Hi all.

I recently removed a worm from my computer using ad aware. I now cannot get windows task manager to load using ctrl alt del or by using the task bar. I havent noticed anything else - could anyone give me any advice. I have attached my hijack this log.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You've still got infections, but you need to take care of something first:

You've posted a log from a very old version (1.98.2) of HijackThis. Please download the current version (1.99.1) and post the log that version generates.

Looks like you've done some further removal on your own; that log is a lot cleaner than the last. :)

There's a very effective utility called ewido Security Suite (the download is a 30-day free trial) which might nail the rest of the suspects:

1. 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.

2. Run a full scan with ewido and save the scan log it generates.

3. Reboot, run HijackThis again, and post both the HJT log and the ewido log.

There are still a couple of indications of infections in your latest log:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [OSS] C:\windows\system32\rlvknlg.exe -boot

Also- you seem to be running two anti-virus programs (Norton and AVPersonal). Running more than one AV program isn't advised, as conflicts can occur. Choose one AV program or the other and use that alone.

Please do the following:

1. Run at least two or three of the following online anti-virus/anti-spyware scans and select their "auto clean" (or similar) options to let them fix what they can:

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

3. Run HijackThis and have it fix the following entries if they still exist:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [OSS] C:\windows\system32\rlvknlg.exe -boot

4. 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".

- Delete the C:\windows\system32\rlvknlg.exe file.

- Delete the entire C:\Program Files\winupdates folder.

- 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.

5. Reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post a new log.

Hi, I have completed all the above but the rlvknlg.exe file didnt seem to exist.

If you're sure that the file doesn't exist, that most likely means that the file itself was deleted during the cleaning process, but the related "Run" entry in your Registry wasn't.
Since the O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [OSS] C:\windows\system32\rlvknlg.exe -boot entry no longer appears in your log, I'm assuming that's the case; it happens sometimes.

Your lastest log is clean. Does everything seem to be working now?

If so, you should set new, clean System Restore point now. An explanation of what I mean by that, and instructions on how to do it, can be found here.

Hi, Everything seems to be running fine now. I did notice that a worm couldnt be removed called mugly (with one of the online cleaners) but doesnt seem to be having no effect.

Thanks for all your time and effort.

DMR 152 Wombat At Large Team Colleague · Answer 6 · 2005-07-09T02:21:51+00:00

"mugly" is a mass-miling worm; you might not see any effects of it, but I sure as heck wouldn't want pieces of it lurking around on my network. :eek:

The first page of this Google search has links to descriptions and removal instructions from 5 of the major anti-virus companies. You might want to have a look:
