Got a virus today

Tim

My system - Windows XP Home SP1. Got one of those real annoying viruses that changes the home page. Even though one scan said it was in a temporary internet file, deleting the TIFs didn't fix it.

A Blaster 32 worm scan didn't fix it, Norton SystemWorks 2003 says it can't fix it, although it removed 5 out of 6 viruses / bad files, AdAware 6, Spybot S&D 1.3, and Spyware Blaster 3.3 haven't helped either. Maybe if I had the ZoneAlarm 5.5 firewall turned on it would've caught it.

One report from Norton said it was in C:\WINDOWS\ntuu.exe , but a search for that file found nothing.

Another Norton search said it was located at C:/Documents & Settings\Tim\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.ie5\oda.joxif\proc[1].jar

Here's a log file from HiJack This!:

Any ideas on how to fix it?

primesuspect

Tim, update to the latest version of HJT: 1.99.1

You can find it on our security downloads page.

Post a log with that.

Tim

That Admilli service one won't go away, I tried checking its box and deleting it 4 times. I keep getting pop up ads advertising someone's ad cleaner program. And it resets the home page to about:blank over and over. Yeah, right - I'll buy it. :banghead:

I'll update to 1.99.1 and try again.

Buckeye_Sam

You have got an HSA infection, with a few others thrown in.

Please download the current version of Hijackthis and post a new hijackthis log.

http://www.short-media.com/download.php?d=245


The new version will produce a log that contains critical information to deal with your infection.

Tim

What's an HSA infection?

I can run the new version of Hijack This 1.99.1, but it doesn't want to install on my system.

The problems I have keep popping up ads to get rid of the spyware (for a price, I'm sure), keeps changing the home page to about:blank, and keeps setting off a Norton warning that there's a virus but it can't fix it.

I went into Task Manager and ended the process trees for the Admilli thing and then I was able to delete it, but the other aforementioned problems remain.

I think I got rid of Admilli, but the home page keeps getting reset to about:blank, and Norton keeps popping open warning screens constantly.

Tim, you have Home Search Assistant. RC1974, please let Buckeye_Sam help tim because he handles dozens of HSA infections a day, and he knows what he is doing to a high degree of efficiency. You cannot remove this in one easy step.

Sorry - my intention was not to insult you. It's just that virus removals go easier when there is only one helper per problem because there is no communication between helpers, so advice can be duplicated or skipped because of that. I didn't mean to insult you by any means.

Tim

I did delete that R3 line this afternoon, and then I ran Hijack This a few minutes later and it was back again.

I got the Admilli out by ending their process trees in Task Manager, and then I deleted the files I had found. This afternoon when I ran Hijack This, there was an Admilli to remove. I took it out and when I checked again it wasn't back in.

Buckeye_Sam

I used this HJT Detective on my b-in-law's system a few months ago and it helped a bunch. As for Tim's log, all it shows as Malicious is this

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
(Description: This will fix the search mechanism in IE.)

There's much more than this line that's malicious in this hijackthis log, as you will see.

I got the Admilli out by ending their process trees in Task Manager, and then I deleted the files I had found. This afternoon when I ran Hijack This, there was an Admilli to remove. I took it out and when I checked again it wasn't back in.

Admilli is malware, but it's not your biggest problem.


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

Step 1
Download cwsserviceremove.zip and extract it to your desktop:
http://lineofire.geekstogo.com/cwsserviceremove.zip


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 Workstation NetLogon Service. 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\pltry.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\pltry.dll/sp.html#44768

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipxk32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\iplw.dll
C:\WINDOWS\pltry.dll
C:\WINDOWS\msss.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\wmmf




Step 9
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
Find the cwsserviceremove.reg that you downloaded in Step one. Double click on the cwsserviceemove.reg Answer ‘Yes’ when asked to have its contents added to the Registry.


Step 13
Reboot to normal mode, scan again with Hijack This and post a new log here.


Step 14
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.

Tim

Even after doing all the proceedures and deleting the specified files twice from Hijack This, the files still come back and the computer still has problems.

I couldn't get AboutBuster to work, it said it had a corrupted file.

Norton kept going off on appon.exe being a bad file, so I went back into safe mode and deleted it. Now Norton's going off constantly on another file!

Can I just do a XP repair installation on this hard drive? But only if it doesn't affect any other data on it.

This is getting on my nerves. If I ever find the person who wrote these damn spyare files, he'll wish I never found him. :Pwned:

Those housecall and panda programs didn't work either.

When I tried to download / use AboutBuster, it only downloaded a 62.3 KB file, then it said the database was corrupted or missing.

Buckeye_Sam

Let's try another method since you can't get AboutBuster. You should also be aware that the filenames can change every time you reboot or use Internet Explorer. So your hijackthis log may look slightly different with regards to those filenames. But if you look at it carefully you should be able to determine the pattern and see which files need to be deleted. I bolded the bad files from your hijackthis log in the fix below.


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.

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\xeveq.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winjy.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieqy32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nethr32.exe

Also delete any of these files or folders(if found) that were picked up the virus scan.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\adcache
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Gain Publishing
C:\Program Files\kazaa\topsearch.dll
C:\Program Files\Kazaa\bdcore.dll

C:\WINDOWS\system32\tsuninst.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xmlparse.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xmltok.dll
C:\WINDOWS\xeveq.dll


Delete temp files

Navigate to the C:\Windows\Temp folder. Open the Temp folder and go to Edit > Select All then Edit > Delete to delete the entire contents of the Temp folder.

Navigate to the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. Open the Prefetch folder and go to Edit > Select All then Edit > Delete to delete the entire contents of the Prefetch folder.

Go to Start > Run and type %temp% in the Run box. The Temp folder will open. Click Edit > Select All then Edit > Delete to delete the entire contents of the Temp folder.

Finally go to Control Panel > Internet Options. On the General tab under "Temporary Internet Files" Click "Delete Files". Put a check by "Delete Offline Content" and click OK. Click on the Programs tab then click the "Reset Web Settings" button. Click Apply then OK.

Empty the Recycle Bin.


Run a full scan with Adaware.

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

Tim

Here's the new log file. I ran HJT and deleted a bunch of files, including some that weren't in the list. Anything that I didn't recognize.

Then I did the rest of the things in the instructions. I ran the Ad Aware SE scan twice because it found something like 41 files. The second time it found the Top Search dll file that had been previously deleted, and the third time I ran the scan I deleted the 47 "minor" objects it had shown before.

So far it seems to be working correctly, thanks for the help!

Tim

Everything seems to be working right, but My Kazaa 2.0.2 won't connect to the internet.

Any ideas for fixing that?

I got the Home Search Assistant off my computer, but now my Kazaa 2.0.2 won't connect. It'll open, but it won't connect to the internet for searches.

I've uninstalled and deleted ALL the kazaa files (using the search function) and reinstalled 2.0.2 twice, but it still won't connect!

I think it has something to do with the Top Search.dll file.

I need this fixed, as much as I needed the spyware off my system.

Buckeye_Sam

Tim please don't start a new thread every time you have a question that doesn't get answered right away. It won't get you an answer any faster and just creates confusion.

Your Kazaa doesn't work because it's bundled with spyware(unless you have the paid version). We removed the spyware so now your Kazaa won't work for you. If using Kazaa is important enough to you that you are willing to accept having spyware on your computer then all you need to do is reinstall Kazaa.

However there are other options for file sharing programs that won't add spyware to your system. Check out this article.

http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/p2p/



You are still showing the remnants of your HSA infection.

Download cwsserviceremove.zip:
http://lineofire.geekstogo.com/cwsserviceremove.zip


Now reboot into Safe Mode and have hijackthis fix this line.

O23 - Service: Workstation NetLogon Service ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\nethr32.exe (file missing)


Now unzip the file your downloaded earlier. A cwsserviceremove.reg file is created inside the folder. Double click on the cwsserviceemove.reg Answer ‘Yes’ when asked to have its contents added to the Registry.


Reboot and post what will hopefully be your last hijackthis log.

Tim

The O10 entries refuse to delete, I tried about 5 times. And the nethr32 file says it's missing. I'm still getting pop up ads and can't get into Kazaa.

I've deleted and reloaded Kazaa, but it still doesn't work. It should've gotten all its ads back with it. I can't just go and reload Kazaa from the website, because I have and like Version 2.0.2, whereas they're up to version 3 or something by now. Maybe I'll have to upgrade or something.

10 minutes alone with the ******* who wrote this spyware... that's all I need...

Buckeye_Sam

First you should stop trying to fix things on your own if you don't know what you are doing. You should never fix a 010 line with hijackthis. Doing so could cause you to lose your internet connection.

Secondly if you insist upon using Kazaa I don't see any point in my continuing to clean you up. New.net is a new infection that you picked up since you reisintalled Kazaa. This could go on and on....

So your options are to keep Kazaa and the spyware and viruses that will undoubtedly come with it, or to get rid of Kazaa and use a clean file sharing program. Only then can you run a clean system. The choice is yours.

primesuspect

Tim, Kazaa is bundled with spyware. If you agree to the license agreement, you are agreeing to install spyware on your system, so how can we help you remove it if you are agreeing to install it? Read the license agreement that comes with Kazaa.

I'm aware of the spyware in Kazaa, and it's never caused me a problem. I've had Kazaa 2.0.2 for a couple years now. I know where this latest wave of spyware came from, and it wasn't Kazaa. One moment the computer was fine, a click later, and it's screwing up left and right for about 4-5 days until I got it fixed.

Does this Home Search Assistant use the Workstation NetLogon Service to get into your computer, like other spyware programs got in through Windows Messenger? Is that their big trick to get onto your system?

If so, I'll start disabling the Workstation NetLogon Service on computers I fix, in addition to Windows Messenger.
