Hi! :hello2: and welcome to the Malware Removal forums.
My name is John Brouwer - if it helps, you can call me John for short. I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

HijackThis logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me. I know that you need
your computer working as quickly as possible, and I will work hard to help see that happens.

These rules are good for you to know:
  • I will working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
  • If you don't reply within five days after my last instructions this topic will be closed. If you will not be able to reply within five days please tell me how long it will take so the topic will not be closed.

These rules are to make my voluntary work more comfortable:
  • Please be patient. The work I do is voluntary and I also have a private life (school, work, friends and hobbies).
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
  • Also, don't post logs as attachments. Other helpers like to view the logs as well and opening a lot of attachments is irritating. It can also contain malware.

Finally, please make a uninstall list using HijackThis
To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:
  • Start HijackThis
  • Click on the Open The Misc Tool Section button
  • Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.
  • Click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Save the file to your desktop and post the contents in a reply to this topic. Also post a new HijackThis log.

Regards,
John.

Hi,

Before I start I would like to know if you know about these lines:
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present


This is what they represent:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutoria ... tml#O6Diag
This section corresponds to an Administrative lock down for changing the options or homepage in Internet explorer by changing certain settings in the registry.


They could be set by you, or if you are not the owner of the computer maybe the owner has set it. It could also have been malware, so that is why I am asking.

Are you the real owner of this computer or is this a corporate machine? Or have you set those restrictions yourself because you want to protect it against, for instance, children.

Please let me know if this is a corporate machine and if you have set those or not.

Regards,
John.

Hello John

No i'm afraid i know nothing of this. I am not that p.c literate. I have not set anything to do with internet explorer.

I can remember i had loads of trouble with it (internet explorer 7) when it was downloaded and installed with a windows update. I lost the internet options icon on the control panel and it took ages of searching, uninstalling and reinstalling to get the icon back up.

Many people have told me i should have downloaded the update from microsoft and then clicked "custom install" and not installed IE7 as they said it was still in beta whatever that means.

My internet options icon looks different to other peoples who have IE6 still installed.

That's about all i can tell you John. This is my own p.c not on any network, just in my home.

Sorry to sound vague but i am not that much up on computing that's why i posted the log on the forum. I didn't know if anything needed deleting so i leave well alone and hope more experienced people can help.

Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

Not a problem at all, just needed to know that. Let's fix some orphaned stuff and run a scanner. I have spotted some malware but do not yet know what it exactly is.

Step 1: Remove HijackThis entries
  • Run HijackThis
  • Click on the Scan button
  • Put a check beside all of the items listed below (if present):

    O2 - BHO: IEDfenderBHO - {FC8A493F-D236-4653-9A03-2BF4FD94F643} - (no file)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE

    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present


  • Close all open windows and browsers/email, etc...
  • Click on the "Fix Checked" button
  • When completed, close the application.

Step 2: Download and Run ComboFix
Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix. For information on how to disable your anti virus program please see this:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html

Go on with the ComboFix guide when it opens its log please close it.

Remember that the ComboFix log is saved here: C:\ComboFix.txt

Step 3: Post logs
Please post the following logs in a reply to this topic:
  • New HijackThis log
  • ComboFix log

Regards,
John.

Hello John

Hope you had a good weekend.

I have run the scans as you asked (took me a while to read and understand the combofix tutorial but i carefully went through it very carefully and it went as the tutorial said...Phew)

Scans are below.

BTW 2 things

I deleted the 06 policy restrictions in Hijack this log (2) as you asked but noticed there were another 2 the same. I have left these just in case you wanted them left, please advise if you want me to delete these also.

It maybe a clue for you or might be another problem. Sometimes when i click restart the p.c shuts down and i have to boot it up again, as i say this may be an XP issue and not maleware but i thought i should tell you anyway.

Unread postby John B. » March 9th, 2009, 11:03 am

Hi,

I have run the scans as you asked (took me a while to read and understand the combofix tutorial but i carefully went through it very carefully and it went as the tutorial said...Phew)

Looks like you did it really good. Everything was disabled and the scanner did what it should.

I deleted the 06 policy restrictions in Hijack this log (2) as you asked but noticed there were another 2 the same. I have left these just in case you wanted them left, please advise if you want me to delete these also.

Sorry for not making that clear. They should have been deleted.

It maybe a clue for you or might be another problem. Sometimes when i click restart the p.c shuts down and i have to boot it up again, as i say this may be an XP issue and not maleware but i thought i should tell you anyway.

We will target these things after you are all clean.

Your log looks much better, but I just want to be sure ComboFix got all. That is why we will run one more scanner.

Step 1: Remove HijackThis entries
  • Run HijackThis
  • Click on the Scan button
  • Put a check beside all of the items listed below (if present):

    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present


  • Close all open windows and browsers/email, etc...
  • Click on the "Fix Checked" button
  • When completed, close the application.

Step 2: Download and Run ATF Cleaner
Download ATF (Atribune Temp File) Cleaner© by Atribune to your desktop.

Double-click ATF Cleaner.exe to open it.

Under Main choose:
Windows Temp
Current User Temp
All Users Temp
Cookies
Temporary Internet Files
Prefetch
Java Cache

*The other boxes are optional*
Then click the Empty Selected button.

Firefox:
Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

Opera:
Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Step 3: Download and Run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to:
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Close the Notepad file.
  • The log file is saved here and will be named like this: C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\mbam-log-date (time).txt

Step 4: Show your hidden files
To enable the viewing of Hidden files follow these steps:
  • Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.
  • Double-click on the My Computer icon (or click Start, then select My Computer)
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • After the new window appears select the View tab.
  • Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders.
  • Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders.
  • Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types.
  • Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files.
  • Press the Apply button and then the OK button and shutdown My Computer.
    Now your computer is configured to show all hidden files.

Step 5: Delete file
Use Explorer to navigate to and delete the following file (if present):

C:\WINDOWS.0\system32\twex.exe

Now just exit Explorer.

Step 6: Reboot your computer
To make sure everything has taken effect.

Step 7: Post logs
Please post the following logs in a reply to this topic (use multiple posts if needed):
  • Tell me how your computers. Explain in detail what problems you still have (if any).
  • New HijackThis log
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware log

Regards,
John.

Hi John

I've done all you asked in your last post and the logs are listed below for your inspection.

I opened explorer and looked for the file in windows sytem 32 folder but all that was in there was twext.dll. Hope i did this correctly as i've never used explorer before. I did also search for it with the search function but it said nothing was found. Your advise on this if you would be so kind (if i did it correctly and should i leave twext.dll there)

I have put the file system back as it was i.e reversed all the check marks etc that you told me to do, i did this after all your instructions had been completed.

The system seems to be running better and quicker than before. So far when i restart my system it does it o.k and hasn't shut down aas it usually does now and then, or maybe i've just been lucky.

Anyway logs for your inspection

Hi Steve,

Your advise on this if you would be so kind (if i did it correctly and should i leave twext.dll there)

Well, take a look at this:
http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/twext/
twext.dll is a module associated with Microsoft® Windows® Operating System from Microsoft Corporation.

You did right by keeping it, in case you do not understand the above ;)

The system seems to be running better and quicker than before. So far when i restart my system it does it o.k and hasn't shut down aas it usually does now and then, or maybe i've just been lucky.

What I hoped to hear.

This is my normal post for when you are clear - which you now are - or seem to be.
Please advise of any problems you still have. If you think you're clean please give one more reply so that I can archive this topic.

Now that you are clean, I got some tips & tricks for you to keep your computer clean and secure. The first few (like removing dangerous tools and Windows Update) have to be done, the others are optional (beginning with SpywareBlaster).

It may seem like your system will be too much protected with all these things installed, but a lot of programs aren't running always on the background so don't slow down your computer. Please take a look at the following things:
  • Uninstall tools - The following will not only uninstall ComboFix but also clean up some other dangerous tools and backups, clean up the System Restore points and hide the system files.
    • Go to Start
    • Click on Run
    • Type ComboFix /u (Note: This command is case sensitive.)
    After doing that with ComboFix, do this with OTCleanIt to remove the tools not removed by ComboFix.
    • Download OTCleanIt from http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/ol ... leanIt.exe to your desktop.
    • Click the OTCleanIt icon on your desktop.
    • Click the CleanUp button.
    • If you get any pop ups asking if it is OK let the program proceed.
    • At the end the program will ask to let it reboot the computer. Let it do so.
    You may delete any logs and other tools left on the desktop.
  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    • Click once on the Security tab
    • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    • Click once on the Custom Level button.
      • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
      • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
      • Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
      • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
      • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
      • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
      • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
      • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
    • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  • Update your Anti Virus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  • Visit Microsoft's Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://update.microsoft.com/ regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  • Install WinPatrol - As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge. You can download it from this website:
    WinPatrol
    The developer is a well-known man in the MalWare Removal business. If you really like WinPatrol think about upgrading to the PLUS version. It will give you additional features and you will only have to pay once, for your whole malware-free life.
  • Install MVPS HOSTS - This custom hosts file effectively blocks a wide range of unwanted ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.
    For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial here:
    WinHelp2002
    Note: Be sure to follow the instructions to disable the DNS Client service before installing a custom hosts file.
  • Use an alternative Internet Browser - Many of the exploits are directed to users of Internet Explorer. Try using a different browser instead:
    Firefox << Most used, I use this one myself.
    Opera
  • Bookmark general cleanup link - It could be that your computer is becoming slower and slower. This is not always the cause of malware. Most of the times it's malware when you're computer is suddenly getting slow or doing strange. When the slowdown increases slowly, check (so now bookmark) this link for tips & tricks:
    What to do if your Computer's running slowly
  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Stand Up and Be Counted!
