HSA, Search Extender, and Shopping Wizard

Hello,

I've tried everything to get rid of these things and I am at the end of my rope! I'm freaking out here and am almost ready to turn to console games.... *GASP*.

I got infected with these 3 yesterday when I was surfing the web. I did a simple search and instead of getting what I was looking for, I was plugged into about 50 porn pop-ups that would not go away. They just kept showing up and showing up which is strange because I have a few pop up blockers on. I had to Cntl-Alt-Dlt to stop them.

After that I was left with these three Hijacks that are making me want to die.

I did all the steps in the http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14915 section of your forums, but to no avail. Any help you guys and gals can give would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my HJT log as requested:

    Hi, Welcome to Short-Media :)


    First of all I need you to download some programs for use later.

    Download this file and unzip it to your desktop

    Download About:Buster from here. Once it is downloaded extract it to c:\aboutbuster and check for updates. Do NOT use it yet

    Download CWShredder from here, install it, check for updates but again, don't use it yet.

    Download and install Ewido Security Suite Trial from here. Run and update the program but do not scan with it yet.

    Ensure hidden files and folders are set to show;
    • Click Start.
    • Open My Computer.
    • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    • Select the View Tab.
    • Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
    • Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    • Click Yes to confirm.
    • Click OK.

    Please disconnect from the Internet and unplug your modem for the duration of this fix You may want to print the rest of these instructions.

    Reboot your computer into Safe Mode by tapping F8 while booting up and continue for the rest of the fix in SAFE MODE

    While in safe mode, double click on the HSfix.reg file you downloaded at the beginning. Grant it permission to add the registry items.

    Then Open cwshredder that you downloaded in the first step. Close all browser windows and click on the fix/next button.

    Bring up task manager Ctrl-Alt-Del and end these processes if they are present

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\apiku32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\winkb32.exe


    Now find and delete these files, if you can't find one then don't worry.. just move on to the next one.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\zfbis.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\msig32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\winkb32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\apiku32.exe


    Now run hijackthis and click the scan button, when it has finished scanning put a check against the following and click 'fix checked'

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\zfbis.dll/sp.html#88449%

    The following step is important as you may have several malware files in your temp directories.

    Browse to the C:\documents and settings\Your User Name (repeat for all other user names in documents and settings)\local settings\temp folder and delete all files and folders in it.

    Then browse to the C:\Window\Temp folder and delete all files and folders in it.

    Then in internet explore click tools>internet Options>General. Click on Delete Files make sure you get all offline content as well.

    Now navigate to the c:\aboutbuster directory and double-click on AboutBuster.exe. Click Begin Removal to allow AboutBuster to scan. When it has finished, AboutBuster will open a 'Scan Completed' window. Click OK. Another information window will open. Click on Exit. AboutBuster will inform you that a log has been created. Click OK. I will need you to post that log later.

    Run Ewido and do a full System Scan with it. Let it clean anything it finds. Save the report it creates.

    Now reboot, and run hijackthis again and post a fresh log along with the about buster log and the Ewido log. :)

    No problem. Glad everything worked out :)


    Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

    Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

    Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

    Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables.

    Install and keep updated, Ad-Aware SE, and Spybot S&D.
    Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

    Install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster 3.4

    Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

    Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.


    Clear your Temp folders.
    Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
    Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

    Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
    delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

    Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

    Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

    In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

    Empty the Recycle Bin.

    For XP users.
    After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
    To flush the XP system Restore Points.

    Go to Start>Run and type msconfig. Press enter.

    When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
    On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

    Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

    Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

    Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

    ===============
