Need assistance

[jkir]

I just removed the following Backdoor.HacDef.fv and Proxybobax.t. by ewido antispyware in safemode. I just ran HijackThis in regular mode. Will you look to see if I need to remove anything else?

[Crunchie]

Can you please do the following.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


O23 - Service: Print Spooler Service (SpoolSvc224) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\cjnr4r4dvnldvog.exe
O23 - Service: Service Cache Terminal (SVCTERM) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\svscache.exe


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders: (http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html)

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cjnr4r4dvnldvog.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svscache.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following: Restart your computer After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear. Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

[jkir]

First I apologize for reply on another thread. Realized it was incorrect after I hit post.

Ok, here is a new HJT file after check marking 2 items above and "fix this" button. As you see after reboot those files are still there. (I did this twice thinking I did a step incorrectly) Although after doing this my firewall is back on!! Yeah. I could not find the files/folder that were mentioned above. On reboot a limeWire popup comes on for new updates. Could this be a problem. What do you think?

[Crunchie]

Go to;

Start>>Run and type regedit
Press enter.
Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Print Spooler Service (SpoolSvc224)

If Print Spooler Service (SpoolSvc224) exists , right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

Now navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_Print Spooler Service (SpoolSvc224)

If LEGACY_Print Spooler Service (SpoolSvc224) exists then right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

Do the same for Service Cache Terminal (SVCTERM)

==

I notice that you have Limewire in your startup folder, so perhaps there is an update available :).

[jkir]

I was able to remove both from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\

but I coudn't remove from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\R oot\LEGACY_

"Error ocurred while deleting"; I also tried to delete in safe mode. Same error...

If needed I have attached a new HJT file:

[Crunchie]

That isn't a problem :). How are things with the PC now?

[jkir]

It seems to be working fine. I appreciate your assistance. Thank you.

[Crunchie]

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Download CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp) and install, then run it. It will clear out your temp folders.

Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
Close when finished.


Secure your Internet Explorer by going here (http://bshagnasty.home.att.net/browsersettings.htm) and following the instructions there.

Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera (http://www.opera.com/download/) which in my opinion, is better still.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, Ewido anti-malware, (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Ewido_security_suite_d4677.html) Ad-Aware SE (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and Spybot S&D. (http://www.computercops.biz/zx/phoenix22/spybotsd13.zip)
Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Check for Windows Updates. (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.


Clear your Temp folders.
Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.
Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here. (http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html)

Empty the Recycle Bin.

For XP users.
After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
To flush the XP system Restore Points.

Go to Start>Run and type msconfig. Press enter.

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

Note that all previous restore points will be lost.
