(sorry for posting this in the wrong section before).

Hi, im not sure if this problem has already been solved in another thread but basically my computer has been infected by several viruses and i don't have a clue on how to remove them all. firstly, there is kamsoft, then there is vamsoft then theres another one called cdoosoft (but im not sure if that is a virus or not, all i know is it wasnt in my computer before). then i have things in my hard drives that i think are connected to kamsoft - with cmd and bat extentions that are preventing me from showing hidden files on my computer. there is also a process called AhnRpta.exe which keeps coming back even when i end it. now i want to remove them all but i dont know how and where to start..

thanks

Download HijackThis Executable from here. Save it to your desktop.
Start HJT & press the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. When the scan is finished a window will pop up giving you the option of where to save it. Save it to desktop where it is easy to access. Open the log file and then go to the format Tab and make sure that wordwrap is unchecked. Copy the entire contents of the file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

commented: i guess all i needed was to run MBA-M for an easy fix. +2

Doesn't look like you rebooted after running MBA-M as requested.

What anti-virus are you using?

  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on the Software icon > add/remove programs.
  • Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment.... )
  • Select it and click Remove.
  • Then Download and install the newest version from here:
  • http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

the pc seems fine although im not sure if everything has been removed. i am now able to view hidden files compared to before.

kamsoft, vamsoft and cdoosoft has been removed from the registry. however in the

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\{c85a5d5e-06a5-11dd-b375-000ea671bd0e}

i saw this in under data: J:\e.cmd <-- is that safe to delete.. because i think thats connected with kamsoft too.

there is also something on my browser called a yoog search and some people think its a malware.. it wasnt there to begin with when i first had firefox.

Back up your registry first, then delete the entry. Make sure all is still ok after a reboot.
Never heard of yoog myself, but it looks bad from a quick google search.

Please re-run hijackthis again, select Do a system scan and save a logfile. When notepad opens, go to the Format Tab and de-select Word Wrap.
Highlight the entire text and post the log back here.

sry about that, i forgot about the wordwrap thing.

Looks ok to me. How is the pc?

ok. well it seems fine now except for that yoog thing. i think the kamsoft, vamsoft stuff are usb viruses which installs autorun.inf as well as cmd and bat files on my computer to prevents me from seeing hidden files. now that its fixed. how do i keep them from going into my computer? because im pretty sure my usb sticks still have them and if insert them to my computer im pretty sure they will come back...

You should be able to plug them in and format them. Make sure you disable autorun first.

ok then. thanks for ur help man you can close this thread now. i think i can take care of that usb stick problem myself. as for the other viruses.. i think theyve been deleted from this computer by MBA-M. and that yoog problem.. i will do more research on. it seems to slow my internet browsing speed but anyway, thanks again for all your help. i will come back again if im unable to fix something myself.

Can you find it in add/remove programs?

you mean yoog? no i cant find it in add/remove. but its in the registry and thats about the only place i could find it. i cant find it in the mozilla folder. i even tried doing a search for 'yoog' in all hard drives but i got nothing.

Go here http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ and download, unzip and run the Registry Search Tool. Type yoog in the dialog box. Let it run and after a few minutes, a prompt will appear. Click OK to write the results to Notepad and post them here.

ok sorry for the late reply again. here are the search results:

REGEDIT4
; RegSrch.vbs © Bill James

; Registry search results for string "yoog" 1/02/2009 9:28:14 AM

; NOTE: This file will be deleted when you close WordPad.
; You must manually save this file to a new location if you want to refer to it again later.
; (If you save the file with a .reg extension, you can use it to restore any Registry changes you make to these values.)

"002"="yoog"


--------------

the thing is, no matter how many times i delete yoog from the registry, or from the browser itself.. it keeps coming back and im not able to remove it completely..

It's not part of an Add-on, is it?

Download the attached zip file and unzip fixme.reg. Close all browser windows. Double click the file to run it and when asked if you want to merge with your registry, answer yes.
Reboot when done and check if the entries are gone.

entries are gone and the search engine doesnt show on mozilla but yoog is still there as a default search engine :@

my cable internet has been disconnecting randomly (on and off every 2 or 3 minutes) for the past 5 days and i always have to reset the modem to connect. ive already contacted my isp and they are sending a technician. though, i wonder if yoog has anything to do with this..

If you cannot get rid of it using FF's own preferences menu, you can try uninstalling FF and reinstalling again.

Do you have any programs installed such as Spybot or Spywareblaster that protect changes to FF's home page?

i have uninstalled it before and reinstalled the latest FF but it did not work. no i dont have those programs.. but my homepage is still google. however when i type something on the address bar i.e "google" normally FF would assume the '.com' and go to google straight away. but eversince that yoog problem.. whenever i type something on the address bar.. it goes to the yoog search engine (which does not appear on FF's lists of default search engine on the side and is not on the registry too)

Must be something in FF's configuration file that is causing this.

Open FF and type about:config into the address bar. Go down to search and see if any of the search fields show yoog.

Uploaded a screenshot of mine.

ok i did what u told me.. i filtered the results to 'yoog' and two things came up.

user_pref("browser.search.selectedEngine", "Yoog Search");
user_pref("keyword.URL", "http://www2.yoog.com/search.php?q=");

now, i typed search in the filter bar.. and mine appeared different to your SS. here is how mine looked like

(see FF.jpg below)

i changed the value of

user_pref("browser.search.selectedEngine", "Yoog Search");

to

user_pref("browser.search.selectedEngine", "Google");

and

user_pref("keyword.URL", "http://www2.yoog.com/search.php?q=");

to

user_pref("keyword.URL", "http://www.google.com/");

but at the same time i was doing some research on other sites and found that those two entries arent meant to be there so i went to:

F:\Documents and Settings\Malibiran\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\tppztg22.default

and i edited prefs.js and deleted those two lines. and i also deleted user.js

now after all that i went back to FF and typed about:config and put in 'search' in the filter bar and now it looks the same to yours.

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

actually, i yoog is gone now. just now i opened a new tab and typed in the word "google" in the address bar and it went straight to the google website instead of defaulting to a yoog search of the word "google"

ill see if this works out and remains fixed til tomorrow. i will come back to confirm if yoog has been removed completely or if not.. we will find out

Sounds good. A few reboots should tell you.
