bestfriends.scr has altered IE security settings

edited November 2004 in Spyware & Virus Removal
My friends use my computer and somehow I got the bestfriends.scr virus. I downloaded AIMFix and that got rid of it from affecting AIM. However, now Internet Explorer displays that blinking yellow Information Bar (just under the address bar) everytime I load a website saying, "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..." This is something new from Microsoft for Windows XP users. It is part of the new Security Center from Windows Update.

Anyway, I have tried EVERYTHING that I can possibly think of to stop Internet Explorer from showing me the Information Bar at every website. I have tried to change the Pop-Up ad settings, I ran McAfee Virus Scan (which picked up a couple random trojans and got rid of them), I did a complete system scan with Ad-Aware AND Spybot. I have checked and re-checked the programs running on my computer and followed the step-by-step instructions in this forum to get rid of the virus. I have reset the Security Settings in IE to their default levels, ran HiJackThis (log below), I have even deleted the virus entries in the Run folders in the registry and from msconfig.

All I want is to have IE back to its normal working self (I cant even log into eBay anymore!). IE thinks that every website is trying to load Active X script content and it prompts me with that yellow Information Bar and I have to click "Yes allow this website to display active content" at every site.

Please help, any tips, thoughts, advice, prior experiences are greatly greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Matt

    You should download LSPfix from our security downloads page (link in my sig). Then have it fix CONNWSP.DLL

    After you do that, reboot, and post a new log :)

    primesuspect,

    I have downloaded and ran LSPfix and fixed the CONNWSP.DLL file (which was already under the Remove column, I just highlighted it and clicked the Finish button), I also restarted the computer and ran HJT. However, LSPfix did not make that annoying yellow Information Bar go away. This is my new HJT log:

    I am guessing that the file AOLacsd.exe could be part of the virus? I dont know, but I cannot begin to explain how grateful I am that you are helping me. I appreciate your help very much and if anyone else reading this has a clue to fix this annoyance please pitch in! Thanks again primesuspect!

    Alright, now that your LSP stack has been fixed, we can go ahead and fix the rest of it :)

    See this process?

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe

    What I need you to do is end it - hit ctrl alt del to get to task manager, go to the processes tab, and then END that process.

    Now, go to C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\ and rename VS7DEBUG to VS7DEBUG.OLD

    After you rename that folder, reboot and post a new log :mullet:
  • edited October 2004
    Sorry I haven't replied in a while. I am very busy with my new business. Anyway, I changed the name of the folder like you said, rebooted and here is my new log. Thanks so much for your help!!! I apprecaite it!!!!

    Is the problem solved now, or do you still have trouble?

    If you still have trouble, try going into IE, click Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level, then Reset Custom Settings to Medium and click the RESET button. Click Yes, then OK and OK. Close IE, re-open it, and try some pages.

    Let us know if that helps.

    I screwed around with the advanced settings and got the bar to go away but thats only temporary fix. I'd like to find this file on my computer that keeps trying to run some active content and get rid of it. Thats my concern is getting rid of it all together.
  • edited October 2004
    I have been having this same problem. I downloaded and ran that lspfix thing and it didnt find that file you listed above. That mdm.exe process is running though, so I guess that is a start. Should I just follow your instructions from there to remove this?

    Also, what is causing this problem? I guess I just dont understand why it keeps sending that information bar down? Does this fix solve the porblem or just prevent that bar from comming down?

    And does renaming that folder prevent any program from working? If not, cant we just delete that folder?

    Anyway, after my last issue was resolved here, I decided to download firefox, and i have been using it for about 2 weeks now and i really like it. Thanks for the suggestions and help.

    Alright Heres the deal...I used to get the whole away message deal and stuff with aim, but I d/led aimfix and it cleaned it out so it doesnt do that anymore. But the other thing that started happening at the same time as the aim away message prob. that didnt get removed is whenever i go to ANY WEBSITE, under the address bar I get that yellow bar that says, "To help protect yoru security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..." IM sick of it and i want to get rid of it!!! I have no clue where to start! here is my first hijackthis log....(ps, i dont know if i even did this right lol....let me know if I didnt...)

    Not an expert here but I had the same problem and simply did a system restore. Everything seems to have gotten back to normal...hope that helps.

    System restore doesn't delete anything.

    Okay, this is VERY risky. If you do one thing wrong here, your whole computer, or parts of it, may not function correctly, or at all. To get to the registry, click "Start" then "run" and type in "Regedit" (without the quotes). Now click the + signs next to HKey_Current_User then Software, etc until you get down to "http". Then in the right pane, right click the entry that is set to 0, and click "Modify". Change the 0 to a 3. Now close Regedit, and you should be all set.

    I got as far as clicking the software plus mark, and then there is no "http" thing that im suppose to click on. Triple checked and its not there! :eek:

    Did you also look in the right pane for http? I haven't been through my registry for a while so I'm not exactly sure where the key is located.

    Checking the right pane....do you mean clicking on each program under the program tab and checking everything that comes up on the right? (after clicking the plus sign by programs, all my programs come up and when i click on one, what the folder contains is displayed in the right pane)

    that seems to have fixed it for me... oh well, it doesn't matter anymore anyway, because i have gotten used to using firefox... any clue what would have changed that setting?

    Thanks for the help

    Hey OLSON2K I finally got the info bar to stop popping up on me. Just follow the directions in folder order that is posted by wanggen on 11-04 :

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows --> CurrentVersion --> Internet Settings--> ZoneMap --> ProtocolDefaults

    change the key (http) from 0 to 3
    How to change the key: Right-Click on http in the right pane, Click on Modify, Change value data from 0 to 3.

    The Information Bar has finally been defeated! Oh yeah, you will find that you can now access Hotmail, Ebay, or any other site that uses Java or runs active content.

    Like I said in the other thread, I tried to try it out, but that (http) value is already set to '3' on all my rigs. :confused: I tried changing it from '3' to '0' and it had no effect.
