    OK Yall I have tried for 3 days to run a virus scan and have not been able to. I let them try to run for hours on end and they just will not run. I have tried your Trend Micro's Free Online Virus Scan and the Symantec Security Check both and my Nortons antivirus also. I have let them sit for right at 20 hours waiting for them to run to no avail. What else can I do?

    I have done all the downloads yall asked but don't want to get ahead of myself here so I am asking where to go next.

    Thank You HisAngel :(

    If you cannot get them to complete and have run all other steps of the READ ME, do the following.

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENTto your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    Where you running the two IE sessions?

    c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    Remember that all browsers must be shut down before using HJT. If you were not running them, that would be info you should try to tell us.

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\Program Files\DeskAd Service <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\SEARCH~2\SEARCH~1.DLL <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\EZTRACKS <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\ISTsvc <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Toolbar <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\AWS <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\SideFind <--- the whole folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\APPLIC~1\GLUEMU~1 <--- the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\qdnwma.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\nem220.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\systb.dll

    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.


    Now run Ccleaner that you 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.


    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

    No offense Angel. After looking at your HJT log I knew you had alot to remove. You can see that by all the fixes Chas gave you. :)

    What TheOldThug was saying is that you are the kind user we commonly refer to as a spyware collector because you have so much of it in your system. You really need to be more careful where you are surfing and what you are downloading. And read the license agreements and privacy policies before accepting any of the software.

    Does you Symantec software include a firewall? If not, you MUST get one. If it does, you should make sure you have configured it properly and that you are not allowing any malware applications access to and from your system.

    Ok done all the steps you asked and here is my HJT log this seem to be doing fine but I still have not tried to do a scan.

    Answers to questions you had:

    Questions:
    Do you use the following?
    C:\Program Files\Netscape Internet Service\ncupdatesvc.exe
    C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe

    yes i do use Netscape it is my ISP as far as the other one I have no idea.


    Are you working behind a proxy server? Do you need the below settings for ProxyOverride?

    no idea what a proxy server is so I can't say there sorry



    Do you really use all these tool bars you have installed?
    Only tool bars I use are my google and my Dictionary.com thats it no others.



    Do you need the below DeskFlag items installed?

    I do not use the deskflag item no I removed it while I was in add/remove programs. as far as the holiday lights i do use it to run my screen saver cause it lets me use the pics of my grand baby in it but if it means compromising my PC then I can find a different way to display them.




    Do you know what the below application is?
    C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\APPLIC~1\MOVECO~1\Loadtest.exe

    No idea.




    Yes i am using Windows XP and yes i have sys restore off and hidden files and folders viewable.





    Does you Symantec software include a firewall?

    Yes it does have a firewall, now if I have it setup right might be the question here but I do have one and I DO USE IT.



    Ok going to post this now I hope I got all the questions answered for you.

    Thank You HisAngel

    Viewpoint is junk installed by AOL without asking you. 99% of people do not know they even have it or what it is for. Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall (if found):
    Viewpoint or Viewpoint Manager or Viewpoint Toolbar or Viewpoint Media Player

    Also while there and since you said you do not use them, uninstall (if found)(note: it is not necessary to uninstall these, they are not bad. But if you don't use them they are just wasting system resources and cluttering up your system):
    MSN Toolbar
    AOL Toolbar
    ICQToolbar

    Since your probably do not use a ProxyServer, we will have HJT fix that R1 line (further down in this message).

    You MUST remember to exit your browser before running HJT. IE was still running:
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    Not exiting your browser can make it difficult to impossible to repair certain problems.

    You do not need to uninstall Holiday Lights! But you do not really have to load it at Startup. You can just run it when desired from Start -> All Programs

    Did you have a problem ending this process last time: C:\WINDOWS\qdnwma.exe
    Was there a problem fixing this line:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ns2dGXc] C:\WINDOWS\qdnwma.exe

    They are still in your log.

    Did you do the Reset Web Settings step last time?

    Is the below your expected Start Page:
    http://my.msn.com/?page=2

    ok I did the remove programs part and now I am going to go remove the proxy thur HJT and yes I promise you all windows were closed. I do not know why it is saying it is open I am not even running my firewall or my virus scanner while I am doing this stuff. I am not even on-line while I am running HJT. So why is it saying that????

    I did not think there was a problom with
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ns2dGXc] C:\WINDOWS\qdnwma.exe
    but I will try again.

    and yes i reset web settings but it should be www.msn.com I will reset again.

    Thank You HisAngel

    That's what some malware does. And that is why I asked? I was suspecting from some items seen in your log that malware was running IE in the background without your knowledge.

    Your firewall should never be off unless you are physically disconnected from the internet.

    Did you decide earlier not to uninstall AOL Toolbar?
     
  25. HisAngel

    HisAngel Private First Class

    OK its on now and yes I have them set to block sorry about that. I was afraid it might interfere with the scans and such.

    There is something left over from the AOL Toolbar. We can fix it with HJT. I just wanted to be sure.

    Did you run FxIstbar.exe
     
  27. HisAngel

    HisAngel Private First Class

    Fixing to run it now.

    I looked and the only thing in Add/Remove Programs left for AOL is the isp set I used to have but when I try to remove it it errors and won't finnish. I have a couple programs that have that problom.

    Thank You HisAngel

    Just have HJT fix the below line:

    O8 - Extra context menu item: &AOL Toolbar search - res://C:\Program Files\AOL Toolbar\toolbar.dll/SEARCH.HTML

    Then remove the following folder (you may have to reboot to do that)
    C:\Program Files\AOL Toolbar


    Make sure you follow up the symantec scan and fixing the above with a new HJT log.

    I'll be back later gotta run for awhile.

    ok I will try to have it all done when you get back.


    And when you do get back can you tell me how to remove something like that? Something where the Add/Remove won't remove it?

    Thank You HisAngel

    You're welcome. Hmmm! We have some new stuff popping up.

    Where did this ProxyServer entry come from? Do you use a ProxyServer with your ISP?
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5400

    And also where did the below two O17 lines now come from? I thought you were saying you do not use AOL? That IP address is for AOL and the proxy setting above may be from them to. Did you run something from AOL since my last message? It sure looks like it.
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{29B1BE57-A3EE-4F17-96F9-3DAC46F8E350}: NameServer = 205.188.146.145
    O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\..\{29B1BE57-A3EE-4F17-96F9-3DAC46F8E350}: NameServer = 205.188.146.145


    Make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
    C:\Program Files\ISTsvc\istsvc.exe

    After killing all the above processes, click "Back".

    Then please click "Scan" 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 - HKLM\..\Run: [IST Service] C:\Program Files\ISTsvc\istsvc.exe

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\Program Files\ISTsvc <--- the whole folder

    Now run Ccleaner!

    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

    No I did not run any AOL, I deleted some AOL but did not run any.

    On that first file you have posted I see a verizon

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5400

    I did have Verizon as a server at one time a while back must be something leftover from that.


    While I was gone my Nortons started and ran a full scan and it found 2 things
    ancotix.ocx = Dialer.Aconti
    backup-20050310-170356-156.dll = Dialer.Generic

    I will get on the new list of things you have posted for me to do right now.

    Thank You HisAngel

    It does not say Verizon. It says Version!

    You are hiding protected operating systems files. We asked you not to do that.

    Oppps sorry is this better?

    Also do I need to delete those 2 things that Nortons found before I do these HJT and other things you have asked?

    Thank You HisAngel

    Yes! That's better. Did Norton indicate a folder where it found the files?
     
  37. HisAngel

    HisAngel Private First Class

    Yes

    The file C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\acontix.ocx is a Dialer threay.

    Second one is

    The file C:\Program Fiels\HJT\backup-20050310-170356-516.dll is a Dialer threat.

    That is what Nortons says about them.

    Thank You HisAngel
     
  38. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Only the first one needs to be fixed. The second one is not a problem. It is in a HijackThis backup log from something we already removed.

    So fix the first one and do the other things I gave. Time for me to get some sleep.

    Good night!

    Ok all of the above is done and here is the HJT log. I booted back up into reg. mode and made sure everything was shut down to gather this HJT log.

    Also I forgot to say in my last post that I am leaving later today for home it is a 5 hour trip and I do not have Internet access there so it might be a few days before I can log back in but I will be back as soon as I can to finish this.

    I am very upset I just found out they are transferring my Hubby to a different state and I am sorry there is nothing I can do I have no control over this. :mad:

    I will log back in as soon as possible.

    Thank You HisAngel

    You log is clean! You should now check out the below thread and make sure the equivalent of all the steps has been done:

    How to Protect yourself from malware!

    I have one problem with the malware steps and that is step one requires that I use windows update and I can not install windows update service pack two. My computer will not run this installment, What can I do?



    We are going home to south east Texas and then probably to California.
     
  43. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Do not select Express install! Use Custom install and select all items except SP2.

    California is nice (without the earthquakes, mudslides, or forest fires ;) )

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Norton/Symantec makes some good software. The biggest problem many of us have with it is that it is getting so bloated and uses up so much of a systems resources making some PCs run rather slowly. If you are happy with it and pay to keep it updated, stick with it. Make sure you stay udated.

    How is everything working now?
     
  46. HisAngel

    HisAngel Private First Class

    Yes I do keep it updated I am very BIG on that I really love my Nortons I just wanted to make sure it was a good setup.

    I am downloading the Windows system updates now there was 19 of them to download I guess it had been a while since I been in there that Service Pack 2 kinda aggravated me cause it would not let my PC run at all so I did not go in there afraid it would mess something up again... plus I have a friend that swearers Windows update is just a big screw up and that no one should download from there cause it just messes things up lol. I guess I really should learn not listen to people lol.

    It seems to be running smooth now just a couple issues going on but nothing drastic but I would like to ask you if it is any thing important if when you go to your windows tool bar and point to the boxes on there for the pages you have open and the name of the site, or what ever that page happens to be, pops up and there is a large empty black space behind the name of the page?

    I know I have bugged you to death with all this stuff but you have been great thank you so much for all your help.

    Thank You HisAngel

    I'm not sure I follow you. What are you running? Are you talking about running Internet Explorer and looking at a toolbar? Or are you talking about the Taskbar at the bottom of your screen where runing applications showup. I think you meant the later. If so just for future reference it is called the Taskbar not a toolbar.

    Do you see the actual name of the web page when you hold your mouse cursor over the items, or do you just see black? I'm not sure what you mean by a large empty black space.
     
  48. HisAngel

    HisAngel Private First Class

    Yes I did mean the Taskbar and yes I do see the name of the page but there appears to be a bigger area that is all black under the the little area that says the name like a shadow.

    Did that sound better?

    Well I goofed lol I got the Service Pack 2. After I downloaded and installed the updates it said that one of the windows fixes did not download right to go uninstall and reinstall. and when I went to uninstall the service pack 2 was there and everything seems to be running fine so maybe they fixed it. Is that a possible?
     
  50. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    I'm not sure why! It could be something you have installed or some other setting. You still have a load of toolbars, buttons, and extra menus items loading (the O8 and O9 section of you HJT log). Also, you have a load of 016 active x items loading. I'm not sure what all of there effects may be since I don't and personally would not load all that stuff.

    Your log was clean and I doubt this has anything to do with malware. If it really bothers you, try booting in safe mode and see if it happens there. If not, try booting in normal mode and kill all unnecessary processes and see if it goes away.

    You may want to check over in the Software Forum to see if this sounds familiar to anyone.
