Dear guys,

I have this problem "Server not found or DNS Error" which I couldn't resolve even though I have tried the methods suggested by many. I have to refresh my IE6 constantly for the webpages to show up.

I believe depending on the HijackThis log, every individual needs different way of fixing this problem.

Please advise. My HijackThis log is available upon request.

Thanks.

Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go here. Remove the old version by deleting the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.

Try this scan as well.

Reboot and post a new log from the updated hijackthis.

Hi crunchie,

I have carried out your recommendations to scan my pc through the first link that you have provided. The second link has a little error loading.

Through the online virus scan, 8 infected files were detected, of which 3 files could not be deleted as they were in use. These are:
1)TROJ AGENT.BN C:\Program Files\WindUpdates\Comm.dll
2)TROJ AGENT.BN C:\Program Files\WindUpdates\WinKA.exe
3)TROJ AGENT.BF C:\Program Files\WindUpdates\WinUpdt.exe

Below is my new HijackThis log:

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

Run a search for all those other 04 entries listed above & delete them too. They will likely be in either the Windows folder or the system32 folder.

I cannot find any reference to the following:

Do you know what it is?

Reboot normally after doing the above then with all browser windows closed, scan with hijackthis and post a fresh log please.

TLVenus,

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

I've split your post here into it own thread, which is at the following location:

Hi crunchie,

I have carried out all your recommendations. Please advise on the latest HijackThis log.

The following, as far as I can remember, belongs to either my scanner or handphone software. I did not fix/delete it.
04 - HKLM\..\Run:[zzzCamInSuiteIII] E:\SETUP.EXE 246***

All the 04 entries, except for twzn.exe, could not be found in my harddisk drives.

Looking forward to your further instructions. Thank you. :)

Do you have QuickTime installed on your computer & if so, was it running at the time of your scan?
Also, do you know what the following is?
C:\WINDOWS\Screen Scapes Task.exe
Please go here and have these files scanned.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\quicktime.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\svspack2.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ioroxxo microsoft sux] quicktime.exe

I think that pretty much answers the QuickTime question, eh? :mrgreen:

Hi crunchie,

Thanks for your advice to date.

I do have QuickTime installed in my pc. Everything was closed before I carried out the scan, including disconnecting from the network.

C:\WINDOWS\Screen Scapes Task.exe is a screen saver. I doubt it's causing me any troubles as I have that installed more than a year ago.

I could not locate these 2 files in my harddrives:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\quicktime.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\svspack2.exe
What can I do to flush them out?

I have just installed ZoneAlarm firewall. These 2 files are always trying to "call Home" (Access the internet), but are blocked by the firewall. I believe they are the root problems. From the Task Manager, I could find these 2 files running under Application.

After carrying out your recommendations, my internet access worked well for 2 hours before the problem returned.

What other suggestions do you have for me? Please advise. Thank you. :eek:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ioroxxo microsoft sux] quicktime.exe

I think that pretty much answers the QuickTime question, eh? :mrgreen:

..............OOPS :o

I think it is safe to delete those files going on what you have said.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [svspack2.exe] svspack2.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [svspack2.exe] svspack2.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ioroxxo microsoft sux] quicktime.exe

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svspack2.exe-file
C:\WINDOWS\System32\quicktime.exe-file

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

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log please.

Hi crunchie,

I have fixed the following using HijackThis as advised:

Since installing ZoneAlarm, my internet connection has, so far, being working normally. Furthermore, after removing those 2 suspicious entries, I guess, and hopefully so, my problem has been solved. :D

Thank you once again. :cheesy:

Cool. You managed to delete them manually, yes? If so, you look all clear.

I could find no trace of them in my latest HijackThis log..."


alantanel,

(As crunchie got me hip to some time ago; credit where credit is due): once you had HJT fix those entries, you still need to search your system for those files and delete them manually. HJT fixes the Registry entries which reference the files, but HJT does not delete the files themselves. In order to see/find the files, you might have to set Windows Explorer's Tools->Folder Options->View settings to ""Show hidden files and folders"

Harlow DMR & crunchie,

I made a very thorough search of my system for the existence of those two files (svspack2.exe & quicktime.exe), but I was not able to locate them.

The messages that I received from ZoneAlarm firewall led me to believe that these two files are activated from somewhere in the network, not from my system. They were caught and blocked from accessing the internet by the firewall.

Before fixing these two entries using HJT, they could be seen running under PROCESSES of the TASK MANAGER. This probably explains why I could not remove them in my first Scan & Fix using HJT.

Hence, I ended these two processes and then carried out the second HJT Scan & Fix. The result? They are no longer in my registry as you can see from my latest HJT log.

To date, my internet access has been working normally.

Thank you very much to everyone who has offered your help in one way or another. I will remember which forum to look to if any pc-related problems should arise in future. :cheesy:

You're welcome, we're alwways glad to help!

You're not the first member to report that happening, but not having being able to physically sit at anyone's machine, I've never found an explanation for that.

If you had entries for the files in the Run section of your Registry and HJT reported them as processes running from a local directory, they were definitely running from your machine.

Right- HJT removes the run entries in the registry, which keeps the programs from loading on subsequent bootups. However, if the malicious programs are already loaded when you run detection/removal utiities, they can be harder to "kill".
