Win32:Trojan-gen (other and UPX!)
« on: December 08, 2003, 05:03:52 AM »
I posted a message here last night and do not see it here on the forum so I'm trying again.  After running the scan, Avast! said the 2 viruses above were found in wingua,exe ( the UPX version) and in and mserv.exe (the Other one).  My homepage is constantly being hijacked by something called easy-search.com and Google, Yahoo, and MSN.com all have been taken over by something called Premium Searches.
The files and their embedded viruses have been put in the Virus Chest.  Is there any advice on how to clean the files and get my homepage and Google, etc. back?
Thanks.

Please post a hijackthis log: Download the file here: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/  then unzip the file and double click on the "HijackThis" icon. When finished loading click on the "Scan button".
Next click on the "Save Log" button. Save the log somewhere you will remember and open the log file with notepad. Then copy the contents and paste them in a reply to be checked.

There are several things you have to do. Let Hijackthis fix every "O1 - Hosts" line , restart and read this carefully: http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html#cwshredder

After using the Cleaner and after a restart,  please post a second Hijackthis log to see if everything is clean now.

All Browserwindows has to be closed if using the cleaner.

I followed your instructions.  The 2nd log is below.  Also, after restart, I opened IE and it went to easy-search and was notified while the page was loading that I had another virus in 2 more files;
Win32 Jeet (Tr) in msdos.exe and out32c.exe.
I went to Windows update and downloaded all security patches and used the CWS Shredder.  This log is after all these actions...
Do we need to do something with the R1 entries??
Thanks for your help.

Looks great. Some little things to fix and everything should be fine:

Everything under R1 and R3

Thanks for your reply.
When you say 'everything under R1 and R3' and then list the 4 '04' entries, do you mean I should delete them??  I assume you do but I will wait for your confirmation.
Also, what about the other virus, Win32 Jeep, and the 4 files that are in the Virus Chest affected by Jeep and the Win32 Trojan Other and UPX!?  Just leave them there or can they be fixed?

You do not need to delete the "04", but they arenĀ“t nessessary. About the files in the chest, you can delete them, but they are not dangerous anymore.
