I've run AdAware, Spybot, a virus scan, and HijackThis a number of times. I also tried the Search Assistant Removal Guide, but nothing seems to work. Please help. My HijackThis Log is as follows:

Please download CWShredder but don't run it yet.
http://cwshredder.net/bin/CWSInstall.exe


Download Ad-aware SE from: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html

Install the program and launch it. First, in the main window, look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now and download the latest reference files. Exit Adaware for now.


Make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

How to see hidden files in Windows

Run Hijackthis again, click scan, and Put a checkmark next to each of these. Then close all other windows--you should only see HijackThis on your Desktop--and click the Fix Checked button.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dnscleaner] C:\WINDOWS\DNSCLEANER.EXE



Reboot your computer into Safe Mode


Now run CWShredder, making sure to click "Fix".


Then delete these files or directories (Do not be concerned if they do not exist)

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\AKGNDAA.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\DNSCLEANER.EXE


Delete everything in this folder, but not the folder itself.

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP


Run a full scan with Adaware.

Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode and post a new log.

Thanks for your help; it seems that everything is working, but I've had temporary success like this in the past, so my hopes aren't too high. Here is my new log:

You're right. This infection can be very difficult to remove. If it does come back you will need to post a new hijackthis log using the current version of hijackthis. The version you have now is badly outdated.

[*]Reboot your machine in normal mode, run HijackThis and post a new log here using the Add Reply button. Let me know how you went on and how things are running now.

jeff102886

I am on step one now. I could not find IJS.BAK, but I found an IOS.BAK. Are the two the same thing?

Jeff

Buckeye_Sam

No, it's not likely that it is. Let's try a different method.

Download the attached file and extract it to your desktop.
Now double click on fix.reg and OK the prompt.


Now go from Start to Shutdown and select Reboot to MS DOS.

You should see C:\Windows

type: ren IJS.BAK BADIJS.OLD

click enter

type exit



Now find and delete C:\Windows\BADIJS.OLD

Then follow the rest of the steps as outlined in my previous post. Let me know if you have any problems.

jeff102886

New problem: I extracted the fix to my desktop, double-clicked fix.reg, and okayed the prompt. However, after okaying the prompt, I received an error message saying:"Cannot import C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\FIX\FIX.REG: The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import registry files." What do i do now?

Jeff

Buckeye_Sam

Delete that one and try this one instead.

jeff102886

Buckeye_Sam

Please remove these entries from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel(if present):

Viewpoint Manager
Viewpoint Media Player


Then delete this folder.

C:\Program Files\Viewpoint



Beyond that, your log looks clean to me.


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 left over from what we have just cleaned.
   
   You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:
   
   Managing Windows Millenium System Restore
   
   or
   
   Windows XP System Restore Guide
   
   Renable system restore with instructions from 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.

Thanks for all of your help with this problem. If it ever comes back, I'll be sure to return to this forum.
