[computerheadaches]

Hi! I just want to thank you in advance for your assistance, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

Yesterday, I turned on my computer, and when I clicked on internet explorer, a popup came up, advertising "winfix 2005." I tried to close it by clicking "X" but instead I was linked to another winfix page that tried to download something; service pack 2 stopped it. I closed the web pages through the task manager. Today, the same thing happened, although "winantivirus" and "www.trafficexplorer.com" also popped up.

I've run the most recent versions of symantec client security, spybot search and destroy, spysweeper, and adaware, in safe mode. All of them came back clean. Yet, the problem has not ceased.

Here is my HJT Log:

Your system is infected by the VUNDO trojan

• Download VundoFix.zip to your desktop.
  • Double-click VundoFix.zip and extract it to your C:\ directory.
• Copy the instructions below and paste them into Notepad for reference.
  • All other windows need to be closed while doing this fix!
• Navigate to the new folder C:\VundoFix
  
  
• Double click on KillVundo.bat
  • When it starts running it will tell you that you need an active internet connection then ask you to press any key once you do.
• Please press any key to continue.
  
  
• Wait for HiJackThis to open.
  
  
• When HiJackThis opens, click Do a system scan only. Place a check next to the following items, if found:
  
  O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {827DC836-DD9F-4A68-A602-5812EB50A834} - C:\WINDOWS\repair\expanti.dll
  O20 - Winlogon Notify: expanti - C:\WINDOWS\repair\expanti.dll
  
  
  
• Once they all have a check next to them, click the FIX CHECKED button, then EXIT HiJackThis.
  
  
• You will once again be prompted to press any key.
  
  (Upon doing so this time, you will receive a "Blue Screen Of Death". Don't worry, this is normal! Let the computer reboot. If it doesn't boot straight to windows, manually turn the computer off and then back on.)
  
  
• Once the computer is rebooted post a new HiJackThis log as well as the contents of vundofix.txt which can be found in this folder: C:\VundoFix

Your log looks good. If you have no more malware-related problems that you are aware of, just give me the OK and we can start the final but essential cleanup procedures.

[computerheadaches]

Thankfully I don't have any other problems. If there's anything else I should do, let me know.

Once again, thanks so much!!! I am so grateful!!

[Trevuren]

Congratulations, your log shows that your SYSTEM IS CLEAN

There are a few things you must do once you are completely clean:

1. Re-hide your System Files and Folders to prevent any future accidents.

2. Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files from the backup that Windows makes as no program is able to clean those files:

TO DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE

• Right-click "My Computer", and then left click "Properties".
• Left click on "System Restore Tab"
• Check box beside "Turn Off System Restore"
• Left click on "Apply"

TO ENABLE SYSTEM RESTORE

• Remove check mark from "Turn Off System Restore"
• Click on "Apply"

Here are some tips to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future:

Make sure you keep your Windows OS current by visiting Windows update
regularly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. With out these you are leaving the backdoor open.

I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
• 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.

To protect yourself further:

• 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.

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

Regards,

Trevuren

[computerheadaches]

thanks!!!
