I have indeed read and followed the steps in the pinned topic in this forum area. And I do greatly appreciate the help that you are about to give. If you have a choice between doing this and going to a picnic with your kids, go to the picnic. ;-)

As noted in the subject line, I have the incresingly common Winfixer problem. I should have known better and got it doing something without sufficient research. Please find my log hijackthis log below. Thanks in advance!

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.

1. Download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.

• Create a folder on your desktop and name it VundoFix.
• Double-click VundoFix.exe to extract the files to this folder.
• After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.
• Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat
• Please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):
  
  
  • C:\WINNT\Fonts\keyvss.dll
  
  
• Press Enter, then press the F6 key, then press Enter one more time to continue with the fix.
• The fix will run then HijackThis will open.
• In HiJackThis, please place a check next to the following items and click FIX CHECKED:
  
  O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {827DC836-DD9F-4A68-A602-5812EB50A834} - C:\WINNT\Fonts\keyvss.dll
  O20 - Winlogon Notify: keyvss - C:\WINNT\Fonts\keyvss.dll
  
  
  
• After you have fixed these items, close Hijackthis and Press any key to Force a reboot of your computer.
• Pressing any key will cause a "Blue Screen of Death" this is normal, do not worry!
• Once your machine reboots please continue with the instructions below.

2. Download and install CleanUp!

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).

Set the program up as follows:

• Click "Options..."
• Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
• Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Cookies
  • Delete Prefetch files
  • Cleanup! All Users
• Click OK
• Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.

It may ask you to reboot at the end, click NO.

3. Then, please run this online virus scan: ActiveScan

4. Copy the results of the ActiveScan and paste them here along with a new HiJackThis log and the vundofix.txt file from the vundofix folder into this topic.

Regards,

Trevuren

[kdfrawg]

Before I paste in the results, please not that the following anomolies occurred during my following of your instructions:

1. vundofix.exe could not find file c:\winnt\fonts\keyvss.dll to delete it.
2. Related to the above, there was no entry in the new hijack log for "O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {827DC836-DD9F-4A68-A602-5812EB50A834} - C:\WINNT\Fonts\keyvss.dll"
3. When running the Cleanup! program, the "Delete Prefetch files" option was grayed out and thus unavailable.

ActiveScan found nothing and produced the following "log":

Detected Disinfected
Virus 0 0
Spyware 0 0
Hacking Tools 0 0
Dialers 0 0
Security Risks 0 0
Suspicious files 0 0

WE GOT IT !!!

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the C:\WINNT\Fonts\ Folder.

2. Locate, and DELETE All files named ssvyek. They will have various extensions, such as:

• ini
• ini1
• ini2
• bak1
• bak2
• and so on.

3. REBOOT your system

4. Finally, run HijackThis, click SCAN, produce a LOG and POST it in this thread for review.

Regards,

Trevuren

Trevuren -

There were four such files, which I deleted.

Thank you very much for your help. I truly appreciate it and am sure that the others that contact this board do as well. Please have a virtual beer/Coke/Scotch/espresso on me.

I did that. The log is below. Again, you are just performing beyond the normal call of duty. After being run around by an incredible number of "tech support" people in my time, it's fantastic to find someone that know what's going on and how to get things done. Thanks again for all that you do.

All went well in HijackPlus. I deleted the folder for the Epson Cardmonitor, something that I have pondered doing every time I have run The Ultimate Troubleshooter. The file EVNttmb.exe was not present. The new log is below. Thanks, thanks, and thanks again!

I took the step that you recommended. The new HijackThis log is below. I have not had any problems since your eamail saying "We got it!" Just as background, I am on a cable system behind a new Linksys 802.11g compact router. I run Adaware daily. I am currently using Norton AntiVirus, but am considering going to Sophos. I spend a LOT of time on the net. Among other things, I design and write Web sites and run a writers forum.

I'm running out of ways to say thank you. ;-) I'll keep trying to invent new and better ones if you keep up the good work.

I am not allowed to endorse one product over another. But I can tell you that I now use Kaspersky which is a workhorse and NOD32 is top-notch. I don't use suites of any kind because there are always some part of the application that is crummy. Most of the programs that I use are free. People do not have to pay much to be perfectly protected.

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. 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.

3. 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)

Trevuren -

I truly appreciate your help. It has been a pleasure working with you to solve my problem quickly, pleasantly, and efficiently. I will look hard at each and very one of your suggestions, and will probably implement them.

It has been a pleasure.

Thank you!
