Hi:
My system appears to be repeatedly infected.
Please see the following images of "Spybot" and "SpywareBlaster" results:

Image

I typically start by opening "HostsXpert" version 4.3. I then click on: "Make Writeable?"
Then I start Spybot Search and destroy.
After seeing there are problems (Please, see the image above) ........I then click on "Immunize". It then appears to solve the problems.
-------------------------------- and or ----------------------------------
Then I start SpywareBlaster and I see there are problems. (Please, see the image above): I enable all protection and or (on two occasions) check boxes on the custom list.
After doing the above the problems appear to be solved.
Then, I click on "Make read only" in "HostXpert".
However, after re-starting the computer the problems appear to be returning.
Please provide me with Step by Step Instructions that a computing Novice can follow in order to understand and fix these problems.
Thank you in advance.

Hello... Eagle ... Welcome to the forum.

I apologize for the delay getting to your log but as you can see the forum is very busy.

My name is Wingman, and I'll be helping you with any malware problems.
The logs I request can take a while to research, so please be patient.

Before we begin...please read and follow these important guidelines, so things will proceed smoothly.
  1. The instructions being given are for YOUR computer and system only!
    Using these instructions on a different computer can cause damage to that computer and possibly render it inoperable!
  2. DO NOT run any other fix or removal tools unless instructed to do so!
  3. DO NOT install any other software (or hardware) during the cleaning process. This adds more items to be researched.
  4. Only- post your problem at (1) one help site. Applying fixes from multiple help sites can cause problems.
  5. Print each set of instructions...if possible...your Internet connection will not be available during some fix processes.
  6. Only- reply to this thread, do not start another ... Please, continue responding, until I give you the "All Clean"

I am currently reviewing your log and will return, as soon as possible, with additional instructions. In the meantime...
Please take time to read the Malware Removal Forum Guidelines and Rules where the conditions for receiving help at this forum are explained.

Please read all instructions carefully before executing and perform the steps, in the order given.
lf, you have any questions or problems, executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.

Step 1.
HJT - Uninstall Manager Log
    Please run HijackThis Located in: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\hijackthis.exe
      If you are on the "scan & fix stuff" page... Press the "Main Menu"...button.
  1. From the Main Menu...Press the "Open the Misc Tools"...button.
  2. Press the "Open Uninstall Manager... button.
  3. Press only the Save List...button.
  4. Press the "Save" button. The file "uninstall_list.txt" will be saved in your HJT folder.
  5. Copy and paste the contents of "uninstall_list.txt' in your next reply.

Step 2.
Please include in your next reply:
  1. HJT uninstall_list.txt file contents
Thanks,
Wingman

Hi Eagle,
You asked:
I already have a shortcut icon to HijackThis located on my desktop. Is it OK to run it from there?
When HJT fixes anything, it makes backups, in the folder where (hijackthis.exe) it's located. If your "shortcut" points to:
C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe... which is where your log says HJT is located... then it would be fine to use the shortcut. Thanks for double checking. It's always best to ask first, then to try to "recover" later. :)

Hello Eagle,
If there have been changes, yes please post a new HJT log... see instruction below. For the future reference:
Please do not make any changes to your system: do not add or remove any software, run any scans or "fix" programs and/or remove any files unless instructed to do so, by me. Please read these instructions carefully before executing and then perform the steps, in the order given. lf, you have any questions or problems, executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.

Please tell me is this machine used for business purposes, personal use or both?

Step 1.
ERUNT - Emergency Recovery Utility NT
Please run this again, as changes may have occurred between the last run and now. Better to be safe than to be sorry.
Modifying the Registry can create unforeseen problems, so it's always wise to create a backup before doing so.
Run:
  1. Please navigate to Start >> All Programs >> ERUNT... double-click ERUNT from the menu.
  2. Click on OK within the pop-up menu.
  3. In the next menu under C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\DD-MM-YYYY under Backup options make sure both the following are selected:
    • System registry.
    • Current user registry.
  4. Next click on "OK"... at the prompt... reply "Yes".
    After a short duration the Registry backup is complete! pop-up message will appear.
  5. Now click on "OK". A registry backup has now been created.
< STOP > If you did not successfully complete this step. < STOP > Do not continue with any other steps, post back and let me know!

Step 2.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  1. Please start MBAM (Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware) again.
  2. Press the Update tab.. then press the Check for Updates...button. <<---Important!
    Once any updates are installed or you get the message that you are up-to-date
  3. Press the Scanner tab...
  4. Select FULL SCAN this time... then press the Scan...button. This scan will take a while, so please be patient.
    When the scan finishes...
  5. Check all items except items in the C:\System Volume Information folder... then click on Remove Selected.
  6. Let MBAM remove what it can... if there are files to be deleted on reboot... please reboot the machine so MBAM can finish the removal.
    If you rebooted, then you'll need to start MBAM again.
  7. Press the LOG... tab. Locate the most current log file.
    Please copy and paste the most recent log (from this new run) in your next reply.
Step 3.
Post a New HJT Log
  1. Run HijackThis
    • If you are on the "scan & fix stuff" page... Press the Main Menu...button.
  2. On the Main Menu...click on the "Do a system scan and save a Log file"...button.
  3. When the scan is finished... Notepad will open with a saved log file called "hijackthis.log"
  4. Paste the contents of hijackthis.log file in your next reply.
Step 4.
Please include in your next reply:
  1. Any problem executing the instructions?
  2. Computer use: business, personal or both?,
  3. MBAM scan results.
  4. New HJT log.
  5. How is the computer behaving?
Thanks,
Wingman

Hi:
Thank you for your timely reply.
I have a shortcut icon for "ERUNT" on my desk top............................................................
1) Is it OK for me to double left click on that in order to run "ERUNT"?
You wrote:

Hello Eagle,

Yes, it is OK for you to use the shorcut you have for Erunt.
If you have a shorcut for MBAM you may also, use it... just make sure you check for updates before running the scan.

I ask about the computer use, based on what I have seen in your logs.
There are specific rules about working on a computer used for business purposes. So please let me know if this machine is used for business purposes.

Please include in your next reply:
  1. Any problem executing the instructions?
  2. Computer use: business, personal or both?
  3. MBAM scan results.
  4. New HJT log.
  5. How is the computer behaving?
Thanks,
Wingman

To: Wingman (Mike):
Thanks again for your timely reply.
Before we get started......I’m a bit confused by something you wrote:

Exactly what does that mean?
_______________________________________________________________________
Step 1.
I ran “ERUNT” and the data was stored at the following:
C:\WINNT\ERDNT\3-1-2010
1) Is that OK?

_______________________________________________________________________
Step 2.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware:
I ran a full scan on both C:\ and D:\ hard drives as using “Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware”.
Following is an image of the initial results:

You wrote:
Check all items except items in the C:\System Volume Information folder... then click on Remove Selected.
I don’t understand.......
2) What does this mean?
Please note: I did not see: “C:\System Volume Information folder”.
Therefore, I left all of the boxes checked and re-started the computer.
Then, as a safety measure I ran another scan using “Malwarebytes” in order to learn if the problems re-appeared.

Following are the results following the second scan using “Malwarebytes”:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.44
Database version: 3811
Windows 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4
Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106

Please note: This is a confusing instruction. Only by luck was I able to (eventually) locate the “Main Menu” button.

Step 4.
You asked:
Computer use: business, personal or both?
Answer: Kind of a combination I guess as I’m a volunteer for a grass roots tiny program that’s essentially run out of a bedroom.
I hope that answers your question. If not: Please, re phrase your question.

You asked:
How is the computer behaving?
Answer: Please see the following images:

Please note: I (again) ran Spybot Search and Destroy as well as SpywareBlaster and the following images show the results:

Hello Eagle,

Thank you for answering my question regarding the use of the computer.

Are you saying that you have a problem because Spybot Immunization process shows it is covering the Firefox entries... but when you run SpywareBlaster the Firefox entries don't appear to be updated or included in the protection?
If so, let me try to explain...

Spybot's Immunization feature updates the HOSTS file, with web site entries that are known bad sites.
With the entries in the HOSTS file, if you attempt to open a "target" web address, found in the HOSTS it will basically causes you to see a message that your browser couldn't open the page.

SpywareBlaster updates the "Restricted Zone" entries, found in the Internet Options, under the Security tab. This is entirely different than the Spybot Immunization. It involves a totally different set of protection parameters, found in the system registry.

Updating one of these processes, has no bearing on what will be reflected in the other. Both essentially offer similar protection, from known bad web sites... but are accessed and processed differently.
It's very possible that Spybot's TeaTimer process is preventing the SpywareBlaster process from updating the Internet Options.
From the Spybot site:
In addition, TeaTimer detects when something wants to change some critical registry keys. TeaTimer can protect you against such changes again giving you an option: You can either Allow or Deny the change.
As SpywareBlaster attempt to update the system registry, there could be conflicts. Please turn TeaTimer protection OFF and then "download latest protection updates" with SpywareBlaster and enable all protection. See if this causes the Firefox entries to be included.

FYI: I have Spybot on one of my computers and run the Immunization process. I don't need to run the HostsXpert process to make the HOSTS file accessible. I believe Spybot handles that (read-only) condition on it's own.

Let me know if this is what you are seeing and if I explained things well enough.

Thanks,
Wingman

To: Wingman (Mike):
Hi:
Thanks again for your timely reply. Sadly there appears to have been a miscommunication as my questions were left unanswered.
I (eventually found) “Tea Timer” inside of “Spybot”. (Please note: Detailed instructions clearly explaining exactly how-to accomplish a task would have saved me a lot of time and stress.)
I opened "Spybot, Search and Destroy" and then I then changed from "Default mode" to "Advanced mode".
Then, I clicked (On the left side) on "Resident".
Then inside of the "Resident protection status" area..........I unchecked the box next to:
[Resident "Tea Timer" (Protection of over-all system settings) active.]
Then, I opened “SpywareBlaster” and clicked on “Enable all protection”.
Then, I re-opened “Spybot” and re-enabled the “Tea Timer”.
Please note: While looking inside of “Spybot” -- “Tools” section……..I noticed that the box next to “Hosts File” was empty (No checkmark inside of that box). Is that OK?
Please note: I’ve been running both “Spybot” and “SpywareBlaster” on this machine
for a while as without any apparent problems. It appears that the computer has recently became infected…………..Otherwise, Why is this suddenly occurring?
Please note: I did my best to understand and follow your instructions; However, I experienced difficulty fully understanding your prior explanation and or instructions.
In conclusion: The above actions have sadly (apparently) failed to solve the aforementioned problems or issues.
Regards,
Eagle

PS. I usually update all of the aforementioned programs on a daily basis.

Hello Eagle,
Let me try to answer your questions:
Eagle wrote:Before we get started......I’m a bit confused by something you wrote:
I ask about the computer use, based on what I have seen in your logs.
Exactly what does that mean?
I saw the program: Shipping Assistant 3.6 ... Which could be used by a business or company. As I stated earlier, we have policies about working on business machines. I hope that answers your question.
Eagle wrote:
Check all items except items in the C:\System Volume Information folder... then click on Remove Selected.
I don’t understand.......
2) What does this mean?
Please note: I did not see: “C:\System Volume Information folder”.
I'm sorry if this confused you... it is meant to make sure the person running the scan does not remove any entries (if found) located in the System Information folder. This is where (in Windows XP version and up) the System Restore Point files are stored. As you are using an older version of Windows, there are no "System Restore" entries... so this line should have been adjusted to say:
Check all items... then click on Remove Selected.
Eagle wrote:(Please note: Detailed instructions clearly explaining exactly how-to accomplish a task would have saved me a lot of time and stress.)
I apologize, I will attempt to do a better job.
Eagle wrote:Please note: While looking inside of “Spybot” -- “Tools” section……..I noticed that the box next to “Hosts File” was empty (No checkmark inside of that box). Is that OK?
That's fine. The option is there if you want to see the contents of the HOSTS file, as it indicates.
Eagle wrote:Please note: I’ve been running both “Spybot” and “SpywareBlaster” on this machine for a while as without any apparent problems. It appears that the computer has recently became infected…………..Otherwise, Why is this suddenly occurring?
That's what we are attempting to find out. We need to see if there is any signs of malware present, that could be causing any problems.

OK... Let's check your system with some scans.

Please print these instructions... you may be asked to reboot your machine during some of these steps!.

Please do not make any changes to your system: do not add or remove any software, run any scans or "fix" programs and/or remove any files unless instructed to do so, by me. Please read these instructions carefully before executing and then perform the steps, in the order given. lf, you have any questions or problems, executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.

Step 1.
ERUNT - Emergency Recovery Utility NT
Please run this again, as changes may have occurred between the last run and now. Better to be safe than to be sorry.
Run:
  1. Please navigate to Start >> All Programs >> ERUNT... double-click ERUNT from the menu.
  2. Click on OK within the pop-up menu.
  3. In the next menu under C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\DD-MM-YYYY under Backup options make sure both the following are selected:
    • System registry.
    • Current user registry.
  4. Next click on "OK"... at the prompt... reply "Yes".
    After a short duration the Registry backup is complete! pop-up message will appear.
  5. Now click on "OK". A registry backup has now been created.
< STOP > If you did not successfully complete this step. < STOP > Do not continue with any other steps, post back and let me know!

Step 2.
MS Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT)
Please download the MS Malicious Software Removal Tool (Press the Download button) and save it to your Desktop.
  1. Double click on the windows-kb890830.vx.x.exe file to begin the process. (vx.x = a version number as part of the file name).
    If prompted with "Do you want to run this file?" Please run it. Otherwise it should start automatically.
    The process will begin... eventually (less than 1 minute) you will see the "Welcome to the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool" window.
  2. Press the Next> button.
  3. Choose Quick scan (the default) and press the Next> button.
    The scanning process will begin, showing files being scanned and a progress bar. Be patient and let the scan finish.
    When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a window describing the outcome.
    Regardless of the scan results... the report will be saved to the file "C:\WINDOWS\Debug\mrt.log". If MSRT has been run before, the current report information will be added or appended to the existing file.
  4. Double click on the mrt.log file to open it in Notepad or other text editor. Scroll to the end of the log.
  5. Copy and paste the most recent scan results (most recent date) and post them in your next reply.

Step 3.
BitDefender - Online Scan
Please go to the Bitdefender website to perform an online scan.
  1. Click on Start Scanner... check the I Agree to the Terms and Conditions box... then press Start Here.
  2. You will be prompted to install BitDefender software... an ActiveX component. Please allow it and install it.

Please note: The problem is NOT that there’s a discrepancy between Spybot and SpywareBlaster...........................................
The problem is:
a) Within “SpywareBlaster”: Something is REPEATEDLY Disabling Protection for “Mozilla Firefox”. At the time that I made this posting to this malware forum: “230 items have protection disabled”.

b)Within “Spybot”: Something is REPEATEDLY Disabling Protection for 39,734 things.
Just One example: “Global [Hosts]” 169 things are Unprotected.
For other examples: Please see the image in my prior posting.

Hello Eagle,

I would advise, if there is important information on your machine, I suggest you backup this information immediately. There are too many possible situations that could arise that could cause you to not have access to this data. Having a current backup of the data, is one of the most important safeguards you can provide for yourself. If you have a current backup, great... you are doing better than lots of other folks who don't see the necessity of backups.

Eagle wrote:...There were many problems executing the instructions. Please note: The instructions were often in error.

It appears that my instructions are not satisfactory for you. These instructions have been developed, reviewed and altered as needed, in order for any person using them to understand the various steps required. While there may be some small variations from time to time... as computer setups can be very different, I strive to keep these instructions current.
Would you feel more comfortable with a different helper's instructions? If you can not use my instructions easily, perhaps another helper's instructions would be more to your liking. Having computer problems or issues is stressful enough without stressing over some one's attempt to help resolve those issues.
Requesting another helper is understandable and it happens from time to time. It is not seen as a negative thing. It would not be taken personally by me and hopefully not by yourself.

Eagle wrote:PS. "BitDefender Quick Scan" is now appearing constantly in FireFox as a red icon above the clock that's on the task bar...........Why? Should I get rid of this? If yes: How?
Why?... If you mean it has been added to Firefox's "toolbar" It was probably added, so you can have easy access to BitDefender's Online scan, in the future.
Should you get rid of this? ... that's your decision.
How?... If you want to get rid of it, please see this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_custo ... nd_buttons
Now just so I understand what you're saying and what you mean, because this is unclear to me... you said "taskbar" which to me means the bar at the bottom (default) of your Desktop, with you system clock, your AV product icon, etc... As browsers have toolbars not "taskbars" if you meant your Desktop taskbar, then you should look in your Start>All Programs menu for a BitDefender entry to uninstall BitDefender or in the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel for an entry to uninstall BitDefender.

Eagle wrote:PPS. "MS Malicious Software Removal Tool" (windows-kb890830-v3.4.exe) is now on my desktop.......Why? Should I get rid of this? If yes: How?
Why? ... because that's where you were instructed to download it.
Should I get rid of this? ... again that's your decision. A new version is distributed on the second Tuesday of each month, with MS Automatic Updates.
How?... You can either drag it to your Recycle Bin or right click on it and choose Delete from the menu options presented.

Let me know if you would prefer another helper.

Thanks,
Wingman

Hi Eagle,

Reading through this topic it would appear that you have trouble following instructions without asking a number of pointless and trivial questions, none of which will help in getting your computer cleaned.

It would seem that online help is not the media for you, and I would suggest that the best way for you to get your computer cleaned of infection will be for you to deal with someone face to face.

We can no longer help you.
