xlime offeroptimizer and infinite IE windows!

Unknown

I've run the updated adaware and spybot, i have two problems one is the xlime.offeroptimizer popup which I've targeted with Noads but it STILL shows up. The other (may or may not be related) is that sometimes if I open internet explorer, the program opens like 40 copies of the same webpage one by one, freezing my computer. If i go to a webpage from my computer though, by typing it in, it doesnt happen, but if I open a new window, it most likely will. Obviously this is reeeally annoying!

heres my log:

Thanks a lot!

I see that you are running msconfig in /auto mode which means that you may have selectively removed some items in the past from the startup procedure. This can be bad if they are malware, so we would like you to reenable those startup entries by doing the following:

Please click on start, then run, and type msconfig and then press enter. When the window opens click on the startup tab and make sure there are checkmarks in every entry. Then press ok until you are out of the program. If it asks to reboot, do not reboot.

Now please create a new Hijackthis Log and post it as a reply.

I ran msconfig as instructed and all of the entries already had checkmarks in them, then I exited.

:crossing my fingers that everything's okay:

Grinler

Note, please read this carefully, as the steps do repeat a few times, but the last step does change a bit

Download killbox here:

KillBox


Unzip the folder to your desktop.

Start Killbox.exe

Select the Delete on reboot option.

In the field labeled "Full path of file to delete" enter C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\JULIE~1.JUL\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\agvipat.dat

Then press the button that looks like a red circle with a white X in it.

When it asks if you would like to Reboot now, press the NO button.


Next In the field labeled "Full path of file to delete" enter C:\WINDOWS\Config\utilreg.exe

Then press the button that looks like a red circle with a white X in it.

When it asks if you would like to Reboot now, press the NO button.


Next In the field labeled "Full path of file to delete" enter C:\WINDOWS\addins\tapivga.exe

Then press the button that looks like a red circle with a white X in it.

When it asks if you would like to Reboot now, press the NO button.


Next In the field labeled "Full path of file to delete" enter c:\windows\system32\hostx.exe

Then press the button that looks like a red circle with a white X in it.

When it asks if you would like to Reboot now, press the YES button.

Your computer will reboot and check to see if the file is gone.


When it reboots, fix these entries in hijackthis:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [*utilreg] C:\WINDOWS\Config\utilreg.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [*tapivga] C:\WINDOWS\addins\tapivga.exe

Reboot and post a new log

Grinler

Just fix these 2 and you should be all good:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd={SUB_PRD}&clcid={SUB_CLSID}&pver={SUB_PVER}&ar=home
O1 - Hosts: ww.gbs.gator.com

Log looks clean...great job!

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

1. Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and reenable 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:
   
   http://www.short-media.com/forum/showpost.php?p=172591
   
   Disable and re-enable system restore with instructions from the tutorial above
   
   
2. Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
   1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
   2. Click once on the Security tab
   3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
   4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
      1. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
         
      2. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
         
      3. Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
         
      4. Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
         
      5. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
         
      6. Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
         
      7. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
         
      8. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
   5. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
   
   
3. Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
   
   See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:
   
   Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources
   
   
4. 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.
   
   
5. 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
   
   
6. 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.
   
   
7. Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime 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 antivirus software.
   
   A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
   
   Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers
   
   
8. 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
   
   
9. 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
   
   
10. 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.

Glad I was able to help.
