Please help with Malware removal

Hello. I've already run the steps in the "READ & RUN ME FIRST" guide and pop-ups have temporarily stopped, but I would like you to view my scan and HiJack This logs to make sure everything has been deleted. This post contains my bdscan, activescan, and counterspy scan logs. I will post a reply with the getrunkey, shownew, and hijack this logs. Thanks.

 

Here are the GetRunKey, ShowNew, and HiJack This logs. Thanks again.

 

I also ran the recommended VundoFix by Atribune. It found 1 file. The resulting log and a new HJT log is attached.

 

Welcome to MG's!

Let's start by running ComboFix. This is a utility that removes a lot of junk in one scan.

1. Download this file - combofix.exe
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Attach this log to your next reply

Note:

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

Once you have completed the scan above, attach fresh logs from the below.

• ShowNew
• GetRunKey
• HijackThis
• ComoboFix

 

Thanks for the help. Attached are the requested logs. I will post the new HJT log in a new reply

 

HJT log.

 

Did you install these:

Or was it already on the PC. It can be a massive waste of bandwidth and I highly recommend that it be removed. Let me know what you want to do with this. It appears in Add/Remove programs as 4oD. Uninstall it if you did not install this yourself.

 

I did not see "4oD" in the add/remove programs. I don't recall installing it, what exactly does it do?

Thanks

 

Kontiki is (P2P) file distribution technology used to deliver large media files. It is an application that is integrated with the Sky by broadband application to deliver video files securely and efficiently.

1. Be sure you close any programs before you begin.
2. Download and save KClean.exe to your Desktop.
3. Locate and double-click KClean.exe
4. You will see a security warning message - Click 'RUN'
5. KClean.exe now opens, displaying several options
6. Click 'SELECT ALL' for KDM Options, KDX Options, and KService Options, so that all of the options in these 3 categories are ticked
7. Click 'OK'
8. A warning message appears asking if you wish to continue - click 'YES'
9. Wait a few moments while the components are being removed
10. A confirmation message appears, stating that KClean completed successfully - click 'OK'
11. In a few cases, KClean.exe cannot complete its actions, and you will see an error message
12. If this happens, restart your PC, then repeat steps 1-10 until KClean has completed successfully.

Once you complete the above, attach fresh logs from the below.

• GetRunKey
• ShowNew
• HijackThis

 

Ok, here are the new logs. The KClean ran without any problems. Thanks.

 

First, please disable any antivirus and/or antispy programs you have installed so they will not block this fix.

Step 1:
Please look in Add/Remove Programs for the following and uninstall if found. If you get any errors just make a note and proceed.

Step 2:
Now scan with HijackThis and check the boxes for the following entries:
( Make sure ALL browser windows are closed when you click FIX )

Again, make sure ALL browser windows are closed when you click FIX.

Step 3:
Copy the contents of the below Quote Box to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file fixme.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.) Then double-click on the fixme.reg file on your desktop (or locate it with Windows Explorer and double click on it if not saved to the Desktop) and when it prompts to Add in to the registry, say yes.

Step 4:
Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.

• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
• Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
• Check the 'Input script manually' box.
• Click on the magnifying glass icon.
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it in the box that opens:

• Now click the 'Done' button.
• Click on the traffic light icon and OK the prompt.
• You will be prompted to restart, OK the prompt and your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt

Step 5: Begin here after rebooting from Step 4!
Next Reset Web Settings & Default Security Settings

Note for IE 6 users:
To Reset Web Settings:
Right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK

To Default Security Settings:
Right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Security Tab and click Default Level for Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted Sites, and Restricted Sites. For IE 7 users, simply click the "Reset all zones to default level" button.

Note for IE 7 users:
Select Internet Options, then the Advanced Tab and then the Reset button under Reset Internet Explorer Settings.


Step 6:
Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune. This program does not require an installation. The executable actually runs the program.

NOTE: This program is for Windows XP and Windows 2000 only. ATF Cleaner will remove all files from the items that are checked so if you have some cookies you'd like to save. Please move them to a different directory first.

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
• Under Main choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser

• Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.
  • NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser

• Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.
  • NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main ATF Cleaner menu to close the program.

Step 7:
Finally, I would like you to install the current version of Sun Java: Sun Java Runtime Environment

Step 8:
After you have completed ALL of the above in the correct order, please attach the following logs.

• HijackThis Log
• ShowNew Log
• GetRunKey Log
• Avenger Log

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

 

Attached are the updated logs. HJT log will be posted in next message. Thanks for the help.
