    STill trying to get rid of virus
    « on: December 20, 2009, 11:54:38 AM »
    Did what the first post recommended removed all progams ccleaner and such . Ran all logs there attached here . It all started after downloading and update to adobe . removed adobe and all internet browsers i.a. internet explorer, msn , bonjour.installed mozilla firefox . was working fine no hijacks until i tried another adobe program . Computer is running slow opening and closing programs and typing . Hopefully somebody can look at these logs and figure it out . Running xp . Normally run AVG 8,5 . Antispyware , malware , and zonealarm for my firewall .
    Thanks

    Hello Helpme220 and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Superdave but you can just call me SD. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs.

    1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
    2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
    3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
    4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
    5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
    7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

    Download Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

    Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

    Unzip the file on the desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

    Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.

    Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only

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

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HotKeysCmds] C:\WINDOWS\system32\hkcmd.exe
    (Description: Intel hotkey applet. Unnecessary. Removing this will free up a small amount of system resources.)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] \"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe\"
    (Description: Sun Java update scheduler. Checks for updates. Not necessary. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources
    O9 - Extra button: Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Windows Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
    O18 - Filter hijack: text/html - {2ee8be41-c6be-4dfd-a28b-a5cd7cd24aa4} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiebbar.dll


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

    Once completed, exit HijackThis.

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

    link # 1
    link #2

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

    Temporarily disable your anti-virus, and any anti-spyware 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.

    Vista users Right-click combofix.exe and select Run as Administrator and follow the prompts.
    Double-click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
    When finished, ComboFix will produce a log for you.
    Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

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

    Remember to re-enable your anti-virus and anti-spyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

      My fault. I forgot to have you remove the file. Too much eggnog, I suppose.

      Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only

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

      O18 - Filter hijack: text/html - {2ee8be41-c6be-4dfd-a28b-a5cd7cd24aa4} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiebbar.dll


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

      Once completed, exit HijackThis.

      Reconfigure Windows XP to show hidden files::

      Click Start. My Computer.
      Select the Tools menu Folder Options. Select the View Tab.
      Under the Hidden files and folders heading select "Show hidden files and folders".
      Uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" option.
      Uncheck the "Hide file extensions for known file types" option.
      Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.

      Click Start, Search, select All Files and Folders. Copy and paste
      Code: [Select]
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiebbar.dll and click search. Delete this file.

      You should be able to find the ComboFix log at C:\ComboFix. If you can't find it, please send me another HJT log.

        Yes, the ComboFix log is a txt log. Did you look in the C: drive under Combofix? If you can't find it, could you please run it again.

          Not disabling your AV and Firewall should not prevent ComboFix from running. It just affects how it runs. By all means, don't delete your AV until I check with my mentor.

          Download DDS from HERE or HERE or HERE 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)

          * XP users Double click on dds to run it.
          * If your antivirus or firewall try to block DDS then please allow it to run.
          * When finished DDS will open two (2) logs.

          1) DDS.txt
          2) Attach.txt

          * Save both logs to your desktop.
          * Please copy and paste the entire contents of both logs in your next reply.

          Note: DDS will instruct you to post the Attach.txt log as an attachment.
          Please just post it as you would any other log by copy and pasting it into the reply.

            Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.
            Save Rkill to your desktop.

            There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
             
            Vista and Win7 users need to right click Rkill and choose Run as Administrator
             

            You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

            Rkill.exe
            Rkill.com
            Rkill.scr
            Rkill.pif

            Once you've gotten one of them to run then try to immediately run the following.
             
            Now download and Run exeHelper.

            Please download exeHelper from Raktor to your desktop.
            • Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix. A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed. A log file named log.txt will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com Attach the log.txt file to your next message.

              Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).

                Download GMER Rootkit Detector and save it your desktop.
                 
                * Extract it to your desktop and double-click GMER.exe
                * Make sure all of the boxes on the right of the screen are checked, EXCEPT for "Show All".
                * Click the Rootkit tab and then Scan.
                * Don't check the Show All box while scanning in progress!
                * When scanning is finished click Copy.
                * This copies the log to clipboard

                  Hey sd, was hoping this was gonna be it . Downloaded GMER .exe and ran it . First time I got a blue screen saying windows shut down because damage was going to happen to my computer . They said there was a program called Kwtcypow.sys. that was causing trouble and i needed to restart my computer and see if my harware and software was all installed properly.And is this continued to go into safe mode. So I restarted my computer again and ran it again . this time same blue screen but it was saying it shut down because there was a Bad_Pool_ caller  What ever that is ? so I am at your mercy . What is the next step ?
                  Thank you
