Vcodec not completely uninstalled...

Unknown

Hello everyone,

I installed Vcodec by accident and since I've been finding and erasing some of the files it installed, but I still have the popup window saying "System Instrusion Detected"(sic) in my system tray.

I've updated and run Adaware and Spybot.

If anyone could look over my hijackthis log, it would be greatly appreciated.

It's great to find a forum like this!
Thanks,
Gab (mahamottidjinn)

Reboot your computer and let me know how things are

mahamottidjinn

Hmm.. I still get the warning that won't go away.

Maybe it's an icon thing? Also, do you think "IMEKRMIG.EXE" is a problem? I just wonder because the file is lowercase, not "IME" but "ime": C:\Windows\ime\imkr6_1\IMEKRMIG.EXE

Also also, I got SafeSex from Nullsoft (makers of Winamp, right) here: http://www.nullsoft.com/free/safesex/ Do you think it could be conflicting with something, or is a part of the problem?

Sorry if I ask too many questions, and thank you for the quick reply!;)

Please read these instructions carefully and print them out! Be sure to follow ALL instructions!

Download smitRem.exe and save the file to your desktop.
Right click on the file and extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

Place a shortcut to Panda ActiveScan on your desktop.

Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Please read Ewido Setup Instructions
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow these download and setup instructions, otherwise, check for updates:
Ad-Aware SE Setup
Don't run it yet!

Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:

1. Restart your computer
2. After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4. Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

We need to DISABLE SpyBots TeaTimer as it may interfere with the fix.

1) Run Spybot-S&D
2) Go to the Mode menu, and make sure "Advanced Mode" is selected
3) On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
4) Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts
5) Exit SpyBot


Now scan with HJT and place a checkmark next to each of the following items and click 'Fix Checked':

===================================================
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SafeSex_Safesex] "C:\Program Files\SafeSex\Safesex.exe" /PROFILE=Safesex
===================================================

Find and Delete the following:

C:\Program Files\SafeSex << this folder


Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.


Open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.


Run Ewido: (Do not use the computer while Ewido is scanning as it may interrupt the scan)

• Click on scanner
• Click Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.
• You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
• If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
• DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
• If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
• When the scan is finished, click the Save report button at the bottom of the screen.
• Save the report to your desktop

Close Ewido

Next go to Control Panel click Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Website > Uncheck "Security Info" if present.

Hi again,

I just wanted to say thanks for your help. I finally did all those instructions, and it seems to have cleared it all up.

Again, Thanks!

Trogan

Your welcome

If everything is back to normal, can we mark this resolved?


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. If you don't have a Firewall, then choose ONE below

Zone Alarm
Sygate
Sunbelt Kerio PF

Download CCleaner from here to clean temp files from your computer.

• Install CCleaner
• Open CCleaner to start the program.
• On the "Windows" tab, under "Internet Explorer," uncheck "Cookies" if you do not want them deleted. (If deleted, you will likely need to re-enter your passwords at all sites where a cookie is used to recognize you when you visit).
• If you use either the Firefox or Opera browsers, the box to uncheck for "Cookies" is on the Applications tab, under Firefox/Mozilla.
• Click on the "Options" icon at the left side of the window, then click on "Advanced."
  deselect "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours."
• Click on the "Cleaner" icon on the left side of the window, then click Run Cleaner to run the program.
• Caution: It is not recommended that you use the "Issues" feature unless you are very familiar with the registry as it has been known to find legitimate items.
• After CCleaner has completed its process, click Exit.
