Xadso - Please help. - Frustrated Newbie
If anyone would provide a way out of this, I'd appreciate it.
My wife acquired a lot of viruses the other day, and I've cleaned them all up (panda scan, command anti virus,cwshredder, ad-aware, and spybot) except for on persistant one "Xadso", which seems to be a common topic here.
I know it is Xadso as when a new IE window opens, I can see "Xadso" for a 1/2 second on the tool bar (nice of them to at least give us that clue!).
I've done some reading in this forum on what tools to run, and it's helped a lot so far, but this one seems persistant. I did not run the utilities in safe mode, should I have?
Here is my hijackthis log (first time I've used the program).
I'm affraid to touch this stuff, not understanding all of it, but I would guess that "Web Offer\wo.exe" is not good.
again, any help would be appreciated.

boot into safe mode and remove the following entries with hijackthis:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183} - C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools\WToolsB.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime (resource hog, optional removal)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TV Media] C:\Program Files\TV Media\Tvm.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [vnfqadvdwsa] C:\WINNT\System32\qqhchr.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [eZWO] C:\PROGRA~1\Web Offer\wo.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [shell32] C:\WINNT\System32\shell32.exe (appears to be a trojan/backdoor)
now, delete the following files:
C:\WINNT\localNRD.dll
C:\Program Files\TV Media (delete this folder)
C:\WINNT\System32\qqhchr.exe
C:\PROGRAM FILES\Web Offer\ (delete this folder)
move this file:
C:\WINNT\System32\shell32.exe
to a folder on your hard drive called c:\quarantine, and rename it to:
shell32.xxx
reboot and be sure to tell us if it worked or not.
1)localNRD.dll was not in c:\winnt\. I did find it in c:\documents and settings\steve\local settings\temp\thi2d4.tmp so I moved it from there to a floppy in case I needed it later.
2) c:\program files\tv media does not exist. the folder tv media is not on the computer if I search for tv. I have the view set to show hidden folders and files.
3) the folder web offer also does not exist.
Everything else you mentioned went pretty smooth.
Here is a re-run of my HJT log, run from normal mode. Anything else I should delete?
I don't need the pandascan or the trend micro active scan, should I get rid of them?

Do not worry about the DSO warnings in Spybot. That is a bug. Make sure your Windows updates are up to date, and they are not a problem.
