Need Help Removing Downloader.ConHook.aa

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Get started on the below while I look thru the rest of your logs.

Uninstall the below software as requested in steps 6 & 0 of the READ ME:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 1
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1
Viewpoint Manager (Remove Only) <-- should have been uninstalled in step 0 of the READ ME
Viewpoint Media Player <-- should have been uninstalled in step 0 of the READ ME

Make sure you reboot after uninstalling the above!

Is the below something you knowingly installed?
screensaver_1024x768

You did not attach a log from CounterSpy. Did you save one?

 

Looks like you uninstalled CounterSpy and used AVG Antispyware? Do you have the log from AVG AS?

Do you know what the below it?
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [BNITE] C:\WINDOWS\\\\\\\\\\

 

After doing what is in messages # 3 and 4 and answering my questions, continue with the below.



Run 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) - {7e9fe379-7079-4cb0-9867-cf8b8e1c6a83} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ir3rts.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_02\bin\jusched.exe"
O16 - DPF: {DECEAAA2-370A-49BB-9362-68C3A58DDC62} - http://static.zangocash.com/cab/Zan...551573457330:22b32e0c79951ba72dbf4c44a0363a5c
O16 - DPF: {E473A65C-8087-49A3-AFFD-C5BC4A10669B} (Quantum Streaming IE Player Class) - http://mvnet.xlontech.net/qm/fox/06101102/qsp2ie06101001.cab
O20 - AppInit_DLLs:
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ir3rts - ir3rts.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: sstqn - C:\WINDOWS\system32\sstqn.dll (file missing)

NOTE: HJT may popup an error about the AppInit_DLLs line. Ignore it and click OK to continue.
After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.

• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
• Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
• Check the 'Input script manually' box.
• Click on the magnifying glass icon.
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it in the box that opens:

• Now click the 'Done' button.
• Click on the traffic light icon and OK the prompt.
• You will be prompted to restart, OK the prompt and your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt

Now run Ccleaner!

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

1. Avenger
2. GetRunKey
3. ShowNew
4. HJT

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

If you don't specifically know what it is, I suggest uninstalling it if it appears in Add/Remove programs.

Do you know what the BNITE item is?

 

Ah hah! Notice that AVG AS found a bunch of things with Screensavers!!! Perhaps my suspicion on that screensaver_1024x768 item is correct.

 

You're welcome.
