Good morning Geeks!

I have recently (yesterday) started a new job billing and it seems the person before me surfed A LOT!!
Anyway, there are popups coming when IE is not even on. Please help me get rid of these things. I have run Adaware and Spybot to no avail (On these at least)
Here is my HiJack log:

I do see where a lot of issues are PC specific, so that's why I added mine to the list. The Aurora pop up is the worst and I would hate to screw up this machine at work (worse than it is :tazz:

)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Wendy,

Welcome to G2G, Let's get this bal rolling.

Please open Notepad, and copy/paste the code in the white box below into a new text file. Save it as FindFile.bat and save it on your Desktop.

dir C:\WINDOWS\system32\??oolsv.exe /a h > files.txt
notepad files.txt

Locate FindFile.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it. It will open Notepad with some text in it. Please post the text here in this tread

Hi Wendy,

Here go, let's get this sorted.

You have a nasty nail infection, and i don't mean on your fingers and toes :tazz:

We are going to hit this with a big hammer.

Firstly please create a new folder on your C drive (for example C\HJT). Install HJT into that folder and run it from there. That way it can create backups if required.

Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

Please download Nailfix from here:
http://dknoppix.com/...oad.cgi?Nailfix
Unzip it to the desktop but please do NOT run it yet.

Please download Cleanup from here:
Cleanup. Do not run it yet.

Set up PC to show hidden files.(Click link if you do not know how)
Show hidden files

Click Start > Run > and type in:

services.msc

Click OK.

In the services window find .Service: System Startup Service
Rightclick and choose "Properties". On the "General" tab under "Service Status" click the "Stop" button to stop the service. Beside "Startup Type" in the dropdown menu select "Disabled". Click Apply then OK. Exit the Services utility.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site:
http://www.pchell.co.../safemode.shtml

Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on Nailfix.bat. Your desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

Then please run Ewido, and run a full scan. This may take some time, so go grab a coffee. Once it finds the first issue tick the box for all. Post the log from the scan here for me.

Then please run HijackThis, click Scan, and check:

O23 - Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe

Close all open windows except for HijackThis and click Fix Checked.

Now using windows explorer locate and delete the following files/folders if found.

C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\zzqzj.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ddnpg.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kzlznr.exe reg_run
C:\Program Files\rdso\eetu.exe
C:\Program Files\Ebates_MoeMoneyMaker\Sy350\Tp350\scri350a.htm
C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe

Now run Cleanup

Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

Usetobe,

I have a question for you....

In the last post you said "Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on Nailfix.bat"

When I extract Nailfix.zip there's only a nailfix.cmd and Process.exe

Which do I choose?

I will follow up with you in the am, since it's about time for me to scoot out for the day.
Thanks a TON!!

Wendy

Hi Wendy,

I knew there was something not quite right

Here we go again,

Reboot into Safe mode again (the F8 routine)

Click Start > Run > and type in:

services.msc

Click OK.

In the services window find .Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc)
Rightclick and choose "Properties". On the "General" tab under "Service Status" click the "Stop" button to stop the service. Beside "Startup Type" in the dropdown menu select "Disabled". Click Apply then OK. Exit the Services utility.

Rescan with HJT and check the following

O2 - BHO: Band Class - {01F44A8A-8C97-4325-A378-76E68DC4AB2E} - C:\WINDOWS\systb.dll (file missing)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2CDE1A7D-A478-4291-BF31-E1B4C16F92EB} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [yeyarj] C:\WINDOWS\systb.dll (file missing)
O23 - Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe (file missing)

Ensure no windows open and click fix checked.

Now in HJT click on Misc Tools section then on Delete an NT Service.

In the popup box copy and paste the below and ok it.

SvcProc
Ensure pc setup to show hidden files and using windows explorer, locate and delete the following files if found:

C:\WINDOWS\systb.dll
C:\WINDOWS\systb.dll
C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe

Now reboot pc normally, rescan with HJT and post THAT :tazz:

log back

Will do!

For now it's running a bit smoother, but I will get to this asap.
Imagine that actually want me to work while I'm here!
I'll post as soon as I can get the spare time to run it all and thank you so much!

And I did a search on svcproc.exe and found SVCPROC.EXE-264F1247.pf in C:\Windows\Prefetch

Should I delete this?

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Hi wendy,

I was getting to prefetch and system restore points next....You are on the ball....want my job?

Reboot into Safe mode.

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder:

C:\Windows\Prefetch

If there are any files inside the Prefetch folder, delete ALL of them. (Do NOT delete the folder. Just delete the files inside.)

Now reboot normally.

To delete all the restore points on your computer, disable and re-enable system restore on the system. Click Start, Control Panel, and then the System icon. Click on the System Restore tab in the dialog box, select the Turn off System Restore check box, and click Apply. Clear the check box again to re-enable System Restore and then click OK.

From your log, I see nothing in the ways of trojans, nor any evil entities attempting to possess your computer, except for Windows but it's too late for that one. :tazz:

Congratulations your log now appears to be clean.

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

Detect and Remove Programs:

How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.

Prevention Programs:

Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

Other necessary Programs:

AntiVirus Program<= An AntiVirus program is a must! Whether it is a free version like AVG or Anti-Vir, or a shareware version like Norton or Kapersky, this is a must have.
Firewall<= A firewall is definatley a must have. Two good free versions are Sygate and ZoneLabs.
More Secure Browser<= Internet Explorer is not the most secure and best browser. There are safer and better alternatives available. I recommend Firefox, however Opera and SlimBrowsers are good as well.

And also see TonyKlein's good advice
So how did I get infected in the first place? and AntiSpyware Net's spyware article: Spyware, Adware, Malware: What it is, how it got on my computer, how to get rid of it, and how to prevent it.

Thank you so much for taking time to help me. You're greatly appreciated.

As for taking your job.....uh......na, that's ok.
