Please download "Service Filter" from here:

http://www.geekstogo...=download&id=41

Unzip the contents of the .zip file to a convenient location and follow the instructions below.


Double Click ServiceFilter.vbs to run it.

If you have a script blocking program you will get a warning asking if you want to allow ServiceFilter.vbs to run, some will say "malicious script warning" or something to that effect. There is nothing malicious about this script, you can click to allow it to execute.

When the script finishes a wordpad doc should open with the unknown services listed in it. If the script could not access wordpad then you will see a message box telling you so, in that case you need to open POST_THIS.TXT by double clicking it. . Paste the contents back here.

From the moment you post your list, until you see a detailed fix written up, DO NOT reboot your system or log off. If you do, the service will have changed and the fix provided will not work

Please download "Del Domain" from here:

http://www.geekstogo...=download&id=40

Download it to your desktop or somewhere you will find it. Extract the .inf file from the .zip file you just downloaded. Now right click "Deldomains.inf" and click "Install". It will not appear to have done anything, thats ok. Next step.

You may want to print out these directions as the Internet will not be available. Please continue with the next step if you run into a problem with the current one. Just be sure to let us know what the problem was when you reply.

Please make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

http://www.bleepingc...showtutorial=62

Reboot into safe mode (continually tap the F8 key while your system is starting, select Safe Mode from the menu) and follow these steps:

Step 1:

Click on start, then control panel, then administrative programs, then services. Look for a service called Workstation NetLogon Service. Double click on the that service and click stop and then set the startup to disabled. Also write down the name and path of the file listed in the Path to executable field. This filename must be deleted below.

Step 2:

Press control-alt-delete to get into the task manager and end the follow processes if they exist:

tibs3.exe
ipfe32.exe

Step 3:
I now need you to delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\tibs3.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ipfe32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\qoogs.dll
C:\WINDOWS\winpj32.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GMT <<< folder
c:\program files\altnet <<<folder

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. if it is uncheck it and try again.

Step 4:
Then close all programs and windows and run hijackthis. Put a checkmark next to each of these entries and press the fix button when ready:

Step 5:

In the next step we are going to remove a service that gets installed by this malware.

Go to Start>Run and type regedit.

Press enter.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\�%AF夶À¨
If �%AF夶À¨ exists , right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

Now navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_�%AF夶À¨

If LEGACY_�%AF夶À¨ exists then right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

If you have trouble deleting a key. Then click once on the key name to highlight it and click on the Permission menu option under Security or Edit. Then Uncheck "Allow inheritible permissions" and press copy. Then click on everyone and put a checkmark in "full control". Then press apply and ok and attempt to delete the key again.

Step 6:

This is the step where we will use About:Buster that you had downloaded previously.

Navigate to the c:\aboutbuster directory and double-click on aboutbuster.exe When the tool is open press the OK button, then the Start button, then the OK button, and then finally the Yes button. It will start scanning your computer for files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.

When it completed move on to step 7.

Step 7:

Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad.
Name the file as fix.reg
Change the Save as Type to All Files
Save this file on the desktop

REGEDIT4


[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HSA]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SE]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SW]

Then double-click on the fix.reg file, and when it prompts to merge say yes, and this will clear some registry entries left behind by the process.

Step 8:
Reboot your computer back to normal mode so that we can see if we need to restore some deleted files:

Download the Hoster from here:
http://members.aol.c...dbee/hoster.zip

Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program. This will restore the original deleted Hosts file.

If you have Spybot S&D installed you will also need to replace one file. Go here:
http://www.spywarein...s.html#sdhelper

Download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing you Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy). Then click Start ,Run, type regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDHelper.dll" and press the OK button.

If you are using Windows 95, 98, or ME it is possible that the malware deleted your control.exe. Please check for the existence of this file by going to to:
http://www.spywarein...es.html#control
Examine where the file should be for your operating system. If the file is missing then download the appropriate file and place it in the proper place according to this information.

Open IE, go to Tools>Internet Options>then click on the security tab, then click on custon label. Check the following settings:

Download Signed ActiveX controls-set to Prompt.
Download Un-Signed ActiveX controls-set to Disable.
Initialize and script ActiveX controls marked as unsafe-set to disable.

Step 9:

Run an online antivirus scan at:

http://housecall.antivirus.com/

Reboot and post a new Hijack This log.

my hijack log.

It seems ok now, thank you very much. Going to download the above stuff now.
Tell you, wish I were in Hawaii right now, I went Maui when I was 13, but still, it's just been drizzly, misty rain here for 3 days now.
Thank you very much.

Remove this one with Hijack This and post a new log.

You should be clean now. So everything seems to be working good?

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use) Click Here.

Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.

It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend FireFox .
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder if everything is working okay.

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats.
