ok been following the instructions but have come across a few problems which i've listed below!


1) killbox is telling me that the file C:\WINDOWS\System32\angelex.exe does not exist. this is possibly due to after me posting my hijack this list a friend of mine had look and may well of deleted it.

2) i am unable to run my computer in safe mode as every time i try it resets itself before i can enter my password.


anymore ideas, thanks for the help so far

Edited by tage, 16 November 2005 - 10:03 AM.

Remove the c:\windows\1024 folder if it exists.

Reboot to normal mode and post me the entire content of the smitfiles.txt please.

CLEAN!



when you say remove the file, which program should i be using?

[g2i2r4]

Use Windows Explorer to remove the folder 1024.

I'll consult the creator of the tool (the real expert on this infection) and the team to see what to do to remove the infection fully.

[g2i2r4]

Miekiemoes advised us to remove the files and rerun the tool after that. Thank you Miekiemoes

Let's do it:

Download CleanUp!.
If that doesn’t work, use this link.
Here is a tutorial which describes its usage:
http://www.bleepingc...tutorial93.html

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:

• Empty Recycle Bins
• Delete Cookies
• Delete Prefetch files
• Scan local drives for temporary files
• Cleanup! All Users

Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.

Once it's done, press Close. Don't reboot yet.

***

Download the Killbox version 2.0.0.473 .
Unzip it to the desktop

Double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. Place the following lines (complete paths) in bold in the "Full Path of File to Delete" box in Killbox, and click the red button with the white X on it after each

C:\WINDOWS\System32\mssearchnet.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ncompat.tlb
C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvctrl.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mscornet.exe

For these files, put a mark next to "Delete on Reboot". Copy and paste each file into the file name box, then click the red button with the X after each. It will ask you if you want to reboot each time you click it, answer NO until after you've pasted the last file name, at which time you should answer Yes.
Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

***

Rerun runthis.bat and post me the new smitfiles.txt and a fresh HijackThis log to check.

[tage]

windows won't let me delete the file 1024 a message pops up saying "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk"

but ill carry on with your other instructions though

[tage]

right i've followed your instructions and these are my latest logs

Open HijackThis
Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:

O2 - BHO: HomepageBHO - {7caf96a2-c556-460a-988e-76fc7895d284} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\hpCE5C.tmp (file missing)

Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running.
Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Reboot the computer.

Is the computer running ok?
If so, shall I post you some tips for the future and close this topic?
