Sorry I have been MIA.  I reinstalled XP and installed XP SP2 on my wifes computer and now I cannot download the windows installer and therefore cannot install any security updates. That, combined with having no Avast has made me hesitant about going online with my wifes computer.

When you installed the OS did you use the key on the computer case or on the CD?

Try installing avast! again - I think there's a good chance it will now.  I'm at work and will sort through logs later on.

[BJS]

I tried to install Avast again and it seems that no files were moved or renamed this time, but when I tried to open up the ashsimp2.exe application nothing happened.

When I installed XP on the computer, I had to use the key on the CD. The XP sticker key on the computer would not work. I think that is because we went from XP Home to XP Professional.
(I could not find anyone with copy of XP Home)

But when I tried to open up the ashsimp2.exe application nothing happened.

This is bad... but sorry, the thread has 9 pages now...
Did you have any other antivirus installed in this computer in the past?

(I could not find anyone with copy of XP Home)

I'm afraid that may be a bit of a problem.  Microsoft goes to some lengths to prevent this from happening successfully.

Let's continue cleaning for now - maybe oldman or Tech (sorry, no trademark) will give some thought to the Windows license problem while we're doing this.


First upload this file to Virus Total and post the scan results

C:\WINDOWS\Setup1.exe


Now download ERUNT from here and back up your entire registry http://www.snapfiles.com/get/erunt.html

Having done that we will create a registry fix.  Copy and paste ALL of the information below in the quote box to a notepad file.  Ensure there is no space above the REGEDIT4.
Then in notepad go to FILE > SAVE AS and in the dropdown box select SAVE AS TYPE to ALL FILES
Then in the FILE NAME box type fix.reg
This will create a fix.reg file on your desktop

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\sharedtools\msconfig\startupreg\german.exe]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Á ³#
 L"h'þ9Óœð3rÅ WC:]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Á ³#
 L"h'þ9Óœð3rÅ WC:\Program Files]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Á ³#
 L"h'þ9Óœð3rÅ WC:\Program Files\ISTsvc]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Á ³#
 L"h'þ9Óœð3rÅ WC:\Program Files\ISTsvc\istsvc.exe]
"C:\WINDOWS\miftufo.exe"=-

To use this file you will need to right click the icon and select merge, accept the warning if it appears and you are done.



Next open HJT and click to Do a System Scan Only.  When complete place a check next to these lines

O16 - DPF: {149E45D8-163E-4189-86FC-45022AB2B6C9} (SpinTop DRM Control) - file:///C:/Program%20Files/SCRABBLE/Images/stg_drm.ocx

O16 - DPF: {CC450D71-CC90-424C-8638-1F2DBAC87A54} (ArmHelper Control) - file:///C:/Program%20Files/SCRABBLE/Images/armhelper.ocx

Close all other windows, including your browser, and click Fix Checked.

Sorry about removing Scrabble but, under the circumstances, I don't see how we can trust it.



Now open OTMoveIt and paste in the following paths:

C:\windows\system32\german.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ratmn.exe
C:\Program Files\SCRABBLE
C:\Program Files\Kyodai
C:\DOCUME~1\Ben\APPLIC~1\GameHouse
C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\APPLIC~1\n7-89-o9-3r-4t-r9
C:\WINDOWS\PIF
C:\WINDOWS\miftufo.exe
C:\Program Files\ISTsvc

This will remove some of the other game soft that downloaded with Scrabble, ratmn.exe, and c:\windows\pif that was created in the same moments as Scrabble and seems related to a mass mailing worm (I think you guys are just going to have to stick with board games in the future).  BTW, some of these files will probably not be found - that's OK.


After completing all of the above please give me fresh ComboFix and HJT logs.


EDIT:  Take a look in c:\windows\system32\dllcache and see if there's a copy of chkdsk.exe

[BJS]

Here is the Virus Total results

Now I will do the rest...(and yes, boardgames will be safer)

[oldman]

Well, I'm afraid I'm not a bearer of good news. You assumption that the key on the computer wouldn't work is because the computer had home and the cd is pro is correct. The key doesn't match the product.

As to not being able update, I would say the product key is already registered on another computer that doesn't match the system you are trying to run it on now. Yeah, MS has tied the os to the system, you can make only gradual changes to the system over time before you have to call MS and have a new key issued. This applies to retail versions, oem's are a totally different story. This info is just basic, there is a bit more to it then that.

After you reinstalled, did the os version change to pro? I see that ie downgraded from 7 to 6.

One thing to remember is that your licence is the key on the computer not the cd itself. So if you can find a retail home version cd you can copy it and use your key. Assuming of course that a retail version was origonally installed.

Tech may have more thoughts on this. For now keep the cleaning process going. I find it strange that chkdsk wasn't replaced.

As for a format and reinstall, I think if you use the same cd and number that you already did, the results would be the same.

Hang in there, this isn't over.  

[BJS]

Oldman,
Thanks, I kinda thought the same after my wife told me she had the XP home edition.
It did change to pro and IE changed from 7 to 6 (I think that may be the default for Pro)
Awhile back we upgraded to IE 7

I don't think I will ever play scrabble again 

[BJS]

EDIT:  Take a look in c:\windows\system32\dllcache and see if there's a copy of chkdsk.exe
[/quote]

Yes, there is a copy of chkdsk.exe in the  c:\windows\system32\dllcache folder

It did change to pro and IE changed from 7 to 6 (I think that may be the default for Pro)

Yes ie6 was bundled with xp. Just confirming files where transfered. Still wonder about chkdsk.

So what we have is an unvalidated version of pro. Just thinking out loud and trying to puzzle out a solution.

I don't think I will ever play scrabble again    

     Keep up the sense of humor, it helps!
