file for that 023 is missing, what you see is just the leftover entry. If we can't get it to go this way, then we'll try a regfile to get rid of it!

Please reboot into Safe Mode, and open HJT. Scan for a log, and check the foloowing entries, then fix them. Reboot normally, and post another log file for review!
