hijack log after corrections

[cjkitti]

Hi! Made all the corrections as instructed...here's the new log. I have a few more questions. Since the spyware has been on my computer I haven't been able to search from the address bar. It still won't work. Actually, it will only work if you put the exact address there. Also everytime I run SpyBot the same "DSOExploit" comes up. Everytime i fix it, it just comes back. Any imput is helpful...Thanks...once again, this is such a helpful site, you're saving me!!!! cj

try removing these entries, in safe mode.

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
F0 - system.ini: Shell=

[cjkitti]

Can you tell me where to find the first there items so i can delete them???

[shwaip]

Sure.

When you run hijackthis, the above list of entries will come up. Check the ones I showed you, and click "fix checked".

[cjkitti]

Once again....thanks sooooooooooo much!!!

[cjkitti]

Well...went and did as instructed, these two lines won't delete after i click on fix problems. The other one did go away. Would you have an idea why that is?????

F0 - system.ini: Shell=
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Userinit.exe,ms...

[Straight_Man]

The F0 and F2 shown, I ignore on XP Pro. IN THEORY, shell= Explorer.exe --- unless you have a box with more than one user, and that box is also an XP or 2000 box. THEN, the blank sheell= and the userinit.exe entry can be valid. BOTH of them.

Oh, I do not get junkware here doign that, either. 4 AVs (three run online), SpyBot, HJT, Ad Aware, cwshredder, Spyblaster, and about three other apps can find NADA on box. Those two alone are not bad things, if teh ohters vaporized, they can be left. It is part of multiuser swithcing functionality in XP and 2000, and the second of the two (the F2) is what in fact gives you user custom settings. Windows itself puts them back if you delete them in registry directly-- even if zero restore points exist to do that with.

NOW, if "shell=explorer.exe, something.exe" then the something.exe might be junkware but a simple "shell= "(blank entry) is not invalid per se. Another entry set elsewhere in registry will fill in user settings and an explorer customization set-- explaining that last statement would take a book, but it is true. Period. For any XP or 2000 that is or has been multiuser (note Admin ID and a user ID on a box, means XP is multiuser-- XP Pro will always be multiuser).

AS FAR AS the DSO.exploit.... Turn off beta in SpyBot S&D, and get 1.32 for version. SpyBot S&D with Beta on gets a mess of defs, can have dupes of defs, and I had mine yelling at me in GERMAN about defs gettign modded by more recent defs invalidly before I wiped it, reloaded it, and made sure it was not set to Beta. Beta is test, and test is yielding DUPLICATE DEFS-- merijn is only fixing a Japanese language support bug right now, then going back to university to study, so bugs in program are basically gone. If you have these set this way and you cannot get rid of a DSO.Exploit, then you need to run insafe mode, as admin, then as each user in safe mode (with restarts between, not fast user switching). A DSO.Exploit can hide in user custom settings also. EACH USER can have their own private DSO.Exploit set.... Hmmm....

[cjkitti]

How do you turn off beta on Spybot? Looked everywhere...couldn't find it... :rolleyes: Thanks for your help!!! I've come along way with this spyware, just a few loose ends...just got online 4 months ago and i'm amazed at what's going on with all this spyware, adware, etc...there should be laws...can't believe there's not...
