Need some help with multi-pop

edited August 2007 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hi guys! A newbie here and my first post. Everything I have read here so far far is quite impressive I must say. I hope that you can help me. Every time I open IE6, the pop-ups start and say something like services.multi-pops.com, and then another one pops up and says "targeted", with another ad. I consider myself fairly competent, but am having a problem getting rid of this one. Here is my HJT log.

    Hello Slagman!

    ( 1 )

    We Have to move Hijackthis to it's own folder because In it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later

    Click START>My Computer >right click Local Disk (usually (C:) for most people)>Explore.
    Right click an open area in the main panel.
    Select New > Folder.
    Type in HJT & press Enter

    Now We have Created C:\HJT\ folder. Put your HijackThis.exe there.

    ( 2 )

    Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6/02

    Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
    Click the "Download" button to the right.
    Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
    The page will refresh.

    Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
    Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
    Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.

    Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
    Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
    Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
    Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
    Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.

    Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your desktop.
    • Close all applications and windows.
    • Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
    • When the scan is complete, a text file will open - Main.txt
    • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of Main.txt in your thread in the HijackThis Log Help Forum.
    • A folder, C:\Deckard\System Scanner, will also open. In it will be another text file, Extra.txt.
    • Please also copy the contents of Extra.txt to your post as well.
    • Note: some firewalls may warn that sigcheck.exe is trying to access the internet - please ensure that you allow sigcheck.exe permission to do so.
    • What DSS will do:
    • create a new System Restore point in Windows XP and Vista.
    • clean your Temporary Files, Downloaded Program Files, and Internet Cache Files, and also empty the Recycle Bin on all drives.
    • check some important areas of your system and produce a report for your analyst to review. DSS automatically runs HijackThis for you, but it will also install and place a shortcut to HijackThis on your desktop if you do not already have HijackThis installed.

        Hello There, looks much better already :)

        ( 1 )

        Please Locate This Folder, and empty it completely

        C:\QooBox\Quarantine

        ( 2 )

        Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)

        1. Turn off System Restore.
        On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
        Click Properties.
        Click the System Restore tab.
        Check Turn off System Restore.
        Click Apply, and then click OK.2. Restart your computer.

        3. Turn ON System Restore.
        On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
        Click Properties.
        Click the System Restore tab.
        UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
        Click Apply, and then click OK.

        System Restore will now be active again.

        Also post a Fresh Hijackthis logfile.

        How are things Running now?

        If this is the end of this problem, can I continue to use Windows Defender & AVG for windows? Is this enough? Or should I say, "what do YOU use on your computer"?

        Thanks,

        Hi there!

        Unfortunately Windows Defender is not good enough to protect your system.

        This is how you Disable Windows Defender.

        ( 1 )
        • Open Windows Defender
        • Click Tools
        • Click General Settings
        • Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
        • Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection (recommended)
        • After you uncheck this, click on the Save button
        • Close Windows Defender
        ( 2 )

        It is important that you use a software firewall, to prevent unauthorised traffic both out of and into your computer.

        Please download and install one of these excellent (and free) products: ( 3 )

        Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
        • Disable and Enable System Restore.
        If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.

        You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:

        Managing Windows Millenium System Restore
          Windows XP System Restore Guide

          Reenable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

          [*]Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
          [*]From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
          [*]Click once on the Security tab
          [*]Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
          [*]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.
          [*]Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
          • 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:

          • 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.
          • 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
          • 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.
          • 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.

          • 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.

          here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety
          • IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
          • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
          • Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
          • Winpatrol <= Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
