My friend needs help

Unread postby williesbest2 » September 25th, 2005, 11:53 pm

One of my friends got a nasty piece of spyware on his computer. It's called EGDACCESS. I've tried everything I could possibly think of to get this nasty off.
1. Ran Counterspy (failed)
2. Ran Norton (failed)
3. Ran Spybot (failed)
4. Ran Ad-Aware (failed)
5. Ran HijackThis (detected and removed but came right back afterwards even after safe mode and disabling system restore)

Anyone know what I can do to get his computer back up. HijackThis log below:

Hi, williesbest2. Welcome to the forums.

I'm looking at your log now and will be back with you as quickly as possible. If you have any questions at all during the fix, please do not hesitate to ask.

Hi, williesbest2. I will have you start the computer in Safe Mode, which will prevent you from accessing the Internet, so you'll either want to print these instructions or save them to a file on the desktop for reference.

I noticed that you’re running HijackThis from a temporary folder. HijackThis creates backups of all the changes we make, so that we can do a restore if something goes wrong. When HijackThis is in a temporary folder, the program and the backups it creates can be easily deleted. I need you to create a new folder (C:\HJT or something similar), and either move the HijackThis.exe you have or download the program again and save it in this new folder.

Open Notepad. Copy the contents of the Code box below and paste it into a new Notepad file. Please save the file as fixreg.reg to the desktop and make sure that Save as type is set to All files. We will use this file later in Safe Mode.

Code: Select all
REGEDIT4

Close all open windows and browsers, including this one, and click Fix Checked.

We need to make sure you can see all files, including hidden and system files. Please click Start => My Computer. On the menu bar select Tools => Folder Options, and then select the View tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading, please make sure Show hidden files and folders is checked and Hide protected operating system files (recommended) is unchecked. Click Yes to confirm, and then click OK.

Now, restart your computer into Safe Mode (continually tap the F8 key while your system is starting, select Safe Mode from the menu). For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site: http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml

Use Windows Explorer and delete the following files shown below in red if present:

C:\Windows\ExeDialer.exe
C:\Windows\Sysstem32\EGDACCESS_1064.dll
C:\Windows\System32\EGDHTML_1064.dll
C:\Windows\System32\EGDIAL.dll
C:\Windows\System32\mseggrpid.dll


Use Windows Explorer and delete the following folder shown below in red if present:

C:\Program Files\Instant Access\

Click Start => Search => All files and folders and type EGCOMLIB2.dll in the All or part of the file name box. Make sure that Look in is set for the C: drive, and then click Search. If the file is found, it will appear in the right-hand panel. Please delete every instance of the file found.

Now, please double-click the fixreg.reg file you saved to the desktop earlier and say Yes to merge the information to the Registry.

Restart your computer normally, not Safe Mode, and please post another HijackThis log for me to review. How did it go? Please let me know if you had trouble completing any of these steps.

Is it possible that I could save the code to a CD and then bring it over to his computer, because he doesn't understand what to do. I'll post a HijackThis log after I'm done doing it.

williesbest2, if you want to save the instructions as a text file to a CD or disk and take the instructions with you, that should be fine.

The only thing you might not have visible is the URL for HijackThis, if you want to dowload it again. You may download it from http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HijackThis.exe

No, I mean can I just save the green part to a disk, and name is fixreg.reg, so I don't have to type all that out.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted to know. :oops:

Yes, you may create the fixreg.reg file and save that to a CD or disk. That will work just fine.

Since this is a dialer, is he being charged per pop-up or anything? Because it doesn't sound like it's free.

If the dialer file is executed, it can dial a high-cost telephone number. If your friend is using dial-up, I would advise him to leave his modem unplugged as much as possible until his computer is cleaned. Hopefully, the charges, if any, can be kept to a minimum.

He does have dialup and has been using his computer like crazy. He get's porn pop-ups ads at random. So I'm thinking his bill might be kind of high. I'm going to follow your directions on Saturday afternoon. Hopefully his bill won't be too high.

Well, I fixed his computer. At first when I used HijackThis, I removed it (in safe mode), but then it came right back as a different name and gave an error message. I then ran Spy Sweeper and it removed the rest of it, along with Registry Mechanic, Tweaknow RegCleaner, Ad-Aware, and AVG. I reinstalled HijackThis into it's own folder, not a temp folder. I ran HijackThis three times to make sure it didn't come back. Everything is all right now, but one thing.

When I looked at his dialup account (I went on his internet). He had two different accounts. The first one was the legit one that he uses to get onto the internet. The second one, was called "access-to" and the number was **********. Do you have any idea on what this is? I didn't want to delete it, in case it was something important.

Hi, williesbest2.

If your friend does not recognize the extra "access-to" account, it can probably be safely deleted. Before you do that, however, I would like you to PM (hit the PM button at the bottom of this post) me the telephone number in that account so I can do a little investigation. Please do not post the number in the forums.

Also, could you post another HijackThis log, so I can see if we have any further cleanup to do.

I'll see if I can get him to run HijackThis again (Be warned that if his computer isn't showing signs of anything on it, he will not want to run the program again, he's scared of computers I think). The phone number (in case you didn't receive the PM) is just 10 stars, nothing more.

Yes, I have the PM. Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't know what this extra account is. It could be something that was added by malware, or it could be an account that was pre-installed for your friend to register his computer when he got it or some of the pre-installed software. If he doesn't use it to access the Internet, he should be able to safely delete that account.

Well, all we can do is ask that he post another log. Please make sure he is aware that computers can be infected with malware and not have any symptoms. The only way to determine he's clean is to see a clean log.
