    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, renaming, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.
    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

    Hi again!I did the steps you told me in the malware removal guide.I mean i did as steps as i could do because i had some problems during those steps.Firstly,when i did scannings with the CounterSpy,after 5 minutes my pc couldn`t respond so i had to do many restarts and nothing could happen.So i did it with AVG Anti-Spyware and i have the log.Secondly both of these two online scanners (bitdefender-panda) made the same problem as the Counterspy did,(my computer stopped responding),so i couldn`t finish the scannings and i don`t have a log for u.Ewido anti-spyware could finish it`s scanning BUT when i tried to save the log my computer, it crashed again.The good news are that Spybot found some problems and corrected it and Spyware Doctor also did that.Now i did again a scan with Spy Sweeper and it didn`t found any problems so i think i`m happy.However i`m going to post u four files with logs (hijackthis,AVG Anti-Spyware,newfiles and runkeys) so that u can tell me if you find anything wrong.Thank u for your assistance gyes and i feel the need to tell u that u should be very proud of that you help other people.Thanks again.

    You are running too many realtime antispyware blocking tools. This can be just as bad if not worse than running multiple antivirus applications. Also in the READ & RUN ME we specified not to use Spybot's Teatimer, but you are using it. So before we can get started, we need to do some house cleaning. Your system must run as slow as a snail right now!

    You can uninstall the AVG Antispyware trial installed while running the READ & RUN ME now. We are finished with it.

    Now Disable Spybot's TeaTimer
    • Run Spybot and click Mode
    • Select Advanced Mode.
    • Then click Tools and select Resident.
    • Now in the right window pane, uncheck TeaTimer.
    • Also while this is open, in the left column now select IE Tweaks
    • and then in the right pane make sure all the Miscellaneous locks are unchecked.
    • Now quit Spybot!
    I see Ad-Aware SE Professional installed which would mean you paid for it! If you are going to use its Ad-watch feature, all four of the below should be uninstalled. If you don't use Ad-watch you can keep one of the below four installed.
    Is Spyware Doctor a paid program or free trial? If free, uninstall it now!
    Is Spy Sweeper a paid program or free trial (you did say free earlier)? If free, uninstall it now!
    Is Ewido a paid program or free trial? If free, uninstall it now!
    Is Spyware Terminator a paid program or free trial? If free, uninstall it now!

    If multiple programs from the 4 above are actually paid programs, you must only keep one installed.

    Did you knowingly install Serv-U FTP Server? If not, uninstall it.
    Did you knowingly install Remote Administrator v2.2? If not, uninstall it.

    You did not follow the directions in step 2 of the READ & RUN ME. You still have system files hidden and you are also hiding file extensions. Please complete step 2 properly now!

    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:
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {4E7BD74F-2B8D-469E-8DA9-FD60BB9AAE33} - (no file)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\npjpi150_06.dll
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Sun Java Console - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\npjpi150_06.dll
    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {e2e2dd38-d088-4134-82b7-f2ba38496583} - %windir%\Network Diagnostic\xpnetdiag.exe (file missing)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: @xpsp3res.dll,-20001 - {e2e2dd38-d088-4134-82b7-f2ba38496583} - %windir%\Network Diagnostic\xpnetdiag.exe (file missing)

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\adauddp.exe
    C:\aptckhyl.exe
    C:\bpdcct.exe
    C:\bpdtm.exe
    C:\gkbff.exe
    C:\iqvhm.exe
    C:\kwsbk.exe
    C:\xsailmvd.exe
    Now run Ccleaner.

    Now reboot in normal mode

    Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

    1. ShowNew
    2. HJT

    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    Hi again!Firstly i uninstalled the AVG Antispyware trial.Then i disabled Spybot's TeaTimer,next i uninstalled Spy Sweeper,Spyware Terminator and Ewido.I don`t use the Ad-Watch feature of Ad-Aware,so i kept only Spyware Doctor.I knowingly installed Serv-U FTP Server and Remote Administrator because i have an ftp server and a remote pc that i use.I completed step 2 properly and it`s ok.Sorry for that.I have to notice that when my system is starting up,it is going a little bit faster than before but i think that the reason is that i uninstalled the above spyware applications.Another note is that after i completed the step 2 (to uncheck Hide extentions for known file types and Hide protected operating system files),when i went to run hijackthis i saw that it`s complete name was analyse.exe.exe so i renamed it to analyse.exe and then i run it,but this could also been a mistake because i didn`t did the Step 2 properly before.So i did all the steps u told me and i`m posting u the 2 new logs.THANKS again for the assistance,waiting for your reply!;)

    Uninstall the below old versions of software:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6

    Make sure you reboot after uninstalling the above!

    After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment


    You should also delete the below folders since the programs have been uninstalled now:
    C:\Program Files\ewido anti-spyware 4.0
    C:\Program Files\Grisoft

    Your logs are clean. 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
      • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    2. If we used ComboFix you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
    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 VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
    5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
    6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    7. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
    8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
