I have a virus that slows my internet to a snail

Among other things..you have a Wareout infection.

Please re-do the Read and Run Instructions and attach all the requested logs.

 

NO YOU HAVE NOT! If you are referring to what you posted in August of 2006, that is too old to be of any use what so ever.

As TimW stated, you need to run the whole READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support sticky thread which has changed tremendously since you last posted here. Then attach ALL 6 requested logs (including a new HJT log that is obtained AFTER running all the other steps. HJT is the last thing to be performed before posting.)

 

Since TimW is not here right now, I'll give you the next steps to keep you moving.

Run this WareOut Removal and attach the requested log.


Then also attach a new HJT log.

Also please do step # 2 of the READ ME properly!!!!

 

Okay I'll save TimW the effor since I have a free moment!

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete the below (if found - it may already be gone).
c:\windows\system32\Owner.exe

Now run Ccleaner.

Now reboot in normal mode

Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

1. GetRunKey
2. ShowNew
3. HJT

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

We are not quite finished yet. You have an important update to get.

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
Make sure you reboot after uninstalling the above!

After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment

Not necessary but if you feel more comfortable that way, you can change them back. However note that doing this also gives malware an easy hiding place since you will not see it either.

Covered in my final steps since your logs are clean.


If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
   • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
2. If we used ComboFix you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
4. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
7. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!
