I have Run A-Squared and Spyware Doctor, and they have helped greatly, fixed the homepage jacker and the desktop, but PS Gaurd just doesn't seem to favor dieing, it still pops up every now and then. And my computer is very slow until a certain PS Gaurd pop up appears, and is closed, and the PS Gaurd icon appears as a desktop item also a little ( ! ) icon appears in the lower right of my taskbar everynow and then , and says (Your Computer is Infected) each time i run a spyware Doctor or A-Squared scan, it dissappears tho. I beleive i have most of it tackled, but need help completely purging my computer of this little meanie =/.

Here is my HiJackThis log:

Hi pgb and welcome to the Geeks to Go Forums.

My name is Trevuren and I will be helping you with your log.

1. Go to Geeks to Go
. Click on My Controls at the top right hand corner of the window. (make sure you have signed in first)
. In the left hand column, click "View Topics"
. If you click on the title of your post, you will be taken there

2. Also, while at the My Controls page, check the box to the right of your post and then scroll down.
.Where it says "unsubscribe" click the pull-down menu and select "immediate email notification"


3. Before we tackle PSGuard, we must handle a gigger problem, an About:blank infection

4. Your system has an About:Blank infection as well as other less serious infections.

1. Download the stand alone version of CWShredder

• Save the program to your Desktop
• Click on the CWShredder icon, then on the RUN button
• Click on "Check for Updates"
• Once the program is updated, close it until needed. DO NOT USE IT NOW

2. If you do not have a zip program please download and install the evaluation version of Winzip.

3. Download SpSeHjfix.zip to the desktop.

• Then right click on the desktop and select new >folder, name it spfix.
  
• Unzip SpSeHjfix.zip into the new folder.

4. Disconnect from the net and Close ALL OPEN PROGRAMS.

5. Run 'SpSeHjfix'. and click on "Start Disinfection".

When it's finished it will reboot your machine to finish the cleaning process.
The tool creates a log of the fix which will appear in the folder.

If it doesn't find any of the SE files or any hidden reinstallers it will say system clean and not go on to next stage

6. Once it is finished run CWShredder - Hit The FIX button!

7. Reboot and post a new HJT log and the log that was created by 'SpSeHjfix'.

Warning Note: On a few occasions it has been reported that after using the SPSEHjfix you cannot open Internet Explorer. To fix this, go into Control Panel >Internet Options >Programs & press reset web settings, then you can set your home page to what you want on the general tab.

Regards,

Trevuren

Okay, I followed the steps, and it didn't find anything so I guess the previous scans from Spyware Doctor and A-Squared solved it?

Thank You for Helping

[Trevuren]

We have to do this again. If we are not successful, we will have to do it manually.

1. Download SpSeHjfix for 95/98/ME from here:
http://www.trojaner-...file=sphjfix109

2. Download and install http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.php

3. Reboot into safe Mode. To do this, press the F8 key repeatedly as the computer starts up until you see a menu screen (if Windows starts normally, restart it again). Use the arrow keys to highlight "Safe Mode" and press Enter.

4. Run Ccleaner.

5. In safe mode doubleclick SpSeHjfix.exe and click " Desinfektion starten", than the tool will restart the computer.

6. Please post the SpSeHjfix logfile and a HijackThis log to check.

I also forgot to add, that after i had the infection, I panicked and attempted a system roestore, creating a restore point, and I beleive it saved the trojans as well, so I beleive I might need to delete this restore point, problem is it always says i cannot acces it because it is in use....

Thanks For helping

Please try this, I don't expect it to work but none of the fixes appear to work on your machine.

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

We need to make sure all hidden files are showing so please:
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View Tab.
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.
* Click Start, Programs and Accessories and open Windows Explorer.
* Select a hard drive from the left hand side of the Windows Explorer window.
* Select View the Entire contents of this drive


Please RUN HijackThis.
. Click the SCAN button to produce a log.

Place a check mark beside each one of the following items:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\se.dll/space.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.juno.com/
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\se.dll/space.html


Now with all the items selected and all windows closed except for HJT, delete them by clicking the FIX checked button. Close the HijackThis window and Reboot Your System in Safe Mode

How to Start To Safe Mode Using the F8 method in Windows 98/98SE/ME

To start your computer in Safe Mode:
*turn the computer on
*as the computer restarts, press and hold down the Ctrl key until the Windows 98 startup menu appears. (This also works with the F8 key following the same steps)
*Choose Safe mode from the startup menu,
*press Enter
*Windows starts in Safe mode.
*Restart your computer when finished troubleshooting

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders (with all their content), and DELETE them (if they are present):

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\se.dll

Exit Explorer, and REBOOT BACK INTO NORMAL MODE

Finally, RUN Hijackthis again and produce a new HJT log. Post it in the forum so we can check how everything looks now.

After Running the HJT log, only
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.juno.com/
Appeared, and I don't want to mess up, since the others were not found running, the se.dll files, I don't want to proceed till I know for sure also i don't quite understand what you mean when after i select the harddrive to veiw entire contents, i did the folder options, if thats what it meant, i beleive it is

[Trevuren]

Sorry, I don't understand your question.

Please post a fresh HJT log for review.


Thanks,

Trevuren

[Trevuren]

Did you have Juno there at one time?

• Download the following self-extracting file smitRem.exe and save the file to your DESKTOP.
  • Double click the Smitrem.exe icon on your Desktop.
  • Then click Run>Start and a Smitrem folder will apear on your desktop also.
• REBOOT your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
• Open the smitRem folder
  • Double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool.
  • Follow the prompts on screen.
  • Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
  • It will produce a log called smitfiles.txt log
• REBOOT your system into Normal Mode
  
  
• Post the contents of the smitfiles.txt log into this thread as well as a fresh HJT log
