Some viruses I can't get rid of

    After following the tutorial for eliminating spyware etc. and doing everything including secondary on-line scans etc. I then ran “Stinger” which still found 2 files that I could not eliminate either following the tutorial or the optional stuff either. These files always pop up when I ran “Stinger” before and they are called:

    “TrojanDropper.Win32.Small.gt” in a file …\Pictures\tcf.exe/wise0017.Bin and a second file in the same folder called “Backdoor.Rule dor.c” When I tried to delete manually I got an error saying file was protected or in use. This occurred when running in safe mode as well.

    The other persistent l’il bugger is “windows\systems32\calsp.exe I found this via HiJackThis and an on-line scan which identified 3 issues. The first two were a “SED.exe” and “findfast.exe.” Both I eliminated manually but the “calsp” I couldn’t delete in safe mode or normal mode and I used SpyBot again as directed still the file persists.

    I followed the tutorial for eliminating spyware, viruses etc. including working in safe mode etc. and it really worked I managed to eliminate 130+ issues with all of the software recommended. Thanks for the great Web site and I hope you can help me get rid of these last 3 files.

    By the way your web site is great and a “techno-phobe” like myself appreciates your tutorials

    Stinger was supposed to be run in the first step right after the onlines scans and while in safe mode.

    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. Close before running Hijack This!

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

    By the way, findfast.exe is part of MS Office.

    Thanks for the information. I will redo the tutorial agian but I'm sure I ran stinger at first then ran it again at the end to see if anything was left. I try again and if issues still persist I will post the log file. Thanks.

    OK. I re-ran the tutorial and did everything in the right order including running all secondary scans on-line in both “Safe Mode” and “Normal Mode.” I found 3 issues/viruses(?) via RAV AntiVirus.

     “Trojan Downloader.Win32.1stBar.fy” located in folder: ….Content.IE5\VOYOZ1KC\ysb_regular[1].cab/ysbactivex.dll
     Trojan: \pictures\tcf 1202.exe/WISE0017.BIN. All of the pictures in this folder were downloaded from a HP Digital Camera
     Trojan: \pictures\tcf 1202.exe/WISE0019.BIN. All of the pictures in this folder were downloaded from a HP Digital Camera

    Defender Pro has also found these 3 files previously but was unable to delete them and I would get a message “unable to disinfect object contained in non-disinfectable archive”

    For the 1202.exe related files I located them file using my explorer and then deleted them. Subsequent rescans showed these 2 files in the Recycle Bin. I restored the file back to where it was so I don’t lose it in case the “tcf1202.exe” is important.

    I have ran Hijack This and have attached a log file. I did go and get an on-line analysis, which stated I had 5 “Nasty’s”, 4 of which were the same files. The site was at http://hijackthis.de; The results of the analysis were as follows:

    1)C:\Program Files\SED\SED.exe. I searched for this on my computer but could not find it. I had deleted it previously although it showed up again in the analysis.
    2) 010-Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\calsp.dll. This one shows up four times in the analysis.

    I have also attached the RAV Antivirus log file as well.

    Bye for now

    First, a comment on you system. You are severely out of date and need to get you OS and IE updated. You should at a minimum get to WinXP SP1 and IE 6 SP1. Do that after we fix the current problems.

    calsp.dll - This is from CouponAge malware

    Please post HJT logs as text file attachments not .doc files. We now accept .log files for direct upload.

    Download LSP-Fix from here first: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4180.html
    And run it. Check the "I know what I am doing" box Click on problem dll on the left window (in your case that dll is calsp.dll) and click on the arrow pointing to the right. Click Finish and follow the prompts.

    Make sure you have system restore disabled and viewing of hidden files enabled (per the tutorial).

    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:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SESync] "C:\Program Files\SED\SED.exe"
    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - (no file)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Sun Java Console - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - (no file)
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\Program Files\SED <---- the whole directory
    c:\windows\system32\calsp.dll
    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

    OK I did what you asked. I updated the SP1 files for internet explorer and XP. The IE6 installed but the XP SP1 didn't and stated "expected version of file not found." I had installed XP SP1 before and maybe that is why.

    I also followed your further instructions and have posted the new HJT log files. I did try to save it as both a log file and text file and hopefully I did both correctly and you can view them. If I screwed up sorry abou that but thanks for your patience

    Everything seems to be running fine but I could not find the C:\Programs\SED directory. Again though, I had deleted this previously. Could it be hidden somewhere else and that is why it keeps showing up in the log files? If not you have seemed to fix a number of probelms and for that I am thankful. You have a great site.

    You're welcome. You log looks better. The below two items can be fixed too but they are not a big problem:

    O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

    You still do not have the SP1 update. Try using this link for sp1a
