Good job. Much better.
will be right back with a fix.

I want you to make an informed decision about trusted zones. This is from www.bleepingcomputer.com

This section corresponds to sites or IP addresses in the Internet Explorer Trusted Zone.

Internet Explorer's security is based upon a set of zones. Each zone has different security in terms of what scripts and applications can be run from a site that is in that zone. There is a security zone called the Trusted Zone. This zone has the lowest security and allows scripts and applications from sites in this zone to run without your knowledge. It is therefore a popular setting for malware sites to use so that future infections can be easily done on your computer without your knowledge as these sites will be in the Trusted Zone..

Which key, Domains or Ranges, is used by Internet Explorer is determined by the URL that the user is trying to reach. If the URL contains a domain name then it will search in the Domains subkeys for a match. If it contains an IP address it will search the Ranges subkeys for a match. When domains are added as a Trusted Site or Restricted they are assigned a value to signify that. If they are assigned a *=4 value, that domain will be entered into the Restricted Sites zone. If they are given a *=2 value, then that domain will be added to the Trusted Sites zone.

Adding an IP address works a bit differently. Under the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges key you may find other keys called Ranges1, Ranges2, Ranges3, Ranges4,... Each of these subkeys correspond to a particular security zone/protocol. If you add an IP address to a security zone, Windows will create a subkey starting with Ranges1 and designate that subkey as the one that will contain all IP addresses of a particular security zone for a particular protocol. For example, if you added http://192.168.1.1 as a trusted sites, Windows would create the first available Ranges key (Ranges1) and add a value of http=2. Any future trusted http:// IP addresses will be added to the Range1 key. Now if you added an IP address to the Restricted sites using the http protocol (ie. http://192.16.1.10), Windows would create another key in sequential order, called Range2. This would have a value of http=4 and any future IP addresses added to the restricted sites will be placed in that key. This continues on for each protocol and security zone setting combination.

If you ever see any domains or IP addresses listed here you should generally remove it unless it is a recognizable URL such as one your company uses. The most common listing you will find here are free.aol.com which you can have fixed if you want. I personally remove all entries from the Trusted Zone as they are ultimately unnecessary to be there.

You may wish to print out a copy of these instructions to follow while you complete this procedure.

Please save Hijack This in a permanent folder (i.e. C:\HJT). This ensures backups are saved and accessible.

Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

O1 - Hosts: tscape.com

O15 - Trusted Zone: *.musicmatch.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.musicmatch.com (HKLM)

And this is up to you, but we have had so much trouble with your machine, I would put a check mark in all of the 016s. They all look safe, but it would be nice to get them all cleaned up. A lot of people would disagree and you can keep them. They will be downloaded quite easily the next time you play those games.

The following are not necessarily spyware/malware, but we suggest you place a check mark next to the following entries, as these programs may be taking up system resources.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HotKeysCmds] C:\WINDOWS\System32\hkcmd.exe
(Description: Intel hotkey applet. Unnecessary. Removing this will free up a small amount of system resources.)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RealTray] C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe SYSTEMBOOTHIDEPLAYER
(Description: RealPlayer system tray application. Not necessary. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources.)

O4 - Global Startup: America Online 9.0 Tray Icon.lnk = C:\Program Files\America Online 9.0\aoltray.exe
(Description: AOL system tray icon. Not necessary. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources.)

Please reboot into safe mode (continually tap the F8 key while your system is starting, select Safe Mode from the menu).
Be sure you're able to view hidden files, and remove the following files (if found):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\kokovi.exe

Clean out your temp. files and reboot and post a fresh log.

I'm going to check with Metallica on something also. I'll be right back.

oops.. forgot to tell you... when I tried to delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\kokovi.exe it said access denied. I went ahead and cleaned out temp files and did another search. Then it said the file was not found, however I see it's still listed in the hijack log.

[coachwife6]

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Right-click on this file and tell me what it says:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\kokovi.exe

[brokeanddumb]

Ok... I couldn't find the file by doing a search, but I found it and opened it using notepad. I deleted it (hopefully) that way and ran another log.

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(Windows XP)
1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

REboot. into safe mode.

Find the file and delete it. Empty your temp. files again.

Reboot and run another log.

When the fix is complete, this is how to turn on system restore.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Ok, I turned off system restore, restarted in safe mode, and was able to find the file again. It still tells me it cannot be deleted and to make sure it's not in use or write protected. Yet, when I try to search for it again, it says file not found. Here's the new log again.

OK. Hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and it will call up your task manager. See if it's in the running processes and if it is, end it. Then try and delete it.

But before you do all that, have you been able to right-click on it and tell me what the properties are.

Hi coachwife6,

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Qoologic

brokeanddumb,

• Download finditnt2000xp.zip.
• Unzip the contents of finditnt2000xp.zip to a convenient location.
• Navigate to the Find It NT-2K-XP folder and double-click on find.bat.
• A command prompt will open and it will search your computer for malicious files.
• Once it has finished a Notepad window will pop up with output.txt.
• Copy the entire contents of output.txt into your next post.

Regards,

Pieter

Broke and Dumb:

You've done great so far and you need to stick with GTG for the long haul. I've ridden this horse as far as it will go.

I'm handing you off to Metallica or Admin. on this one. They are two of the best in the biz. You're in great hands. I'll keep checking back on you and watching the progress.

Hang in there.

[Metallica]

Can you surf to http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus and upload C:\WINDOWS\system32\kokovi.exe there.

Let us know the results.

I have a gut feeling, but I'd like to proceed on facts, after that last post.

No need to go modest cw6.

Regards,

Pieter
