    problem after running first spybot S & D
    « on: June 09, 2008, 01:37:44 AM »
     :-[ Downloaded spybot, ran first time. Long list of infections dealt with, but I was asked if I wanted to allow or deny name changes on two items. I read all user stuff  before using, but saw nothing about that. I guessed wrong. My desktop disappeared! I'm not sure if my BitDefender is running. I can't tell which, out of the list of things I deleted, is connected with my desk top. I'm afraid to shut down, but don't like being open like this, all night.

    Is Spybot open? Click Recovery and restore everything.

    Then post a Hijackthis log so we can have a look.

      Spybot is open. Don't have hijack this. Open another page and download it? Major Geeks.com suggests hijack this is for advanced users?

      We're here to help ;)

      Download and rename TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT)
      • 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 and rename it.
      • Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.exe
      • Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename.
      • Type in sniper.exe and press Enter.
      • Right-click on sniper.exe and select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)
      • From the desktop open Hijackthis.
      • If using Windows Vista, Right-click and Run As Administrator.
      • 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.
      Although we have renamed Hijackthis to sniper, we will still refer to it as Hijackthis or HJT.

          ??? :-[ How do I change the name if I can't get into anything on my pc? If I just shut down, then turn on again later, will the desktop restore? I did restore all removed with spybot
        Thanks for all the patience here.

        Use ctrl-shift-esc to bring up task manager, from there you can File -> New Task (run) type in explorer.exe to see if you can get the desktop back.

          OK. If we can get a HijackThis log we will know where to go from there.

             ;D Yay! Got desktop back!
            spybot just popped up with "System Startup global entry Value deleted" entry: "SpybotSnD", old data: "C:\Program Files\Spybot-Search...."  Before I could finish keying that in, got a pop up saying "user denied". Is that good?
            Go ahead and proceed with HijackThis download, or run spybot again, change name, etc, as per previous instructions?

            Yes I think the Hijackthis instructions would be best.

              I got a window that says "renaming, moving, or deleting 'Hijack This' could make some programs not work. Are sure you want to do this?" Yes?

              Lets run this instead.

              Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your Desktop.
              Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.
              Vista users Right click DSS and Run as Administrator.


              • Close all applications and windows.
              • Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
              • When the scan is complete, two text files will open.
                • main.txt <- this one will be maximized
                • extra.txt <- this one will be minimized
              • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your reply.

                Thank you.
                It says only save to disc, with option to save file or cancel.
                Ok, on desk. Proceeding

                When DSS finishes it should pop up two logs. If it instead gives you options save them, choose to save them to the Desktop and then copy/paste them back here.

                    OK, we have some work to do.

                    Disable Spybot's TeaTimer

                    While TeaTimer is an excellent tool for the prevention of spyware, it can sometimes prevent our tools from fixing certain things.
                    Please disable TeaTimer for now until you are clean. TeaTimer can be re-activated once your logs are clean.

                    First:

                    • Right click Spybot in the System Tray (looks like a calendar with a padlock symbol)
                    • Choose Exit Spybot S&D Resident
                    Second:
                    • Open Spybot S&D
                    • Click Mode, check Advanced Mode
                    • Go To Left Panel, Click Tools, then also in left panel, click Resident
                    • If your firewall raises a question, say OK
                    • Uncheck the box labeled Resident Tea-Timer and OK any prompts.
                    • Use File, Exit to terminate Spybot
                    • Reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.
                    .
                    ----------

                    Your file associations need fixing.

                    Click Start > Run> type in (or copy & paste):

                    "%userprofile%\desktop\dss.exe" /daft

                    Click OK
                     
                    DSS will start again, click OK in the disclaimer window
                    Click the Scan button.
                    Select everything displayed in the results window
                    Click the Fix button
                    Rescan with DAFT again (Start > Run > "%userprofile%\desktop\dss.exe" /daft) it should say All associations are OK
                    Close DSS.

                    ----------

                    Open Hijackthis and select Do a system scan only.

                    Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

                    .
                    Important: Close all windows except for Hijackthis and then click Fix checked.

                    Exit Hijackthis.

                    ----------

                    Your Java is out of date.

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

                    Install the new version Sun Java Runtime Environment

                    Remove the old version(s)

                    • Download JavaRa and unzip the file to your Desktop.
                    • Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
                    • Once complete exit JavaRA and delete the program.
                    • Run CCleaner.
                    .
                    ----------

                    Go to add/remove programs and uninstall:

                    Search Assistant - My Web Search

                    ----------

                    Download SDFix.exe and save it to your Desktop.

                    Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
                    (Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

                    Now then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:

                    • Restart your computer
                    • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
                    • Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
                    • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
                    • Choose your usual account.
                    • Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
                    • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
                    • It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds 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
                      (Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard).
                    • Finally save the contents of the results file Report.txt to add in your next reply.
                    If SDFix won't run or you get errors, follow the link for instructions on running SDFix. How to use SDFix

                        advanced mode gave me notice: "Warning. The advance mode of Spybot-S&D offers more options than the default mode; but those also include some that co harm to your system if you are not sure what you are doing. Do you really want to switch to advanced mode?"
                        As we're depending upon YOUR brains and not mine, select "yes"?

                        Yes, we need to turn off Tea Timer.

                        There are more options in advanced mode. Here is an overview of it. http://antivirus.about.com/od/securitytips/ss/hosts_2.htm

                        It's a little out dated but the basics of it are still relevant.

                          I tried to run

                          "%userprofile%\desktop\dss.exe" /daft
                          results was notice "Windows cannot find "C:\Documents and Settings\txboots\desktop\dss.exe"/daft
                          Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
                          Did search for file again and still got the above notice.
                          I have to go to bed. Will all this be ok til later?
                          At least desktop reappeared.

                             ::) Hi. I'm still having messes. I have gotten thru everything up to trying to go into safe mode. I get the 304 error message, and just stays there. I tried shutting down for a few minutes before trying again, but twice my hard drive started sounding like a small airplane   engine! I'd stop quick tapping F8 and desktop icons loaded and the sound went away. I cannot get into safe mode, so I could go to firefox and open SDFix. I'm afraid to try again, without wise input, because that sound cannot be good.  :-\
                            Thanks, again, for all your help!!! Don't know how you guys do all this!

                              Download DrWeb CureIt & save it to your desktop.

                              Scan with DrWeb-CureIt as follows:
                              • Double-click on drweb-cureit.exe and then click Start.
                              • An Express Scan of your PC notice will appear.
                              • Under Start the Express Scan Now Click OK to start.
                                • This is a short scan that will scan the files currently running in memory.
                                • If or when something is found, click the Yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it.
                              • Once the short scan has finished, Click Options > Change settings
                              • Choose the Scan tab and UNcheck Heuristic analysis and click OK
                              • Back at the main window, select the Complete scan button.
                              • Then click the Green Arrow Start Scanning button on the right and the scan will start.
                                • Click Yes to all if it asks if you want to cure/move any file(s).
                              • When the scan is done.
                              • In the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top left, click File and choose Save report list.
                              • Save the DrWeb.csv report to your Desktop.
                              • Exit Dr.Web Cureit.
                              • Important! Reboot your computer because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
                              [/COLOR]
                              • After reboot, Right-click the Dr.Web log on the desktop and choose Open With > Notepad
                              • Copy and paste that log in the next reply
                              .
                              ----------

                              Now run a new Hijackthis scan and post that log also.

                                Computer shut down during full scan of Dr.Web CureIt, and rebooted. I don't think it was finished, and I didn't get to save report list. Took me a bit to get back up. Rerun?
                                I did a little digging. I need the Windows recovery console, but I don't have the Windows disc. In reading up on Dr.Web-Cure it, I need that recovery console. Is there a way around this? I read a little about UNC (Universal Naming Convention), as a possible help for this, but it looks a little scary for me to attempt.

                                Without a Windows CD Recovery Console won't do any good.

                                Run the F-Secure online scan for Viruses, Spyware and RootKits:

                                This scanner works with Internet Explorer only

                                • Go to the F-Secure Online Virus Scanner
                                • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Start scanning button. A window will pop up.
                                • Allow the Active X control to be installed on your computer, then click the Accept button
                                • Click Full System Scan and allow the components to download and the scan to complete.
                                • If malware is found, check Submit samples to F-Secure then select Automatic cleaning
                                • When cleaning has finished, click Show report (this will open an Internet Explorer window containing the report)
                                • Highlight and Copy (CTRL + C) the complete report, and Paste (CTRL + V) in a new reply to this post
                                If Automatic cleaning with Submit samples hangs, click Cancel, then New Scan
                                • When the cleaning option is presented, Uncheck Submit samples to F-Secure
                                • Click Automatic cleaning
                                • When cleaning has finished, click Show report (this will open an Internet Explorer window containing the report)
                                • Highlight and Copy (CTRL + C) the complete report, and Paste (CTRL + V) in a new reply to this post along with a fresh HijackThis log.
                                Note:
                                • This scan will only work with Internet Explorer
                                • You must have administrator rights to run this scan
                                • This scan can take over an hour so please be patient

                                        Thank you. I see I selected wrong. I just scanned again, and got a note: "CMMGR32.EXE-Entry Point Not Found
                                        The procedure entry point CmFmtMsg could not be located in the dynamic link library cmutil.dll."
                                        Log didn't open up in notepad

                                        Do you have an XP CD?

                                        If so, place it in your CD ROM drive and follow the instructions below:
                                        • Click on Start > Run and type sfc /scannow then press Enter (note the space between scf and /scannow)
                                          • Let this run undisturbed until the window with the blue  progress bar goes away
                                        SFC - Which stands for System File Checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

                                        If you want to see what was replaced, right-click My Computer and click on Manage
                                        In the new window that appears, expand the Event Viewer (by clicking on the + symbol next to it) and then click on System.

                                          • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox

                                                Not sure which one did it.

                                                Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one
                                                Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.
                                                • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
                                                • Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
                                                • The new restore point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
                                                • Next go to Start > Run and type Cleanmgr
                                                • Click OK
                                                • Click the More Options Tab.
                                                • Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.
                                                .
                                                ----------

                                                Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
                                                • Click Start Now
                                                • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
                                                • Click Start
                                                • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
                                                • Update anything listed.
                                                .

                                                ----------

                                                Make sure all of your security programs are up to date and run scans with them regularly. Once or twice a week minimum.

                                                    Sorry, I've never cleaned C that way. I can just click on "disc cleaner". It's done. Windows won't update me as I don't pass validation.

                                                      Took them about 6 years to decide it isn't. I downloaded a tool that is supposed to find the verification number; it isn't accepted
                                                      I was just allowed to download the first of 3 downloads of XP Service Pak 3, at www.microsoft.com/downloads, but have to go around my securities to download other two parts.

                                                      I can't help you with that issue until you can show you have a legitimate copy of XP.
