Hello all,

As so many of you on here, I'm experiencing problems with all the spyware/pop-up/etc. junk. I've seen WinFixer, Aurora, and VX2. I'm sure there's more. I've followed all the directions in the "read before you post...." thread and completed all those steps. Here's my logs....any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello and welcome!

Please print these instructions out, or write them down, as you can't read them during the fix. Be sure to ask any questions before proceeding the fix.

First;

Please download Ewido Security Suite it is a free version of the program.

• Install Ewido Security Suite
• When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
  • Install background guard
  • Install scan via context menu
• Launch Ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
• The program will now open to the main screen.
• When you run Ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!" Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
  
• You will need to update Ewido to the latest definition files.
  • On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
  • Then click on Start Update.
• The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
  (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful")
• Exit Ewido. DO NOT run a scan yet.

If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido.
ewido manual updates

Download CCleaner and install it, but do not run it yet.

Please download this file: Revised Installer for the Nailfix Utility
Save it to your desktop.
DO NOT run it yet.

To reboot into Safe Mode with Windows XP, you can follow these steps from Microsoft;

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.

Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on Nailfix.exe.
Click "Next" in the setup, then make sure "Run Nailfix" is checked and click "Finish".
Your desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

Now open Ewido and do a scan of your system.

• Click on scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• Clean anything it finds.
• Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
• Click Save report.
• Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.

Close Ewido.

Now run HijackThis, click Scan, check the following objects for removal;

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iwpovu] c:\winnt\system32\lcvsgo.exe r

Close any other open windows and/or open browsers, making sure that only HiJackThis is running at that time. Make sure that the above mentioned objects are all checked, then hit "Fix Checked". Exit HJT.
NOTE; The 04 entry may have changed names if you have rebooted since posting the log; look for an entry with a similar format, that will always in in a single letter r.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following file and delete if present;
c:\winnt\system32\lcvsgo.exe (Or whatever the name has changed into - it must be named as the 04 when fixed in HJT.)

Now run CCleaner.

• Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
• If running Firefox: click on the "Applications" tab and uncheck "Cookies" under "Firefox".
• Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.

REBOOT!!
Boot up into normal mode, run a new scan with HiJackThis & post the fresh log here along with the log from Ewido using Add Reply.

Okay.....here are my new logs. I still see Winfixer so I think I need to get that off here somehow. I also didn't see the "04-HKLM....file" when I was in HijackThis....or any other file with an "r" at the end.

Guess you didn't notice, Metallica. 

Thanks so much for your help....I didn't see your reply until I was 1/2 through Rawe's directions.

You guys are the best....so quick to respond and so helpful. I really appreciate it!

[Rawe]

Hi again!

• Unzip and EXTRACT the files to your Desktop.

• On your Desktop, click on Cleanup40.exe icon.
• Then, click RUN and place a checkmark beside "I Agree"
• Then click NEXT followed by START and OK.
• A window will appear with many choices, keep all the defaults as set when the Slide Bar to the left is set to Standard Quality.
• Click OK
• DO NOT RUN IT YET

Hi again. Run HiJackThis and check the following objects for removal;

O15 - ProtocolDefaults: 'http' protocol is in Trusted Zone, should be Internet Zone
O15 - ProtocolDefaults: 'https' protocol is in Trusted Zone, should be Internet Zone

Close ANY other open windows and/or open browsers, and hit "Fix Checked".

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.

Locate the following folders & delete them if exists;

C:\Program Files\WinFixer 2005\wfx5.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\qfmu\qfmum.exe
C:\Program Files\stao\

Run CleanUp! and reboot.

Boot up into normal mode, run this online scan & let it fix anything it can;
Panda Activescan

Post it's results here along with a fresh HijackThis log.

[djroygbiv]

Quick question Rawe:

I don't have this file:

C:\Program Files\WinFixer 2005\wfx5.exe

BUT, I do have a whole folder full of a bunch of stuff at the 1st part of that path here:

C:\Program Files\Win Fixer 2005

Should I delete the whole folder?

[Rawe]

Yes, delete the whole folder.

[djroygbiv]

Ok...all set.

Here's the Panda Scan Results:

[Rawe]

Your log is clean.

Here's some tips for future to prevent spyware;

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. (My favourite)
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer 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 Kaspersky, 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.

And also see TonyKlein's good advice;
So how did I get infected in the first place? (My favourite)

Make sure you updated your Windows with Microsoft updates frequently, and take a read to the links I gave.

Thank you SO much Rawe for all your help today.

I'd def save those links and go through those materials
