Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 2 of 2

Welcome to Major Geeks!

First a note. Don't worry about cookies. They are not problems. You can read what I mean by this in step 11 of this link: How to Protect yourself from malware!

Please run the below.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune. This program does not require an installation. The executable actually runs the program.

NOTE: This program is for Windows XP and Windows 2000 only. ATF Cleaner will remove all files from the items that are checked so if you have some cookies you'd like to save. Please move them to a different directory first.

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
• Under Main choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser

• Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.
  • NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser

• Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.
  • NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main ATF Cleaner menu to close the program.

Now attach a new log from ShowNew. Also please describe what malware problems you are having while I continue to look thru all of your logs.

Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 1 of 2

Click Refresh a few times or also trying emptying your browser cache and then click refresh. Then try to attach again.

 

Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 1 of 2

Did you run ATF-Cleaner? I wondering why the below folder in not being cleaned up?

C:\Documents and Settings\gjackson\Local Settings\Temp\

Can you manually delete all files in this folder? Windows should only stop you from delete folders from the current date.

 

Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 1 of 2

Here are the next steps for you to continue with.

Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
Viewpoint Media Player <-- should have been uninstall in step 0 of the READ ME

Also uninstall the CounterSpy trial program since we are finished with it now.

Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 1 of 2

Good! Continue with message # 10.

 

Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 1 of 2

What do you mean the other system? We should only be working on one PC in this thread.

What PC is opening up desktop.ini files and when?

 

Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 1 of 2

Okay! You don't need to post anything else until you finish everything I gave in message # 10.

 

Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 1 of 2

Okay than let's remove them.


Download HostsXpert and then follow the below steps.

• Unzip HostsXpert.zip
  [*]It will create a folder named HostsXpert in whatever folder you extract it to.
  [*]Run HostsXpert.exe by double clicking on it.
  [*]click the Make Writeable? button.
  [*]click Restore Microsoft's Hosts File and then click OK.
  [*]Click the X to exit the program

Delete the below folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\gjackson\Application Data\Sunbelt Software

You did not tell me how things are working. Your logs are clean.

 

Re: Completed "Read & Run Me First" - logs attached - Trojan? Pt 1 of 2

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

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 SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
5. 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.
6. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.

9. 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
10. 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.
