Cans someone please help me thanks

--Lartones :eek:

Hi Lartones, welcome to DaniWeb :)


Please do the following:

You will need to close/quit all web browser programs and disconnect from the Internet for the following, so you should print out these instructions or save them into a text file with Notepad.


1. Run at least two or three of the following online anti-virus/anti-spyware scans. Some of these scanners have "auto clean" scan options; make sure to choose that option if it exists.

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp?cid=9914
http://www.pandasoftware.com/active...n_principal.htm
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php


2. Run HijackThis and have it fix the following entries. Some of these may have been cleaned by the above scans; fix all that still exist:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = c:\secure32.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = c:\secure32.html

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PayTime] C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Spooler Services] spool.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows Spooler Services] spool.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Shell] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00001.exe"
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [PayTime] C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [aupd] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sywsvcs.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows installer] C:\winstall.exe


3. Download and install the following (free) detection and removal tools. Open each program and use its online update function to make sure you have the most current updates installed. Do not run scans with the programs yet, just close each one when it has finished installing its updates:

ewido Security Suite - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
Ad Aware SE Personal - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/


4. Reboot into safe mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up)

- Run all of the above utilities consecutively (the order doesn't matter) and choose to have them fix all of the malicious objects they find.

- Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- Locate and delete the following files:

c:\secure32.html
C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
spool.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00001.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sywsvcs.exe
C:\winstall.exe

- For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders (but not the folders themselves):

Important: One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if any data that you care about is living in those Temp folders, you need to move it to a safe location now, or it will be erased along with everything else!

1. Cookies
2. Local Settings\Temp
3. Local Settings\History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Prefetch folder.

Note- If you get any messages concerning the deletion of system files such as desktop.ini or index.dat, just choose to delete those files; they'll be automatically regenerated by Windows if needed. Windows will allow you to delete the versions of those files which exist in sub-folders within the main Temp/Temorary folders, but might not let you delete the versions of those files that exist in the main Temp folders themselves; this is normal and OK.

- Empty your Recycle Bin.

- Reboot normally.


5. Run HijackThis again and post the new log. Also post the scan report log that ewido generated.

Well i tried all that and it seemed to work thanks alot you saved me from going crazy!!!

::Report End

Once again, thankk you! :p

Well i tried all that and it seemed to work

Unfortunately, it didn't work; your latest HJT log indicates that almost all of the "nasties" are still present. Are you sure you followed all of my suggestions properly?

:o Actually, if you really did follow everything I suggested, you would have deleted the HijackThis program, because I missed something in your first log that needs to be dealt with before anything else:

C:\DOCUME~1\LARRYC~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$EX00.766\hijackthis.exe

The log entry above indicates that you are running HJT from within a Temp/Temporary folder. Please do the following:

Create a folder for HijackThis outside of any Temp/Temporary folders and move HJT there now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders (which I did ask you to do in my last post). Given that, if HijackThis and/or other data that you care about is living in those Temp folders, it will be erased along with everything else!
Temp/Temporary folders are just that- Temporary. They are not meant for permanent storage, as their contents are often delete in the course of troubleshooting, by running disk clean-up utilities, etc.

There is one file in your log that I'd like to get more information on if possible please; it looks suspect to me:

- Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- Locate the following file, right-click on it, and click the "Properties" option at the bottom of the resulting pop-up menu:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\sndmix.dll

Look carefully through the "General" and "Version" tabs of the Properties Window for the following identifying information about the file and post that info here:

File size
Creation date
Modification date
Date Accessed

Perfect; thanks!

Please do the following:

1. Download the Pocket Killbox utility into its own new folder. Don't run the program yet, though.


2. Run HijackThis again, put a check in the box to the left of the following entries, and then click the "Fix Checked" button. Close HJT after it completes the fixes:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows installer] C:\winstall.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: Mixer - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\sndmix.dll


3. Run the Killbox.

- In the "Full Path of File to Delete" box, copy and paste the following
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sndmix.dll

- Select the "Replace on reboot", "Use Dummy", and "Unregister dll before deleting" options.

- Click on the button with the red circle with the X in the middle and then click Yes at the "Replace on Reboot" confirmation prompt. Click No at the request to actually reboot.

- Copy the file names below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing Control-C:

c:\secure32.html
C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
C:\winstall.exe

- In the Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard".

- Select the "Delete on reboot" option.

- Click on the button with the red circle with the X in the middle and then click Yes at the "Replace on Reboot" confirmation prompt.

- Click Yes at the request to reboot and let the computer reboot normally.


4. Once the computer has rebooted, run HJT again and post the new log.

c:\secure32.html
C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
C:\winstall.exe

For these 3 paths, i did as you said "replace on reboot" but when i selected that option, nothing at all seemed to happen after i clicked teh button. So i dont know if it worked or not, but i did do as you said and here is the log:

1. Friggin' good job; it looks like you got them. Your latest log is clean :)


2.

i did as you said "replace on reboot" but when i selected that option, nothing at all seemed to happen after i clicked teh button.

That's normal. Nothing visible does happen; Killbox just silently whacks the files when you reboot the computer.
