Need help Spyware, possibly Virus? Have HiJackThis log

Unread postby tanya » March 22nd, 2005, 9:55 pm

I've tried everything I can think of. Used Spybot and Ad-awareSE, but it's not getting any better. Can't use email anymore, limited internet. I really don't even know what to do with this HiJackThis log, just downloaded it and ran it because that seems like what everyone else is doing. Any chance you could look at this log and help me figure out what to do next? Thank you for any help you can provide...

Hi and welcome to the forums. My name is wng_z3r0 and I will be looking over your log. Please allow me some time to research your system.
In the meantime:
Please "Bookmark" or "Add to favorites" your thread so that you easily can find it again. It easy to loose track of it because of the volume in this forum.
You should also go the dark blue lines above your first post in the thread and click "Track this topic". A list of options will open. Select "Immediate Email Notification" and click "Proceed"
This should result in you getting an E-mail whenever anybody posts anything in your thread. However, it is still a good idea to check it once in a while.
If you can not find your post please do as follows. Be sure that you are logged in. At the top of the page on the same line that shows that you are logged in there is "My Assistant". Click it and a new window opens. Under "Show me" there is "My last 10 posts" Click it and one or more posts will open. Go to the bottom of the post you want and click "Post Preview:#XXXXXXXXX" where X is a digit. This will bring you to your thread.

Also do these things:

It appears that you have an out of date version of hijack this installed.
To update to a later version please follow all of these steps:
1. Click on start (located on the lower left hand corner of your screen)
2. Click on My Computer
3. double click on c:
4. find the folder called "Program files" and double click that folder
5.In the program files folder, click the file menu, then click new->folder
6.Name the folder HJT
7.Look below to my signature :weee: Click on the link named "hijack this"
8. If it asks you if you want to run, save, or cancel the file click save
9. Browse to this location: c:/program files/HJT and save the file there
10. When the download is complete, go to c:/program files/hjt and extract the folder.
11.delete the zipped folder. You will not need it anymore.



Also, please download and run this program
http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee ... tinger.exe


When that is done, run Hijack This and post a new log by replying to this log. Please do not post your response in a different thread.

Good luck,
wng

First of all...I just want to say WOW...can't believe how fast you responded. Thank you for being so prompt.

OK, I download new version of HJT and the McAfee-avert\stinger, which I ran the scan and it came back clean.

Here is the newest log file from HJT...

Hi there, and welcome to the forums!


The following items are malware and must be fixed

  • Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.
  • Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://srch-us4.hpwis.com/
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://rl.webtracer.cc/-/?bayzm
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://rl.webtracer.cc/-/?bayzm
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost
    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file)

    O19 - User stylesheet: C:\WINDOWS\stsheets.dat

    Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.
  • Reboot into Safe Mode: please see here if you are not sure how to do this.

    Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:

    C:\WINDOWS\stsheets.dat

    Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look.

Hi! Chris was covering for me as I was out of town.

While there are several bad lines in your log, I believe that one line is the key to this mess. We will focus on getting rid of it first.

Please print these instructions or copy them to notepad. Then close all other windows and follow the steps below.
By your log, I have noticed that you have multiple anti-virus programs running:
Norton antivirus
Mcaffe

Running multiple anti-virus programs creates conflicts, and can render both programs useless to keeping your system secure. Please choose which antivirus product you wish to keep. Then uninstall the other anti-virus.

After you have uninstalled the anti-virus program, reboot your computer and then download CWshredder here:
http://cwshredder.net/bin/CWShredder.exe

when it is done downloading, read this line first:
1. you will need to close ALL windows including internet browsers and windows folders.
2. double click cwshredder
3. CLick the fix button
4. when it is done, note what infections (if any) were cleaned
5. come back to notepad and finish the fix

Download rootkit reveal here http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freew ... veal.shtml
(the download link is at the bottom of the page) Post the log here.

Then download registry search tool here:
http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/

Mcaffe/NAV might have a problem with this download because it is a script file. If the antivirus gives you trouble, just disable it temporarily...
Once it is downloaded, unzip it. Then double click on the script. In the search box, type stsheets
Post back the log.


Good luck,
wng

Ok, thanks for the information. I hope your vacation was good! :)
I removed McAffe, rebooted, then downloaded and ran CWShredder, but it came back saying "none infected"

Next I downloaded rootkit reveal, the scan came back clean, "no discrepancies found".

finally, I downloaded the registry search tool and here is the log...

Ok! good job so far. Now go back to that registry search tool and search for
Vchnt5u

Download locate.bat here:
http://www.atribune.org/downloads/locate.zip
Then unzip it, run the program, and post the results.
Also download killbox here and save it to your desktop. Don't use it yet, but we will need it later. Download it here:

****Also, I downloaded locate.bat and tried to run the program but I kept getting an error. (maybe I was doing something wrong) I tried several times to run it....here is the error I received....

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
C:\Windows\System32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows Applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the Application. 'Close' 'Ignore'

I tried choosing Close and Ignore, but still nothing....sorry

So, I just moved on and downloaded killbox.

Let me know what else you would like me to do....
