got bugs...can't shake 'em .... win32/polycrypt and others!

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please uninstall HJT as it will be properly installed when you do the following:

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

 

I'm sorry but you have not done what Tim asked you to do. No place in those instructions does it request a HijackThis log. Please follow the instrucions he gave to you and only attach the logs that are requested.

 

You need more than the MGlogs.zip file. You need to follow all steps in the READ & RUN ME and then attach the requested logs which are:

- ComboFix
- AVG AntiSpyware
- MGlogs.zip

 

Re: Previous anit-virus deleting

I assume this message is part of what you should be working on in your other thread here:

http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=146519

Please remain in one thread. I will merge this back with our 1st thread.

No you should not be "deleting" Spybot and Antivir. If you meant to say empty their quarantine's then yes you should empty their quarantines. Spybot calls it Recovery.

If you already ran MGtools.exe, you don't need to run it again unless you have an old outdated version which I doubt. MGtools.exe is a self extracting installer and it automatically runs the scans that are part of MGtools. Once MGtools has been run the first time, subsequent new scans are obtained by double click on the below file:

C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat

This .bat file will run all the scans and create a new C:\MGlogs.zip file. If you are not seeing the C:\MGlogs.zip file get created, you need to make sure that you are not getting any of the error messages described on the MGtools.exe download/instructions page.

 

Then yes you can delete anything from the old programs since you are no longer using them.

No this does not work properly this way.

If you added the fixes, then you can just run the GetLogs.bat file that was mentioned. You do not need to reinstall using the MGtools.exe file. So at this point you still need to run ComboFix, AVG Antispyware and C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat and then you need to attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• AVG Antispyware log
• C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Some of your software appears to not be loading/running properly. AntiVir is one of them. It looks like someone remove some of the startups for it. You should uninstall it. Reboot. And then reinstall it.

What is this Spruce program that I see installed? If you don't know then uninstall it.

Did you set your start pages to be about:blank like the below shows? If not, add these two lines to the HijackThis fix below.
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank

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 software:
Internet Explorer Assistant 1.0
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.0_03

Now let's fix what appears to be a Haxdoor Infection.

Download haxfix.exe and save it to your desktop.

• Double click on haxfix.exe to install haxfix. (standard installation path is c:\program Files\haxfix)
• Checkmark "Create a desktop icon"
• Click "Next"
• When the installation is completed, make sure that the checkmark "Launch HaxFix" is placed
• Click "Finish"

A red "dos window" (dos box) will open with the below options:
1. Make logfile
2. Run auto fix
3. Run manual fix
E. Exit Haxfix

• Select option 1. Make logfile by typing 1 and then pressing Enter
• Haxfix will start scanning the computer. When it is finished a logfile will open: haxlog.txt > (c:\haxfix.txt)
• Attach this logfile to your next message.

Now run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. 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:

O16 - DPF: {11B2C0D3-DFFB-11D3-9253-00500498D7E5} - http://reged.mshow.com/(j5xuqgiqtz510h55scqiyv55)/ShowSetup5.cab
O16 - DPF: {1D0D9077-3798-49BB-9058-393499174D5D} - file://c:\counter.cab

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

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

Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. This will create a new MGlogs.zip file. Now attach the below logs:

• C:\haxfix.txt
• C:\avenger.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Then just try reinstalling it from this: AntiVir Personal Edition 7

Make sure you do not let it block the running of Haxfix.

Run Haxfix again and this time select option 2: 2. Run auto fix

Attach the new log from Haxfix

 

You never did what I requested in message number 17. Please complete those instructions.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say about things being in Spybot's Immunnize area. This is normal. That is what the pupose of the Immunize feature is.


Do not run VundoFix? It will not find anything. Spybot is probably just reporting some registry keys that for unknow reasons it cannot fix when they are always very easy to remove. Attach a log from Spybot if it is still showing problems? But did you try fixing them?


Note: Your MGlogs.zip file is showing no problems.

 

Sounds fairly normal! In fact many people would be extremely happy if that is all theirs took.


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 then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN
   • Now type combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
   • Note: The space between the X and the U, it must be there.
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.
7. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
8. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
9. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
10. If you are running 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.
11. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
