    My boss' laptop has been having huge amounts of popups--as soon as he turns it on, 10-12 pages on IE open. I have gone through all of the READ ME FIRST...instructions down to Bitdefender. I have stopped there, as there is not a link on Bitdefender to click. When I click "I agree" nothing happens. What's up with that?

    NEway, this morning when he tries to open Quickbooks, it won't open and he gets: "Runtime Error! Program:c:\ProgramFiles\Intuit\QuickBooksPro\qbw32.exe Abnormal program termination". I am beside myself, as he thinks maybe I screwed something up in running all the scans, etc. HELP ME PLEASE ASAP!

    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1150, 18.5gb, WinXP OS.

    Try to run Bitdefender in normal boot mode and see what happens. Either way just continue. I need to see the PandaActiveScan log and then also follow step 7 exactly to get a HijackThis log attached.

    Pops are probably malware. Your Quickbooks problem is not necessarily malware.

    If you ran Bidefender, please attach the requested log from step 6 of the READ ME.

    You have not followed the instructions in step 7 of the READ ME to install HJT. You have it like this:
    C:\DOCUME~1\ERICKE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis[1].zip\HijackThis.exe

    This means you are running it directly from the ZIP file which is one of the 3 ways we request that it not be installed/run. Please follow the instructions in step 7 (click the link given) and install HJT properly. Then attach a new HJT log.

    Look in Add/Remove Programs and uninstall Oemji and EQArticle if found.

    I also still see signs of AVG7 in your HJT log. Did you uninstall AVG since you have Symantec? Is it showing in Add/Remove programs? If so, uninstall it. Otherwise we may need to use manual procedures to remove it.

    After installing HijackThis properly continue with the below steps. Do not continue without installing properly or you will not get any backups!!!!

    Make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Run HijackThis 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:

    If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

    Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.
    Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST)
    .

    Now we need to Reset Web Settings:
    1. If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.
    2. Now right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK. Then skip step 3.
    3. If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.
    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log.

    Make sure you tell me how things are working now.

    Reminder Note: Once we have determined you are malware free you will need to disable System Restore, reboot, and re-enable system restore per step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. This only applies to if using WinXP or WinMe.

    Thank you, Chaslang. I am attaching my HJT log. I thought I had done it correctly, but maybe I was just too nervous. Anyway, believe it's right now (after you scolding me). :)

    Also, we do not use Symantec anymore. We use AVG instead. Norton's was up a long time ago, and we switched to AVG as our anti-virus software. I have tried uninstalling Symantec through Add/Remove, but wasn't allowed.''

    Also, didn't find Oemji and EQArticle to remove.

    I appreciate you.

    This is my new HJT log after deleting all of the files on the two lists.

    Please remember that I'm still needing help with getting Quickbooks to open. My boss is getting irate. Yikes. This is my most important priority. Help.

    Yes! You have it right now! :) Don't think of it as a scolding! Think of it more like, it is in your best interest to have it installed properly. ;)

    What does it say? It does appear to be fully installed and we must get this removed. You may need to use one of Symantec's removal tools or we will have to do manual steps.

    Let's get an installed programs list from HijackThis too!
    • Run HijackThis, click Open the Misc Tools section
    • Click Open Uninstall Manager
    • Click Save List (generates uninstall_list.txt)
    • Click Save, to save it to a file where you can find it.
    • Attach the uninstall_list.txt file to your next message.

    Do you have backup of things that were removed while running the scanning programs from the READ ME? Do you have a logs of what they found and removed? Perhaps something was removed that QuickBooks needed. If could have been a false positive or maybe a file was infected.

    Another alternative may be to backup your data files for QuickBooks, uninstall QuickBooks, reboot, cleanup (delete) all QuickBooks folders, then reinstall.

    This seems to be a pretty common problem with QuickBooks and I see no real answers out there for it. Seems like they have some bugs in that even an uninstall reinstall does not work. This in itself is not a problem we are equipped to handle in the malware forum. If it continues to be an issue, you may need to contact them about the problem. You could also try the Software Forum.

    Hi, Chaslang:
    I brought my boss' laptop home this weekend to work on it some more. I am attaching the uninstall_list.text.

    I don't seem to be having any popups today which is wonderful! Yay!

    You asked about backups or logs that were created as I ran the different programs throughout READ ME. I don't know. Where would I find them? I do know that I didn't manually save any.

    Also, I'm going to try to backup the QuickBooks data files if I can. I didn't bring home his discs, so cannot do an uninstall/install at this time. I'll be happy if I can just back up the data, as it holds all Accounts Payable/Receivable, Payroll, Inventory, etc. Yikes!

    I so appreciate majorgeeks and recommend it to everybody I know. Thank you once again.
    Susan

    It all depends on what actions you took while running the scans. You would have to check to see if you quarantine items or plain deleted them. Some programs don't use a quarantine but do use backups (like Spybot).

    None of the below have anything to do with your Quickbooks problem, however they are issues. You will ave to work our QuickBooks problem with them.

    You uninstall log show a few programs that a way out of date:
    Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03 <---- out of date! See: http://java.com/en/
    Mozilla Firefox (1.0.7) <---- out of date! See: Mozilla FireFox
    SpywareBlaster v3.4 <---- out of date! See: SpyWare Blaster

    You need to uninstall the below! Go thru each one and try to uninstall and keep track of exactly what happens with each one. Notice how Norton Internet Security appears like 11 times.
    LiveReg (Symantec Corporation)
    Norton AntiSpam
    Norton AntiSpam
    Norton AntiVirus
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security
    Norton Internet Security (Symantec Corporation)
    Norton WMI Update
    Symantec Script Blocking Installer

    I assume I'm supposed to uninstall these through Add/Remove Programs? The Norton Security thing is only listed once there, along with one LiveReg and the Norton WMI. The rest are not listed there. Does deleting them in HiJackThis just delete them from the list there?

    When I have tried to delete from the Add/Remove, I get the message: A Norton Internet Security account with supervisor access must be in to uninstall this product. If Norton Internet Security is not running,click the Start menu, select Norton Internet Security, and log in. Setup will now exit. The thing is--there is only one user account on this computer and it is the one I'm in--Administrator Account. I've tried logging off and logging back in; as well as rebooting and restarting, but to no avail.

    Thank you for the suggestions to update. I have done that.

    Yes! You must uninstall using Add/Remove programs! Install the new Sun Java before uninstalling the old one.

    Exactly where in HijackThis are you referring to? If you fix items in the HijackThis scan, that is not the same as doing an uninstall. Many registry keys will be left laying around if you do not uninstall properly.

    You need to talk to your IT department or whoever setup to PC this way. You do not have full Administrator priviledges as far as the installation of Norton goes. Someone installed it this way. Your alternative is to call Symantec and determine if there is a way around this lockout. (I know there is, I did it myself without Symantecs help on a couple PCs in the past but I don't remember what I did.)
