  Hi thunder
  
  First, move HijackThis into its own folder -> C:\hjt
  
  Then:
  
  Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.
  http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
  Extract all the files to your Desktop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.
  
  Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
  Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter
  This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.
  
  IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!

  Hi thunder
  
  That looks pretty good
  
  One thing to do:
  
  Open HijackThis, click do a system scan only, checkmark this and press fix checked:
  
  O20 - Winlogon Notify: winrvc32 - winrvc32.dll (file missing)
  
  Reboot and send a fresh HjT log (and not as an attachment this time )

  Well, go to Windows Explorer. Then choose Local Disk (C: ), then Documents and settings -> All users -> Desktop. Find a file with that name, right-click and select properities.
  
  If you can't find it, replace All users with your username in Windows.

  Yes, I know it´s a movie clip but I doesn't help much
  You need to make file extensions visible ->
  http://www.computertim.com/howto/article.php?topic=windows&idn=73
  And tell me after that what's the file extension (avi, mpg etc.)

  0
• thunder

  May 2006 edited May 2006

  its a .mpg, cause when i look at other movie clips they are mpgs as well, so im assuming its the same. B/C all other movie clips are mpg, every single one.

  I'll try first with short filename:
  
  1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.

  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop

  
  2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):
  

  Files to delete:
  C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\My Documents\My Downloads\LW\Golden~1.mpg
  C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\My Documents\My Downloads\LW\Golden~1.avi

  
  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

  You´re welcome
  
  Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
  

  • Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.
    
    You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:
    
    Managing Windows Millenium System Restore
    
    or
    
    Windows XP System Restore Guide

  
  Reenable system restore with instructions from tutorial above
  

  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
  • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    
  • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    
  • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    
  • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    
  • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    
  • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    
  • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    
  • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

  • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
    
    
  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
    
    For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
    
    Understanding and Using Firewalls
    
    
  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
    
    
  • Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
    
    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    
    Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer
    
    
  • Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option.
    
    This will provide real-time spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    
    Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware
    
    
  • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
    
    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    
    Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
    
    
  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

  Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
  
  Here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety
  

  • IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
  • Winpatrol <= Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
    Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software

  
  Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints <--- where you can make difference!
  
  The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.
  
  Also, please read this great article by Tony Klein So How Did I Get Infected In First Place
  
  Happy surfing and stay clean!
