I can understand your dislike of windows Me! (I'm beginning to hate my entire laptop and everything on it now).

I've deleted the contents of C:\_RESTORE\TEMP as you directed - this folder was still empty after rebooting (hooray?)

I then ran some scans in safe mode...

Spybot - Trek Blue Error Nuker - Fixed
CWS - Clean - No Action
AdAware - 1 critical object, 7 negligible; MRU list (x7) and Tracking cookie/data miner ([email protected]) - Fixed
TrojanHunter - Clean - No Action
CleanUp! - Removed 243MB of temporary internet and temporary windows files

At this point I noticed that web content on my active desktop was disabled - I think this may have been the case during your earlier instructions - sorry not to mention this earlier if it was important? ;) Web content is now enabled.

I next ran SpySweeper in normal mode - nothing detected - 1st time I've got the all clear from this scan :tazz: Unfortunately, I now seem unable to run HJT!? When I try to open the program I get 'Unexpected error' messages. I downloaded a new copy but encountered the same problem. I also ran the IE6 auto-repair tool (from add/remove programs menu) in case it made any difference.

Smitfiles still shows up clean. I'll run a panda scan later and post this ASAP. Is there anything I can do in the meantime? (before I get home to my dial-up connection).

Many thanks for your help :)

Do you have Active Desktop enabled though? If not, right click on your Desktop and choose to enable active desktop. It's not needed though unless you use that feature - if you have no idea what it is, then you don't need it :tazz:

Can you give me the exact error message when you ran HJT?

How about the Panda scan? Did you run that see if it found anything? That was the major reason I asked you to go through all of this to delete those restore points. Make sure you can enable system restore again. If not, you might want to ask this question in the Windows Forum.

Hi Again, I just finished another Panda scan and received an error message about half way through:

Ltsmmsg has caused an error in SSI.DLL
Ltsmmsg will now close
If you continue to experience problems try restarting your computer

Panda scan froze on this file when the error popped up:
C:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS815.CAB[CHANGE.LOG]
After this the scan continued to run despite the error and didn't detect anything (just a couple of 'suspicious' files - these were only components of TrojanHunter and 'The Cleaner' anti-spyware).

HJT still refuses to run, it only says 'Unexpected error' - no clues I'm afraid!
I've posted the system restore problem on the windows forum but no answers yet. Also haven't received my Windows Me CD yet (the UK postal service isn't that great!) so I haven't been able to locate the wininet.dll file yet.

Thanks for your help!

That error message seems to be related to your modem. Are you on dialup?

OK, for HJT, see if you can download and run the older version:

I downloaded the old version of HJT as you suggested but it still wouldn't run :tazz: I am using dialup - is this a bad thing?

Thanks

OK. Boot into Safe Mode. Run Ad-aware and Spybot again - fix what they find. Next run CleanUp and delete ALL the HijackThis.exe programs you have (both new and old). Leave the backups folder alone though :tazz:

Now restart your computer. Download HijackThis again and try running it.

Just want to know the status. Is PSGuard and other spyware/malware issues gone now?

Still no luck with HJT I'm afraid :tazz:
I booted into safe mode, ran AdAware, Spybot and CleanUp!, then deleted all my previous HJT.exe files (didn't see any backups folder though?!)...

AdAware
8 critical objects = 1 registry key, 7 registry values (all Alexa)
4 negligible objects = MRU list (x 4)

Spybot
No threats detected

CleanUp!
Deleted about 220Mb of temporary files

HJT still won't run, but on the positive side, my system restore problem seems to have resolved itself after a number of reboots (I didn't alter anything - the 'disable' box unchecked itself - could anti-spyware tools have done this?)

All my other virus/malware scans are coming back clean. Will the wininet.dll file on the windows Me CD fix my remaining problems and get HJT running again?

I don't think any antispyware program could have altered your system restore settings - not that I'm aware of at least.

Not sure if it will fix the remaining problems if you restore that wininet.dll file, but it's a critical file. Remaining problems? What other problems do you have now?

Do a search for msdirectx.sys and see where it's located (if it exists at all?). My guess is either in Windows or System32 folder. So if that's the case, do this:

Download KillBox http://www.greyknigh...spy/KillBox.exe. Run KillBox and check the box that says 'End Explorer Shell While Killing File'. Next click on 'Delete on Reboot'. Copy the below files and go back to KillBox. Go to File->Paste from Clipboard and then hit the button with a red circle and white X. Confirm to delete and when asked if you want to reboot, say Yes:

c:\windows\system\msdirectx.sys
c:\windows\msdirectx.sys


Once that restarts (or if it gives you a Pending Operations error, restart manually then), see if you can run HijackThis.

If still no, then do a search for win.ini and double click on that file. Post the contents of that file here.

Hi greyknight, I've just worked through some steps with Keith on the windows forum and got things running a bit quicker. I ran 'scanreg /restore' and it seems to have sorted out my windows problems! ;) (restored to the day before my PSguard infection started). Everything appears to be running at normal speed and my IE shortcuts are working again! (after ceasing to work temporarily yesterday - is this linked to my HJT/modem problem?)

The restored registry contained a lot of malware entries but I've removed these with AdAware (in safe mode) - I think we deleted the spyware program files associated with these already, before the restore, will this be enough to protect me from re-infection?!

I have one mystery folder on the C: drive now...
!Submit (contains contmenu.dll and WININET.DLL)
I already have a copy of wininet.dll in my windows>system folder, do I need this !Submit folder? (I'm a bit suspicious of this as I don't remember seeing it before now?). One remaining problem - HijackThis still won't run!

Thanks for all your help, I think I'm finally begining to get on top of things :tazz:

Couldn't find msdirectx.sys anywhere. Here's my win.ini files...

That !submit folder is created by KillBox as a backup just in case you deleted a file by mistake. If all is well here, we may delete it at the end.

I'm not sure about the HJT problem. Can you run it in Safe Mode? How about if you rename it to something like HJTold.exe and run it?

I've just finished trying all the tactics you suggested - no success unfortunately. I still can't get HJT to run and I'd like to be sure that I'm rid of the spyware for good (I'm not intending to use my laptop on the internet again after this!)

Would another panda scan be thorough enough to ensure that I'm rid of PSguard now? (everything seems to be running OK - but this malware incident has made me a little paranoid!)

Failing that, I don't know if you have any new ideas on how to get HJT to work properly? Thanks for your help through all this, you've already saved my laptop from the scrapheap, but a little reassurance would be nice to round things off! A nice clean HJT log would be ideal, but I still get 'Unexpected error' when it tries to boot.

Many thanks

Boot into Safe Mode and try running smitRem again. Restart and post that log here. See if you can run HijackThis. If not, I will ask other staff members to see if they saw this before.

It doesn't look like there's any answers here :tazz:
HJT still won't run either in safe or normal modes. I also tried to run another panda scan this morning but kept getting error messages (an activeX problem? - I altered my security settings and rebooted - panda scan still wouldn't run).

The windows registry restore fixed all my windows performance problems, but I don't understand why this would have interfered with HJT.
Thanks for all your help so far!

OK, download bothlog and run it. Then follow the instructions here on how to post the bothlog file. Post it here when ready.

Sorry, no luck here either!

I downloaded ht.bat and followed the instructions provided but it never runs to completion:

How to.
Wait for this Window to close.
.......
Then close the Hijackthis.log you will see on the screen.
Post the contents of both.log on the Forums.

I've run the ht.bat file a couple of times but never get past the message above. (Tried double-clicking the ht.bat icon in windows and also navigated to it manually via DOS-prompt but with the same result each time).

In the task and title bars, the text flashes between MS-DOS prompt and 'PING'? I also get the 'Unexpected error' message from HJT pop-up in the background.

Thanks for your persistence with this problem (greatly appreciated!)
