Please Help Me Save My PC!!!

There is no specific time frame. It depends on how busy things are and how many of us are around to help out. For the last 3 months, the forums are extremely busy and there are only a couple of us posting regularly.

This last post you made cost you more than a day of additional waiting time since you lost your place in the queue. This explained in theDon't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!! sticky thread.


You need to try and do as much of the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide sticky thread as possible and you need to explain what runs and what does not run and give us any error messages. Our ability to help you is limited by you ability to help us help you. If you could run HijackThis, there are other steps in those instructions that you can follow. You should probably be able to run the MGtools procedure that was requested. I assume you ran HijackThis via the Task Manager. You should be able to do the same to get access to other programs to copy files to your PC. If you cannot do this, I will give you something to try below but odds are that it will not work since HijackThis cannot normally fix most of the problems related to Vundo and SmitFraud because much of what the infection has done does not appear in a HijackThis log.

Try the below to get started.


Run 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: 0 - {6643C30F-D94D-4855-DD9E-E61CA4B582B7} - C:\Program Files\ComPlus Applications\lavuqaf.dll (file missing)

O20 - Winlogon Notify: ssqnmmk - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ssqnmmk.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: taevhccp - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\taevhccp.dll

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
Now reboot again into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete the below files:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\gugwfppi.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipmon.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\qttdncy.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rgwwehgg.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ssqnmmk.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\taevhccp.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtstr.dll

You may have problems finding or deleting some of the above. This is why the READ & RUN ME and being able to run other steps and download other tools is important.
At anyrate after attempting to delete the above files and no mattter what you find or get deleted, see if you can boot in normal mode.
If you can boot normally, get started on all steps of the READ & RUN ME immediately.

 

The below does not belong on your Desktop. See the READ ME. It should be C:\MGtools.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Drukore\Desktop\MGtools.exe

However ComboFix.exe MUST be on your Desktop and you did not save it there. You must do this now or you will not be able to do the following steps.

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:

O2 - BHO: 0 - {6643C30F-D94D-4855-DD9E-E61CA4B582B7} - C:\Program Files\ComPlus Applications\lavuqaf.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\jusched.exe"
O20 - Winlogon Notify: efcyvur - C:\WINDOWS\
O20 - Winlogon Notify: mllmj - C:\WINDOWS\
O20 - Winlogon Notify: pmnno - C:\WINDOWS\
O20 - Winlogon Notify: scom - C:\WINDOWS\

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

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:

Driver::
mff
hvpyxiwx
iutbuvhw
 
File::
C:\vqrcgfml.txt
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\mff.sys
C:\Program Files\kqxirdft.txt
C:\Program Files\analyse.exe.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\Drukore\LOCALS~1\Temp\~DPC3.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1321A260DA.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\E8DB5BBB53.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\hvpyxiwx.sys
 
Folder::
C:\TrustedAntivirus
C:\WINDOWS\system32\comg9
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ets1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nGpxx01
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nip4
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wnis6
C:\temp\tn3
C:\Program Files\Web Buying
 
Registry::
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run-]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run-]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\efcyvur]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\mllmj]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\pmnno]

• 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.


After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java
Runtime Environment

Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it.

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.

Spyware Terminator is okay. It is even one of the tools in the link I will give you below on How to protect yourself. This link will give you a whole bunch of recommended things to do and use. Personally I would not have installed the Crawler Toolbar with Web Security Guard with Spyware Terminator. You could uninstall the Toolbar unless you happen to like it.

Your logs are clean.


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

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
   • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
2. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN
   • Now type combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
   • Note: The space between the X and the /U, it must be there.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
4. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
5. 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.
6. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
7. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
8. If we had you run RenV.exe, you can delete it and the Log.txt file on your Desktop.
9. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
10. 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.
11. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
12. 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.
13. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
