Hi :)

HijackThis is looking good now. The only process tha should have ben stopped was this flec006.exe I'll try to make my instructions clearer.

You don't have an antivirus on your computer, you must install one antivirus. Otherwise you'll get infected again.

These are good (free) antiviruses:
Then I recommend one more scan...

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
      Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
    • Scan Options:
      Scan Archives
      Scan Mail Bases

  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:
      Select My Computer
  • This will program will start and scan your system.
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
    • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
  • Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Thought I had the AVG loaded, but I guess it was not the antivirus program. The newest AVG scan got this:

Trojan horse Collected.9.AN" "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\d3ui32.dll" "2/11/2007 10:48:35 AM" "d3ui32.dll" "88 KB"

Hi :)

The infection you had propably removed AVG from your computer.
Did you let AVG remove the found infection ? If not, please delete the following file manually:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\d3ui32.dll

There were some infections in Housecall and Spybot Quarantine...

How is the computer running at the moment? Any issues?

AVG removed the file d3ui32.dll.

I have Spy-Bot running again and it found a few things. I also loaded SpyBlaster and have it running.

I haven't had any problems lately with returned emails from addresses that I never sent anything to, which I believe is an indicator that the computer was hijacked.

For a summary I am running Comodo firewall in a "learning mode." It has intercepted 35 "severe events" in the last three days.

AVG anti virus
AVG anti spy ware
SpyBlaster

Adaware installed
SpyBot Search and Destroy installed
Trojan Hunter installed
A Squared installed

Do I need anything else?

How do you remove the stuff that is in quarantine? I would rather have the files deleted completely.

Can you suggest a good Anti-Spam?

Thanks

Hi :)

OK good. Log entries in Comodo is a sign that the firewall is working correctly.

Sounds like a good arsenal against malware.

The quarantines...

You may clean the following folder manually (delete the files in it):
C:\Documents and Settings\Robert Cummins\.housecall6.6\Quarantine

Then Open Spybot S&D, click on "Recovery", select all entries and then click on "Purge selected items"and answer "Yes"

Now you can clean AVG's Quarantine:
  • Open AVG Anti-Spyware
  • Click Infections
  • Click Quarantine tab
  • Click Select all
  • Click Remove finally
  • Close the program
You can remove the tools we used.

Now you can make your hidden files hidden again.
  • Go to My Computer
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options
  • Click the View tab.
  • Checkmark the "Display the contents of system folders"
  • Under the Hidden files and folders select "Show hidden files and folders"
  • Check "Hide protected operating system files"
  • Click Apply and then the OK and close My Computer.

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

You already have nice collection of security programs but here are some more hints.

Now that you seem to be clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
  • Use ATF Cleaner
    Download and install ATF Cleaner. Clean your temporary files & folders with it regularly.
  • Install MVPS Hosts file
    This prevents your computer from connecting to harmful sites.
  • Use Firefox browser
    Firefox is faster and safer browser than Internet Explorer.
  • Keep your systen up-to-date
    Visit Windows Update regularly.
  • Keep your antivirus and firewall up-to-date
    Scan your computer regularly with your antivirus.
  • Read this article by TonyKlein
    So how did I get infected in the first place?
  • Stand Up and Be Counted !
    The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.


Stay clean and be safe ;)

A few issues if you have the time.

FYI AVG now calls their quarantine the "Virus Vault"

I use CCleaner as it has a register utility. OK?

I understand what the intent of the MVP hosts file is for, but don't know what is to be done to install and use it. I assume you periodically have to go back and get updates?

When I went to the MSFT updates and tried to set up Automatic Updates I was not able to run the file: services.misc

I received a message that the file was not found or component missing - make sure the path and file name are correct....

Do these fall within your domain for fixes.

Thanks

Hi :)

Yes in AVG antivirus it is called Virus Vault and in AVG Anti-Spyware it is Quarantine. You may clean them both...

Yes CCleaner is ok, no need for ATF Cleaner then. Just remembre to allow the backups when you clean the registry.

The hosts file. Basically you just donwload and extract the hosts.zip eg to desktop and run the file mvps.bat. It installs the hosts file. Yes it is good to update it whenever a new version is available.

Here are instructions for Automatic Updates -> Link

Let me know if you got any questions :)

Hello Mr undersore JAk3,

I think I have completed everything that is to be done. I found the automatic updates in the system folder which I should have been able to find without asking you. It evidently worked OK...maybe.

Many thanks for all of your help. I really appreciate the time you have taken to work out all these virus issues. You perform an admirable service!!

I have one more request. Can you please recommend a good Windows repair site. After getting the updates and starting to reply to your post my computer locked up. Everything has slowed to a crawl and my CPU usage has maxed out at 100% just to make an internet connection and it literally took about 5 minutes after the computer took about 5 minutes to boot to get back on the internet. I have a dia-up connection which doesn't help matters, but it is still excessively slow. Evidently I have other problems now other thatn just viruses,

When will it all end? (rhetorical question NRE)

Later,
StilettoRed

Hi :)

The slowness might be caused by the large hosts file you just installed. This can be easily fixed. Did you check the editor's note from mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm ?

Editors Note: in most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to slow down the machine. This only occurs in W2000 and XP. Windows 98 and ME are not affected.

To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor"
  • Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
  • Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
  • Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
  • Select: Manual, or Disabled (recommended) click Apply/Ok and restart.

Please let me know if this helped :D

Yes sir, I made the changes and everything appears to be back to normal. However, in my case "slow down" was a misnomer. The computer came to a screeching halt and fell on its side. I had to remove power to get it to reboot.

Again, thanks for your help.

Aside from all the BS we had to go through it has been my pleasure to meet you.

Best of luck to you Mr_JAk3.
