• 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 and attach a log:

• When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too (these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)
  • Bitdefender
  • Panda Scan
  • HijackThis

Re: Hopefully Netster is Gone (part3)

Is there a reason why you did not run Bitdefender and attach the log as requested in step 6 of the READ & RUN ME?

Looks like Ewido found and fixed a few of your problems. This means that some of what I give below for you to fix may no longer be found, but it does not hurt us to double check.

Make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).
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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\sngpw40.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Sngsh40.dll
C:\WINDOWS\switchagreement.txt
C:\WINDOWS\system\sngsh35.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system\sngsw40.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddcya.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ngpw40.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ngsh35.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ngsh40.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ngsw40.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sms_msn.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sms_msn40.exe

Additional step to delete files in the Downloaded Program Files folder :
- Click Start, Run, and enter cmd in the box and click OK. This opens a command prompt windows.
- Enter the following command lines each followed by the enter key
cd C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\
attrib -r -h -s start28.inf
del start28.inf
attrib -r -h -s eied.inf
del eied.inf
exit

Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.
Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST).

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 reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log.

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.
