    The other day i started noricing some strange behavior from my computer and I did a scan with MBAM and it found something called H@tkeysh@@k.dll. I deleted it and I did another scan with MBAM a few days later and I noticed the little bastard came back. Then my computer started getting worst. I also noticed a new startup key.
    Anywho, here are my logs. (yay I finally got all of them!)

    Hi

    Important Notice: A new version of SUPERAntiSpyware is out
    • Please uninstall your current version (this is necessary).
    • Then download this SUPERAntiSpyware
    • Install this new version. It may tell you that you need to reboot to complete the installation. You must reboot at this time.
    • After the reboot, run SUPERAntiSpyware and immediately click the Check for Updates button to get more updates for the database.
    • Now run a new full scan of your system. And attach this log later.

    in the meantime I shall review your logs and get back to you with a set of instructions ASAP. Please don't forget to attach the new log from SAS.

    Thanks
    Kestrel13!

    Okay...

    (what new start up key are you referring to?)


    I would like for you to run the below:

    Disabling AutoRuns

    and I suggest that you check any removable devices for malware.

    FYI:

    You have lots of DLL's and executables stored in the program files directory. This is not really the best place for them.

    To name but a few:

    • c:\program files\NF_Movie_Player_211.msi
    • c:\program files\UnHyCam2.exe
    • c:\program files\HyCam2.exe
    • c:\program files\CamRes2.dll
    • c:\program files\HyCam2.tlb
    • c:\program files\MClick2.dll

    After completing the above, let's do this:




    1. Please go to Add/remove Programs and uninstall the following softwares:

    • Viewpoint Media Player <--- as requested in step 1 of the R&R
    • Java(TM) 6 Update 3 <--- outdated
    • Ad-Aware <--- not as effective as MBAM or SAS
      [*]

    2. Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) 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.


    3. Now we need to use ComboFix.

    • Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
    • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    • Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it
    (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    
    KILLALL::
    
    Driver::
    Nwsknuedm_3d
    Pdfrga
    I8dioerg
    
    DirLook::
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\{60D464C1-2204-4CB3-812D-21B7FCE55447}
    
    Folder::
    C:\Program Files\AVG
    
    
    • Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    • At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    • You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
    • Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

    • Follow the prompts.
    • When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
    • I will ask for this log below

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


    4. Now reboot your machine and install the most current and up to date version of Java available here at the below link:

    Java Runtime 6


    5. Now go to this MGTools and download the new version of MGtools.exe. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

    Run the new MGTools.exe and attach the C:\mglogs.zip that it generates into your next reply as well as the log from running Combofix.

    6. Scan with MBAM again, fix what it finds, and attach the log from running it.

    7. Let us know how things are running now!

    I'm not quit sure what the start up kry was, it was like ovcbjt -a it was a bunch of random letters so I figured it was malware.

    Anyways here are my new logs.

    1. Now we need to use Combofix again to tidy up your registry and to see off a bad file.

    • Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
    • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    • Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it
    (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    
    KILLALL::
    
    File::
    c:\documents and settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\{60D464C1-2204-4CB3-812D-21B7FCE55447}\chrome\content\overlay.xul
    
    Registry::
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run-]
    "AcctMgr"=-
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder]
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg] 
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\services]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\services]
    
    
    • Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    • At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    • You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
    • Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

      http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3014/3035535531_512f04c6a2_o.gif

    • When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
    • I will ask for this log below

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


    2. Now go to this MGTools and download the new version of MGtools.exe. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

    3. Run the new Mgtools.exe and attach the zipped file it generates into your next reply.

    4. Please tell me how things are running now!!

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
      • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
