Hello,

Just a few days ago I was in IE (regrets!) just because I thought it would be quicker than opening Firefox for some odd reason and...promptly picked up the "Antivirus XP" issue. I was pretty easily able to find the cause of the pop-up agreement, deleted the screensaver and background and thought it was done.

Unfortunately, the search engine/web page redirects persist and now, certain websites will not work for me. Especially the sites with alternate malware detectors. Those really don't like to work. Even under safemode, I've been unable to download any. Thankfully, I have hijackthis logs and I know pray someone here may have a possible solution:

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

==========

Try and download this one;

Download
SDFix
and save it to your desktop.

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the
following :

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the
    Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
  • Choose your usual account.
  • In Safe Mode, right click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract
    All
    ,
  • Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to
    start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the script.
  • It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the
    registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool
    will be running and removing files.
  • When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and
    display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load
    your desktop icons.
  • Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the
    contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum with
    a new HijackThis log.

    Please post the SDFix log within CODE Tags.

If you have trouble getting it, let me know and I will try and upload it or email it to you.

It was an epic battle to get SDFix, but thankfully its small size appears to have made it possible with multiple attempts (in safe mode, even).

this is what it said:

After that fix, my computer forced a reboot through the "Service and Controller app" problem reboot through system32/services. exe, error 1073741819. Then it ran again and it said this:

Firefox also stopped working, so I uninstalled that, but this startup is an issue, I'm actually racing against time to post now, so I'm not sure if fixing the problem caused more problem or if this is now an entirely different issue.

with
a new HijackThis log.

I requested an hijackthis log too.

Try deleting the following two files and let me know if you succeed;

C:\WINDOWS\system32\a.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysrest32.exe

thanks so much for your help already, Crunchie. Unfortunately both those files are not found in my system32 folder anymore. This is my third try trying to post this; I think I hvae afalse svchost.exe that's draining my CPU usage and, of course, my computer constantly rebooting (even in safe mode!). Sorry for missing the hijack this log, it is below taken as of five minutes ago:

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE or HERE

  • You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
  • Physically disconnect from the internet.
  • Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
  • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
  • Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Thanks again, crunchie. The computer appears to be not restarting itself as long as I'm in safe mode. However, when not in safe mode, the system seeks to reboot in less than five minutes and often less than three.

Notably, I don't appear to have a rdssrv.exe or hdfkt.dll. I double-checked my logs, the files you listed, and my folder multiple times to ensure I wasn't making any errors. Would that possibly be the error?


Here's what combofix had to say:

Notably, I don't appear to have a rdssrv.exe or hdfkt.dll. I double-checked my logs, the files you listed, and my folder multiple times to ensure I wasn't making any errors. Would that possibly be the error?


I don't think they would be causing this problem if they were not there.

==

Go toAdd/Remove programs and uninstall the following, if present:

Viewpoint Manager,Viewpoint Media Player,Viewpoint Toolbar

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

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

A. Please RUN HijackThis Click the SCAN button to produce a log.
Place a check mark beside each one of the following items:

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {4E7BD74F-2B8D-469E-93BE-BE2DF4D9AE29} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [ ] C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe /C del /Q C:\WINDOWS\system32\rdssrv.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\rdshost.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\hdfkt.dll

O23 - Service: Viewpoint Manager Service - Viewpoint Corporation - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe
Now with all the items selected, and all windows closed except for HJT, delete them by clicking the FIX checked button. Close the HijackThis window.
B. 1. Please open Notepad Click Start , then Run
Type notepad .exe in the Run Box.
2. Now copy/paste the entire content of the codebox below into the Notepad window:



KillAll::

File::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tdssserf.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rdssrv.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rdshost.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hdfkt.dll
Folder::
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint
Driver::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\z2yhfmbkp2z.sys
Registry::
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\z2yhfmbkp2z.sys]



Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.


3. Save the above as CFScript.txt

4. Physically disconnect from the internet.

5. Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.

6. Then drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe as depicted in the animation below. This will start ComboFix again.

7. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), pleasere-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix then post the following reports/logs into your next reply:Combofix.txt
A new HijackThis log.
CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.
