Home Search Assistant - Log file from HijackThis

Unknown
edited February 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hey all,

I'm trying to fix a friend's laptop and I've been using the advice on your forums. I've run the latest versions of Ad-Aware and Spy-bot as well as Norton Antivirus.

The following is the log file from HijackThis. Any advice that you may have on how to proceed further is greatly appreciated. Whatever is wrong with this kid's computer, it's tough. I can't even open up Windows Explorer or My Computer. I can't figure this one out!

Thanks for your help.

    Does the desktop look ok?


    Please follow these steps to remove the HSA from your computer.

    Step 1
    Download(right click and select Save file as or Save link as): DelDomains.inf
    http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelDomains.inf

    Close all open browsers
    Right-click DelDomains.inf and select: Install


    Step 2
    Download this tool called AboutBuster http://www.downloads.subratam.org/AboutBuster.zip
    Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet.


    Step 3
    Download Adaware SE Personal from http://www.lavasoft.de/english/default.shtml. Install and open Adaware and click on *Check for Updates Now* and then *Connect*. It will find a new reference-file. Click *ok* and let it download and install the updates by clicking on *Finish* .This will return you to the main screen. Exit Adaware.


    Step 4
    Print out these instructions so you have them handy as most of the steps need to be done in safe mode and you may not be able to go online.


    Step 5
    Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files.
    Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
    Click "Apply" then "OK"


    Step 6
    Next, go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok

    Scroll down and find the service called Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper. When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.


    Step 7
    Reboot to Safe Mode
    Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode. To get back to normal mode just restart the computer as you normally would.


    Step 8
    Scan with Hijack This and put checks next to all the following, then click "Fix Checked"


    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\rgipu.dll/sp.html#27859

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\w?nspool.exe

    Double click AboutBuster.exe that you downloaded earlier. Click OK, click Start, then click OK. This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them. Save the report(copy and paste into notepad or wordpad and save as a .txt file) and post a copy back here when you are done with all the steps.


    Step 10
    Scan with Adaware and let it remove any bad files found.


    Step 11
    Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press *ok* to remove:

    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    Step 12
    Reboot to normal mode, scan again with Hijack This and post a new log here.


    Step 13
    Finally, do an online scan at one of the following sites. Let it remove any infected files found.
    http://housecall.antivirus.com
    or
    http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm


    Post a fresh HijackThis log and the AboutBuster report back here please.
