I was trying to clean my sister's computer of a very bad spyware problem, but the stuff is harder than I thought. Ad-aware had 700+ things come up.

Ive done both Ad-aware and spybot and it is still hanging around. Here is the log

Let’s get to work.

Step One

Please download the following virus program which has a 30 day free trial.
Scan your computer in safe mode. If you don’t know how to boot in safe mode, there is a tutorial HERE

Do not open any folders or open the Windows Control Panel while the scan is in progress.

Reboot in normal mode.

Step Two

Please do a Trojan scan using any one of the following programs; they have a trial version that is free.:

TrojanHunter

a2 Scanner

Trojan Remover

Ewido

Please use at least one of the following reputable online scanners.

TrendMicro Housecall

Panda ActiveScan

BitDefender

This scanner from TrendMicro does not require an activeX to run, this means that you can use Firefox or any other browser to run it as long as the browser supports Java.


When you have completed the scans, if you get a report of files that can’t be cleaned / deleted, please write down the filenames and locations and post that in your reply.
Please post a new HiJackThis Log.

I am on step two of you suggestions, it has gotton very bogged down. When I restart computer in not-safe mode first i get a bunch of rundll errors then every program comes up with an unknown error and it just stops working. right now im running trojan hunter in safe-mode, hopefully it will take care of that problem. (im doing this post from my desktop computer)

If you are still having trouble getting back to normal mode, review the tutorial HERE

I checked with the experts and Kotaguy suggested

Maybe try getting rid of some of the other junk first, sue. Then go after Qoologic again. Its possible the scans he has done has killed part of the infections and that is what is causing the rundll errors he is getting.

Also, ask if he installed Kasperksy, and if these problems started after the Kaspersky scan.


Please go to the following web addresses and Download Cleanup HERE CleanUp! is a powerful and easy-to-use application that removes temporary files created while surfing the web, empties the Recycle Bin, deletes files from your temporary folders and more. Do not run it yet.

Now let’s fix some things with HiJackThis.

You may want to print out this page. Make sure to work through the fixes in the order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

Open Windows Explorer and go to tools.folder options. Click on the view tab and make sure that “Show hidden files and foldersâ€

Your log looks a lot better, Good Job. Using Cleanup is optional. If you have a program that does the same thing, then use it.

These three entries are still in your log.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KavSvc] C:\WINDOWS\ hlrnuk.exe reg_run

O4 - Startup: runp.exe

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/20d3d51f4a8 ... xIE601.cab


So let’s look at each of these files:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KavSvc] C:\WINDOWS\ hlrnuk.exe reg_run

I noticed that this entry is still in your log which indicates that we need to repeat the Kaspersky scan to get rid of the qoologic infection..

FIRST STEP: Run Kaspersky scan again. Do not open any folders or open the Windows Control Panel while the scan is in progress.

I am unfamiliar with this entry so I checked with the experts at Malware Removal University:

O4 - Startup: runp.exe

Elrond said:

The most probable source for this entry would be Command Anti-virus on a net work. It seems to be needed to start it on a 9X based system. That also looks reasonable from the R0 line.

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.EducationCentral.com/home/ which looks like a school or University or some such.

The other two that I could find were Far Eastern entries that indicated that it belongs to "Backdoor.SdBot.oz" but not really sure of that as the translation leaves something to desire. If that is so it should be fixable in HJT.


SECOND STEP: If it is connected with your work, then ignore it. If not, fix it with HiJackThis.

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/20d3d51f4a8 ... xIE601.cab]

This file is installed with RealPlayer and is classed as malware by some programs because it is a 'trickler' which means it is downloading updates and checking for patches etc all the time you are surfing without giving you the option not to do so.

You might want to read up on the thread Security vulnerabilities in realNetworks players

and

This explains about the RealPlayers effected.

THIRD STEP: If you decide to fix these two files, this is the procedure:

O4 - Startup: runp.exe

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/20d3d51f4a8 ... xIE601.cab


Please run HijackThis and click "Scan." Place checks next to the following entries (make sure not to miss any):

[b]O4 - Startup: runp.exe

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/20d3d51f4a8 ... xIE601.cab]


Close all browsers and other windows except for HijackThis, and click "Fix Checked" to have HijackThis fix the entries you checked.

Then Reboot to safe mode (F8 on boot).
NOTE: To avoid the risk of any of the files or folders not being found due to their having the 'Hidden' attribute, first make sure that in Folder Options > View hidden and operating system files are set to show:
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html
Or items 8 & 9 from this link :
http://www.russelltexas.com/malware/faqhijackthis.htm

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and DELETE them (if they are listed):


Search for and delete these folders if listed: Kaspersky scan should take care of this entry but to be sure:

C:\WINDOWS\ hlrnuk.exe reg_run

Please run HijackThis again and post a fresh log, just so I can make sure that all the malware was deleted according to plan

also when I start the virus scanner you told me to use it ways uknown error in some file and the virus scanner stops. right now I am running another scan with the avast virus scanner.


If you are still having problems with downloading/installing/scanning with Kaspersky, we need to get rid of the qoologic infection in a different way. We need to find a time that we can do the following together or else you will need to repeat the following process after I interpret (with the help of the experts at Malware Removal University) the log that FindQoologic/Narrator creates.

Let’s do this:

Create a new Folder on Desktop. Name that Folder QOOLOGIC
Please download Findqoologic into the new Folder, and then unzip it into the new Folder.

Once unzipped, open the Folder and Locate and double-click the Find-Qoologic.bat file to run it.
Wait until a text file opens, post it in a reply to your thread.
It'll take a while to run a full scan so please be patient.

Please post the contents of that text file, and then please do NOT reboot until I get back to you.

Good job! Kaspersky scan got rid of the "bad one". We have just two more entries to fix. These two entries belong to the BookedSpace variant and HiJackThis should take care of this.

Now we will address the HijackThis fixes.

Please run HijackThis and click "Scan." Place checks next to the following entries (make sure not to miss any):

O2 - BHO: CExtension Object - {0019C3E2-DD48-4A6D-ABCD-8D32436323D9} - C:\WINDOWS\CFGMGR52.DLL

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [cfgmgr52] RunDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\CFGMGR52.DLL,DllRun


Close all browsers and other windows except for HijackThis, and click "Fix Checked" to have HijackThis fix the entries you checked.

Then Reboot to safe mode (F8 on boot).
NOTE: To avoid the risk of any of the files or folders not being found due to their having the 'Hidden' attribute, first make sure that in Folder Options > View hidden and operating system files are set to show:
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html
Or items 8 & 9 from this link :
http://www.russelltexas.com/malware/faqhijackthis.htm

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and DELETE them (if they are listed):


Search for and delete these folders if listed:

C:\WINDOWS\CFGMGR52.DLL,DllRun

Let’s run your program or Cleanup to ensure no malware is hiding in temporary folders and for general computer cleanup to free space on your computer.

Please run HijackThis again and post a fresh log, just so I can make sure that all the malware was deleted according to plan

Sorry, riffa mortis. Kotaguy was kind enough to point out my mistake here,

Search for and delete these folders if listed:

C:\WINDOWS\CFGMGR52.DLL,DllRun


Should be:

Search for and delete this file if listed:

C:\WINDOWS\CFGMGR52.DLL
