    oops im so sorry..i just read about not posting before being asked..im sorry.

    i have ran my VET anti virus and it picks up expliot torjans..i read on another forum that deleting the .jar cache in java will fix..i deleted them and ran another virus scan and this time only 1 exloit torjan came up opposed to 5-6.

    i have downloaded spybot,adaware,spyware doctor and they pick up spyware but they do not seem to delte them...spybot jsut stops and says "not responding". when running spy doctor it picks up riongs 1800 solutions and many more and i press remove but they do not remove...as i said in my previous post i do not know a hell of alo about computers...so please help.

    The tutorial spells things out pretty well. It will get rid of a lot of crap that would otherwise clog up a HJT log! If you have any questions, just ask. We are happy to walk you through it :)

    - Try to do the Online Scans
    -Make sure you run McAfee AVERT Stinger and a-squared (in the additional steps section.)

    Best,

    Slater1,
    Please follow these instructions for HijackThis:

    Note that your HijackThis should be up-to-date (v1.98.2) and MUST be extracted to its own safe folder - C:\Program Files\HijackThis

    If you need a Fresh Download of HJT, get it HERE: HijackThis 1.98.2

    Also note that, before you scan, you MUST close all running programs including your web browser, e-mail and items in the system tray.

    Please save your HJT Log as a .txt file and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

    As I mentioned in the PM, you should try to familiarize yourself with Safe Mode, System Restore and the tools in the Tutorial. You will likely still need to use them. I'll check back when I get a chance.

    Dude. . . Relax. Take a deep breath or two.

    What I'd like you to do is to REBOOT to Normal Windows and then scan with HijackThis as per the instructions in my last post.

    Then, ATTACH the log as per the instructions in my last post.

    I'm cutting out for a bit - I'll take a look at your log when I get back, if somebody doesn't beat me to it.

    Read the tutorial (it instructs you on how to boot to Safe Mode) and the FAQ while you're waiting. Everything is explained very well! Frequently Asked Questions (Read Only)

    Hang in there :)

    Please move HijackThis to its own Safe folder C:\Program Files\ HijackThis

    Back in a bit,

    Hi Slater1,

    P2P crap like Ares is a good way to land more malware on your computer. I suggest you dump it.

    Please print out these instructions so that you can operate with All Browser Windows CLOSED.

    Please make sure System Restore is OFF and the Viewing of Hidden Files is Enabled as per the tutorial.

    Now, look in Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) for the following running processes and END them:
    mghzgn.exe
    ytqvshcf.exe

    Ares.exe

    Now scan with HijackThis and check the boxes for the following:
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost

    O2 - BHO: jimmyhelp.CBrowserHelper - {408BCCA1-FBC5-47DB-9D16-CBEF8EEFD7C1} - C:\WINDOWS\vybhbt.dll

    O2 - BHO: mprapdd - {75019F0B-2531-B3A4-10D8-84A10A4EA426} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\mprapdd.dll (file missing)

    O2 - BHO: QuickSearch Search Bar - {82315A18-6CFB-44a7-BDFD-90E36537C252} - C:\Program Files\QuickSearch\QuickSearchBar1_27.dll

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [riktfdasdhps] C:\WINDOWS\System32\mghzgn.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ytqvshcf] C:\WINDOWS\ytqvshcf.exe

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ares] "C:\Documents and Settings\dimity\My Documents\Ares\Ares.exe" -h


    Again, make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    Now boot into Safe Mode and DELETE:

    C:\Documents and Settings\dimity\My Documents\Ares
    C:\WINDOWS\ytqvshcf.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\mghzgn.exe
    (Again, you must be able to view Hidden Files, as per the tutorial, to find all of these.)

    Reboot to Normal Windows and Scan with HijackThis and attach that log. Let us know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and how your computer is running now.

    Best luck :)

    PP,

    You should have Slater download LSP-fix too. QuickSearch is new.net related and fixing that DLL could break the LSP chain. You should also delete that directory when finished too.

    See this link for more info: http://cexx.org/newnet.htm

    Also, try using Add/Remove programs to uninstall Ares first.

    Thanks Chas! :cool: - I promised to check back and post a fix, but real life intruded & I am a bit rushed. The 2 BHOs didn't even register in my tiny brain! :rolleyes:

    Slater1 - Please download the tool that Chas linked. You may need to use it if your LSP chain is broken.

    Likewise, follow his recommendation to uninstall Ares via Add or Remove Programs. While you are at it, look for Quick Search as well.

    Also, add these to be DELETED in safe mode:
    C:\Program Files\QuickSearch
    C:\WINDOWS\vybhbt.dll

    Again, let us know if you run into any problems.

    No problem PP!

    Slater1,

    If you run into a problem where you cannot connect to the internet (or if you happen to notice an O10 line in HJT mentioning a possible problem due to QuickSearchBar1_27.dll), you will need to run the LSP-fix program. Extract it from the ZIP file and run the executable. Check the "I know what I am doing" box Click on QuickSearchBar1_27.dll on the left window and then click on the
    arrow pointing to the right. Click Finish and follow the prompts.

    Again note, you may not even have to worry about this. This info is just in case you do have a problem.

    ok..first of all thank you both very much for taking time out and helping me.

    i have deleted ares...now i just wanna ask...

    i scan using HJT- i check the boxes that you said in your post,{with sys restore off etc}

    i then boot into safe mode and delte the problems,now where will these problems appear? do i jsut go to HJT agian and they are there?

    i have looked in the task manager and dont see mghzgn.exe,ytqvshcf.exe or ares.exe.

    i then delete to normal windows and scan...

    there was a file in the tho >windows>system32> rundll32.exe file
    it looked wierd but i didnt know if i should delete coz you didnt mention that in your post. so all in all im back at square one...just now i dont have ares..:(
     
  23. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    You do not use Stinger to look for and delete files. It is a virus scan application that looks for very specific virus problems. You use Windows Explorer to locate and delete file. One way to bring up Windows Explorer is to click Start and select Explore. The enabling viewing of hidden files is related to Windows Explorer.

    The log file you attached looks okay now. Are you still having any problems?
     
  24. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Do not delete anything unless we tell you to! runndll32.exe is a valid Windows system file. There are many items that belong in the system32 folder. Sometimes bad stuff does hide there too but if you cannot tell the difference between good and bad, don't touch it. Deleting the wrong items in C:\Windows and any subfolders can make your PC non-bootable.

    What do you mean you are at square one? What problems are you having?

    Note: In your previous HJT log, you had FireFox running when you did you HJT scan. In the future, exit all browsers (IE, firefox, and similar) before scanning or fixing anything with HJT.

    ok ran the virus scanner and got this..:

    C:\Documents and Settings\dimity\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\85MJ4DUR\pop[1].htm>unknown - JS.ModalDZoneBypass.exploit trojan.


    C:\Documents and Settings\dimity\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\85MJ4DUR\pop[1].htm contains infected files.


    they are the only ones...before i had 6-7 ..now only these 2...it says they are in temp internet files BUT i cant get into the temp files...i go to>control panel >internet options>delete files but then the screen will freeze and say" not responding" ..i then found the temp internet files and tried to remove them manully but some like java and others still stay there while some things get removed like old pictures and stuff that i have gone to on the net.

    thanks.
