.Net issue on XP

Currently reviewing your logs. Will post back with a response ASAP.

 

Is this a business machine? If so I will work with you as long as you consider the following risks:

Our practice of removing malware from business computers has these considerations:

• Business companies' policies pertaining to proprietary information found on their machines
• Possibilities of being party to breaching a company's "Code Of Conduct"
• Financial and/or legal liabilities - if while cleaning a business machine, it crashes; resulting in loss of company information or worse - client information

What is this??

• c:\program files\BPP2003STANDARD.exe

Please go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following software:

• Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03
• Java(TM) 6 Update 15
• Java(TM) 6 Update 2
• Java(TM) 6 Update 3
• Java(TM) 6 Update 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:

After clicking Fix exit HJT.

Now we need to use ComboFix

• 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.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:

Code:

KILLALL::

• 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.

Now reboot your machine and install the most current and up to date version of Java available here at the below link:

Java Runtime 6

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.

Let us know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions.

 

It appears you did not run my combofix script. Do it again following the instructions carefully. Do not simply double click combofix.exe, slide the CFScript.txt over the top of the combofix icon as requested, and then:

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.

 

You must keep the 6.21 version installed, do not try to uninstall it as you obviously depend of using java for some applications and web activity. I still see 6.2, 6.3 and 6.5 installed which you could uninstall another way if not through the traditional method, but we that is something that we can do later if you remind me.

Hmm I believe this may not be related to malware, and that you will have to work this out in the software forum if errors persist.

let's finish off here:

Do not install anything unless I ask you to at this point, and refrain from making any system changes.

Now you failed to address my question:

delete the below as it is not needed now and is not where it should have been downloaded in the first place

Do not re-enable until we are finished.

Now we need to use ComboFix

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!

How are things running now?

 

That's better.

Now you can follow final steps:

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

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop 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\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
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. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
   related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

Topic to further discuss in the software forum

 

Alright then, I need you to start a new thread so that there is no confusion. You can link back to this old thread, for reference.

You ran a full scan with what exactly? When you say you ran one with mal-ware I take it you mean Malware Bytes?

Well, move onto the next step which would be SUPERantispyware (have it do a full scan on all drives), RootRepeal, Combofix and MGTools.

Attach what logs you do have and note down any errors that may have occurred. I will try to be the one to take on your new thread but if someone else comes along and answers you, then work with them as they will help you too. I have a very busy night at work tonight and then up early on sunday morning so I cannot do a whole lot until sunday evening.

 

Marus I did state in my last post that it would be better for you to start a fresh thread and to not piggy back off this one. However, we will continue. Attach the remaining log that I need, the most important one: C:\Mglogs.zip
