Hello everyone. I've had a problem that has been going on for about a week now and it is really starting to bother me. I hope you guys can help!

Like many posts before many have had the problems with random aurora pop ups and VX2 Malware... I have been following the directions to get it off my computer from a thread found here: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread24966.html. I have been following these directions exactly from this post by crunchy:

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....050515010747824
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.

The only problem is that in my HijackThis, I don't have F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe.

Should I post my log here?

Please just tell me what I have to do to get this off my computer and thanks for any advice to help me get rid of this problem.

Hi Andru, welcome to DaniWeb :D

Yes, go ahead and post your HijackThis log, but before doing so, please review the links in my signature block below.

When you post your HJT log please post your Ewido log as well.

There's both of them and thanks dlh6213.

First, right-click on an empty area of your desktop and select New, Folder; give the new folder a name (something like HJT or HijackThis), and then drag the hijackthis.exe icon that is on your desktop into the new folder.

Next, download, install, update, and run these utilities:

CWShredder -- http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html
about:Buster -- http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4289.html
HSRemove -- http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4286.html
CCleaner –- http://www.filehippo.com/download/Qi6RR0U86febzhqUrQQIBQ2/download.html (don't run this one yet)

Then, scan with HJT and have it fix the following entries:

Close any open windows, other then HijackThis, and hit Fix checked.

In order to view some of the files and folders here, you will need to set your system up accordingly. Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, and in Folder Options, select Show hidden files and folders, and uncheck Hide protected operating system files.

Go to the following locations and delete the highlighted files and folder:

C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\dsr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\2aflh47o.exe
C:\windows\system32\zvvnmy.exe

C:\Program Files\SurfAccuracy

Do a search for these files and delete any instances found:

Ifsmsnsv.exe
Iiesrm.exe

If any of these files cannot be deleted, please reboot into Safe Mode and try again. Let us know which, if any, still could not be deleted.

Follow the instructions in post #2 of this thread -- http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread28196.html

Now run CCleaner.

Reboot, close any open browser windows, scan with HijackThis, and post a new log please.

Most of the files couldn't be deleted... These were

C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe (couldn't find it)
C:\WINDOWS\dsr.dll (couldn't find it)
C:\WINDOWS\System2aflh47o.exe (This was a .ini file instead of .exe.)
C:\windows\system32\zvvnmy.exe (couldn't find it)

and the instance liesrm.exe wasn't found either.

Good news though. When I ran Ad-Ware (the program which I kept running to only keep finding VX2 no matter how many times i ran it) VX2 was no longer found! The computer's running much faster and I haven't encountered Aurora pop-ups yet!

Oh and by the way here's the logfile.

Thanks for all the help! :mrgreen:

It's getting better, but not clean yet.

Reboot into Safe Mode.

Scan with Ewido again, allowing it to fix whatever if finds.

Scan with HJT and have it fix the following entries:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O1 - Hosts: 127.0.0.9 doxdesk.com
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)
O23 - Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe (file missing)

Remember to close any open windows, other then HijackThis, before hitting Fix checked.

Do a search for svcproc.exe and delete any instances found (this is a part of Aurora and it's still showing in your log).

Also do a search for System2aflh47o and delete any instances found.

Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot normally.

Go to C:\WINDOWS\dinst.exe; right-click on it and select Properties. Give us whatever info you can on it (Company, version, etc.).

Close any open browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log along with the new Ewido log.

When I had searched, neither svcproc.exe or System2aflh47o could be found.

Also when I looked in the properties of the dinst.exe, I didn't see any information about company or version. Sorry but could you be more specific about how to find these? Thanks.

I was pretty sure dinst.exe was bad, the lack of information in Properties confirms this hunch.

Did you already delete System2aflh47o.ini before?

Be sure you have your system set to Show hidden files and folders -- Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, and in Folder Options, select Show hidden files and folders, and uncheck Hide protected operating system files.

Open the Services utility in your Administrative Tools control panel.

In the list of services, locate the service named System Startup Service or SvcProc and double-click on it.

In the General tab of the Properties window that opens, click the Stop button; once the service is stopped, choose Disabled in the Startup Type drop-down menu and then click OK. Close the Services utility.

Disconnect from the internet and reboot into Safe Mode.

Double-click on the Nailfix.cmd that is on your desktop.

Again, run a full system scan with Ewido, allowing it to fix whatever it finds.

Scan with HJT and have it fix the following entries:

O23 - Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe (file missing)

Remember to close any open windows before hitting Fix checked.

Go to the following locations and delete the highlighted files:

C:\WINDOWS\dsr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\dinst.exe

Empty your Recycle Bin.

Open HijackThis and click on the Config... button in the lower right corner of the main window. In the next window, click on the Misc Tools button at the top, and then click the Delete a file on reboot... button. Type (or copy & paste) svcproc into the box, and click Open. A new window will pop up asking if you want to restart your computer now; click Yes.

Allow your computer to reboot normally.

Do a search for dsr.dll and svcproc and delete any instances found. If any are found, and cannot be deleted, repeat the HJT 'delete on reboot' instructions.

Close any open browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log along with the new Ewido log.

uncheck Hide protected operating system files.

Forgot to do this part.... sorry. Now I'll uncheck it and follow the steps you have provided.

There's both of the logs.

Everything is fine. My computer is running faster, no more Aurora Pop-ups, and VX2 is no longer showing up. Thanks for everything dlh6213. :mrgreen:

Glad to hear it!
