Geeks--

First, I appreciate this fantastic website. I have referenced it several times and found great success. This is my first post. Despite running Ad-aware constantly, having a pop-up blocker installed and Norton Antivirus active, I am constantly getting Malware. My post is three-fold.

First, I want to make sure all the "reminants" are removed (i.e. I deleted Media Gateway and see that it is still in the HijackThis log) What should I do to follow-up?
Here is a summary of what I have done for reminant review:
Media Gateway--deleted the directory manually
180searchassistant--deleted the directory manually
ProSiteFinder--deleted the directory manually

Second, I am getting media.adrevolver.com popups and Poker sites pop-ups dispite attempt to remove it with Ad-aware and Norton. I have run "Clean-up" and was unhappy that it deleted some files in my temp directory--oops... And I have run Ad-aware SE, a couple of times. Suggestions? Attached is my log...

Lastly, I would like advice on how to prevent these from slipping thru my pop-up blocker, my firewall (I think I have one) and my virus protection. Is my software not powerful enough?

I appreciate any help!

Chris

Hi ck-man and Welcome to GeekstoGo!

Atribune has been nice enough to design a fix for the particular infection you have!

There will be some leftovers to contend with but these Instructions should eliminate the primary infection!


You have a Haxdoor Backdoor Trojan which requires some tools to get rid of.
  • First, download HDFix from here
  • After it is downloaded, create a new folder on your desktop called "HDFix" and extract all the files into the newly created folder.
  • Next, download CleanUp! Install it, but do not run it yet.
  • Boot 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.
  • Locate the HDFix folder on your desktop, open it, and double-click "hdfix.bat"
  • A log will be produced which you can close out of.
  • Then run HijackThis again, close any open windows and browsers and fix these:
    HJT items here
  • Run CleanUp! and let it clean your computer of temp files. Decline when it asks you to log off.
  • Restart your computer into normal mode and run at least one of the following free, online virus scans:
    http://housecall.tre.../start_corp.asp
    http://www.pandasoft...n_principal.htm
    http://www3.ca.com/t...sinfo/scan.aspx
  • Restart your computer one last time and post a new HijackThis log, as well as the HSFix log which is located at C:/hslog.txt

No success! :tazz:

The HDFix bat deleted something required for my computer to start up.

I ran the bat file and answered Y to a prompt to access the directory (system 32, I think) the command line keep reading "access denied" for several of the items.

The log generated the txt file you mentioned. When I exited the menu, my screen was black except for the "safe mode" labels.

I had no desktop or any way of running Hijack this. I had not option but to re-boot. I tried rebooting in safe mode again. Once I selected the safemode option I got an error indicated:

"windows root > \system32\hal.dll" was either missing or corrupt and should be installed.

I tried rebooting in normal mode and got the same error message.

I didn't make a boot disc and will see if I that helps at least get me onto the computer.

Your quick reply is appreciated as now I have to use another computer to communicate.
