    Grissoft AVG and Adaware shows that I have TrojanDownloader.Dyfica.2.AB but I can't delete it. I can't run Windows Explorer from the infected computer, so I am sending this from another computer. (I am running Windows XP Home Edition on the infected computer.)

    Can you download programs to it some how? If so, follow the cleanup procedures given below. Have you run your current scanners while you are in safe mode?

    Here the cleanup procedures:

    To help us to best help you, please follow the steps below closely and in the order given and do not skip anything. If you have any difficulty, please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything along with details about any problems you may have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better. Don't be afraid to ask for additional help if you don't understand something!

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus RemovalMake sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    boot into safe mode and run your cleaners.

    pestpatrol will clean dyfuca, but I'm not sure how many others will too...

    Here is a link to removal instructions from eTrust (Computer Associates):

    While I appreciate the fact that you are trying to help, I have already given instructions on what needs to be done. Did you read the instructions I already gave below? Your first step is already mention and we have more complete cleaning processes than what is mentioned in the PestPatrol link. Also many people cannot follow the vague instructions that are given at that website and require more specific directions. In addition registry editing is required which most people should not be doing without guidance and without first doing a registry backup.

    This is not a fly by forum where you post and leave. If you would like to help users, you need to be here all the time so you can follow up on the help you suggest.

    I tried to follow the instructions for "Read me first before asking questions.." I had the following problems:
    I couldn't install the patch for Spybot DSO Exploit Fix. It said that it couldn't find majorgeeks.com/dowoadget.php?.
    From safe mode, I could run Trend Micro's Free Online Virus Scan. It froze on me and then when I tried to go back it the website was not available. Also, Symantec Security Check also did not complete the scan. I also couldn't run the AD-ware VX2 Cleaner Plug-in. I ran the other spyware scan & removal. Some bad files were found and removed.
    When I rebooted. I tried to run AD-Aware SE but it froze in the process. I then rebooted and ran hi-jackThis. The log file is attached.

    The link works just fine for me. Try it again right now.

    You have HijackThis running from the ZIP file. Please read my instructions again.

    You also have more then AV package installed. You must run only one. You should remove the remaining Norton items.

    After correct the problem with how you have HijackThis running, continue with the below. You need to resolve that first or you will not get any backups of what we are fixing. You must extract HijackThis from the ZIP file and put the executable in the folder requested (you need to create the folder).

    You will need to download LSP - Fix and follow the directions given below

    NOW: Unzip it and run LSP-Fix.

    Check the Box labeled "I know what I'm doing" and then click on the newdotnet6_38.dll file (in the “Keep” section) to select it.

    Then, Select the >> button to move newdotnet6_38.dll into the Remove section.

    Now, click the Finish Button. When the Repair Summary box appears, click OK.

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
    C:\Program Files\f1qwlylm\f1qwlylm.exe
    C:\windows\system32\bukigp.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\S-1-5-18\8b5e9cdb91dddbb342695fbdc36fe0e4\update\update.exe

    After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
    Then please click "Scan" 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:

    We did everything. When we went to delete the file in safe mode, there were some that were missing. Is that OK? Also, we found two files, but not with the exe -- they were windows\system32\bukigp and windows\enhupdt. We left them there because they were not exe file. SHould we go back and delete them.

    Attached is the new hjt log.

    My system still seems a little slow.

    OK! We are looking a little better but you still have more of the baddies. Yes those to files without the EXE extension should have been deleted. If you see any of them that match the first part of the file names this time but extensions do not match, just deleted them. Next time report exactly which files you find and which you do not find (likewise whether they delete or not).

    Had you tried to perform any Microsoft Software updates that have failed or never completed. I'm still thinking about the below line:

    C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\S-1-5-18\3a2852b3cc195eed36c025ea7a0f6110\update\update.exe

    You still need to remove the remaining Norton AV items from your PC (part of the reason for it being slow). You must not have more than one AV package installed. Look in Add/Remove programs for an uninstall to Norton or Symantec's AV and uninstall it. Let me know if you cannot find on or it will not uninstall. All of the following items from your log are from Norton. If you decide you want to keep Norton, you must uninstall AVG instead.
    C:\Program Files\NavNT\defwatch.exe
    C:\Program Files\NavNT\rtvscan.exe
    C:\Program Files\NavNT\vptray.exe

    O23 - Service: SymWMI Service (SymWSC) - Symantec Corporation - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Security Center\SymWSC.exe

    Do you use Viewpoint or Viewpoint Manager? (Crap that AOL sneaks in and 95% of all people do not use it or even know it's there.) If not, uninstall it too.

    Are you running C:\windows\system32\calc.exe o r is it running on its own?

    Have you been runnning KaZaA ? If so, you must stop using it and uninstall anything related to it.

    After taken care of items from my previous message and answering any questions, continue with the below procedure.

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look
    for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
    C:\windows\system32\bukigp.exe
    C:\windows\system32\calc.exe

    After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
    Then please click "Scan" and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right

    If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file. You must tell me which exactly which file you cannot find or delete (if any). All of these files are there and should be locatable with viewing of hidden files enabled.

    Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST).

    Now we need to Reset Web Settings:
    1) If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.

    I tried everthing that you said, but some things didn't work. I could not find the file: windows\system32\calc.exe. when I ran Hijack This to Kill Processes.

    In safe mode, I found a file named: enhtb without the exe extention, so I deleted it.

    The enhupdt file under the directory that you mentioned did not have the exe extension, but I deleted it anyways. I also found this file with the exe extension under Windows\Prefetch so I also deleted it.

    The bukigp file under the directory that you mentioned did not have the exe extension. I tried to delete it but it said acces was denied. I also found the file with the exe extension under Windows\Prefetch so I deleted it.

    I can't find the KaZaa folder. When I search for Kazaa, it said there was a Kazaa file under Documents & Settings for Julie & Mike: e.g. Julie@desktop.Kazaa(1).tvt. I didn't do anything with it though.

    I tried to delete the c:program Files\NavNT\dewatch , rtvscan, vptray but it said access was denied--make sure disk is not full or write protected and that file is not in use. I wasn't sure where to find the two O4 files and the three O23 files that are related to Symantec, so I didn't delete any of those files.

    I also don't know what Viewpoint or Viewpoint manager is or where to find in on my computer.

    Finally, I don't remember about any MicroSoft updates that failed. With the way my system has been running, it certainly could have happened.

    How should I proceed from here?

    It sounds to me like you did not properly use the steps to enable viewing of hidden files. One of the steps there is to also make sure you do not have a check on the option to "Hide extension for known file types". I think you are hiding extensions. You need to set that option properly.


    I did not ask you do delete the Norton items! What I said was to uninstall them. You need to open Control Panel and select Add/Remove programs and uninstall the Norton/Symantec AV stuff.

    The Viewpoint program path shows right in your HJT log. I also ask you to uninstall it if you do not use it. The first method to remove applications is to alway look for an uninstall. Viewpoint has an uninstall. So you should use it.

    I don't understand why you say calc.exe does not appear in you log. It shows up everytime. In fact it is in you last log too. It is a valid Windows program but it normally does not load at startup.

    Apparently you are not delete the files properly and need to make sure you have properly enabled viewing of hidden files and folders (read those steps carefully from the READ ME). I'll repeat the steps here for you. Double check that each is set properly:

    - Click Start.
    - Select Explore.
    - Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    - Select the View Tab.
    - Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
    - Uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types option.
    - Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    - Click Apply.
    - Click OK.

    You still have the bad programs on your PC which means you have not been deleting them. Either that or something on your system is blocking the repairs.

    Are you sure you are fixing lines in HJT and that you are deleting the files?
    Please uninstall Microsoft Antispyware using Add/Remove programs. I worried that it may be preventing some fixes. Either that is the case or you may have an infection in your Explorer.exe shell.

    Make sure you have taken care of all the above! And truly have enabled viewing of hidden files and EXTENSIONS properly. Then continue with the below.

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side.

    You were right; I had to go back and change so that files and extensions were not hidden. But I am still having problems removing programs. For Example, If I go under Programs, I see Norton AntiVirus. When I go to Control panel and Add/Remove, there is no norton. I do see however, Live Reg (Symantec Corporation) (file size=1.98MB). Is this the same thing?

    Also, If I go to My Computer and look in the Program directory, I see a folder for Viewpoint. When I go to Control panel and Add/Remove, Viewpoint does not show up.

    When I go to Control panel and Add/Remove and try to remove KaZaa, it says error loading c:windows\Windows32\cd_clint.dll.

    What does all of this mean? How can I delete these programs?

    I wanted to take care of some of this before I run Hijack This.

    First check under other user accounts to see if the software was installed in another user account. Boot to each user account and look in Add/Remove programs for Norton or Symantec and uninstall if found. As far as Live Update. If you have no other Norton programs accept the antivirus application we are trying to remove then uninstall Live Update.

    Try giving the below tools a run:
    Kazaa Spyware Removal
    KazaaBegone

    If you still cannot get all the above uninstalled, we will have to do it manually.

    I have been trying, with no success, to get rid of Norton AntiVirus. I went into each user id, but I could not remove it, since it never showed up under the Add/remove function. The package that I have is a Corporate edition, and I am trying to get in contact with the person that installed it. Do you know why I am having so much trouble removing it?

    The KazaaBegone programs seemed to work.

    I went through the other procedures that you told me. When I tried to kill the bukigp and calc exe files, they did not seems to go away. They would still be included lwith the other files listed after "Open process manager".

    Deleting the dlmax, farmmext, and bukigp in safe mode seemed to work.

    I have a attached a new HJT log. It still seems quite lengthy.

    Have we made any progress?

    RE: Norton..My son's friend installed it; I didn't really ask him to do it. He was just trying to be helpful. I think I need an installation disk to uninstall it. I am trying to get one.

    I followed your instructions the best I could. While running Open Process Mgr In SAfe Mode, I could not find the defwatch.exe or rtvscan.exe. When I went back to scan, nothing happened. So I closed HJT and then went back into it. I deleted the items that you said, except I could not find the first two lines that started with R1 - HKCU....

    When I went to Windows Explorer, I found systb without the .dll and I deleted it. I found wupdt without the exe and I deleted it. I could not find the cem.dll.

    After emptying the Recycle Bin, I deleted the entire folder of c:\windows\Prefetch. I did not go back to empty the Recycle Bin again. Should I do that?

    I ran CCleaner; reset the web settings. Here is the new HJT log.

    It sounds to me like you did not enable viewing of hidden files properly as per the tutorial. You negelected to uncheck the option that says Hide extensions for known file types.

    Also the R1 lines that I asked you to fix and you said you could not find are still in your HJT log. You must fix all three:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://websearch.drsnsrch.com/sidesearch.cgi?id=
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://websearch.drsnsrch.com/sidesearch.cgi?id=
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = websearch.drsnsrch.com/q.cgi?q=

    Perhaps they just did not show in safe mode boot.

    Do you use this below program:
    C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe

    It is stuff the AOL installs without asking you. Most people do not use it, know what it is for, or even know it is there. If you don't use it, you should uninstall it using Add/Remove programs. It is a waste of system resources.

    I was recruited to help out with this machine. I am the Sysadmin where Jane A works, and I thought this might be a good learning experience.

    I first booted in safe mode, logged in as administrator, and created a new user for myself with administrator rights. I also updated the virus defs for AVG and ran it. It found a variety of problems, including the Downloader.Dyfica.2.AC and AB viruses. I cleaned out the Temporary Internet files and cleaned out the temp directory.

    I then ran Spybot, S&D. There were 162 items found that I had Spybot try to eliminate, including:
    Cool WWW Search
    DyFuca
    FunWebProducts
    Huntbar
    My Search
    New.net
    Viewpoint
    Wishbone
    ABetterInternet
    DownloadWare

    Most, but not all items were removed. Next I ran Hijack This, and got rid of a few more suspicious items, such as
    mqqbvzwh.dll

    and any items that appeared in previous posts in this thread.

    Next, I logged out and repeated the process for every user on the machine. To my surprise, there were viruses and Spybot issues on each user that were not seen from the administrator login.

    Finally, I did some registry editing while logged in under the new user I had created. I manually deleted the files and keys that Spybot was unable to (still do not know why.)

    Things seem pretty clean now. I will attach a HJT log once I figure out how.

    Here is the latest HJT log file. I will check back to see if anyone sees something sinister that I missed.

    Thanks!

    That log is clean now.

    As far as your comment

    That is why we always tell people that each user account must be checked. Each user has there own registry entries and different items can load for each.
