Spyware Warrior

[a0nghus]

Hi there

I have used anti spyware software (microsoft, lavasoft, spybot) but the spyware always comes back. Also Nail.exe seems to keep reappearing.

I have broadband access but it is very slow and I have been told that it may relate to the spyware.

I attach the Hijack This Log:

Many thanks for any assistance

Hi a0nghus,


First, you have the Epolvy trojan.
It is this entry in your current log:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [yyujlb] :\windows\system32\twyzmw.exe rr

The name and the file may change. The only thing "constant" is the lonely "r" as a parameter at the end of the entry.
Try this step, but keep in mind that the file name may be different. So run HJT first, then look for the file with the "r" next to it and follow these steps for the newly named file.

********************

Set Windows to view hidden and system files:
Open the Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options - View [tab]:

Scroll down to the "Files and Folders" section.
Select: "Display the contents of system folders".

Scroll down to the "Hidden Files and Folders" section.
Select: "Show hidden files and folders", Ok the prompt
Uncheck: "Hide file extensions for known file types"
Uncheck: "Hide protected operating system files" Ok the Prompt, click Apply

Click the "Apply to all Folders" button. Close Windows Explorer.

After you're cleaned, please "rehide" them again.
_ _ _ _

Then we need to get some free tools, but they have to be run in Safe mode so for now, just download them.


Please download, install, and update the free version of Ewido trojan scanner from here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Update it, but don't run it yet.

When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK.
From the main ewido screen, click on update in the left menu, then click the "Start update" button.
After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful").
_ _ _ _ _

Then please download Nailfix from here:
http://www.noidea.us/easyfile/file.php?download=20050711214630636

Unzip it to the desktop but again, please don't run it yet.
_ _ _ _ _ _

To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:
CCleaner It will put a shortcut on your Desktop, but don't run it yet.
___________________


Download Process Explorer from http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html
- Unzip ProcessExplorer into it's own folder.
- Open the folder and run Procexp.exe.

In the list of processes, find twyzmw.exe (substitute the current O4 line random filename from the just completed HJT scan).
- Right click on the process and select "Suspend".
- Leave ProcessExplorer running

Back in HJT, in the lower right click on "Config..."
- Under the "Misc Tools" tab, open "Delete a file on Reboot".
- In the 'File Name' box, enter C:\WINDOWS\system32\twyzmw.exe (substitute the current O4 line path and filename)
- Click OK and allow the system to reboot.

As it reboots, go into Safe mode (tap F8 while restarting).

********

Open (double click) on the Nailfix folder (that you downloaded earlier), then 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 open CCleaner. Click on CCleaner to start it. Then click "Run Cleaner".

Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
If running Firefox: click on the "Applications" tab and uncheck "Cookies" under "Firefox".
Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.

_ _ _

When that's done, run Ewido trojan scanner.
Click on the Scanner button in the left menu, then click on the Start button. This scan can take quite a while to run.

If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. You can select "clean" and check the boxes "Perform action with all infections" and "Create encrypted backup" before clicking on OK.
When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file. Please then paste the contents of the text file to you next reply.
And please post a new HJT log also....

Hi Autodad

Many thanks for your assistance. I have followed the steps and attach the Ewido report and HJT log. Looks like the file with the r at the end has been removed.

Can you let me know if all ok?

Hi a0nghus,

You're welcome.

Please follow the steps in this link to remove NewDotNet:
http://www.newdotnet.com/removal.html

While still in Add/Remove Programs....
Also remove any other suspicious programs, or ones that you didn't install yourself.
If you're not sure, post a list of your programs here, and I'll look through it.

To post a list of your programs:
Open HijackThis, click Config, click Misc Tools
Click "Open Uninstall Manager"
Click "Save List" (generates uninstall_list.txt)
Click Save, copy and paste the results in your next post.
_ _ _ _ _

Open Hijackthis, click Scan, then put a check next to the following entries:

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: Trixie.Bho - {B0744341-96E0-4341-9ED2-8BC36CE0CCD0} - mscoree.dll (file missing)

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BA52B914-B692-46c4-B683-905236F6F655} - (no file)


Now Close all open Windows and browsers (have only HJT open) and click "Fix Checked".


Then reboot and please post a new HJT log, and let us know what problems you have, if any.

[a0nghus]

Hi Autodad

Many thanks.

I couldn't find Newdotnet on my computer at all! I attach the Uninstall list from HJT. Maybe you will see some other stuff that I need to remove.

I also attach the latest HJT log after fixing the checked boxes. Let me know what you think?

Also I want to make sure that I keep my PC clean. I have stopped using IE and now have Firefox. Also I downloaded Zonealarm firewall and Microsoft antispyware. I also use AVG virus checker. Do you think I should be ok or can you advise me further.

Regards
Aonghus

Hi a0nghus,

You're welcome.

As for removing the best deals.....

Open HijackThis.
Click the "Open the Misc Tools section" button.
Next click "Open Uninstall Manager..." button.
Highlight (click on) the program that you want to remove.
Then click "Delete this entry".
Do that for each program needed to be removed.


Other than that, looks clean!

If you're not having any problems, then here are some suggestions to clean/protect your PC:
(Some may be redundant, so only use those that apply...)

I recommend that you get AdAware SE
Install The Program and Run it. Make Sure You Click the "Check for Updates" Button before starting a scan.
Do a scan with AdAware and Remove Everything it suggests.

Then, also get Spybot: Search and Destroy
Check for Updates first, download ALL Updates and Do a Scan.
When finished, make sure ALL RED items have been ticked, and click the "Fix Selected Problems" Button.

Keep them updated, and run them periodically.
_ _ _ _ _

Then click Start | Run (type) cleanmgr
Select the following:
1) Temporary Internet Files
2) Recycle Bin
3) Temporary Files

When completed Reboot.
_ _ _ _ _

Also go to Windows Update to keep up on all the latest security patches that apply to your PC.
Check Windows' Update site frequently, as new patches come out often. You don't need to install all the updates offered, but ALWAYS get the latest security updates available.
_ _ _ _ _

Then, it is not an option these days to be on the internet without and Updated Anti-Virus. If you have one, check it for updates frequently (or set it to "Auto" update). If you don't have one, or can't afford one, a good free one to use is AVG .
Have a look at this link: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/avg7.htm

Just as it is important to have an updated Anti-virus, it's equally important to have a Firewall these days. Again, if you can't afford one, this is a good free one:

Sygate Personal Firewall.
_ _ _ _ _

Then I recommend you clean out your System Restore
Doing this will remove all your restore points, and any infections that might be hanging in there.

Click Start > Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check the "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives".
Click Apply.
Click Yes to do this.
Click OK.
Then Restart your computer.

After you have restarted, turn System Restore back on:
Click Start.
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Uncheck the "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Then create a new restore point once you have System Restore back on.
To create a new System Restore Point, click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore.
When the System Restore Utility opens, click "Create a Restore Point" then click Next.
Enter a name for this Restore Point, and click Create.
_ _ _ _ _

Here is a link that explains how to Clear Out Forgotten Programs, Free Up Wasted Space, Defragment Your Computer, etc...

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/northrup_restoreperf.mspx
_ _ _ _ _

Here are some good links to follow to make your Internet Explorer more secure:

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
_ _ _ _ _

Here is some free protection you should also consider:
Download and install:

SpywareBlaster will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies.

IESPYAD puts over 4000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.

Check them for updates occasionally.


And also see So how did I get infected in the first place?

Let us know if you have any concerns,

Stay safe!
