[pierson]

I have been trying to update my computer following the steps you have provided on your site but cannot get broswer to clear up. I have gotten as far as the second step but my computer won't let me install the personal malware version. When I click on IE, I get the anetwork.com etc information and immediately get the error message and Send or Don't Send popup. I don't know what else to do. I have done the winfixer for XP to no avail. I also have tried to install IE SP2 but was unsuccessfully and I thought I created even more of a problem. HELP PLEASE.

Hello, pierson, my name is Guse and I'll be helping you on this one.

First things first, I need you to give me a log from HijackThis. You can download that here

Run the installer, then find and run the program. Save a log, copy the log to the clipboard and paste it in a reply to this thread.

If you cant get there from the infected computer, but have access to another, HijackThis is small enough to be transferred on a floppy drive. Just make sure that you DON'T ATTEMPT to run the program from the floppy.

Good luck

Quick question, then I'll get started on your fix.

Can you zip the following file and send it to me?

C:\WINDOWS\System32\intpis.exe

Send it to g2g_guse [at] comcast [dot] net.

Thanks...

[Guse]

Wow... where do we start? Let's get rid of one of your major infections real quick, then we'll continue on from there.

Important: don't begin this fix until you email me that file, please.

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

• 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 scan yet.

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

Download CleanUp
Install the program, dont run it yet, we will later.

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

Download dsrfix.zip
Save it to your desktop.

• Unzip dsrfix.zip and extract it to your desktop.
• This will create a new folder on your desktop named dsrfix.
• Do Not open that folder yet.

Please download APT and unzip the contents to a new folder on your desktop.

• Open the folder you just created and click on apt.exe and search in the window for C:\WINDOWS\System32\syqnac.exe.
• Open your C:\Windows\system32 folder and search for syqnac.exe.
  Don't delete it yet, just leave the system32 folder open so you can see the bad file.
• In APT again, Select C:\WINDOWS\System32\syqnac.exe and Click Kill3
  
• Then immediately delete syqnac.exe from your system32 folder.

Close APT.

To reboot into SafeMode with Windows XP, you can follow these steps from Microsoft:

Next, please 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, start tapping press F8 key.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
• 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.
• You will be prompted to clean the first infection.
• Select "Perform action on all infections", then proceed.
• Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
