Welcome to Major Geeks!

Most people who have these problems have other issues too. So please run the below so we can work up a complete fix.

Question: Why do you have all those backup folders for Logmein? Do you need them? It is confusing the results from FindAWF.
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

 

Would it be a major problem to uninstall LogMeIn on this PC for now while we clean this up? And then you can reinstall we finish the clean up. It may simplify our cleaning steps and in additon, it is quite possible (as Norton states) that it is infected anyway.

• Please download FindAWF.exe by noahdfear.
• Save to your desktop.
• Double-click the FindAWF icon.
  • If a Security Alert shows, allow the program to run.
• As instructed, press any key to continue.
• Use the following option: Press 2 then Enter to restore files from bak folders
• A text file opens called: files.txt
• Click below the line and paste the following list of files to be restored:

• Next, close and click Yes to save the changes.
• Once files.txt is saved, FindAWF does the following:
  • It attempts to terminate the process represented by each filename on the list, if running
  • Deletes the rogue file from the parent folder, if present
  • Copies the original file to the parent folder
• When done with the above, it automatically runs a new scan and opens a new log.
• Please attach the new FindAWF log to your next message.

Uninstall the below software:
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

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:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\jusched.exe"
O16 - DPF: {DF780F87-FF2B-4DF8-92D0-73DB16A1543A} (PopCapLoader Object) - http://download.games.yahoo.com/games/web_games/popcap/chuzzle/popcaploader_v6.cab

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

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

File::
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\CpnMgr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\CpnMgr.inf
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe3473239928
 
Folder::
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06
C:\Program Files\AIM6\bak\aim6.exe
 
Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"WinLoad"=-
"Winload32"=-

• 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.
• 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 run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it.

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip
• also the log from FindAWF

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Many of the things we were trying to fix did not get properly fixed. I'm not sure why. Perhaps Norton was getting in the way. Anyway we will try fixing things again but we will use some other methods this time. Also please answer a question. Do you know how to copy files from one folder into another folder? I may need to have you do this later.

Please shut down all protection software as best as possible so we can avoid issues with it blocking the below fixes.

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

• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop

• 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!

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.
