Computer Wont Start in Normal mode, only Safe Mode. Spyware infection. Help plz!

[flomtl]

First i will describe the problem.
My computer suddenly told me that it was infected with spyware, now i recognized it as a fake indicator because it kept trying to force me to download a certain "anti virus software" so i put 2 and 2 together and figure i had a virus. so I immediately used Avast! (my anti virus program) to run a full thorough scan of my system. It came up with multiple threats (it told me my startup/memory was infected and it was unsafe to continue using my computer) it recommended restarting and running scan on boot to delete threats. So i restart and i get a blue screen. Then the computer tries to restart and it just loops back into the blue screen every time.

This is what i think the problem is. Something (virus/spyware/malware) is trying to boot up on startup. My computer is crashing because of this. The only way to delete is  to run a boot scan. but i cannot reboot in normal mode, only in safe mode. Avast requires a reboot to delete the files. (and yes ive tried manually delete the infested file it just reapears) (below is everything ive tried)


Now heres what ive tried to do:
 - I started in smart mode. Ran avast there. it does the same, finds a threat asks me to reboot which brings me back to the blue screen.

- I ran msconfig, disabled all startup things in the startup tab and then tried a reboot.
no success, (still got the blue screen)

- so then in safemode i installed malwarebytes (recommended by a friend) and ran that, it found 20 threats. when i said to delete them it said it had to reboot. which once again led back to a blue screen

- now i tried to boot from a Windows xp disc. when i click "r" to repair windows xp. it tells me that it cannot detect any hardrive.

- i ran spybot (dont think its the newest version, because i cannot update it form safe mode) it found 3 threats. so i deleted them, rebooted. back to blue screen.

so now i am in safe mode, writing the message, in complete despair.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you
Florian


o and here is some info about my computer if it helps.
512mb ram
Windows XP (service pack 2)
2 25gig hardrive partitions (C:) (D:) (operating system on C drive)
i use mozilla for internet browsing
my virus scanner is Avast

it is a laptop an IBM thinkpad T60

Thanks alot

Florian.

Just thought of some more information so i'm modifying my post:
Since this virus happened. My google.com also refers me to google.co.jp instead of canadian or american  google. Also a lot of sites dont work. and most google links bring me to "wrong" links (as in not wat they are supposed to be) i get redirected, to various sites that tell me to download antivirus/spyware programs.....
i have to copy paste the link from the bottom of the google descriptin and paste it into the browsing bar.

hope that helps someone help me

Use msconfig and enable all items in the startup tab.

Please print these instructions as they will be needed later when Internet access is not available.
 
Download SDFix by AndyManchesta and save it to your desktop. http://rapidshare.com/files/156236231/SDFix.exe.html

When using this tool, you must use the Administrator's account or an account with Administrative rights

• Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
  
• (this is the drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix).
  
• DO NOT use it just yet.

.Reboot your computer in Safe Mode using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode".
 
Open the SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.

• Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
  
• It will remove any Trojan Services or Registry Entries found then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
• Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  
• When the PC restarts, the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  
• Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
  
• Copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt in your next reply.

I followed the instructions. Computer is now starting in Normal mode which is great:D!

however when i rebooted after running SDFix in safe mode. I started it in normal mode, right away my avast ran a boot scan, then SDFix ran it's scan. Now SDFix froze...i had to force shutdown my laptop because after 2h30min it still wasn't done.

My computer is telling me that i have no antivirus, and that my firewall is disabled. Also my avast is not letting me update saying it cannot connect to server.

i have included 3 logs (SDFix, Avast boot scan, and catchme (which just appeared on my desktop?))

Thanks alot for the help so far!!

Florian

[edit]:
I ran Malwarebytes and it found 2 trojans, (also attached log of scan)

my virus scans are able to update now so i believe that the thing is gone

On a side note, my google.com is always redirected to www.google.co.jp when 2 days ago it would put me to .ca (cause im in canada) could that be because of the virus still being present? or is that not caused by my computer


thank you so much for all the help you guys are the best
Florian

We will fix the homepage issue after all of the malware is gone.

Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from and save it to your Desktop.

• Double click on RSIT.exe to run.
  
• Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
  
• Once it has finished, two logs will open.
• log.txt <will be maximized and info.txt <will be minimized
  
• Please post the contents of both logs in the next reply.

[flomtl]

i downloaded the program, ran the .exe, said continue at the disclaimer and i get

"Autolt Error"

Line -1:

Error: INcorrect number of parameters in function call.

then all i can do is click ok
 
Did i do something wrong?

[evilfantasy]

Download

TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT) to the Desktop.

• Double-click on HJTInstall.
• Click on the Install button.
  
• It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
  
• Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
• Close HijackThis.

.
Now run RSIT again and see if it works.

[flomtl]

i installed hijack this, same error.

[evilfantasy]

OK let's do a HJT scan.

• Open HijackThis.
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
  
• HijackThis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
• Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
  
• Do not have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

[flomtl]

Here's the log file for the HJT scan.

Your Java is out of date.

Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to infect your system.

First install the new Sun Java Runtime Environment

Be sure to close all browser windows before beginning the install.

Remove the old version(s)

Download JavaRa

• Click Remove Older Versions
  
• JavaRa will search for and remove any outdated version of Java and remove any that are found.
• Click Additional Tasks
  
• Place a check next to Remove Useless JRE Files and click Go
  
• Exit JavaRa
  
• Delete the JavaRa files from the Desktop

Run this online scan.

This scanner requires Internet Explorer

Use the ESET Nod32 Online Scanner

1. Check the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
2. Click Start
3. When asked, allow the activex control to install
4. Click Start
5. Make sure that the option Remove found threats and the option Scan unwanted applications is check marked.
6. Click Scan
7. Wait for the scan to finish
8. Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
9. Add the C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt log into your next reply.

How is everything now?

[flomtl]

I did the java thing (install new, delete old) however i could not go to the java site you linked. so i just clicked on the update that was waiting in my start bar. (the little java square in the bottom right corner.

Then i clicked on the link for the NOD32 scan. (in Internet Explorer) however it will not allow me to connect to that site.

Also my google searches are once again being redirceted. and it feels like the computer has slowed down significantly.
it seems that i cant get to any anti-virus/malware/spyware related sites...

So things are not so good now (better then initially though i must say since im not getting a blue screen cycle on start up:D)
alllways look at the bright side heh
