Hi all,
My Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and MSN all freeze up and have to be closed as soon as i open them. I have a number of anti- virus and spyware programs, none of which have found anything, and this problem is getting more and more annoying. Some other things, like User Accounts, do not open either.

I had to get the Firefox browser through Skype (which works perfectly) from a friend, and i have had no problems with it.
My internet connection is fine.

Please help!

Thanks everyone.

Please help!!

Surely someone has some idea...?

Try running "sfc /scannow".

Hey people... just for info, this issue was first discussed in this thread: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread14172.html ... Im having the exact same problem as Hypnotoad did...

Please do the following, as the contents of your HijackThis log will differ from Hypnotoad's log:

Download the (free) HijackThis utility:

http://www.stevewolfonline.com/Downloads/DMR/Spyware%20Tools/HJT/HijackThis.exe

Once downloaded, follow these instructions to install and run the program:

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

Run HijackThis, but do not have HJT fix anything yet; only have it scan your system! Once the scan is complete, the "Scan" button will turn into an option to "Save log...". Save the log in the folder you created for HiajckThis, open the log in Windows Notepad, and cut-n-paste the entire contents of the log here.

The log contents will tell us a lot about what "nasties" have crept into your system, and once we analyse the log we can tell you what to do from there.

Thanks, DMR.

Well, here's my Hijackthis log file then:

... any use to you?

That's a clean log, but it does indicate one thing: the following header information in your HJT log shows that your versions of Windows XP and Internet Explorer are very out of date:

Platform: Windows XP (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 (6.00.2600.0000)

Please use Windows' Automatic Update feature to bring your system up to date; many of the updates you're missing address/fix security loopholes and other bugs. I definitely wouldn't suggest going all the way to Service Pack 2 until we're sure that your system is stable, but you need to at least upgrade to Service Pack 1 with all of its most current critical updates.

Once you've done that, the upgrades/updates should be reflected in your HJT log's header info as follows:

Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)


Since malicious programs don't immediately appear to be the cause of the crashes, open the event viewer utility in your Administrative Tools folder and have a look through your System and Application logs for any error or warning entries. Double-clicking on any of the entries will open a window with more specific info on the fault; post the full and exact contents of any such messages which might appear to relate to the problems you're experiencing.

Right ok thanks a lot DMR...

One question though, how would someone go about getting the necessary updates if their version of XP wasn't exactly legit? Hypothetically speaking of course...

/Will

Hypothetically speaking of course...

Sorry man, but there's no hypothetical here as far as that one goes- we can't and don't support pirated or otherwise illegally-obtained software; it's our butts on the line if we do. :(


Did you find anything possibly useful in the Event Viewer logs?

DMR - It's not that i have a pirated copy, but i'm using a corporate version of XP, i.e. the one that companies use so that they dont have to get a seperate version for every computer. This isn't really illegal, or if it is, its not half as bad as an actual pirated copy, so d'ya reckon updates would work without ruining my computer?

Thanks, and if it doesnt work, i'll buy a legitmate, home version of XP. I promise. ;)

HELP!! ive been having similar problems to the ones described above

symptoms:

1. Internet Explorer can open and will run for about 5 mins until it will freeze, and break the internet connection. After Ending Task, i will try to open a new internet explorer window but it will not open any websites since the internet connection is somehow broken. Cannot Report Error also since i can't connect back online.

When i restart the computer, the internet connection comes back on, but then the problem will repeat again- IE will freeze after 5 mins, and internet connection breaks

(I think my internet version is 6.0)

2. Same thing with MSN messenger- after a few minutes, MSN messenger will freeze, and then break the internet connection. After force-ending it with Task Manager, cannot log back on. Cannot Report Error also .

I got this error message:
AppName: msnmsgr.exe AppVer: 7.5.306.0 ModName: shdocvw.dll
ModVer: 6.0.2900.2096 Offset: 00013fe1

3. I tried downloading Mozilla but does not solve the problem. it also freezes after about 5 mins and i will lose the internet connection until i restart the computer.

4. Not sure if this is related but it takes longer than normal to restart and shut down the computer- can take up to 5-10mins/

I ran a Hijack This log, and here are the results

Hi zhen87- welcome to DaniWeb :)

The HijackThis log you posted definitely shows that you have infections, but the version of HijackThis that you are using is extremely out-of-date and therefore isn't giving us the complete picture.
Please delete the old version, download the latest version (1.99.0), run a new scan with it, and post the new log file.

For the record, I had a great deal of difficulty when BT ran Broadband at a faster speed without mentioning it...out of the blue arrived a new 'router' aswas modem...so they KNEW! Seems to be OK since the new gadget although I get irritated with various small screen openings that have to be enlarged...but all I am saying is, as a total amateur, maybe it is the modem/router playing up. Cheers.

Thanks for the new log. I see signs of at least 4 different adware/spyware infections in that log, so it might take a few passes to get them all removed. Please be patient, and follow any instructions fully, carefully, and in the order given.

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


1. Download ATF-Cleaner and save it to convenient location.


2. Download the free version of AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly ewido). Save the installer file to your desktop or any convenient folder.

* Run the installer, accepting the default options. Run the program once installed, click on the Update icon at the top of the main AVG window, and allow the program to download the most current components.

* Close AVG once the updates have been downloaded.


3. Run another HiajckThis scan, put a check in the boxes to the left of the following entries, and then click the "Fix checked" button. Close HijackThis once it completes its fixes:

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

* Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
- Click the Main menu option.
- Check the Select All box. (Uncheck cookies if you do not want them removed).
- Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser:

- Click the Firefox menu option.
- Check the Select All box. (Uncheck cookies if you do not want them removed).
- Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, click No at the prompt.
- Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.


* Run AVG Anti-Spyware.

- Click on the "Scanner" icon just to the right of the Update icon. In the Scanner window, click on the "Settings" tab.
- Under "How to act?", click on "Recommended actions" and choose "Delete" from the resulting menu.
- All boxes under "How to scan" and "Possibly unwanted..." should be checked.
- Under "Reports", check "Automatically generate report after every scan".
- Under "What to scan", select "Scan every file".
- Click on the "Scan" tab, and then click on "Complete System Scan" to start scanning. It usually takes at least 40 minutes to complete a full scan.

Once the scan is complete, a window listing all infected objects (if any are found) will be displayed. Below the list of infected objects, make sure the Set all elements to: option is set to Delete and then click the Apply all actions button.

After the malicious items are deleted, you will be given the option to save the scan report; do that. The report is saved as a text file in the C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\Reports folder. (The actual filename is a combination of the date and time of the scan.)


* 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".
Search for the following files and delete them if found:

C:\WINDOWS\VoiceIP.dll
C:\WINDOWS\mxTarget.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\SWin32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe <-Note that there is a valid Windows file named "svchost.exe" in the C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder, be sure to delete only the version of svchost.exe found in the C:\WINDOWS folder!!

Delete the C:\Program Files\Srng and C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools folders entirely and then empty your Recycle Bin.


5. Reboot the computer normally, open the AVG Anti-Spyware report in Windows Notepad, and Cut-N-Paste the entire contents of that report into a post in this thread. Run a new HijackThis scan and post that log as well.

i followed your instructions all the way until the end with no problems. in step 4, the 4 files and 2 folders that you listed couldn't be found in my computer.

Good job- except for one leftover, your log is clean now :)

Having you manually search for the 4 files and two folders was just a double-check to verify that they were really deleted by the utilities (which they appear to have been).

1. Run another HijackThis scan, put a check in the box to the left of the following entry, and then click the "Fix checked" button. This time, do not close HijackThis yet:

O23 - Service: .NET Framework Service (.NET Connection Service) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe (file missing)

* In HijackThis' main window, click on Config, then Misc Tools, and then press the Delete an NT service.. button. When it opens, copy-n-paste the following in the deletion box and press OK:

.NET Connection Service

* Close HijackThis after that.


2. Disable and then re-enable your System Restore feature to delete the contents of the Restore folder. Instructions for doing that, as well as an explanation of why you're doing it, are posted here.


3. Once you've completed steps #1 and #2, please run a (hopefully) final HJT scan and post the new log. Also let us know how the system seems to functioning now.

i wasn't able to follow this step:


* In HijackThis' main window, click on Config, then Misc Tools, and then press the Delete an NT service.. button. When it opens, copy-n-paste the following in the deletion box and press OK:

.NET Connection Service


the following warning comes up:
"The service .NET Connection Service is enabled/running. Please disable it...." even after i've Fix Checked the 023-service:..... previously as instructed.

i suspect its because in HijackThis, under Config then Main, the setting "Make backups before fixing" is checked.

should i uncheck it?

Sorry- I should have had you check to make sure that the service was disabled before we attempted to delete it. HijackThis can't delete a service if it is running. This should do the trick:

1. Open the Services utility in your Administrative Tools control panel.

* In the list of services, locate the service named ".NET Framework Service" or ".NET Connection Service" 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.


2. Open HijackThis, and in the main window, click on Config, then Misc Tools, and then press the Delete an NT service.. button. When it opens, copy-n-paste the following in the deletion box and press OK:

.NET Connection Service

* Close HijackThis after that.

Let us know if that works, and give us a new HijackThis log please.

hi, here's my new Hijackthis log

mm the same symptoms still seem to be persisiting though, Internet Explorer and MSN messenger 7.5 always freezes after a few minutes, MSN messenger usually immediately after logging on. After Ending Task, the internet connection is completely broken and can only be reaccessed after restarting the computer..

AVG anti-spyware scan still comes out clean

mm the same symptoms still seem to be persisiting though...

That's not totally unusual, but at least now your system is clean, so we don't have to worry about further complications caused by the infections.

Let's have a look at your Event Logs and see if Windows has been able to record any error messages that might offer details of the IE/Messenger crashes/hangs:

* Open the Event Viewer utility in your Administrative Tools control panel and look through your System and Application logs for entries flagged with "Error" or "Warning", especially those whose time-stamps coincide with the occurence of the problem(s).

* Double-clicking on such an entry will open a properties window with more detailed information on the error; post the details from a representative sample of some of the different error messages (please don't post duplicates of a given entry, or flood us with the entire contents of the logs).

* To post the details:
In the Properties window of a given entry, click on the button with the graphic of two pieces of paper on it; the button is at the right of the window just below the up arrow/down arrow buttons. You won't see anything happen when you click the button, but it will copy all of the details to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste the details into your next post here.

.

Hey, I hope someone still checks this that can help... I have the same problem, Outlook started freezing, then MSN messenger, now Bitcomet and IE is starting to slow down too... I tried uninstalling and reinstalling stuff, didn't work. I don't have Winfax. I have now uninstalled Outlook and MSN Messenger and am using Mercury and Firefox, but I know the problem is still there... I ran Spybot and antivirus, no help, I also ran Regcure which cleaned up a bunch of stuff, still no help. I have Norton systemworks 2003 and Office 2003 with all the updates.. attached is my Hijack this log, Thank you for the help...

Hi jsh.

First of all- welcome to Daniweb :).

We ask that members not piggy-back questions on to a thread previously started by another member here in the Viruses, Spyware & other Nasties forum, (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/faq.php?faq=daniweb_faq#faq_rules


Thanks for understanding.
