Hey new here and have seen you help alot of people out!

one day turned on the PC and mcafee came up with some warnings "svchost.exe has changed since you last gave it access to the internet" and the same for a few other things. so im guessing ive got a trojan/virus!

on top of this i cannot get into any microsoft websites/services, IE will not work, ebay, facebook, hotmail, msn all come up with "page cannot be displayed" when i try to sign in. so here is my log would appreciate it if you could take a look!

Basic questions, is your broadband/dial up fully plugged in and is conencted.
Or do you operate through a LAN?

yes its all connected! everything works (slowly) and the pc has become slow outside of the internet too

What antivirus programme are you running?
And have you done a virus/spyware scan recently?

i have Mcafee but its only 7.0

done many virus scans, mcafee picks up nothing, online ones pick up quite a few but are unable to get rid of them

What is your computer? Can you include the specs as well please.

its a packard bell, not sure about the specs!

Does your network connections say you are conencted to the internet?
Does this affect only the pages you said earlier, or are all of the websites unable to load?
Have you tried Firefox just to check that IE is your problem, and not your interent conenction in general.
If not then the Viruses are causing your problems, try AVG antivirus to get rid of them. There is a free version and i hear it is quite good.

Hello there, if you notice that your PC is running slow, it maybe possible that computer is still infected. In addition to viruses, your computer may be infected with spywares, Trojans, worms, adwares and other malwares. Please let us know what type of computer you have and also what anti-virus program you’ve used. Personally, if a PC is infected, I do recommend using more than one antiviris program to help you. My personal recommendation for cleanup softwares are : Adware SE, ACE, Avast, AVG, Mcafee, ParetoLogic XoftSpySE, PREVX and spyware be-gone. Also, I do recommend that you clean/restore your registry files…if these are corrupted, your PC will slow down. The software to help you with your registry: RegCure and Regpair. Some of the above mentioned programs can be downloaded at www.cnet.com. Please use these utilities and let’s know the outcome. Thank you and have a good day. With regards to pop-ups, have you tried simply using a pop-up blocker? The removal of viruses and other malwares does affect your PC registry. Also, there are softwares out there such as “Explorer Repair” that resets your TCP/IP settings, deletes ARP Cache, repair your host files, checks your winsock files . Hopefully, one of the guys will be able to address your log file and get back to you.

yeh it says im connected.

it only effects the websites i listed, but the whole computer is acting weird, definately not just an internet problem. i'll give AVG a go, cheers!

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ysjx.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\winctl.dll

Search for...

MRT.dll

...using "Start | Search...".

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

I posted just after you, so am posting this just in case you missed it :). Go up one more post.

ok, the first 3 files you wanted me to scan, i cant get that to work, it says no files upload when i try.

fixed things requested in hijack this.

deleted this :
C:\Program Files\Common Files\winctl.dll

but could not delete this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ysjx.dll

even in safe mode!!!

MRt.dll has been deleted too. any ideas how to delete YSJX.dll?

thanks!

Ok. I am pretty certain those files that would not upload are bad ones. I just wanted to confirm it.
You need to disable one of your AV's as they will conflict with each other, causing problems with the pc.
You need to uninstall the version of Java you have, then install the latest version.

========

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.

  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop

2. Copy all the text (including the 'Files to delete') contained in the code box below to your clipboard by highlighting it and pressing Ctrl+C:

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ysjx.dll
c:\windows\system32\QFb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\twain_32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\avp.exe


Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.

  • Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
  • Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script"
  • Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing (Ctrl+V).
  • Click Done
  • Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:

  • It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
  • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.

5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log by using Add/Reply

i just did what you suggested, and my computer will not even turn on now I just get a black screen and it reboots everytime. cant even load up the page to start it in safe mode :( using my brothers to do this.

Does the system post at all? I have never seen this happen when using the Avenger before.

not sure what you mean by the system posting... but what happens is this...

turn on pc, beeps, everything is normal black windows xp screen comes on with the loading bar. then i get a blank screnn, followed by the monitor turning off, then the pc, then it automatically starts up and repeats.

You should be able to get to safe mode before that screen even loads up. Keep pressing f8 as soon as you power up the pc. If you manage to get there, use system restore to go back a couple of days.

ive tried many times, on my pc to get safe mode you need to press esc instead of F8, F8 only gives options on what to boot the computer with. but for some reason ESC doesnt want to work!

I am not certain if this will help, but try clearing the cmos by moving the jumper on the motherboard to the other pins. If you do not know where this is, removing the motherboard battery for several minutes will achieve the same end.
You will need to set the clock in the BIOS again.
What is the system (brand etc) you are running? Motherboard, etc.
