    I have completed the 'Read and Run me' and have attached logs.

    I run Windows XP, Pro, 2nd service pack (I do not seem to be able to get 3rd service pack despite being prompted to)

    I believe initial problem may have started when old AV software became outdated in Sep this year. First I noticed was inability to link to many search results from google. System probably began to slow... Unbeknownst to me I was also blocked from receiving Windows updates, I do not know when from but prob Sep... I think read and run me may have remedied this now however and note that whilst running read and run me, windows was often downloading updates, although I tried to run stages between downloads.

    I was also blocked from receiving most AV online downloads - error message was to effect that I did not have an internet connection (I did) - I could only get Trend Micro, so that is what I currently have (90 day free trial)

    To my shame I installed Winiguard when directed there approx 2 weeks ago and things got worse! I now have the 2 pop ups although their frequency may have lessened but prior to running read and run me I had already 'uninstalled' it and removed certain related files and Registry entries.

    please help. thanks.

    Hi there

    We are currently reviewing your logs and will get back to you with a set of instructions as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience

    1) A new version of SUPERAntiSpyware is out that you should install
    • Please uninstall your current version (this is necessary).
    • Then download this SUPERAntiSpyware
    • Install this new version. It may tell you that you need to reboot to complete the installation. You must reboot at this time.
    • After the reboot, run SUPERAntiSpyware and immediately click the Check for Updates button to get more updates for the database.
    • Now run a new full scan of your system. And attach this first log later.
    • Since this infection has been reappearing after a reboot, you will have to reboot again and then run an additional scan to make sure it comes back clean. Attach this second log too



    2)

    3) Please Disable the Guest Account through User Accounts if this hasn't already been done so.

    4) If you do not use Windows Messenger 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.


    5) Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). 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:

    O2 - BHO: Microsoft Shadow Winter Deffender - {394D37C1-49F4-44A6-985C-1C83856D4903} - C:\Windows\system32\LinkSave.dll
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [C:\Windows\system32\baloon.exe] C:\Windows\system32\baloon.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [C:\Windows\system32\cfrog.exe] C:\Windows\system32\cfrog.exe
    O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-18\..\Run: [DWQueuedReporting] "C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\DW\dwtrig20.exe" -t (User 'SYSTEM')
    O4 - HKUS\.DEFAULT\..\Run: [DWQueuedReporting] "C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\DW\dwtrig20.exe" -t (User 'Default user') <---NOTE: this is NOT malware. It relates to Dr Watson which is a program error debugger for Windows, but there is no need for it to be running at start-up so include it in our fix.



    After clicking Fix exit HJT.



    6) Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

    • Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
    • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    • Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it
    (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    
    
    KILLALL::
    
    File::
    c:\windows\system32\LinkSave.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\LinkSave.Droper.exe
    C:\Windows\system32\rasha.exe
    C:\Windows\system32\baloon.exe
    C:\Windows\system32\cfrog.exe
    C:\Windows\System32\1ed.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\231part.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\240page.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\306base.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\323page.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\33f.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\502backup.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\718page.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\images465.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\keys726.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\keys822.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\threat606y.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\uninstall1c8.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\uninstall267.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\user598.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\user681.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\user839.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\wtl_dt314.dat
    C:\Windows\System32\wtl_dt473.dat
    
    
    Folder::
    c:\windows\system32\Service
    
    
    Registry::
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\~\Browser Helper Objects\{394D37C1-49F4-44A6-985C-1C83856D4903}]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "QuickTime Task"=-
    "baloon.exe"=-
    "cfrog.exe"=-
    
    
    
    
    
    • Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    • At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    • You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
    • Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

    • Follow the prompts.
    • When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
    • I will ask for this log below

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


    7) Also delete all files in the below folder(s) except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).


    8) Now Run Ccleaner!

    9) 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 Combofix

    Let us know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.
