VIRTUMONDE. I completed Try Me 1st and still no luck. Please help. Logs attached.

Well, let's start with this:

Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following ( be sure to re-enable when we are finished):


Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). 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:

NOTE: HJT may popup an error about the AppInit_DLLs line. Ignore it and click OK to continue.

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Now use windows explorer to find and delete:
C:\WINDOWS\pgxgxkn.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\asycfilt.exe

Reboot and make sure those files are gone.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file.

 

Not a problem....

Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Your logs are clean.

If you are not having any other malware issues, then:

**CAUTION: Using P2P programs and torrent downloads can be dangerous, as they by-pass your firewall and may contain malware.

 

If you still have combofix on your desktop:

* Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
o 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:

KILLALL::

Registry::
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{6D794CB4-C7CD-4c6f-BFDC-9B77AFBDC02C}]

* 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.
If it asks you to overide the prvevious file with the same name, click YES.
* 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 reboot and attach the log from combo.

 

OK...now I must ask, why do you not have notepad? You can download it HERE.

Download and Install Registrar Lite.

Now run Registrar Lite.

Run Registrar Lite navigate to the following keys and take ownership of them (explained further

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{6D794CB4-C7CD-4c6f-BFDC-9B77AFBDC02C}

To take ownership of the key do the following:

* Copy & Paste the registry key from above into the address bar of Registrar Lite and hit the enter key. This will bring you to the regitry key.
* Click-on Security in the Menu
* Select Take Ownership
* Now right click on the registry key and select delete
* Tell me the results. Any errors?

 

This is not Windows Notepad. This is a third party replacement. Notepad.exe is already available of this PC as seen in the newfiles.txt log which shows the below:

Code:

"C:\WINDOWS\"
notepad.exe   Apr 13 2008       69120  "notepad.exe"

 

You are very welcome.....you can pursue the notepad issue in the software forum.

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

1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They are useful as backup scanners. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
     
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
     
     
   • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
   
   
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   
   • 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.
   
   
8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

You too....and safe surfing.
