All of those listed startup files that were in the bak type folders were the real startup files that should have been loading at startup. However the infection replaced the startups with exactly the same file names but they were infected programs to spread and keep reinfecting you anytime any single one of the startups ran. What we did is restore your real programs. Now we need to finish some cleanup to remove the now unnecessary bak folders and some other issues too.


Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\jusched.exe"

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):

Code:

File::
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\Local Settings\Temp\1204436350.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\Local Settings\Temp\3688882967.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\Local Settings\Temp\3866298987.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\Local Settings\Temp\461358366.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\Local Settings\Temp\949383546.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\Local Settings\Temp\abc123.pid
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\Local Settings\Temp\h2r12.tmp
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows XP\Local Settings\Temp\r2h11.tmp
 
Folder::
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\bak
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bak
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bak
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bak
C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\bak
C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\bak
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\bak
C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\Language\bak
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\bak

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it.

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Your logs are clean. Now you need to get properly protect which you currently are not. This is covered in the last step of the below.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below

2. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN
   • Now type combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
   • Note: The space between the X and the /U, it must be there.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
4. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
5. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.

    • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
13. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

We hate any Internet Security Suite since they are all massive resource hogs. And many of them are really not as effective as you would think against much of the current malware that is around. The tools we have in the How to protect yourself thread are more than adequate and do not overload you with a pile of junk that you don't need. They also will not slow your PC down as much as an internet security suite.

You're welcome.
