I'm goin bananas here!

I guess I've just been lucky over the years and rarely ever have a problem with malware/virus. I use regularly AVG, Spybot S&D, and Ad-Aware. Combined with safe web surfing, I generally don't encounter such situations as I'm in now, or at least I could always handle them before.

Let me start by saying I went throught the stickies, and followed all directions as best I could. (I avoided the online scans as they are painfully long on dial-up, however I will probably start one before I go to bed this evening).

Now, my problem. Boot my computer up (I'm on dial up), and I start getting a pop-up immediately, mz.oucihax.info wants the internet and is trying to dial out to it. I've related this to the process RASAUTOU.EXE in my processes list. Shortly after I do connect, I get a command window pop-up, immediately followed by an empty folder coming up which is my C:\Temp\Update.html folder. Also, AVG seems to find a "Padobot" virus on my machine daily, always thinking it effectively cleans it, but it always comes back. I find it every manual virus scan as well.

Not sure what else I can tell you about it, so here's my Hijackthis logfile:



UPDATE 6/04/05

Ok, finally got my SP2 disc and installed. I think that cured alot of my problems, but not all. I also noticed something strange after installation that I believe is related. Around when all this started, it started asking me to click mu user name upon starting XP. I only have one account, so it never did that before. Upon SP2 installation, I tried turning on the firewall, and it won't let me, something about network admin settings. I'm not on a network, only dial up. (That's one of the probs I still have). Anyway, my first reaction was to go into control panel > users to make sure I had the admin account, and I found another user account there called ASP.net that was invisible and password protected. I deleted the account, and it no longer asks me to pick a user, it loads straight up like before. I'm guessing that was part of the virus? Anyways, here's a new HiJack this log that I just made with SP2. Thanks again!

During posting this, that darn command window opened again, and then the C:\Temp folder, and AVG is popping up saying a Downloader.Istbar.8BG is trying to install....couple different ones actually, and it won't delete the file(s)


Thanks again,


Update

After posting this, my spybot was goin nuts with programs trying to alter registry settings. I went into safe mode, ran a complete virus scan, found 8. Deleted all 8. Ran ad aware, found 11 there, deleted. Ran spybot, found another 8 there. Turned off system restore, ran another scan of each and found nothing. Booted normally, and ran cleanup again. Rebooted again. Ran another Hijack this log, went to sign online again, and here comes that command window again, quicklly disappearing and the C:\Temp folder opening again trying to install something. I quickly "X"'d it out. I think it's identical, but here's the HiJack this log I just made

OK If I follow your story correct. The Windows pops up as soon as you contact the internet. Is that right?

*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.
*Paste the line below in the "Full path to File to Delete" box.
C:\WINDOWS\wkssvc.exe
*Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.

Let your computer reboot. Do it manually if it it doesn't by itself.

Click Start > Run type services.msc > OK
In the list of services find:
Workstation Service Library (Microsoft Locator Service)
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: Microsoft Locator Service

Download: DelDomains.inf
Should the link above display the text instead of downloading the file, then copy & paste the text into notepad and save the file as DellDomains.inf
To use: right-click and select: Install (no need to restart)
Note: This will remove all entries in the "Trusted Zone" and "Ranges" also.

Reboot once more and post a new log.
And let me know if that did it.

I'm not positive on the pop-up thing, I think it may be coincidence when it was popping up. However, it doesn't seem to be doing it right now. I'll be sure and post back in a day or 2 and let you know for sure.

I ran the Killbot and the DelDomain.INF. Both seemed to work.

Everything *seems* ok at the current time, except Windows Firewall. I don't know if it's related or not, I just installed SP2 this week, so maybe something is set wrong. But just incase, I can't turn on my Windows Firewall at all. The whole box is shaded over, and the "No" box is checked. It says it is controlled by group policy, yet I'm not on a network. I am on dial-up.

And here is my latest logfile:

I don't like that. Although I would advise using a different software firewall anyday.

Click Start > Run > copy&paste regedit.exe /e C:\policies.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies" > OK

This will create the file C:\policies.txt
Post the content of that file.

I'm guessing you just want the policies section of it? The whole text file is HUGE!. I *think* this is the only policies section. Please let me know if you really want the whole thing. 45K worth of text.


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\NonEnum]
"{BDEADF00-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}"=dword:00000001
"{6DFD7C5C-2451-11d3-A299-00C04F8EF6AF}"=dword:40000021
"{0DF44EAA-FF21-4412-828E-260A8728E7F1}"=dword:00000020

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]

"legalnoticecaption"=""
"legalnoticetext"=""
"shutdownwithoutlogon"=dword:00000001
"undockwithoutlogon"=dword:00000001


Holy cow, I was wrong. I was gonna put the text file on my FTP for downloadability, it is labeled as 45K, but the file size is 43.9MB!!! That's gotta be wrong, but it was registering as at least a 3 hour upload.

What you posted is the part I asked for.

And there is nothing wrong with that. Let's see if they stashed it somewhere else.
  • Download the Registry Search Tool.
  • Unzip the contents of RegSrch.zip to a convenient location.
  • Double-click on RegSrch.vbs.
  • If you have an anti-virus installed it might prompt you about a running script. Please ignore this warning and allow the script to run.
  • In the "Enter search string (case insensitive) and click OK..." box paste this string:
    • FirewallPolicy
  • Click "OK" to search the registry for that string.
  • Wait for a few minutes while it completes the search.
  • Click "OK" to open the results in WordPad.
  • Copy and paste the entire results into your next post.

All empty.
Let's see if this helps:
http://www.bookpool.com/ct/165

That probably only works for XP Pro, so if you are running XP Home.
Copy the part in bold below into notepad and save it as enablefw.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000001


Doubleclick the file and confirm you want to merge it with the registry.

You were correct, top part didn't seem to match up with anything I had.

I did the registry changes as you described, but surprisingly it didn't help anything, even after restarting.

If you don't think this is a virus/malware related problem, I won't keep bothering you with it. I'm not overly concerned with actually having Windows Firewall, I'm more concerned that the problem is related to virus/malware.

Thanks again for your time,

Well the important part is to be protected, so you should look into getting a firewall, if you haven't already.
Please read:
http://www.wilders.org/firewalls.htm

As to this being due to malware. It's easier to get free access then to completely disable the firewall completely. Looking at your registry keys it looks as if it vanished. Which is strange, so another reason to get a other firewall.

Thanks again! Sorry for not reporting back sooner. It appears to be all better now. I've downloaded a firewall at work onto my jump drive, just have to bring it home and install. Other than some screwy internet options (which I'm pretty sure are unrelated), all seems peachy again. I run a site like this myself for Vw technical assistance, so I know how unrewarding it can be, and I just wanted to extend my gratitude, you guys rock! Thanks again,
