HiJacked :)

Well well. Finally after nearly 3 years of zero spyware on my computer, my girlfriend managed to nab me

I tend to get ads from eXactSearch.net or Bullseye Network (http://www.exactadvertising.com/consumers_faq.html) I ran all the virus and spyware removers I could, but they dont recognize it.

Attacted is a HiJackThis log.


Also, sidenote... a DLL tries to run often called CEWUINIT.DLL when I shutdown or reboot, I couldn't find it anywhere... often it tries to start up and I get an error... other times I guess it suceeds.

 

Download this trial version of Ewido Security Suite

• Install ewido security suite
• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
• The program will have a window come up. One of the buttons on the left is to Update. Click the Update button.and then Start the Update. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
• After it completes the update, click the Scanner button

Now exit Ewido. Now print the below instructions or save them locally because I want you do have no browsers opened and also have no connection to the internet (unplug your cable) while doing the below.

Okay, reboot into safe mode and follow the steps below. (If you have any problems at all trying to get into safe mode to complete these steps, just run them in normal boot mode and make sure you tell me when you come back.)

Open up Ewido and do the following:

• Click on Scanner
• Then click Settings
• Under What to Scan? Select Scan every file
• Then click OK
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will start.
• Let the program scan the machine

While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files that are infected. Leave the defaults selections (to Remove and backup) and click OK. To save yourself some time, you can select Perform action with all infections and then click OK. With the option to scan every file, a lot of cookies will be removed.

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report

• Click Save report
• Save the report to your desktop or anyplace you will be able to find it to upload here.

Reboot into normal mode and reconnect to the internet.

Come back here and post the Ewido Scan Report along with a fresh HJT log.

 

Ok, the ewido security suite caught a lot of things spybot and adware and avast couldn't catch.

Attached are logs.

 

nope, still hijacked... got an online poker popup while surfing microsoft.com

UGG

 

- Download, install and update Spy Sweeper Run it once while you are in normal boot mode.

- The boot in safe mode from and run SpySweeper one more time.

Now reboot in normal mode.

Save and attach the logs from both runs along with a fresh HJT log.

 

Ok.

Found some more adware, the description of some said they can cause popups.. so we might have found those little devils.

I'll surf the internet later tonight to see if I get more popups.

(btw, the sticky on how to get ride of WinFixer worked well for my GF's computer, thanx)

Attatched are the logs.

 

First, please uninstall Ewido and SpySweeper so they will not block anything we try to fix in a moment.

Attach a new log from normal mode.

 

Ok, they are uninstalled, but I still have Microsoft AntiSpyware in the taskbar.. if that matters.

 

Scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: WRNotifier - WRLogonNTF.dll (file missing)

Make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

NEXT:
Run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

Run full scans with Ad-Aware SE & Spybot S&D and have both programs fix what they find.
Note: Remember to get all updates before doing the scans.

Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start > Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

And Click OK.


After you complete the above, reboot and let me know how things are running.

 

yep, I think you did it

Thanks for the help.
