It is for your sound card. Leave it alone.

It is given to you in step 7. Please click the links given in step 7 and read them.

 

I see Weatherbug in your log! Did you look for it in Add/Remove programs and try to uninstall it?

I also see possible Look 2 Me infections.

Something else I noticed is a remnant of SpySweeper. Did you have a version install and uninstall it? Was it the paid or free trial version?

 

More questions:

1) Did you install NeoPets? It is really not recommended as it connects to many advertising sites. For additional info here is a thread talking about it on another site: http://forums.techguy.org/networking/424139-cant-get-online-virus-please.html

2) Did you want Spybot to run at every startup? This can be rather time consuming.

 

Looks like it did not work properly. Try the below tool, follow the instructions on the download page:

Look2Me Remover

Afterwards, attach a new HJT log and tell me how things are working.

 

Did you install this?
O4 - Startup: StayOn Pro.lnk = C:\Program Files\StayOn Pro\StayOn Pro.exe

Did you buy it? There are many cracked (illegal) versions around containing viruses.

Note the below is a BIG resource hog which can slow your PC down. Do you use it?
O4 - Global Startup: BigFix.lnk = C:\Program Files\BigFix\BigFix.exe

I deleted it from every PC that I have physically worked on myself.

Okay let's continue fixing your problems manually.
Start by downloading two tools we will need:

- Process Explorer

- Pocket KillBox

Extract them to their own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate them later.

IMPORTANT: You should print or save the below locally, so you can refer to them while offline. You must exit all browsers before running the below steps and it would be best if you actually physically unplug your cable to the internet, reboot, and do not run anything but what I give you to do. Also it would be good to exit all processes and items in your System tray.

Do the above before continuing! Okay unplug your cable now.

Make sure you have rebooted in Normal Mode (do not open any other processes)

- Run Process Explorer

In the top section of the Process Explorer screen double click on winlogon.exe to bring up the winlogon.exe properties screen. Click on the Threads tab at the top.

Once you see this screen click on each instance of meimhluc.dll once and then click the kill button. After you have killed all of the meimhluc.dll under winlogon click ok. (If you do not find the dll, just continue on.)

Next double click on explorer.exe and again click once on each instance of meimhluc.dll and kill it.

Now just exit Process Explorer.

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: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {6422e234-ee55-4f8a-b967-2199fa225633} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\wkbfifng.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Tsa2] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\tsa\tsm2.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Weather] C:\PROGRA~1\AWS\WEATHE~1\Weather.exe 1
O20 - Winlogon Notify: meimhluc - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\meimhluc.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: WRNotifier - WRLogonNTF.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: xmlrun - C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\xmlrun.dll (file missing)

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:
Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click OK.

Run Killbox.exe. Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time. Check mark the box that says "Delete on Reboot" and checkmark the box "Unregister DLL" (If available) Click the RED X and it will ask you to confirm the file for deletion…say YES and when the next box opens prompting you to reboot now...click NO...and proceed with the next file. Once you get to the last one click YES and it will reboot. Note some of the files listed below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wkbfifng.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\meimhluc.dll

If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

After reboot locate the below with Windows Explorer and delete them (these may already be gone! We are double checking to be sure.)
C:\Program Files\Common Files\tsa <--- the whole folder
C:\Program Files\AWS <--- the whole folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wkbfifng.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\meimhluc.dll
C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\xmlrun.dll

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 attach a new HJT log and tell me how the steps went.
Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

That's good news!

Just one more item to repeat cleaning up. Fix the below line using HijackThis:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: meimhluc - meimhluc.dll (file missing)


Then look at another log (you do not need to attach a log) yourself and make sure it is gone. Just tell me the result.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to go back to step 1 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points. Then reboot and enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

Then continue what you started in the How to protect thread.

 

You're welcome. Happy I could help! Surf safely!
