Bargain Buddy???!!!!!

Do you have a program named ErrorSafe installed? If so, uninstall it.

You need to install HijackThis properly per step 7 of the READ & RUN ME. You are running it exactly how we ask you not to run it. That is directly from the ZIP file using WinRaR.

Fix this and attach a new HJT log. Make sure you have booted in normal mode to get the log too.

Why are you running without a firewall application? This is a very bad thing to do! Also I do not think too much or Command AV.


Download Blacklight Beta

• Hit I accept. It will take you to download page.
• Download blbeta.exe and save it to the Desktop.
• Once saved... double click blbeta.exe to install the program.
• Click accept agreement and Click scan
  This app too may fire off a warning from antivirus. Let the driver load.
  Wait for it to finish.
• If it displays any items...don't do anything with them yet. Just hit exit (close)
• It will drop a log on Desktop that starts with fsbl....big number

Please attach the log file here. And then move on to my next message.

 

Copy the contents of the below Quote Box to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file fixme.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.) Then double-click on the fixme.reg file on your desktop (or locate it with Windows Explorer and double click on it if not saved to the Desktop) and when it prompts to Add in to the registry, say yes.

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:
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Sepate Security Firewall] sepate.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [Security Agent Manager] mssams.exe
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Lycos <--- the whole folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\SpamExtract <--- the whole folder
C:\Program Files\apsi <--- the whole folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\8KZRVZFA\QaBar[1].cab
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\QaBar.cab
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\close.bmp
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\msblank.html
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ersd.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rodevkaz.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\sepate.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mssams.exe
C:\WINDOWS\HELP\SPAlert.chm
C:\WINDOWS\rdt.ini
C:\keys.ini

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.

 

Your log is clean. If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to go back to step 1 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.

After that, you should work thru the below link:
