Hello, I've had a horrible few days trying to deal with what I believe is nasty malware. I may have downloaded and run something I shouldn't have when I was looking for a label program on the Internet. Since the 13 of December I have been downloading every kind of adware - spyware - trojon software that I could find. I currently have Spyware Blaster - Scan Spyware - Ad-aware SE Personal and Spybot Search and Destroy. I have downloaded CW Shredder - HiJack This - VX2Finder(126) - LPSFIX and several other programs to try and figure out how to get rid of this malware. My HOSTS file is totally compromised and is changed as fast as I edit it. I have immunized my system to block most of the malware but it is persistant. The only thing that has kept me being able to access the links that I want is to run ad-aware right after start-up , remove the VX2 and other malware and then use killadd popup blocker immediately upon accessing the internet. I usually get an error message [An exception occurred while trying to run ""C:\WINNT\System32\guard.tmp",uMonitor"

I have been reading the other threads and think that I have a new varient of the look2me/vx2 infection that kill2me doesn't eliminate. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with regard to this problem. Regards (RevTed)

Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.99. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go here. (http://computercops.biz/downloads-file-328.html) Remove the old version by opening the program, going to config\misc tools, then uninstall & exit. You then have to delete the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.
Please do the following;

Click My Computer, then C:\
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis". Now you have C:\HJT\ folder. Put your HijackThis.exe there, and double click to run it.

Download LSPfix from here (http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-file-334.html)
On the opening screen, click the "I know what I'm doing" checkbox. Check all instances of "calsp.dll" (and nothing else), and move them to the "Remove" pane. Then click Finish.

Go to c:\winnt\system32\ and delete the file manually.

Download and run VX2Finder(.exe).
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/VX2Finder.exe

Open the program and click the 'Click to Find VX2.aBetterInternet' button. This will attempt to find all VX2 related files and registry keys and when present display them in its logfile. To create a logfile, click the button named: 'Make Log'. This will open logfile using Notepad. Please post (copy/paste) the results and post them in this topic.

Download these two tools:

http://www.downloads.subratam.org/DllCompare.exe
&
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.exe

Run Dllcompare, by clicking the "Run Locate.com" then click Compare button... when done post that log here..do not reboot until I say because all the filenames will change otherwise.

I am going through it now. Will not be long :).

It is important not to reboot until all the following files have been entered.

Stay offline when doing the following fix.

Open killbox and paste in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\cammdlg.dll

With the full path to the file name in the topmost textbox, click the option *replace on reboot* and *Use Dummy* which will create a numbered dummy file instantly for you.

Click the Red X ...and for the confirmation message that will appear, you will need to click Yes
A second message will ask to Reboot now? you will need to click No (since you are not finished adding all related files in yet)

Repeat the above for each of these;

C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\dbvacm.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\en8ul1~1.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\g2400c~1.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\gplsl3~1.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\h04mla~1.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\ianathlp.dll

C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\ir42l5~1.dll

C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\myxmlr.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\plstwpp.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\qwgrprxy.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\rvnd.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\whnrul~1.dll
C:\Windows\System32\Guard.tmp

On that last file, close all programs and Reboot your computer.

Open the registry editor and go to:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify and export that key to your desktop. Call it notify.reg
Right click on it and then edit. Copy and paste the results here.

Post another log from dllcompare please. And another hijackthis log please.

Just spotted a typo I made in my previous post which is probably the reason there are still files to remove :(.

Go offline now.

Open killbox and paste in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\cammdlg.dll

With the full path to the file name in the topmost textbox, click the option *replace on reboot* and *Use Dummy* which will create a numbered dummy file instantly for you.

Click the Red X ...and for the confirmation message that will appear, you will need to click Yes
A second message will ask to Reboot now? you will need to click No (since you are not finished adding all related files in yet)

Repeat the above for each of these;

C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\ir6ul5~1.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\qwgrprxy.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\rvnd.dll
C:\Windows\System32\Guard.tmp

Reboot.

Go here (http://computercops.biz/zx/Zupe/Find-It%20Beta.zip) and download FindIt.zip to your Desktop, unzip it and open the the FindIt folder and doubleclick on find.bat. Let it run (please be patient, it will take a few minutes) and when it has finished gathering info, it will generate a file called Output.txt. Please copy it and paste it back in this thread.
Post another dllcompare log too please.

Looking better :).

Open Killbox and Copy & Paste the path to the Desktop.ini for recycle bin.
ie:

C:\RECYCLER\Desktop.ini

Click Red X to delete it.

Also paste in C:\Windows\System32\Guard.tmp again and click the red X to delete that.

Run VX2Finder and click the *Click to find etc* button. Then hit the *restore policy* button and follow the prompts. Click the *UserAgent$* button and follow the prompts. Exit the program.

Open regedit and go to *HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify* and delete the *Reliability* sub-key and the *SharedDLLs* sub-key .
NOTE. Please back up the *notify* key by exporting it to a safe location. Call it notify.reg.

Please reboot when done and post an hijackthis log, a VX2Finder log and a dllcompare log.

to make sure my pc is clean of spyware i run ad-aware and spybot search and desroy and spy-subtract
to make sure your free of spyware you need to run them atleast once a week
also to remove some types of spyware you have to reboot into safemode (F8)
i also use a program called hoster (allows you to check the host file and has a option to change host file back to microsofts original )

i recomend you use all of the programs listed above to make sure your compleatly free of spyware

At Short-Media, we are aware of Hoster, but don't usually recommend it for several reasons:

- many users have custom HOSTS defined as a result of using various anti-spyware applicatons. Hoster would wipre those out, by simply restoring a blank HOSTS file. a much better method is to keep backup copy of your own HOSTS file under a different name in the same directory (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc) Then if you have bad HOSTS added by spyware, you can just copy your backup over top of the HOSTS file

- any HOSTS can also be managed quickly and easily using Hijack This, you can view them, and remove any bad HOSTS right in the Scan window, and using the advanced tools (Under Config -> Misc Tools) you can open a HOSTS file manager and remove entried there as well.

- You can also make your HOSTS file READ ONLY to help prevent spyware from altering it. This is not foolproof, as spyware can change the permission back and then alter it anyway, but it is helpful in some instances.
