Another Vundo Problem

Please read the announcement and sticky threads. HJT logs should only be posted when requested and then it also must be installed and run properly but normally only after running standard cleaning procedures as given below.

Please run the steps below.

- Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

- Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis:

Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

.

 

Note you do have more problems than just Virtumundo. I would also get rid of MyWay stuff from Dell although some think it is not spyware.

 

If you ran ALL of the READ ME then complete the remain part of my previous message.

 

Well yes and no! There is still a remaining part:

 

Your missing the point! You need to post a new log now after following all the directions. In your first post you had not run the READ ME and HJT was not installed and run properly. You ran it from the ZIP file:

C:\DOCUME~1\Michael\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 2 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe

 

But that is what the link I posted ( Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis ) asks for!

 

You should first go to the below link and get rid of the MyWay crap Dell put on your PC.

http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=si_virus&message.id=42328

Then continue with the below.

Click on Start, then Run ... type services.msc into the box that opens up, and press 'OK'.
On the page that opens, scroll down to CWShredder Service ... right click the entry, select 'Properties' and press 'Stop Service'. When it shows that it is stopped, next please set the 'Start-up Type' to 'Disabled'. Press 'OK' until you get back to Windows.

Next, run HJT, but instead of scanning, click on the "None of the above, just start the program" button at the bottom of the choices. At the lower right, click on the 'Config" button, and then the Misc tools' button ... select 'Delete an NT Service" ... copy/paste the following into the box that opens, and press "OK":

CWShredder Service

Now exit HJT and do not reboot if it asks you to do so. We will reboot later in my next message.

 

After completing my previous steps, continue with the below. Hopefully the MyWay stuff is gone but I'm leaving in some removal for it below too.

Please make sure System Restore is OFF and the How to view hidden, system files & folders! is Enabled as per the tutorial.

• After you have fixed these items, close Hijackthis and Press any key to Force a reboot of your computer.
• Pressing any key will cause a "Blue Screen of Death" this is normal, do not worry!
• Now after reboot, use Windows Explorer to delete the below folder if found:

C:\Program Files\MyWaySA
​

Now we need to Reset Web Settings:

1) If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.
2) Now right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK. Then skip step 3.
3) If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

Now please attach a new HJT log from normal mode.
