Aurora Help. [RESOLVED]

Welcome to GTG.

I don't see any signs of Aurora here, but let's do the fix and see what happens.

Please print out the instructions here (or save it in Notepad) so that you can follow along more easily.

Download Ewido Security Suite at http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ and install it. Update to the newest definitions. Do NOT run it yet.

Please download nailfix at http://www.noidea.us...050515010747824 Unzip it to the desktop but do NOT run it yet.

Reboot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key repeatedly until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list). In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work.

Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on nailfix.cmd. Your desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

Next run a full scan in Ewido. Post the log from the Ewido scan here.

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://red.clientapp...://my.yahoo.com
O1 - Hosts: 64.91.255.87 www.dcsresearch.com
O2 - BHO: Band Class - {0007522A-2297-43C1-8EB1-C90B0FF20DA5} - C:\WINDOWS\enhtb.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [P2P Networking] C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe /AUTOSTART
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nzavdus] c:\windows\system32\nzavdus.exe

Close all open windows except for HijackThis and click Fix Checked.

Uninstall these from Add/Remove panel if listed:

Viewpoint
P2P Networking

Messenger Plus - this program contains a 'sponsor' program. If you installed this 'sponsor' program, please uninstall Messenger Plus and reinstall it back but without the sponsor.

Delete these if found:

C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\
C:\WINDOWS\enhtb.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking\
c:\windows\system32\nzavdus.exe

Restart your computer in normal mode and post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

Download FindIt's.zip to your desktop: http://forums.net-in...=post&id=142443

1. Unzip/extract the files inside to a folder on your desktop.
2. Open the folder. Double click on FindIt's.bat and wait for Notepad to open a text file. It will take a while so please be patient ...
3. Then post the results here.

Thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for taking so long to post the results. I was watching Return of the Jedi, heh...

Anyways, I did everything you asked, and my Msg Plus! 3 doesn't have the sponsor program, I specifically installed it without that. Here's the ewido log:

When I'm done with this whole process I started with you, can I uninstall the programs I installed to remove Aurora? (ewido, Find-It's, Killbox, Nailfix and all that) Or should I keep them?

Also, one more question: Where do I ask questions about other PC problems I have? Or can I ask you in this topic?

Thanks for all the help,
-jaimejd007

You say not to bump topics but I've been waiting for hours and this topic is already on the third page so I don't think it'll be answered if I don't bump it.

-jaimejd007

No, please do NOT bump your topics. We say this for a reason. I'm subscribed to your topic here once I post my first reply until I close it. So don't worry. I try to be here often and you should get a reply within a days time. If not, then you may reply with a bump ONLY after 24 hours or more. No less. This is just to decrease the amount of topics users get on the first page since some are just newly registered members who posted their first log and if other members keep bumping their posts, we will never get to see their original topic in the first place. So if you got a reply from a helper, don't worry, we will get back to you.

So how was the star war's movie? OK, let's get to the spyware problem now:

OK, to answer your other questions, yes you may uninstall them (or just delete with most of the tools except Ewido).

Yes, we have a variety of forums here which deals with PC related problems. You may choose one that fits best with your problem. I don't have any problems with you posting it here if you wish. I will try to answer them here quickly since it's really meant for malware/spyware only.

Do you by any chance have a CD in your drive when you did the scan? I see this entry in HJT:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WorkFlo] D:\Install\WorkFlow.exe

Boot into Safe Mode to delete this file if you can't delete it in Normal Mode:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\DEVIL.DLL

Other than that, I think you got them all

Your log is clean.

Turn off system restore by right clicking on My Computer and go to Properties->System Restore and check the box for Turn off System Restore. Click Apply and then OK. Restart your computer and uncheck the same box to enable System Restore.

Make sure to get the latest updates for Windows and Internet Explorer at http://v5.windowsupd...t.aspx?ln=en-us.

To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided.

Are there any problems now? If not, you should be set to go.

Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad we could help.

If you're the topic starter, and need this topic reopened, please contact a staff member with the address of the thread.

Everyone else please begin a New Topic.
