oinadserver popup removal[resolved]

edited February 2006 in Spyware & Virus Removal
I am having trouble with popups, the majority of them of them are coming from oinadserver. I noticed that I have something from elitemediagroup in my download program files and I don't know if this is also causing a problem. Any help that you could provide would be appreciated!

Here is a HijackThis log -

    Can you please do the following.

    Run the PurityScan uninstaller.

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

    Please visit at least two of the following sites for an online virus scan:

    BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan
    http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php
    Make sure you tick AutoClean under Scan Options.

    Panda ActiveScan
    http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
    Make sure you tick Disinfect automatically under Scan Options.

    Housecall at TrendMicro
    http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
    Make sure you tick Auto Clean.
    When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.

    eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner
    http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx

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

    Now, let's open a command prompt by going to the start menu and then select 'Run'.

    In the box that pops up type in 'cmd'. The command prompt will open.

    OR

    You can go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. Unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

    regsvr32 /u owngjmv.dll
    regsvr32 /u tfhgqdp.dll

    It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save typing them in.

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

    Let's look for, and delete, any program segments (prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from your PC. To do this, let's:

    1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

    ??anregw.exe*
    eetu.exe*

    2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

    Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

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

    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:\WINDOWS\system32\??anregw.exe
    C:\Program Files\rdso\eetu.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, then check(tick) the following, if present:


    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = about:blank

    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {B79E1944-80F8-D558-F03B-8EEA1CBC7C92} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\tfhgqdp.dll

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2E07BA49-75F2-7151-A6EE-73D58F25E492} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\owngjmv.dll
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {B79E1944-80F8-D558-F03B-8EEA1CBC7C92} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\tfhgqdp.dll

    O4 - Startup: MX240a.lnk = ?

    O15 - Trusted Zone: http://click.getmirar.com (HKLM)
    O15 - Trusted Zone: http://click.mirarsearch.com (HKLM)
    O15 - Trusted Zone: http://redirect.mirarsearch.com (HKLM)

    O16 - DPF: {9AC54695-69A4-46F1-BE10-10C74F9520D5} - http://cabs.elitemediagroup.net/cabs/mediaview.cab

    O23 - Service: Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\scvhost.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:

    folders...

    C:\Program Files\rdso

    files...

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\tfhgqdp.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\owngjmv.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\scvhost.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".

    -

    Reboot.

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

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

    Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. 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.

    Crunchie,

    Thank you very much for your help. The computer is running much better now, and I've had no popups! I ran the PurityScan uninstaller, Panda ActiveScan and the eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner, and then the rest of your instructions. The only thing I did not do was remove the reference to MX240a. This is some SW that is run at startup for an IMFree device and I was afraid that if I removed it, it might not run???

    Here is the new HijackThis result -

    Does this look ok to you?


    Again, thank you for your help! I really appreciate it.

    The '?' in O4 - Startup: MX240a.lnk = ? indicated a broken shortcut and is why I marked it for deletion. The program will still work without it :). If the shortcut does work, then ignore me.

    ==

    Go to;

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

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass)

    If Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass) exists , right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

    Now navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass)

    If LEGACY_Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass) exists then right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

    ==

    Reboot and if that entry has gone, you are good to go :).

    I was deleted both of the LSASS entries. The

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\R oot\LEGACY_Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass)

    had permission errors, but I was able to change the permissions and delete it.

    Everything seems to be working well!

    Again, I really appreciate your help. :)

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

    Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

    Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera 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, Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D.
    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. 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.

    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,

    crunchie.
