Hi,
first my wallpaper changed into a fake windows error. then some programs installed themselves. My homepage changed as usual.
I erased those programs and did scans with cwshredder, spybot and adaware. I cleaned my computer. But fake error didn't disappear. if i reboot my computer with an internet connection, those programs install themselves again.
If i reboot it without a connection fake error is still there and i cannot reach my task manager. I do a re scan every time and adaware finds 2 problems. When i clean these problems, i can reach my taskbar but fake error is still there.
At startup an error message appears (vxh8jkdq2.exe not working).

I tried all but can't change the fate of my computer.

So this is my hijackthis log:

Welcome burakt82 to Geeks to Go!

Sorry for the delay, the forums are very busy.

Please read these instructions carefully. You may want to print them. Copy the text to a Notepad file and save it to your desktop! We will need the file later.
Be sure to follow ALL instructions!



Please move HijackThis to a folder of it's own, before moving on. Then, when asked to, open HijackThis from within it's own folder.

***

Let's first download some helpers:

Download CleanUp!.
If that doesn’t work, use this link.
Don't run the program, we'll do that later.

***

Please download the Killbox.
Unzip it to the desktop but do NOT run it yet.
*In the event you already have Killbox, this is a new version that I need you to download.

***

Open HijackThis
Go to ‘config’
Go to ‘misc tools’
Press ‘open process manager’
Select the process, press ‘kill process’ (and repeat this if necessary):
D:\WINDOWS\system32\kernels32.exe
D:\WINDOWS\system32\msxct.exe
D:\WINDOWS\system32\signcode.exe
D:\WINDOWS\system32\win32.exe

press ‘back’
than press ‘scan’

***

Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:

O2 - BHO: Loader Class - {2E246FAE-8420-11D9-870D-000C2917DE7F} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Loader.dll (file missing)

O15 - Trusted IP range: 67.19.178.84

O15 - Trusted IP range: 67.19.178.84 (HKLM)

Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

****Restart the computer to safe mode.
*as soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
*Use the arrow keys to select the Safe mode menu item
*press Enter.
***

Please double-click Killbox.exe to run it.

* Select "Delete on Reboot".

* Open the Notepad file where you saved the file paths earlier and copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C

D:\WINDOWS\system32\kernels32.exe
D:\WINDOWS\system32\msxct.exe
D:\WINDOWS\system32\signcode.exe
D:\WINDOWS\system32\win32.exe
C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate\AutoUpdate.exe
D:\WINDOWS\system32\Services\{93CC68D7-1A20-454E-9EBD-6508F97173DD}\SECURITY.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.

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

***

Open Cleanup.exe
Go to options
Select ‘custom’
Put a check to:
[list]* empty recycle bins
* delete prefetch files
* CleanUp! All users.[list]
Press 'cleanup!'

Once it's done, log off and log on again. This will remove files that were in use during the scan.

***

Right-Click HERE and Save As to download DelDomains.inf to your desktop.
To use: RIGHT-CLICK DelDomains.inf on your desktop and select: Install (no need to restart)
Note: This will remove all entries in the "Trusted Zone" and "Ranges" also.

***

Go to www.trendmicro.com, and then:

1. Click "Free Online Scan".
2. Click "Scan now, it's free".

It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's down:

1. Select all available drives.
2. Check(tick) "Auto Clean".
3. Click "Scan".

When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.

Also post me a fresh scanlog using HijackThis.





If you have resolved this issue please let us know.
Thanks and again sorry for the late reply.

Burakt82:

please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
  • Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

    See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

    Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources

  • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

    For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

    Understanding and Using Firewalls

  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

  • Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware, Malware, and Hijackers

  • Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer

  • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
