You guys keep coming up when I google for a resolution, so here I am, begging for your help. As the thread title says, I'm getting z1.adserver.com popups. Any advice you can give to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated.

Here we go:

Hello Jason and welcome to Geeks to Go

As an introduction, please note that I am not Superman, I do not know everything, but what I do know has taken me years to learn. I am happy to pass on this information to you, but please bear in mind that I am fallible also. I am not paid to do this; I am a volunteer, giving my time freely.

Before we get underway, you may wish to print these instructions for easy reference during the fix, although please be aware that many of the required URLs are hyperlinks in the red names shown on your screen. Part of the fix will require you to be in Safe Mode, which may not allow you to access the internet, or my instructions!

I can see no evidence that you have run the programmes recommended when you joined the forum, so that will be our first port of call.

I note that you are running HijackThis from Desktop; please create a new folder for it (for example C:\Program Files\Hijackthis\Hijackthis.exe) and move the programme into it. It is very important you do this before anything else since backup files can be deleted if they are not within their own folder!

Firstly could you please disable Norton Autoprotect from running during the fix, it may just hinder our attempts to change anything.

To start please download the following programmes, we will run them later. Please save them to a place that you will remember, I suggest the Desktop:

CWShredder (the download icon is on the right-hand side of the page)
CCleaner
Ewido Security Suite
Hoster

Install Ewido Security Suite (it is a 14-day trial version of the programme).

• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
• The programme will prompt you to update click the OK button
• The programme will now go to the main screen

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.

• On the left hand side of the main screen click update
• Click on Start

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
Once the updates are installed do the following:

• Click on scanner
• Make sure the following boxes are checked before scanning:
  • Binder
  • Crypter
  • Archives
• Click on Start Scan
• Let the programme 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

• Click Save report
• Save the report to your desktop and include it in your reply.

Now please install CWShredder, and run it. Click Check For Update, then Fix and then OK followed by Next, let it fix everything it asks about

Please run Hoster (just double click it to open). Choose the Restore Original Hosts button and press OK.

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

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [YBCaAIcA] C:\WINDOWS\fjhmni.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [qtinuvop] C:\WINDOWS\qtinuvop.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [JavaUpdate0.07] C:\WINDOWS\System32\ktje.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [wouu] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\wouu\wouum.exe

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked. Please now reboot into safe mode. Here's how:

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

Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

Please delete these files (if present) using Windows Explorer:

C:\WINDOWS\fjhmni.exe
C:\WINDOWS\qtinuvop.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ktje.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\wouu\ – the whole folder

Close Windows Explorer and Reboot normally

Now we must hide the files we revealed earlier by reversing the process, this is an important safeguard to stop important system files being deleted by accident.

There is almost certainly bound to be some junk (leftover bits and pieces) on your system that is doing nothing but taking up space. I would recommend that you run CCleaner. Install it, update it, check the default setting in the left-hand pane, Analyze, Run Cleaner. You may be fairly surprised by how much it finds.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and also an Uninstall Log:

Open HijackThis, click Config, click Misc Tools
Click "Open Uninstall Manager"
Click Save List (generates uninstall_list.txt)
Click Save, copy and paste the results in your next post.

and I will take another look.

Please ensure you reply with all 3 logs requested.

Thanks much for the help and welcome. Sorry I didn't go through all of the initial steps before posting - in my excitement to find help, I guess I missed them. Sorry again.

I should also note that, when I was looking around in safe mode, I found a ktje.dat file in the windows\system 32 folder and found a wouu folder in the Windows directory. I didn't delete either of them, as you had me looking for ktje.exe rather than .dat and \wouu in the progra~1\common~1\ folder and I didn't want to screw anything up if those were actually good files to have around and there was just malware using a similar name as protective camoflauge.

Thanks again so much for this and further help.

Hello again Jason

I should also note that, when I was looking around in safe mode, I found a ktje.dat file in the windows\system 32 folder and found a wouu folder in the Windows directory. I didn't delete either of them, as you had me looking for ktje.exe rather than .dat and \wouu in the progra~1\common~1\ folder and I didn't want to screw anything up if those were actually good files to have around and there was just malware using a similar name as protective camoflauge.

Thanks for that information.

Now please don't be sorry about not doing the pre-posting ritual, it just means that we start there anyway, and what a difference it has made already.

This time there is considerably less for us to do, and with any luck, your next log will be clean.

Please run Hoster (just double click it to open). Choose the Restore Original Hosts button and press OK.

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

O9 - Extra button: Support - {8828075D-D097-4055-AA02-2DBFA9D85E8A} - http://www.comcastsupport.com/ (file missing)
O9 - Extra button: Help - {97809617-3937-4F84-B335-9BB05EF1A8D4} - http://online.comcast.net/help/ (file missing)
O9 - Extra button: Real.com - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\Shdocvw.dll

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked. Please now reboot into safe mode. Here's how:

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

Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

Please delete this folder (if present) using Windows Explorer:

Windows\wouu\

Please delete this file (if present) using Windows Explorer:

windows\system 32\ktje.dat

Close Windows Explorer and Reboot normally

Now we must hide the files we revealed earlier by reversing the process, this is an important safeguard to stop important system files being deleted by accident.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and I will take another look

[JasonK]

Done and done. Here's the latest log:

Congratulations! your new log is clean. Just a little bit more to do to prevent further infection.

MOST IMPORTANT: You should update Windows and Internet Explorer to get all the Latest Security Patches to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the internet.

I recommend going to the following link and update as recommended by Microsoft. This adds more security and extra features including a pop-up blocker for Internet Explorer. Microsoft Update

Now that everything is fixed, I suggest that you consider getting these programmes to help keep the computer clean:

SPYWARE BLASTER - Blocks bad ActiveX items from installing on your computer.
AD-AWARE PERSONAL – A fine free malware detector and removal programme
SPYBOT S&D – Excellent free spyware detector and removal programme
GOOGLE TOOLBAR - Blocks many unwanted pop-ups in Internet Explorer.
FIREFOX - Safer alternative to the Internet Explorer web browser.
AVG ANTIVIRUS - Free antivirus programme if you currently are not using one.
ZONEALARM - Free firewall programme if you currently are not using one.

Remember to update these frequently.

Please note that whilst there is nothing wrong in having more than one spyware detector/prevention programmes for “on demand” scanning, having two or more antivirus systems is not recommended as they may well interfere with each other.

You may also want to read "How did I get infected in the first place" to learn how to better secure your computer.

Be sure to keep Windows and your Anti-Virus updated.

Happy safe surfing Jason
