There is still some nasty ones left to deal with.

Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

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

  • O4 - .DEFAULT User Startup: AutoPlay.exe (User 'Default user')
  • O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)
  • O23 - Service: afisicx Manages messages (afisicx) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\afisicx.exe (file missing)
  • O23 - Service: IPSE Service (Messanger) - Unknown owner - c:\windows\svchost.exe (file missing)
  • O23 - Service: noxtcyr Corporation (noxtcyr) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\noxtcyr.exe (file missing)
  • O23 - Service: roxtctm Corporation inc. (roxtctm) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\roxtctm.exe
  • O23 - Service: sotpeca Manages messages (sotpeca) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\sotpeca.exe
  • O23 - Service: wsldoekd Co. Ltd. (wsldoekd) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsldoekd.exe (file missing)
.
Important: Close all windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

Exit HijackThis.

----------

Download ComboFix to your Desktop but do not run it yet.

1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad.
It must be Notepad, not Wordpad.
2. Copy the text in the below code box by highlighting all the text and pressing Ctrl+C

Code: [Select]
KillAll::

File::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\afisicx.exe
c:\windows\svchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\noxtcyr.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\roxtctm.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sotpeca.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsldoekd.exe

3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste
4. Then click File > Save
5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop
6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!



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.

Note: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to freeze

              Go to Start > Run and type Notepad.exe then click OK.

              Copy and paste the following text within the code box into the new Notepad file.

              Code: [Select]
              @ECHO OFF
              sc stop afisicx

              sc stop nmraapache

              sc stop wsldoekd
              sc delete wsldoekd
              exit

              In Notepad select File and Save as
              Choose the Save to location to be the Desktop and for the File name: type in fixme.bat making sure that the Save as type field says All files.

              Next double click fixservice.bat to run it.
              A black box should open and close after a short time, this is normal.
              Do not continue until the black box has closed
              Delete fixservice.bat from the Desktop.

              ----------

              Your Java is out of date.

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

              Download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.

              • Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program.
              • Click on Remove Older Versions to remove the older versions of Java installed on your computer.
              • Click Yes when prompted. When JavaRa is done, a notice will appear that a logfile has been produced. Click OK.
              • A logfile will pop up.
              • Delete the JavaRa .zip .exe and .html files from the Desktop
              Follow this link to download and install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7

              ----------

              Go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall:

              Viewpoint Media Player
              WildTangent Web Driver


              ----------

              Now run a new HijackThis scan and post the new log.

                If you use AOL it will likely come back at some point. It isn't malicious but is added without the user choosing to do so.

                Viewpoint Media Player/Manager/Toolbar is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad".

                More information:
