I am drowning with some virus problems. Can someone PLEASE help me.
I am a new user and It seems I have some how contracted some terrible problems. No matter how many times I delete and scan and redelete I am unable to rid my system of these...namely:

transponder.abetterinternet.aurora
trojan.startup.Oe3df3

My internet is so slow it makes it very difficult to work.
My Norton picks them up and deletes but when I reboot they are instantly there again so I figure something else is lurking and re-introducing them each time on start up or something....??

Please help as I am desperate. I have been following along with several forums where people have similar problems but I don't have the technical savvy to go it alone :cry:
Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Roger S.

Thanks a zillion!!

Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

Please download Nailfix from here:
http://www.noidea.us/easyfile/file.php?download=20050515010747824
Unzip it to the desktop but please do NOT run it yet.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site:
http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml


Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on Nailfix.cmd. Your desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

Then please run Ewido, and run a full scan. Save the logfile from the scan.

Next please run HijackThis, click Scan, and check:

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe

Close all open windows except for HijackThis and click Fix Checked.

Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

I really appreciate your help. I hope this does it!! Please let me know
if it looks okay. Here are the logs:

P.S. My internet still seems rather sluggage.....maybe that's another problem??!!
Cheers,

You still have a couple of things there that need removing...

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

Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: Internet Explorer Hot Fix - {C0ADA2BE-8247-4F13-A9E5-B2DE5EC4F752} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\hchvr.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [egogaa] c:\windows\system32\mrbarz.exe

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
...(Unless you've set these with a anti-spyware program like SpyBot's Immunize feature, have HiJackThis fix this.)


Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

c:\windows\system32\mrbarz.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

-

Reboot.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Let me know how everything goes.

Thanks again for your speed and efficiency.

I fixed the files you posted but I was unable to locate
the mrbarz.exe for deletion, I hope it's not hiding somehow.
I am able to view system and hidden files/folders.

I have rebooted my system here is the new log:

Thanks again,

Roger S.

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

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

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, Ad-Aware SE, and Spybot S&D.
Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.

Clear your Temp folders.
Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

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

Empty the Recycle Bin.

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

If you have any more problems, post back.

Happy surfing,

Unfortunately I'm back!! I am still having problems although

Thanks so much for your help,

Roger S.

Can you explain the problems? Your log still looks clear.

Ya,

I still get a POP UP that mimics a microsoft security little grey window
that tells me there is some malicious activity happening and of course if I
click on the warning it takes me to some weird website. When it happens
again I will post more exact info.( where it leads too etc...)
Shouldn't be too long.

The second is when I go to navigate to a website I will be re-directed to some XXX ad site instead of the one I am supposed to see. This is random and happens regularly. The websites that I navigate when it happens are always different.

Thanks again. Hope this helps....

One more thing is it appears my browser will automatically click back a few screens at the strangest of times. I will go to a site like my email I will be reading an email and then I hear a click, click ,click and I'm back a few screens!!?? Does that sound strange? This has happened several times completely randomly as far as I can tell.......Or maybe I'm just crazy!

Roger S.

This time I went to go to my Yahoo mail account and I punched in www.yahoo.com and this other poker window thing came up instead.
Very frustrating...

There my window just automatically backed up....I'm not crazy after all I had to press forward just now in my browser window to finish this post..

Sorry for so many short posts.
here's the full text for the microsoft mimic window:

Windows Security Center (this is alittle grey box)
WARNING: Windows firewall detected suspicious network activity on your
computer. Malicious software codes try to steal your privacy information
such as credit card numbers, electronic mail accounts, financial data or
passwords.
Do you want to learn how to protect your computer?

Cheers,

Roger S.

I just ran a startup report with Ewido, some of the programs look
suspicious to me. Maybe you can take a look:
I've bolded the ones I think might be a problem

All those files are ok.

Download the Hoster.
Run it and press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.
Note that if you have a custom host file, this will remove it. You can edit the host file with this program too.

Go into your favourites folder and delete any that did not come with Internet Exploder or that you have added.

Go to http://grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm and download shoot the messenger and follow the instructions. This will disable Windows Messenger. Ignore this if you need it.
