Good Morning Everyone,

I have been snagged by the about:blank virus/worm/hijack (parasite) and I have tried several methods to remove this nasty thing from my computer. Unfortunately I have been unable to permanently remove this nasty thing and was hoping someone could lend me some assistance.

I first received Virus warnings from Norton Anti-virus that I had the following viruses and they could not be deleted (e.g. d3jt32.exe, crga32.exe, ipeo32.exe, mfclf32.exe). I ran Ad-Adware Se which removed a couple of items, but my IE browser remained hijacked.

I tried to run trendmicro.com virus scan but it would error out and close my IE window. I ran Panda Active Scan and it removed a couple of items.

I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy and CWshredder. I rebooted my PC into Safe Mode and ran: Norton Anti-virus, Ad-Adware SE, Spybot Search and Destroy and CWshredder (which this caused my pc to crash). All of these cleaned up a couple of items or showed nothing to clean up.

I went into my folder options and verified "show hidden files and folders" is selected.

After I ran all of these programs above, I opened up IE and there was my virus warnings with Norton's anti-virus and my default screen on IE was back to about:blank. I ran a copy of HijackThis and have posted here to see what I have missed.

Thank you for any assistance that you can provide in this matter.

This log file was created after I performed all the operations above and returned to regular mode.

    You have an HSA infection. The filenames on this type of infection can change each time you reboot your computer or use Internet Explorer. With that in mind, some of these filenames may be different. But the pattern is the same and you may be able to determine the correct files to remove. The sooner you perform this fix, the higher it's chances for success.

    Much of this fix has to be performed in Safe Mode where you won't be able to access the Internet.

    Please print out these instructions.


    Step 1
    Download CWShredder but don't run it yet.


    Step 2
    Download AboutBuster
    Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet.


    Step 3
    Download Ad-aware SE 1.06
    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.


    Step 5
    Make sure that you can VIEW ALL HIDDEN FILES.


    Step 6
    Reboot your computer into SAFE MODE


    Step 7
    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.

    Step 8
    Now run CWShredder, making sure to click "Fix".


    Step 9
    Then delete these files or directories (Do not be concerned if they do not exist)

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysmw32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3fq.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\winvm32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\ipqx.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\gsqxy.dll


    Step 10
    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 11
    Run a full scan with Adaware.


    Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode and post a new hijackthis log and the log from About Buster.

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

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

    This should remove those 015 entries.



    Aside from that, your log looks clean. Are you having any more problems?

    I'm glad I could help! :)

    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.
