I was hit with WinFixer the other day. Since then, I have run AdAware, SpyBot SD, Cleanup, Ewido Security Suite, and heaven knows what else. The only thing I see in My hijackThis log that seems funny is the vtsrr.dll. I'm not sure what that is.

I appreciate any help.

Oh, and another thing. I notice in the task manager that approximately every 4 seconds, my system task jumps to about 13% momentarily then back to 0 even when I'm doing nothing. I don't remember this happening before.

Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad and welcome to GeeksToGo! My name is Excal and I will be helping you

Winfixer is a rogue system cleaner that trys to install it self on your computer then make you buy it...

Please 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\system32\vtsrr.dll
  O20 - Winlogon Notify: vtsrr - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtsrr.dll
  
• Once they all have a check next to them, click the FIX CHECKED button, then close 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

[avantsbs]

So far so good. No more browser hijacking for now. My system tasks still fluctuates...maybe that is normal...I'm not sure. Anyway, here are my logs:

So what do you think?

[Excal]

Hows everything running, look alot better now.



Excal

[avantsbs]

Everything seems back to normal. Thanks a lot. You are awesome! I really do appreciate it.

[Excal]

Great job, it appears your computer is clean


Now that your system is Malware Free, it is important to reset your system Restore. Click Here to learn how to.

I recommend that you Defrag your computer before setting your Restore points:

Go to start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Defragmentor Make sure it set to the proper drive (default should be your main driver) and click on defragment


Might I suggest the following Free Spyware programs, if you don't already have them, for added security, you can download them at the following links. These programs work great for detection:

Ad-aware SE
Spybot S&D
Microsoft Anti-Spyware


If you are unhappy with your current antivirus and want to replace it or if you dont already have one, I suggest one of these free programs:
*Note - do not use more than one anti-virus program as it will more than likely cause conflict.

AVG
Avast
AntiVir


The following free programs are great for prevention:

SpywareBlaster 3.4
Spywareguard
IE/Spyad

A Firewall is a must! Here are 3 good free versions:
(do not have more than one firewall running on your system)

Sygate
Kerio
ZoneLabs

There are other options other than Internet Explorer for a browser, which some say have better security. Two of them are:

Firefox
Opera

If you decide to keep Internet Explorer, This site is a great source for tightening up security on It's settings.

Make sure that you keep your Operating System and IE updated with the latest Critical Security Updates from Microsoft...they usually come out once a month, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

Be sure and give the Temp folders a cleaning out now and then as well, Make sure after you clean your Temp files to empty out your Recycle bin as well.
For ease use the following program:

Cleanup
Run "Cleanup" and when it has finished, Reboot

To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided. Also read How I got Infected
