Welcome to Majorgeeks!

I guess you did not read this sticky! Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!! This last post cost you another day in the queue.

If you ever have to attach a log from Bitdefender again, please follow the directions to attach the properly formatted log. You are supposed to give us the HTML file but just rename it to have a .txt extension.


Uninstall the below old versions of software:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6

Now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment


Your Windows OS version is way out of data and represents and MAJOR security risk and is also the main reason for your current infection. You MUST get updated after we remove your malware problems.

Let's continue by downloading a tools we will need - Pocket KillBox

Save it to its own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate it later.

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:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = :0
O3 - Toolbar: ImageShack Toolbar - {6932D140-ABC4-4073-A44C-D4A541665E35} - C:\WINDOWS\ImageShackToolbar\ImageShackToolbar.dll
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Now run Pocket Killbox by doubleclicking on killbox.exe
Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files.
Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.
NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue.

Select:

• Delete on Reboot
• then Click on the All Files button.
• Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temp\object1.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temp\object2.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\78J6HPHC\clip2[1].exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\78J6HPHC\popup[1].htm
C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\78J6HPHC\popup[1].php
C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\H8BHAFKO\clip1[1].exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\H8BHAFKO\clip2[1].exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\JEUKN4KG\clip1[1].exe
C:\WINDOWS\system\svchost32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system\svhost.exe

• Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
• Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt.

If you receive a PendingFileRenameOperations prompt, just click OK to continue (But please let me know if you receive this message!).
If Killbox does not reboot just reboot your PC yourself.

Also delete all files and subfolders in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
C:\WINDOWS\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp

Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

1. GetRunKey
2. ShowNew
3. HJT

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!
Reminder Note: Once we have determined you are malware free you will need to disable System Restore, reboot, and re-enable system restore per step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. This only applies to if using WinXP or WinMe.

 

This is all happening because your OS is so out of date and because your PC is not properly protected. Don't run anything from now on accept what I request. And don't do any other surfing or use things like Yahoo or other messengers until I say we are done! In fact for now I recommend uninstall your Yahoo Messenger.

Now download and install this firewall: ZoneAlarmFree

I now will need new logs from GetRunKey, ShowNew and CounterSpy (run a new scan with CounterSpy and fix what it finds).

 

First we need to cleanup some left over items from you having Symantec installed at one time.

Uninstall these:
Norton WMI Update
Symantec Network Drivers Update

Now attach a new HJT log so I can check to see if the Symantec Service were removed.

 

Are you saying you don't use and don't want the below? If so, uninstall any that you do not want.
Google Earth
Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer
ImageShack Toolbar for Internet Explorer

• Click on Start, then Run ... type services.msc into the box that opens up, and press 'OK'.
• On the page that opens, scroll down to Symantec Network Drivers Service
• then right click the entry, select Properties and press Stop Service.
• When it shows that it is stopped, next please set the Start-up Type to 'Disabled'.
• Click OK until you get back to Windows.

• Next, run HJT, but instead of scanning, click on the None of the above, just start the program button at the bottom of the choices.
• At the lower right, click on the Config button
• Then click the Misc tools button
• Select Delete an NT Service
• Copy/pasteSNDSrvc into the box that opens, and press OK
• If you receive any error messages just ignore them and continue.
• Now exit HJT and reboot when it tells you it needs to.

After reboot install this: AVG Free Edition

Now attach new logs from HJT and ShowNew.

 

Not according to your logs! Steps must always be followed in the order written.

Can this Symantec Network Drivers Update be uninstalled? If not, use the below to uninstall it:

Your Uninstaller! 2006



Your log is 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 you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
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 VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
7. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

Did you use Your Uninstaller! 2006 to uninstall the Symantec stuff yet? If does not look like it. You don't need Your Uninstaller once Symantec is uninstalled. Most everything else is mentioned in message # 14.

Also you seem to have messed up ShowNew. You need to extract all the files again into the folder. Once you start the cleanup I gave you in message # 14 you cannot start posting new logs since you will have deleted files necessary to run ShowNew and GetRunKey.
