Getting popup with the url...

http://fuckyou.00freehost.com/index.html

...also noticed in the popup that...

MediaTicketsInstaller

...was being installed.

In past hijackthis logs I've had instances of...

Tric - C:\WINNT\ICROSOFT.NET\nopdb.exe
Startup Entry Nhkchymj

...which I have deleted but just come back.

I also have this file...

cash**.exe (currently cash8.exe, although it has other file names, the cash part is what seems to be consistant)

...on C:\ that keeps returning even though I've booted in safe mode and deleted it.

I had a couple other hijackthis log entries I've deleted that I don't remember, but these are the things that are the most consistant. And since I have deleted all of these, I'm sure something else I DON'T SEE is actually causing all of this.

Here's my current hijackthis log...

...which you can see cash8.exe and some other stuff that I know shouldn't be there running. And if I stay on my pc long enough one or more of the other bad entries will come back, not to mention the popup hasn't gone away.

I'd love for someone to give me a little help with this, as it has gotten really annoying.

Thanks a ton, in advance

Download Spysweeper here
http://www.malwareteks.com/dload.php?action=download&file_id=5
-Update to the latest definitions and run it
-Please attach the log when returning

Download WinPFind
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/winpfind.php
-Follow step 9 here on how to properly run it:
http://wiki.castlecops.com/Vundo_Rootkit_Detection_and_Removal_Procedure
-Save the log and attach for me

Also include a new HijackThis log and we'll go from there....

Good Luck :)

Ran into a problem...

and I know this really doesn't have anything to do with you, but I followed the instructions and I COULD NOT GET WINPFIND TO RUN!

I ran it 3 times yesterday allowing it at least 3 hours. My hard drive activity would never stop but nothing else would happen either. The last time I just let it run all night while I was sleep and when I woke up still the same. Each time I ended up having to just end task.

But let me say this, shortly after I clicked the "Start Scan" button I got a message about my virtual memory being low, I clicked OK as the message said it would increase the size of the file so I thought all would be fine.

I don't know if this is a common problem or not. What I am going to try is manually increasing the size of my virtual memory and seeing if that will help the problem.

If I'm doing anything wrong, you have any suggestions, or some other program that will do the job maybe let me know.

And yeah I know it's not your job to be product support for WinPFind, I just hope maybe I'm doing something boneheaded or you've seen this before and can point me in the right direction.

We'll try WinPFind, or some other scans a little later. Just do the Spysweeper scan and remove what it finds, then let me see it and another HijackThis log. :)

Got that...

Ok - still a little more to do

Since Spysweeper detected PSGuard, let's make sure we remove it all.

Download smitRem.exe -Save it to your Desktop.
-DoubleClick it to extract the contents to a new smitRem Folder.
-Just leave it for now.

Please Boot to Safe Mode.

Go to Start>Run type Services.msc
-Locate the following two services

firefox auto update
Internet Explorer Web Browser

-Right click and choose Stop if not greyed out
-Choose Properties
-Change Startup Type to disabled

Open HijackThis
-Choose Open Misc Tools
-Choose Delete an NT Service
-Copy and paste the following one at a time and delete them

firefox auto update
Internet Explorer Web Browser

Now scan with HijackThis and check the following if they exist

O16 - DPF: {9EB320CE-BE1D-4304-A081-4B4665414BEF} (MediaTicketsInstaller Control) - http://www.mt-download.com/MediaTic....cab?refid=5172
O23 - Service: firefox auto update - Unknown owner - C:\WINNT\firefox.exe
O23 - Service: Internet Explorer Web Browser (Internet Explorer) - Unknown owner - C:\WINNT\iexplore.exe

Now close ALL Browsers and choose Fix Checked

Continuing in Safe Mode....

-Open the smitRem Folder
-DoubleClick the RunThis.bat file to run the tool.
-Follow the prompts on screen
-Allow the tool to complete its run and finish the Disk Cleanup.
-Reboot to Normal Mode
-There should be a log at C:\smitfiles.txt.

Well your HijackThis log looks fine, other than I see NO Antivirus whatsoever?

You really need to take a look here and install one of these Antiviruses & Firewalls
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread27519.html

Also unless you plan on purchasing Spysweeper you can uninstall it now. :)

...

Was that a "I have no idea what I should use" kinda "...", if so may I suggest AVG Free Edition, as you may have guessed it is free, and is very good at what it does, also unlike Norton it is easy on the resources :).

Was that a "I have no idea what I should use" kinda "..."

Oh no...the "..." was there because I couldn't post the message without a message. I really just wanted thank D3m3nt3d in the title "I will...thanks again (dno)"

But since I'm here take another look at my hijackthis log.

The last service.. O23 - Service: Windows web messenger - Unknown owner - C:\WINNT\Msnweb.exe shouldn't be there... I don't even have MSN Messenger installed...and if I did, I know it wouldn't be in c:\winnt

No it shouldn't be - and it was not until your most recent log. None of this is going to stop until you install an Antivirus.

Please do so - I use AVG. Scan with it, remove everything it finds, then attach a new HijackThis log.

We will just go in circles until an Antivirus is installed.....

Got AVG installed...found all kinds of stuff. You're right it does seemed to be a nice piece of software. This is my backup laptop and not too long ago wiped the hard drive and put 2000 on it. I've just been lazy/cheap about getting a firewall and up to date AV.

Here's the HJT log...
