I think my Explorer has been hijacked. I get lots of pop-ups, then sometimes Explorer just shuts down. have run the HJT program that I saw in the other messages, but not sure if that's my problem, am including that just in case. Please help. not sure what other info is needed.

The best thing to do is to first run Spybot and afterwards (if left) removing these:

Have hijackthis fix the following items. Make sure you have no browser windows open when you click "fix checked"'

sorry about that :o

Yes, scan and fix all items maked in red.

Just for precaution perform an online virus scan at Trend Micro's Housecall. Remove every virus, that it finds.

Close all windows & rescan with hijackthis and post the log here.

Thanks for the info, I ran Spybot, said it blocked 1776 bad files (or something like that). do I run HJT again to get what's left? do I reboot first then run HJT, sorry am not clear on how I should proceed

avolv 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 2 · 2004-06-15T09:43:48+00:00

went out to read a couple of other threads where people are having silmilar problems, those said to update spybot before running it, I didn't do that. should I re-run? I will wait to get further instructions, thank you.

I did the scan & fix, then ran the Housecall Scan, got rid of about 20 files, but there was 1 (one) that wouldn't clean or delete. TROJ DYFUCA.M file name: C:\Windows\nem218.dll cannot be deleted. says: Unable to clean because file is currently in use. Tried to delete from explorer, but that wouldn't work either.

Try removing this thread

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {F7F808F0-6F7D-442C-93E3-4A4827C2E4C8} - C:\WINDOWS\nem218.dll

and then ctrl+alt+del and then (if its in there) Nem218.dll if you have winXP or 2k you'll have to do it with task manager.

Then try manual deletion again

afterwards run Trojanhunter for against the trojan. The trial version works fine.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it B4 scanning.
In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to
'scan within archives,'
'scan active processes,'
'scan registry,'
'deepscan registry'
'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,'
'scan my host's file.'
In 'tweaks' under 'scanning engine' set it to 'unload recognised processes during scanning.'
Also in 'tweaks' under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion' & 'let Windows remove files in use at next reboot.'
Select 'activate in-depth scan' before starting scan.
When the scan is finished select 'next.'
Remove what it finds by placing a check in the box to the left of the object. Reboot

Then post another log.

one more thing, I've got a bunch of back up files in my Downloads folder. some of those are the files I got rid of earlier. I'm afraid to delete them or do anything with them for fear they will start up again. any suggestions? I've gotten 2 popups, nothing like before but makes me a little nervous..?

Hijackthis creates backups of what its fixes ,it should have been in a folder of its own ,.like this .Do the following and you can then move the files in mydownloads to the folder also .

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
Unzip HijackThis into this folder. When you run HijackThis from this folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary.

NOTE: Please, copy and paste this post into notepad and save to you desktop. or print a copy of these instructions because you will be working with all windows closed except HijackThis.
