You have some major infections.

Start with this.

Download this program to your desktop so you can find it if needed.

LSP-Fix Download Link (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lspfix.php)

Click on start, then settings and then control panel.

Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.

Look through the installed programs for a program called New.Net or NewDotNet. and uninstall it.


If there is no uninstall program listed then do the following:
Go to www.newdotnet.com/removal.html
Scroll down to Procedure 4 and follow the removal instructions

Reboot.

Open HJT, run a system scan only, check mark these lines if present

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [New.net Startup] rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~1.DLL,NewDotNetStartup

Close all other browsers/windows, click fix, close HJT.

NOTE: Do not fix any 010 lines. Please return to the forum and ask for help.

Reboot.

If you can not connect to the internet run the LSP-Fix program  you download earlier, and click on the finish button. Reboot and you should be able to get back on.




Download SDFix (http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.exe) and save it to your desktop.

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
Choose your usual account.

In Safe Mode, double click SDFix.exe and install to the default location by clicking Install.  The SDFix Folder will be extracted to %systemdrive% \ (Drive that contains the Windows directory - typically 'C:\SDFix') Open the SDFix folder in Safe Mode then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the fixtool.  Type Y to begin the script.

It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.  Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.  When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and post of the results file Report.txt in your next reply along with a new HijackThis log

Please go to the Logitech web site and download and install the newest version of their Desktop Messenger client. Yours is several years old and the newer one does not corrupt the registry as the one currently used is doing. That will clean up the 018 lines.
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/494/3041&cl=us,en?osid=1&file=

It can probably be unistalled as it is a update notification. The info on what it does in on the page along with the download link.


Then in normal windows


Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script again.

Type A to create a System Report.

Please be patient as this scan may take some time
When the scan is done a notepad will open with the report.
Attach SystemReport.txt to your next reply. You can find the report at this location: C:\SDFix\SystemReport.txt along with a new HJT log.

Good Afternoon. I'm not too sure I can get through all of this. To begin with, I downloaded  OTMoveIt2 and all I got was mixed up letters and symbols. Said something about the program has to be run under Win32.
Also, I only have Avast anti virus 4.7 home edition. If I stop avast on-line protection, will that also disable script blocking?
Do all of your instructions in your last post have to be done all at the same time or I can  stop at an appropriate point.  I'm not trying to be difficult, but I'm by no means a computer whiz. Thanks
Title: Re: HijackThis Log: Please help diagnose
Post by: oldman on March 18, 2008, 01:48:18 AM
Do the HJT fix and the uninstalls. Skip OTMOVEIT2 for now. Run combofix.

Just stop avast's standard shield  (script blocker is available only if you have the Pro version.), restart it after combofix has given you the log.


Just do them in order, you're probably looking at 30 min or less.

Do the instructions. I like to remove the tools and old restore points first as they will be needlessly detected.

So do the clean up and system restore, then run Malwarebytes. It's always good to have a second opinion, plus you had a whole variety of infections.

Nothing serious found there, just a little stray adware. Let's finish the clean up. Don't forget the batch file please. Let me know how things are.

Since some reg keys where removed we'll start with system restore again. It won't take long this time.

* Uninstall Malwarebytes

Hi oldman and HAPPY EASTER
I will be busy today, however, when I go into My Computer, I show
C:\Program Files\Java Soft with a subfolder JRE. Don't have JavaVM. Do I delete the sub folder and leave Java Soft?
Also, I have no spyware program installed. Thinking of getting Spy Sweeper and Zone Alarm Firewall (Free version) and uninstall Windows Firewall} Choices OK? My question is  -Do I download these programs now or wait until we are finished? Have a great day.
Title: Re: HijackThis Log: Please help diagnose
Post by: oldman on March 23, 2008, 06:44:29 PM
Happy Easter to you too. Just remove the subfolder. I believe Java Soft was the original name for the java folder.

I don't know much about spysweeper, but if you do decide to use it, make sure you use the version without the antivirus or a conflict will occur. You should also get a non resident antispyware program. This is probably the best one at the moment. Get the free version.

These are the settings I use and a link

Download  superantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/)

First update SAS Then boot into safe mode and set SAS up like this.

Under Configuration and Preferences, click the Preferences button.
Then click the Scanning Control tab.

Under Scanner Options make sure the following are checked
- CHECK ALL BOXES


Return to the main page by clicking close on that screen. On the main screen, under Scan for Harmful Software click Scan your computer. On the left check C:\Fixed Drive.(and other fixed drives)
Under Complete Scan, choose Perform Complete Scan.
· Click Next to start the scan.

When the scan is done, quarentine everything found.

Give ZA a try, lots use it and seem to like it. It isn't very configurable though. You don't have to uninstall windows firewall, just turn it off.

Can't find "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) 6 update 5 in

Were you saying to use superantispyware with another anti spyware program or as a stand alone?
Title: Re: HijackThis Log: Please help diagnose
Post by: DavidR on March 24, 2008, 07:47:58 PM
Alternate, for JRE version 6 update 5 http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sun_Java_Runtime_Environment_d4648.html (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sun_Java_Runtime_Environment_d4648.html).
Title: Re: HijackThis Log: Please help diagnose
Post by: oldman on March 25, 2008, 01:13:57 AM
re java download, it's the 4th one in the list. The link DavidR gave you will do the trick also.  8)

Use 2 antispyware programs. One resident(real time scanning) and one on demand. I suggest SAS as the on demand because the free version isn't resident, but it is a very good scanner.
Title: Re: HijackThis Log: Please help diagnose
Post by: bobbydee on March 25, 2008, 08:18:34 PM
Yes, I can readily see that the Java download is 4th on the list, however when I first clicked java,sun.com.... link earlier, for some reason or another, it took me to a different Java page and that is why I said that I couldn't find the download. Well anyway, I got through your instructions as best as I could.
On the steven gould link, it shows an index of download/ cleaning, parent directory with a list of clean-up files. How do I use this site?
The Secunia is a neat site that revealed some issues that I have to address.

452 is the newest, 451 comes in either zipped or unzipped. They both do the same.

I PMed you my address, if you could mail me that file I had you make, I'll have a look and see what it's all about.

Hi bobbydee

Everything going ok?

You have a couple of files to delete.

C:\system.bat
C:\info.exe


Then empty your recycle bin.

Hi, thanks that's an old one. thanks for continuing this in the forum. Others may benifit from what we find. I just didnt want the contents of system.bat post in case they where really malicious.

you can delete get.bat, the look.txt it created on your desktop and any logs, other notepads that where created during the cleaning of your computer. I forgot to mention that earlier.

We'll use a tool to get those files.

Please download
 OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer. (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/oldtimer/OTMoveIt2.exe)

Save it to your desktop.

Please double-click OTMoveIt2.exe to run it.


Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):


C:\system.bat
C:\info.exe



Return to OTMoveIt2, right click in the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be Moved" window (under the light blue bar) and choose Paste.



Click the red Moveit! button.

Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.

Close OTMoveIt2

If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

NOTE: If OTMOVEITE reboots, before you can get the ruslts they can be found here
 C:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles\********_******.log
(where "********_******" is the "date_time")

C:\system.bat moved successfully.
C:\info.exe moved successfully.

BTW Spybot is constantly giving me a message that reads:
Category: Sessions Manager
Change: Value Changed
 
Entry: Boot Execute

Old data: autocheck autochk *\aswBoot.exe\A:"*"/L:
New data: autocheck autochk \*

Allow change                             Deny change

Anyone know anything about this?

If you schedule a boot-time scan (or after you install avast) then aswboot.exe should run, after the first run then that value I assume would change so that it doesn't run on every boot but only once after you select it ?

However I have never seen this stuff about session manager from spybot S&D when I used it but I also didn't run the resident element of it when I did have it.

Good the files are gone.

Open OTMOVEIT2 then click the Clean Up button. You may get prompted by your firewall that OTMoveIt wants to contact the internet -  allow this.  A cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will delete all the tools you have downloaded plus itself

Spybot. Like DavidR, I never used the resident. I wonder if it is monitoring the registy and is seeing the bootscan setting being changed?

Thanks oldman for all your help and patience in resolving my problems. It's nice to know that there are people like you, and others, who are so willing to help those of us who are far less computer savvy. Take care.
