    Windows won't load right - safe mode only
    « on: December 05, 2008, 06:06:38 PM »
    Hello.

    I'm embarrassed to say that I'm back with another problem.
    This time it's my mom's laptop.  (She's in so much trouble--but I digress)

    It's a Dell 1G w/ 256 RAM.  Pentium III. Windows XP Pro w/sp3. She thought she was running all the right programs but she wasn't.
    She was using Spyware Blaster, Ad-aware and SpyBot,

    She tried to watch a video online, it asked something about running active x,
    she says she clicked "no" but whatever it was installed anyway. 

    Step A -She had AVG 7.5 installed but I'm not sure if  she used it or updated it.  I tried to upgrade but 8.0 won't install in safe mode.

    Step 1 -Nothing suspicious to remove

    Step 2 -CCleaner removed 30Mb of crap

    Step 3 -SuperAntispyware wouldn't install in safe mode

    Step 4 -MBAM installed and ran fine -logs attached

    Step 5 -Java is current

    Step 6 -Hijack this installed and ran fine -logs attached

    Thanks again, Jeani

    Disable Spybot's TeaTimer

    While TeaTimer is an excellent tool for the prevention of spyware, it can also interfere with HijackThis fixes. Please disable TeaTimer for now until you are clean.

    1. Right click Spybot in the System Tray (looks like a calendar with a padlock symbol). Choose Exit Spybot S&D Resident
    2. Run Spybot S&D
    3. Go to the Mode menu, and make sure Advanced Mode is selected.
    4. On the left hand side, choose Tools > Resident
    uncheck Resident TeaTimer and OK any prompt and Restart your computer.

    Note:
    If TeaTimer gives you a warning afterwards that some changes were made, allow this instead of blocking it.

    If TeaTimer will not turn off then uninstall Spybot until we are done cleaning.

    ----------

    Before you begin the SDFix instructions you should copy these instructions in a Notepad file and save them to your desktop or print them for easy reference. Much of SDFix will be done in Safe mode and you will be unable to access this web page after booting into Safe mode.

    Download SDFix by AndyManchesta and save it to your desktop.

    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.
    .
    Can you get to Normal mode now?

      It seems to get a little farther into loading but still doesn't work right in normal mode.  If I click any icons, the hourglass just keeps going and the program doesn't open.  CTRL ALT DEL doesn't work either.  I'm back in safe mode.  Here's the report:

      Download Dial-a-Fix by djlizard, save it to the desktop then extract it to it's own folder.
      • Open the folder and run Dial-a-fix.exe
      • 2 windows will open. Close the one in the background labeled Restrictive Policies
      • Check the box in section 1, Empty temp folders.
      • Check the box in section 2, Fix Windows Installer.
      • Check the box in section 4, labeled SSL/HTTPS/Cryptography. The 4 boxes under it should be pre-checked
      • Check all boxes in Section 5, labeled Registration Center.
      • Click Go
      • OK any error messages if received, but write them down and post them here.
      • Restart the computer when done.
      How is everything now?

        I was not able to check the box in section 2, but I ran sdfix with everything else you told me.  I didn't get any error messages, and normal mode isn't any different.

        Download ComboFix© by sUBs from one of the below links. Be sure top save it to the Desktop.

        Link #1
        Link #2

        **Note:  It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop

        Close any open Web browsers. (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

        Temporarily disable your antivirus, and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.
         
        Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

        For Windows XP Systems install the Recovery Console:

        - If you are using Windows XP and do not already have the Recovery Console installed, please ensure your Internet connection is active (if possible) and click Yes.
        - If for some reason your Internet is not working click No.
        - If you are not using Windows XP, you will not be prompted.
        - When prompted to accept the EULA click OK.
        - Accept Microsoft's EULA (Click Yes).
        - When you are told that the RC is installed correctly click YES to continue scanning for malware.

        When finished ComboFix will produce a log for you.
        Post the ComboFix log in your next reply.

        Important: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

        Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

          I ran the combo fix.  I kept checking on the laptop as it was running.  The program automatically restarted.  It got as far as a blue screen that said something like "this window will close in a minutes.  Combo fix is producing a log.  It will be saved in C:\Combofix"  I waited a full ten minutes and nothing happened beyond that.  I restarted in safe mode again but I can't find the log it was referring to.  There are 3 *.txt documents in the folder: CF-RC, ComboFix, OsId, and pend.

          Go to Start > Run and type c:\combofix.txt and then click OK. It should pop up for you.

              I'm really not seeing anything.

              Please download from DDS by sUBs and save it to your Desktop.

              Vista users. Right click on dds and select Run as administrator (you will receive a UAC prompt, please allow it)
              • Double click on dds to run it.
              • When done, DDS.txt will open.
              • You will receive another prompt after a while. Click Yes at the prompt. It will take another few minutes to scan.
              • When done, Attach.txt will open.
              • Please copy and paste the contents of DDS.txt and Attach.txt in your next reply.

                I'm stumped.

                You might try a System Restore and see if it gets it back to normal mode.

                Do you have an XP CD?
