Got sick on Limewire: newdot & others

Welcome to Majorgeeks!

Did you purchase SpyHunter ( with the EnigmaPopupStop)?

What are the below items from your Panda log?
C:\Documents and Settings\Master.OFFICE-1\Desktop\PC Rx\VScan8.EXE[PSKILL.EXE]
C:\Documents and Settings\Master.OFFICE-1\setup.exe


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 FireDaemon Service: ecure (if that is not found, look for the short name: aswUpdSv)... then 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.

Now repeat the above stop and disable for the following services:
FireDaemon Service: svchost1
FireDaemon Service: system

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":

ecure

Now repeat the Delete NT Service steps for:
svchost1
system

If you receive any error messages just ignore them and continue.

Now exit HJT but do not reboot when it tells you it needs to. We will do that further down after running HJT again to fix some other items.


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:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [sys_up1] C:\Program Files\Common Files\svchostsys\svchostsys.exe

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\svchostsys <--- the whole folder
C:\Program Files\NEWDOT~1 <--- the whole folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\simtest <--- the whole folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\caaktt.exe r
C:\WINDOWS\system32\p2pnetworking.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\prmvlz.exe
C:\WINDOWS\cfg32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\keyboard1.dat
C:\WINDOWS\kwv2.dat
C:\WINDOWS\msbb.exe.temp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\setup.exe
C:\WINDOWS\tmlpcert2005
C:\WINDOWS\NDNuninstall6_22.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\FireDaemon.EXE <--- delete all files in this Temp folder. Windows will block a couple from the current date.
C:\nwnmc_4.exe
C:\kybrdc_4.exe
C:\dfndrc_4.exe
H:\My Downloads\Limewire\1 CD Ripper v1.73.rar

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

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.

Note for IE 7 users: You need to select Internet Options then the Advanced tab and then Reset Internet Explorer Settings!

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
