    maindwxp
    « on: March 15, 2008, 12:24:20 AM »
    i found maindwxp malware.   i think it comes frm orkut...

    i saw it in process list in window taskwar... also its present in startup option in msconfig... 

    i removed it frm processes and also check frm startup....

    but nortan antivirus 2007 is not able to detect this. also i tried window defender which is also unable to detect it...

    so what can i do to get rid of it;;;;

    is it very harmful for system

        What SP1a are you talking about? Why did you try to install it, since you have SP2 installed?

        Is Windows firewall ON?

        Go to Add\Remove, and uninstall Rediff Toolbar, if present.

        Post new HJT log.

          varun, Norton is not capable of detecting malware, but download a program called Ad-Aware from download.com it IS capable of detecting and deleting malware.

                  Oh, that's in case, you don't have any SP installed. You're fine here.

                  Does your Norton include firewall, or you have Windows firewall on?

                  1. Print this post out, since you won't have an access to it, at some point.

                  2. Close all windows, except for HijackThis.

                  3. Put a checkmark next to the following HijackThis entries (some entries will be checkmarked to disable unnecessary startups; in those cases (marked with *), no actual program will be removed):

                  - R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,SearchAssistant = http://server.toolbar.rediff.com/toolbar/3.0/sidesearch.html?mode=toolbar
                  - R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://server.toolbar.rediff.com/toolbar/3.0/sidesearch.html?mode=toolbar
                  - R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://server.toolbar.rediff.com/toolbar/3.0/sidesearch.html?mode=toolbar
                  - R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://server.toolbar.rediff.com/toolbar/3.0/sidesearch.html?mode=toolbar


                  4. Click on "Fix checked" button.

                  5. Turn off System Restore:

                  - Windows XP:
                     1. Click Start.
                     2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
                     3. Click the System Restore tab.
                     4. Check "Turn off System Restore".
                     5. Click Apply.   
                     6.  When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
                     7. Click OK.
                  - Windows Vista:
                     1. Click Start.
                     2. Right-click the Computer icon, and then click Properties.
                     3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
                     4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
                     5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
                     6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C:")
                     7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.
                     8. Click OK

                  6. Restart computer.

                  7. Turn System Restore on.

                  8. Post new HijackThis log.

                    The log is clean.

                    Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
                    Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html, and run CCleaner

                    Let me know afterwards how your computer is doing.

                      It looks from your logs, that CCleaner actually worked.

                      As for IE7 problem, open it, go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, and click on Reset button.
                      Restart computer.

                      Does Firefox work? Where are you posting from?

                            If it's not ticked, it doesn't start. Nothing to worry about.

                              No. You click "Reset" button, not "Restore Defaults".

                                    I'm not sure what's going on here....Your HJT log shows, that you have Internet Explorer 7, but from your description, it looks like IE6.
                                    Open IE, go Help, and click on "About Internet Explorer". What does it say about version?

                                      IE7 should be listed in Add\Remove. When you uninstall it, it'll go back to IE6. See, if IE6 will give you errors as well.

                                      Please, post fresh HJT log.

                                          Hi Broni and varun.

                                          To remove IE7

                                          First download the IE6 installer to the desktop just in case you need it. (don't install it)
                                        Download Internet Explorer 6

                                        If you are unable to see IE7 in Add or Remove Programs follow these steps:
                                        • Click Start
                                        • Click Run
                                        • Type or copy and paste, into the text box:
                                        • %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe
                                        • Then Press Enter
                                        • Restart your computer.
                                        .
                                        Now try to open internet explorer. If it doesn't work the run the installer for IE6 you just downloaded. If IE6 does work then delete the installer from the desktop.

                                              Open HJT, and checkmark following lines:

                                                Looks good...

                                                HJT log is clean.

                                                1. Turn off System Restore:

                                                - Windows XP:
                                                   1. Click Start.
                                                   2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
                                                   3. Click the System Restore tab.
                                                   4. Check "Turn off System Restore".
                                                   5. Click Apply.   
                                                   6.  When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
                                                   7. Click OK.
                                                - Windows Vista:
                                                   1. Click Start.
                                                   2. Right-click the Computer icon, and then click Properties.
                                                   3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
                                                   4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
                                                   5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
                                                   6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C:")
                                                   7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.
                                                   8. Click OK

                                                2. Restart computer.

                                                3. Turn System Restore on. Create new Restore Point.

                                                4. Run CCleaner one more time.

                                                6. Download, and install free ThreatFire: http://www.threatfire.com/, which will give you real-time protection against malwares.
                                                It won't interfere with your antivirus, nor firewall.

                                                7. Let me know, how your computer is doing.

                                                  Thank you for sharp eye. Apparently, I missed something.

                                                  Disable Windows Defender, as it'll interfere with cleaning process:
                                                     * Open Windows Defender
                                                      * Click Tools
                                                      * Click General Settings
                                                      * Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
                                                      * Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection
                                                      * After you uncheck this, click on the Save button
                                                      * Close Windows Defender

                                                  Open HijackThis, and checkmark following lines:
                                                  - O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [McAfeeUpdaterUI] "C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework\UdaterUI.exe" /StartedFromRunKey
                                                  - O23 - Service: McAfee Framework Service (McAfeeFramework) - McAfee, Inc. - C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework\FrameworkService.exe
                                                  Click "Fix checked".

                                                  Restart computer, and post new HJT log.

                                                  As for CCleaner backup, I'd leave it for a week, or so. If everything works fine, you may delete it.

                                                      You can keep Windows Defender on, no problem.

                                                      We'll delete McAfee folder in a moment. We must stop its service, first.
                                                      Go Start>Run, type in:
                                                      services.msc
                                                      Click OK.
                                                      Services window will open.
                                                      Find McAfee Framework Service in the list, right click on it, click Stop.
                                                      Right click again, click Properties, and under Startup type select Disabled from drop-down menu.
                                                      Restart computer.

                                                        Restart in Safe Mode, and follow very same procedure.

                                                          Download, and install Unlocker: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
                                                          It'll install under right click menu.
                                                          Navigate to:
                                                          C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework folder.
                                                          Right click on FrameworkService.exe file, click Unlocker.
                                                          Select Delete from drop-down menu. Click Ok.
                                                          Most likely, it won't let you delete, but it'll give you an option to delete on reboot.
                                                          Select that option. Click OK.
                                                          Restart computer.
                                                          Disregard any possible errors.

                                                            Using Unlocker, now you should be able to get rid of a whole McAfee folder from C:\Program Files
