    I have tried everything including AdAware Se, Spybot, CWShredder, SpywareBlaster, and all online antivirus scanners, but I have had no success in getting rid of www.loadingwebsite.com and it's associates. Can someone please help?

    P.S. If anyone has ever played and remembers the Lenny Loosejocks game and wonders whatever happened to that game, DO NOT go to lennyloosejocks.com. That is where all of my problems first started.

    IGetNet, Common Hijacker, & Loadingwebsite.com

    I can't get rid of IGetNet, Loadingwebsite.com, or something AdAware calls "Common Hijacker" no matter what I do. I have cleared a number of entries on the registry and have used all the spyware/adware and virus removal programs recommended by majorgeeks.com and other websites, but nothing has worked. PLEASE HELP! I don't know what else to do except wipe out everything and reload Windows XP (which I want to avoid).

    Have you run ALL the steps in: -READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal


    If so, and you still have a problem, follow the steps below.

    - 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 ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    Re: IGetNet, Common Hijacker, & Loadingwebsite.com

    You already have a thread started for you problem. You need to stay in one thread and follow the directions given in it.

    I'm merging you back to the other thread.

    Please follow the directions in message # 4. You do not even have the proper version of HijackThis. You also ignored the other steps.

    Also please download LSP - Fix

    Now run LSP-Fix.

    Check the Box labeled "I know what I'm doing" and then click on the aklsp.dll file (in the “Keep” section) to select it.

    Then, Select the >> button to move aklsp.dll into the Remove section.

    Now, click the Finish Button. When the Repair Summary box appears, click OK.
    Now repeat the above for dolsp.dll

    Let me know when you finish this!

    I have ran every step as discussed in the basic spyware, trojan and virus removal post. If anything shows up that you believe shouldn't be there after running any of the programs it is because I have ran the programs over and over again and every time I restart my computer (and sometimes when I haven't), certain files reappear mysteriously. Here is the HijackThis file you requested (the latest version), and I have ran the other program, LSP - Fix, as requested.

    We seem to be having a problem with directions! You have HijackThis running from:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\My Documents\Virus and Spyware Protection\HijackThis.exe

    We specically request that it not be run from any sub-folder that is part of the C:\Documents and Settings folder. Please locate it as request.

    Also do not reboot unless requested. Do not run anything unless requested. Just wait for me to give you the next steps.

    Please download the following tools and save them where you will be able to find them. I save stuff like this to a C:\downloads\Spyware-Stuff folder and I put each in their own subfolder. It makes it easy to find. Make sure you download them from the links below:

    L2MeFix Tool

    Generic Detection Tool - NT/2000/XP

    VX2.BetterInternet Finder XP/2k - Version Msg126

    Pocket KillBox

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

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

    Exit Browsers now before continuing


    First Step:

    Extract all the files from the Generic Detection Tool into its own folder.
    Then run find.bat. Post the log it creates back here as an attachment (do it later when we reconnect).

    Second Step:
    Please move the L2MeFix Tool to your Desktop and DoubleClick l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix Folder on your Desktop. DoubleClick l2mfix.bat and Type 1 and ENTER to select Option #1 for Run Find Log . Allow it as much time as it needs to run until NotePad opens with a log.

    NOTE: Please do not run any other options or files in the l2mfix Folder!

    Third Step:
    Get a new HJT log.

    Now reconnect and come back here and post as attachments the l2mfix log the find.bat log (normally already named output.txt) and the new HJT log (this will require two posts as only two attachments can be made in a message).Based on those logs, we will determine the next steps.

    Please DO NOT REBOOT after scanning for these logs!! Otherwise problems may mutate and spread. Wait for me to get back to you with the next steps.

    Alright, you were right, I was wrong. This time I ran HijackThis from C:\Program Files\. I hope this is ok. Here it is:

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Okay! You have that right now. But remember to exit browsers before using HijackThis. You had the following running:
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    Just continue now with the steps in my previous message. You have a nasty L2Me VX2 infection we need to fix

    Okay! Moving along! Here are the next steps! I know this is tedious but we are making progress and this next step is going to clean up a load of bad stuff.

    Step 1:

    Print or save these instructions locally now because you will have to be disconnected with no browsers open in the next step.

    Please make sure ALL Browser Windows are Closed and also you should physically disconnect from the Internet by unplugging your cable.

    Go to the L2MFix Folder on your Desktop and DoubleClick l2mfix.bat and type 2 and ENTER to select option #2 for Run Fix. Then, press any key to Reboot your machine.
    Your computer will go bazonkers (now there's a great technical term!) for a bit, but just let it run. It should eventually spit out another log in Notepad. Please attach that log later when the remaining steps are completed.

    Again, don't run any other files in the L2MFix folder.

    Step 2:

    Run "find.bat" from the Generic Detection Tool again!

    Okay after doing the above DO NOT REBOOT. Now reconnect to the internet and come back here and post and attach the find.bat log along with the L2MeFix Log.

    Okay! That cleaned up quite a bit. Now I just want to note something, your Windows OS and IE versions are way out of date and present a major security risk to you. When we finish the cleanup process you have to go to MS update and download the updates for your system.


    What are these next two lines for?
    C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya6.0\docs\Wrapper.exe
    C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya6.0\docs\jre\bin\java.exe


    Are you running MS Word at startup for some reason?
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE


    I forgot to ask for a new HJT log, so we will go from your previous one. Some of these items below may or may not be there anymore.

    Run HijackThis 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:
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 auto.search.msn.com
    O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 search.netscape.com
    O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 ieautosearch
    O16 - DPF: {3A7FE611-1994-4EF1-A09F-99456752289D} - http://install.wildtangent.com/ActiveLauncher/ActiveLauncher.cab
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: Shell Extensions - C:\WINDOWS\system32\o8nsli5718.dll
    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\vmss <--- the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsxsvc <--- the whole folder

    This next file I want you to rename to begin with.
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\r.dll ====> rename to r.ddd

    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. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

    Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST).

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

    I don't know what these two lines are for:

    C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya6.0\docs\Wrapper.exe
    C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya6.0\docs\jre\bin\java.exe


    They show up under the Processes tab in Task Manager. I do know that ever since my problems began, every time I shut down the computer I would get an error message talking about the "java.exe". Maya is a 3D Animation program that I use for school and work. Also, I do not have MS Word running at startup. If it is, then it's running in the background, but the Task Manager doesn't show it running.

    I will begin doing everything else you mentioned right now.
     
  20. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Okay but you know what Maya is! So they could just be part of it! Task Manager does not show all processes that run. This is a rather well known fact to most geeks. ;) If you want a good program to show processes, get ProcessExplorer from SysInternals.

    ProcessExplorer for Win NT/2K/XP

    One other thing, the OS on my computer was installed when I got it. I've had my doubts regarding whether or not it is completely legit. On a number of occasions I have attempted to go to microsoft's website and download SP2, but I have recieved messages saying that I couldn't. I believe the guy who loaded Windows used a borrowed copy and never bothered to mention it. I have no idea what I can do about it except just go with it until I'm ready to buy a new computer.

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Your log is clean! Try completing all the steps in the below link (especially for things you do not already have). The first is Windows Update. When you go there, do no select Express Install. Select Custom Install. Then install all except WinXP SP2. Let me know it that works.

    Thanks for everything, chaslang. I will try to update everything as best as I can.
     
  25. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    You're welcome. If you Win XP is not legit you should look into purchasing a valid copy as you cannot keep running with an outdated OS. It is simply not safe.
