    So last Friday I put a new hard drive in my wife's laptop and restored her circa 2005 Windows XP. Much to my chagrin Norton was not activated and there was no SP2. I know not putting them both in was what led me down this road and don't need to be told I'm dumb, tyvm. So on Friday my wife was surfing, weather.com I think, and got blitzed with malware and viruses. I've put in SP2 and put in AVG antivirus, plus Adaware and all the other tools I needed to cleanse. However, even after running all the programs and following ALL the steps I still get a yellow triangle popup in the system tray (which tells me I'm infected with spyware and goes to system defender) and, when I run a browser, 2 types of Security Warning/Integrity popups, which tell me to install pc-antispyware. So ANY help would be appreciated. SAS, MBAM, and MGtools logs are attached.

    Thanks trillions in advance!

    C

    PS I'm not sure MGTools worked completely to generate the log, even after I installed .net 3.5 . ANYway!

    Thanks for the welcome. I have done some self-surgery through a hijack this fix, which will hopefully not be too painful. I hereby enclose the latest logs

    Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. 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:

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" /background
    O4 - HKLM\..\Policies\Explorer\Run: [xv4wN5Ybv0] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\dkzqzgvo\dqlebqba.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Policies\Explorer\Run: [dtH4WPim79] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\dkzqzgvo\dqlebqba.exe
    O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\System32\tmp_ivp.dll

    NOTE: HJT may popup an error about the AppInit_DLLs line. Ignore it and click OK to continue.

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


    Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.
    • Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
    • Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
    • Do not change any check box options!!
    • Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:
    • Now click the Execute button.
    • Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
    • Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
    • Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    • A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

    Also delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
    C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
    C:\Documents and Settings\Daria\Local Settings\Temp

    Now run Ccleaner!

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.

    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    Re: Solved!

    You really should attach the follow up logs that were requested in message # 4 so we can make sure that everything was fixed. When we are sure all problems have been fixed, we do have other final instructions to give you.

    Your logs are clean.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop & renamed it 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\cf" /u
        • Notes: The space between the cf" 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:\cf folder from combofix.
    2. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
    3. 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.
    4. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. 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.
    7. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    8. If you are running 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.
    9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
