popuppers.com nightmare

[flybyday]

Arg. I got infected with popuppers.com (keeps redirecting my browser and keeps openning that random page) and it will not go away. I ran AdAware about 30 times and norton and a Windows malware detector. No success.

I saw some older posts on here about this website and I was hoping I could get some help.

I've already downloaded HJT and I've run it. It won't let me "Run and Save" (Windows always tells me it's generated an error). So, I've run it, then saved the log file, but, I'm not sure where it's saving to.

can anyone help me so I can post the log file and then hopefully get rid of this pest?

THanks

What error ae you getting in hijackthis? Try doing a scan only and when thats done, try saving a log then. Save the log to your desktop.

Lastly, I keep getting regular popups from AVG offering antispyware alerting me to the ones that it couldn't fix -- should I try to have it quarantine them again? I didn't want to do that without checking either.

Thanks again for all your help -- each time I post, I'm more impressed with the reply.

Thanks.

Here is some more work for you :).

Can you please do the following.

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

Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

SpyBlocs
WebHancer

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

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

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINNT\mmxonehour.exe
C:\WINNT\mmpopoct.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

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

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

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)

c:\winnt\system32\rabysq.exe
C:\WINNT\sys02206991341-1.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\msjava.exe
C:\WINNT\zeta.exe

Search for...

dxclib303562752.dll

...using "Start | Search...".

-

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.

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

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html). If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

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

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

So, I've still got Deluxe Communications clogging me up at R3 and O4.

The issues I've had removing it are these:

(1) HJT can't seem to "fix" Deluxe Communications at R3 and O4 - I run it, check the box, and "fix," but, then when I scan again, it's always right back there... I think it might have something to do with the fact that...

(2) My computer keeps telling me I can't delete dxclib30356752.dll. I cannot delete it in Safe Mode, either. In fact, the first time I ran HJT and tried to fix it, I got an error message. This leads me to:

(3) should I just have AVG clean and quarantine? AVG keeps pulling up C\winnt\system32\dxclib30356752.dll and something about deluxe communications... should I try that?


Thanks again -- you've been a great help!

[Crunchie]

1. Please download The Avenger (http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/avenger.zip) by Swandog46 to your Desktop. Click on Avenger.zip to open the file Extract avenger.exe to your desktop

2. Copy all the text (including the 'Files to delete,' the 'Folders to delete: and the 'Programs to launch on reboot:' lines) contained in the code box below to your clipboard by highlighting it and pressing Ctrl+C:

Files to delete:
C\winnt\system32\dxclib30356752.dll
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\df_kmd.sys
C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\DxcCore.dll
C:\WINNT\System32/dxclib30356272.dll
C:\WINNT\System32/dxclib303562752.dll
C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\Dxc.exe
C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\DxcBho.dll

Folders to delete:
C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications

Programs to launch on reboot:
C:\Program Files\Hijackthis\HijackThis.exe


Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.
Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script"
Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing (Ctrl+V).
Click Done
Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.
4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:
It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log by using Add/Reply

[flybyday]

OK - ran avenger (although, there was a terrifying moment where just HJT came up, I just had it run the program, then, quit, then windows loaded, then Avenger Black Box (of doom) came up -- did I do that right? And is that normal?)

Anyway, HJT log still shows those stupid Deluxe Communications things : see below -- Avenger Log first -- HJT log second

Any new ideas?

Sorry this is taking so long!!!! I will never try to figure out how to play this stupid video game, EVER AGAIN!!!

[Crunchie]

Can you please do the following.

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

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


R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {A8BD6820-6ED7-423E-9558-2D1486B0FEEA} - C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\DxcBho.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DeluxeCommunications] C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\Dxc.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [DeluxeCommunications] C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\Dxc.exe

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: dxclib303562752.dll


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

==

Run Avenger again and enter the following into the window that pops up;

Files to delete:
C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\Dxc.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\dxclib303562752.dll

Folders to delete:
C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications

Follow the instructions given previously to complete the Avenger process.

Post new logs again please.

[flybyday]

After I run Avenger, when my computer restarts, and HJT appears before any of the desktop items, should I try to "Fix" those instances again, or, should they not occur at all? I'm not sure what to do after Avenger runs, and HJT pops up, but, before I repost a log... do I just exit? or run it and exit?

Thanks!

[flybyday]

Ok -- nevermind the last post. Sorry bout that.

I ran HJT and Avenger again. Here are the logs (Avenger first, then HJT):

So, the Deluxe Communications (O4) and dxclib (O20) entries are still showing up. BUT! NO MORE POPUPS!!! I've used IE for about 15 minutes now, and not a single one. Plus, AVG is running, and I'm not getting AVG popups anymore telling me that there's malware present.

So, is it actually gone, or, does the HJT log show otherwise?


THanks!!!!!! At least those pop ups are gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crunchie]

There are still entries in your log, so let's have a look with another tool.

Go here (http://www.silentrunners.org/) and download then run Silent Runners.vbs. Right click on the download link and select Save Target As. Save it to the desktop or to a folder in a permanent directory. It generates a log which will be created in the same folder you are running it from. Please post the information back in this thread.
If you have a script blocking program, please allow the file to run. It is not malicious.

[flybyday]

Okey dokey --

here's the new log from Silent Runners --

At the time of me posting this reply, it's 5.25 am. Just about to leave for work :).
Silent runners is telling me that those files are now gone, so I need you to just fix the following entries and you should be good to go. Please make certain that before you hit the 'fix' button in hijackthis, that you have every Internet Explorer window closed.

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

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


R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {A8BD6820-6ED7-423E-9558-2D1486B0FEEA} - C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\DxcBho.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DeluxeCommunications] C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\Dxc.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [DeluxeCommunications] C:\Program Files\DeluxeCommunications\Dxc.exe

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: dxclib303562752.dll


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

Reboot.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log just to be sure those entries are gone.

holy crap.

Can you look it over and just let me know if it's officially gone?

Thanks for your absolutely fabulous amounts of help here... I'd have been a goner...

[Crunchie]

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

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

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.

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

If you have any more problems, post back.

Happy surfing,
