    Hi,

    I have followed your Malware Removal Guide. Currently, things seem to be okay. I was getting cpvfeed popups and other redirectional popups.

    So far they have stopped but I saw in both bitdefender and pandaactive scan there were things that did not get removed. I am attaching all the log info in the hopes that you guys can give me direction on what to do next.

    I looked at the HijackTHis log and compared it to the information you give on your site but i have little experience with this sort of thing and i fear deleting anything important.

    Thanks in advance

    This is the second set of files.

    By the way,

    This began on April 6/07 at about 10:00PM. I downloaded a small zip file that was infected. I noticed in the ShowNew that that date appeared a few times so i thought it might be relevant. God knows i probably had other crap previous to that but that was when things went out of control!

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    We have a lot to do! Since this is going to be a long procedure, I'm going to break it into two messages. Complete the steps in this message first!!


    Please download and install Registrar Lite Make sure you select a Majorgeeks download link and not the Authors!
    • Copy & Paste the registry key from above into the Address bar of Registrar Lite and hit the enter key. This will bring you to the registry key.
    • Click-on Security in the top Menu
    • Select Take Ownership
    • Repeat these steps for all of the registry keys given above before continue to the next steps below.
    • Now leave RegistrarLite running and continue
    • Now run the fixME.reg REGISTRY PATCH below in this message.
    • Tell me the results. Any error messages?
    • Now in RegistrarLite click View and then Refresh
    • Now navigate one at a time to each of the above keys we took ownership of to make sure they were deleted.
    • If any of the keys still exist, move on down to PART 2 - Setting Permissions for Everyone below!.
    Here is the Registry Patch

    Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixCMD.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.

    PART 2 - Setting Permissions for Everyone
    Run the below if some of the registry keys still exist after running the above steps.

    Now I want you to use Registar Lite again to navigate to each of the below keys (one at a time) by pasting them into the Address Bar and hitting return. But this time click the Security menu item and select Edit Permissions so we can change permissions to everyone ( I describe this down below the list of registry keys).
    After click Edit Permissions , here is what I expect you to see in the Group or user names area of the form:

    Everyone
    SYSTEM

    Select Everyone by clicking on it. Now at the bottom in the Permissions box click the check box for Full Control. The click Apply and then OK to get back to the main Registrar Lite screen. Nowright click on the registry key and select Delete. The click View and Refresh. Check to see if the registry key just deleted truly deleted. If so, move on to the next to work thru the whole list. If it does not delete, I want you to boot into safe mode and repeat these exact same steps to see if we can do it from safe mode.

    Then reboot your PC!

    • On the page that opens, scroll down to Client IP-IPX

    • Click OK until you get back to Windows.

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


    Start 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.

    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:

    O2 - BHO: 0 - {CC2B1103-B111-4CDE-2ABD-35F39C1DA3BF} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E3343B8F-5B6C-461A-9D69-E4D1A2C6D980} - C:\Program Files\Online Services\mewofyjy.dll
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winlog] winlog.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [p2pnetworking] p2pnetworking.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [winlog] winlog.exe

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    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 run Pocket Killbox by doubleclicking on killbox.exe
    • select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    • 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.
    • 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:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\PowerReg Scheduler.exe
    c:\windows\downloaded program files\f3initialsetup1.0.0.8.inf
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Yazzle1122OinUninstaller.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\111uninst.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\uni_eh10.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\SnVkeSBNb3JnYW4\mBp4ym1hvaLBsqb.vbs
    C:\WINDOWS\VTTC.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\setup9x.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\2d2ca2ce-704a-428c-8cbe-0736b29190aa.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bund1\ClientBundle1.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\micro1\a3.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\micro1\mc8.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\p2pnetworking.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\winlog.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\core.sys
    • Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
    • Click the red-and-white Delete File button. 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.

    After reboot locate the below folder and delete if found:
    c:\program files\winupdate
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Favorites\Fun & Games
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bund1
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\micro1

    Now run Ccleaner!

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

    1. GetRunKey
    2. ShowNew
    3. HJT
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    Reminder Note: Once we have determined you are malware free you will need to disable System Restore, reboot, and re-enable system restore per step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. This only applies to if using WinXP or WinMe.

    Hi,

    Am I missing something? Instruction number one doesn't seem to make sense to me. Could you clarify?

    Thanks

    Sorry about that! The first part of the instructions got cut out some how. It was missing the download instructions for Registrar Lite. Re-Read it now. ;)
