Help - infected with spydawn.

What difficulty are you having with the GetRun and ShowNew files? Are you getting an error message? Are you tryng to run it from the zip file?

 

You did not rename HJT as directed in the instructions. Please uninstall it and redownload it and rename it as directed.

Continue by downloading a tool we will need - Pocket KillBox

Save it to its own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate it later.

Please uninstall these using add/remove programs:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10"
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6"
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9
Video Access ActiveX Object 1.15

Reboot and install:
Java Runtime 6

Now run Pocket Killbox by doubleclicking on killbox.exe
Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files.
Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.
NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue.

Select:

* Delete on Reboot
* then Click on the All Files button.*(or on the folders option)*
* Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\xkrdk.dll

* Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
* Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click the box to unregister dll's. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt.

If you receive a PendingFileRenameOperations prompt, just click OK to continue (But please let me know if you receive this message!).

If Killbox does not reboot just reboot your PC yourself.

Please 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.

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 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =
O21 - SSODL: didynamia - {8329660f-e248-4872-98cc-fb9c4fec7ba8} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\xkrdk.dll

Now attach new logs for:

* GetRunKey
* ShowNew
* HJT

Be sure to tell us how things are running.

 

ShowNew and GetRun need to be run after doing the last procedure ...otherwise I don;t know if it worked.
Please re-run them and post the new logs.
