Title: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 20, 2008, 06:41:12 PM
My sister is having lots of problems with her Dell Laptop. It is occasionally not booting up all the way after reboots and she says she is getting "virus protection" messages. Also, her Windows Automatic Updates are set on off, and I can't turn them on. Even when I do it manually, it won't change.
Is there a good anti-virus software I could download? Or maybe some sort of error checking software to see what the heck is wrong with this machine?
Thanks.

More about the "virus" messages-
Apparently, an internet explorer box pops up and shows it is "running virus scans" and when it finishes, it gives a link to purchase the program.

So it clearly has a virus. When I tired to google and download Spybot, it went right to "StopZilla."
Any advice?

Also, should I post this in another area of the forums?

Actually she has most likely somehow contracted a form of virus we refer to here as "Scumware"...
This is a small program that runs alleged scans and says the only way to fix your issues is to send them $39.95 and all will be right with the World...

Clik Here (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html)  and follow the instructions for posting your logs and one of our Malware Removal Specialists will be along to assist.

I'll move this to the proper section.

Ok I am starting to work on this but I am going to need some help. There's Mcafee on the system so I am running a virus scan.
In the add or remove programs window, there's a program called "Advertisment Service", which sounds kind of sketchy to me.
Any advice?

I don't see that exact term in the unwanted list but there are some that are abbreviated with the same name. I would remove it. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/uninstall/Cat-A.html

When using Mozilla Friefox, I would use Google to search something. When I click on a link, I get "hijacked" and brought to the website that has the "virus scan." I really don't know where to start with this.,

I did have the TSDserv on there. It had an "!" on it. I disabled it and rebooted.

A lot of things keep happening, among them:
An error message for an "invalid picture" and MSN just tried to install something without me pressing anything...

The first error message I just talked about is...
"Rendll32.exe-Bad Image. The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\sawubiyi.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

also, I get a...
"Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\sawubiyi.dll %1 is not a valid Win32 application"

Those are all part of the virus. Do this.

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

Link #1 (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
Link #2 (http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe)

**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 (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html) 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.

Will this repair the error messages?

This is usually a multiple step process. Each step we take will get you closer to being malware free.

Ok. Out of curiosity, what is the TDSS thing. Becuase it appeared as a "problem" on a Spybot search.
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: evilfantasy on December 21, 2008, 08:43:19 PM
It is a rootkit and spybot isn't powerful enough to remove it. It takes specialized tools like ComboFix.
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 21, 2008, 08:45:05 PM
Should I fix that selected problem?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: evilfantasy on December 21, 2008, 08:47:03 PM
Please just follow the directions I posted here http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,72640.msg474754.html#msg474754

If you start doing other things it will just make the whole process more difficult and time consuming :)

Yes, I am about to. I was just finishing the scan and it appeared.

(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s258/evilfantasy69/CFScript-1.gif)

ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts.
After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you.
Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.

Extra Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

Should I do anything else with the Hijack? Or just reboot?
Am I done?

Am I done?

Not yet. Still a few more steps.

Thank you so much for all of your help by the way. The  Malwarebytes scan is running now...

Your welcome.

The real-time protection of two antivirus programs may conflict with each other and cause the following:

1) False Alarms: When the anti virus software tells you that your PC has a virus when it actually doesn't.
2) Conflicts: Your system may lock up due to both products attempting to access the same file at the same time.
3) Performance: More that one antivirus will cause your PC to become slow and it may even crash or blue screen.

Please uninstall one antivirus, either McAfee or Avast. Two actually leaves you less protected.

----------

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.

First install the new Sun Java Runtime Environment (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sun_Java_Runtime_Environment_d4648.html)

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

Remove the old version(s)

Download JavaRa (http://www.majorgeeks.com/JavaRa_d5967.html)
.
----------

How is the computer running now?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 11:22:31 AM
Ok, to remove Avast, should I just Add or Remove program?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: evilfantasy on December 22, 2008, 11:27:28 AM
Yes. There should be just one entry to uninstall. Be sure to restart the computer after uninstalling it.
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 11:30:32 AM
Ok, I did the uninstall and reboot. I did the Hijackthis and fixed all of the O15s.
Now I am about to do the Java.

OTCleanIt.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/oldtimer/OTCleanIt.exe) and save it to your Desktop.
.
Run CCleaner.

Important: Restart the computer before continuing.

----------

Run the  Kaspersky Online Scanner (http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner)

In Microsoft Windows Vista, you must open the Web browser using the Run as Administrator command. From the Desktop right click the icon to open the browser and choose Run as Administrator.

When the scan is done, in the Scan is complete window, any infection is displayed.
There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report.

To obtain the report:
Click on: Save Report As(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s258/evilfantasy69/Kas-Savetxt.gif)

Copy and paste the Kaspersky Online Scanner Report in your next reply.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.

Before that, both times I tried running JavaRa, it had to close because it encountered an error. The first time it deleted a lot of stuff before showing the message, the second time it was right after I opened it. What should I do?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 11:40:38 AM
It worked the next time I tried. Would you like to see the log?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 11:46:53 AM
I am supposed to run CCleaner? Because I did and it deleted a lot of stuff. Was that what I was supposed to do?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: evilfantasy on December 22, 2008, 11:54:19 AM
No I don't need the JavaRA log. Yes running CCleaner is always good. You can run it daily to clean up unwanted junk on your hard drive.
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 12:30:02 PM
Generally, how long does the Kaspersky scan take?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: evilfantasy on December 22, 2008, 12:31:10 PM
It will take at least an hour, possibly more. It does take a while.
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 02:08:38 PM
The Kaspersky scan didn't have anything in the Scan Report. It was blank.
I think that's a good thing...

Looks good.

How is the computer running now?

Use the  Secunia Software Inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector) to check for out of date software.
.
----------

Go to Microsoft Windows Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and get all critical updates.

The computer is running well now. I will try those things. Also, what can I delete and what should I keep of the things I've downloaded over the past 2+ days? Everything is saved to the desktop.
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: evilfantasy on December 22, 2008, 04:54:33 PM
Keep MBAM and SAS. Update and run them now and again to make sure nothing strange has found it's way in.

Keep CCleaner, run it daily to keep the HD clean.

You can uninstall or delete anything else.
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 05:02:13 PM
Ok thank you.
I did the OSI scan and I have red "X"s next to...
AOL Instant Messenger 5.x (though AIM 6.x is installed)
Adobe Reader 8.X
All of my old Adobe Flash players, I have 10.x

Should I follow the instructions to download the updates?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 05:08:40 PM
Which is SAS?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: evilfantasy on December 22, 2008, 05:13:33 PM
Which is SAS?

SUPERAntiSpyware.

Check in your add/remove programs for old versions of AIM and uninstall them if found.

Do this to remove all unstable older versions of Flash.

Download the Flash Player Uninstaller (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/) and save it to your desktop.

Run the uninstaller program and then reboot your computer to complete the uninstall.

Download and install the latest version of Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer)
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: slafa23 on December 22, 2008, 06:14:34 PM
In my Add or Remove programs, there is...
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
Adobe Flash Player plugin
Adobe Reader 8.1.2
Adobe Shockwave Player

Which should I delete?
Title: Re: Lots of problems with Laptop, Windowx XP
Post by: evilfantasy on December 22, 2008, 06:16:55 PM
Those are all OK. If you run the uninstaller from above then install the new version you should be OK.

Ok will do! Thanks so much for all of your help!
