Persistent TIB Dialer problem

    I'm running windows xp and I've downloaded all the recommended software for removing and protecting against spyware but TIB dialer keeps coming back 15-30 minutes after removal.

    I'm trying to follow the instructions in the basic thread but I'm having trouble with this:

    b) And Windows XP, 2000, NT, ME, users boot in "safe mode with networking support" (and remain in there). See how to boot in safe mode below.
    do an online scan at Trend Micro's Free Online Virus Scan
    do an online scan at Symantec Security Check
    run McAfee AVERT Stinger


    When I'm on safe mode with networking support I can't go online and do the online scans because I'm not on a network or LAN connection I connect directly to the ISP.

    I hope you guys can help me, thanks.

    Do those scans in normal boot mode then continue with the rest of the steps in safe mode. Then let us know if you still have problems.

    I've successfully run Symantec's Security Check on normal mode, used Spybot, AdAware, CWShredder, CClean, etc on safe mode reverted to normal mode and then turned on System Restore once again. But an executable called inst.exe still keeps coming back and re-installing TIB dialer after some time passes.

    I'm trying to finish downloading TrendMicro's update engine and pattern file in the hopes that TIB won't interrupt me.

    Anyhow I noticed that yesterday I was able to stay online for about a couple of hours problem-free (which is longer than usual w/ TIB) when I had System Restore turned off. When I turned it back on, TIB started coming back again.

    You need to leave system restore disable until all problems are resolved. You need to wait a day or after fixing all problems to be sure they are truely resolved and do not come back.

    You should read the tutorial in this Sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    Now post a HijackThis as a .txt file attachment to your message. All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail, items in the tray, anything you can close... Close before running Hijack This!

    Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder or choose run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

    I finished running TrendMicro's scan and it didn't find anything. I downloaded and ran HijackThis right after and I'm attaching my logfile.

    TIB doesn't seem to come back as long as my system restore is off.

    not bad Jarcher.

    the 09's aren't "bad" per say, but are probably ok to remove


    Boot to safe mode and go to start.. run.. type

    REGSVR32.EXE /u MADOPEW.DLL

    Hit ok to any prompt. If you get an error, that's fine.

    then here's a list that should be removed in HJT.

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:NavigationFailure
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:NavigationFailure
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:NavigationFailure
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:NavigationFailure
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:NavigationFailure
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:NavigationFailure
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {ADA406F7-A185-4DDB-A3AC-A84D69F466B8} - C:\WINDOWS\madopew.dll (file missing)

    I've removed the listed files via HJT, run all the spyware detection/prevention/clean-up programs listed in the basic thread and am about to enable System Restore once again.

    So far I've been able to stay online without problems, I even went as far as to play Ragnarok Online for a couple of hours. Hopefully it stays that way when I enable System Restore. The last time TIB came back after I enabled System Restore but at that time I didn't run HJT.

    Thanks to y'all!

    Sounds good! Let us know if there are anymore problems.

    Bad News: As soon as I enabled System Restore, TIB dialer came back within 5-10 mins. When System Restore is disabled, my PC is left in peace. :rolleyes:

    It's such a strange problem..

    Disable system restore and post a fresh HJT log. But I would think it is related to some software that you ran.

    Okay, disabled System Restore and ran HJT again.

    What's more, as soon as TIB came back, my brower was also invaded by all sorts of hijackers shortly after. When I have System Restore off I am able to stay online completely undisturbed. I also got some sort of bug which insists that I use "http://" every time I go anywhere, I can't just type the url directly without the "http://" prefix.

    You need to go to windows update and get the updates for your PC. This is a big part of your problem. Your WinXP and Internet Explorer are seriously out of date. You have:

    Platform: Windows XP (WinNT 5.01.2600)
    MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 (6.00.2600.0000)


    Go here and get your updates do all but Win XP SP2. Do not upgrade to SP2 while having any problems.

    Windows Update: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp



    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:

    Have you used SpyBot's Immunize feature as requested?
    Have you install SpywareBlaster?

    Leave system restore disable for now. I don't understand the exact logic behind why you get infected after you re-enable system restore. Disabling it should have delete all old restore points with any baddies in them.

    I'll DL the Windows and Explorer updates now, and yes I did use Spybot's Immunize feature and I also have SpywareBlaster installed. Thanks.

    If not, fix them and show me a new HijackThis log.

    By the way, did you reboot after you disabled system restore?

    I've downloaded Microsoft Service Pack 1 and some other updates, ran HJT again, and attached the latest HJT logfile. System Restore is still disabled. I also fixed the ff:

    Your log looks clean! Anymore problems with TIB? If not and if you have performed a couple of reboots and ran a few IE sessions, it may be time to enable system restore. We could be done!

    TIB hasn't re-appeared so far, I'll be enabling System Restore now. Hopefully it won't come back. Thanks!
