    Hi,

    I recently aquired this annoying virus, im not sure how i got it, but i cant seem to get rid of it. I've tried reading other threads and have gone through the steps, but had no luck, although the blue screen of death has gone.
    The main problems im still having is popups, and i cant change my homepage settings, it keeps taking me to a porn dialer page.
    I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

    Here is my hjt log

    Thanks

    Please read the announcement and sticky threads. HJT logs should only be posted when requested and then they must be attachments to your message. You also must install HJT properly. You are running it from the ZIP file using WinRAR. Please run the steps below.

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    Make 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.
    Also to get you started and to reduce the size of your HJT log. Do the following:

    Also look in Add/Remove programs for P2P Networking and uninstall if found. Also uninstall anything related to Kazaa.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem, boot into normal mode and make sure you follow these directions:


    - 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).

    After doing the above we will be able to work up a procedure to repair the Smitfraud problem.

    Hi,

    Sorry about that, I saw all the hjt logs on other peoples threads and thought it was ok to send them.

    I have read, 'DO NOT POST UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THIS: How to: Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal' and have completed all the steps, but im still having the same problems. I'll run you through what I found:

    Checked 'services.msc', but couldn't find the listed services

    Trend Micro: Got this message - House call has found and cleaned a malware.PE_PARITE.A clean failed: TROJ_BLAZEFIND.A

    Norton Scan: Did not load properly, waited 30 mins without anything changing.

    McAfee Stinger: Nothing found

    AdAwareSE: Found 98 critical objects, all removed after next startup

    Spybot: HotSearchbar removed

    CwShreader: Nothing found

    Kill2me: Nothing found

    About:buster: Nothing found

    HSRemove: 8 items removed


    Thankyou for all your help so far

    You have a few problems that we need to address. This may take a few sets of messages.

    Fisrt, download Nail/Bolder/Aurora Remover 0.3.1 Beta and save it to its own folder like c:\ABIremover

    - Now extract the abiremover.exe file from the ZIP file into the folder you created but do not run the EXE yet.

    - Reboot into Safe Mode with no network suppost and do not run anything else but what I tell you to run!

    - Run the ABIRemover.exe, press install, wait (explorer window will disapear)

    - When it finishes just reboot into normal mode and continue with my next message.

    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).

    Open Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs look for the below programs and uninstall them if found:
    Search Maid
    Security IGuard
    Virtual Maid

    Now exit Add/Remove Programs.


    Some of the items mentioned in the below steps may or may not be there. If not found just ignore them and continue. These problems come in a variety of forms and different filenames can be used each time.

    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\popcorn64.exe
    c:\windows\system32\vjdzpn.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:
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = C:\WINDOWS\System32\msblank.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://hsremove.com/done.htm
    O2 - BHO: BHOmodObj Class - {7F6828CA-9E42-462C-BC60-418C8144012C} - c:\windows\system\BHOmod.dll
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Hot_nz] C:\Program Files\GMSoft\Dialers\Hot_nz\Hot_nz.exe /dontdial
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ControlPanel] C:\WINDOWS\System32\popcorn64.exe rundll.dll,LoadMouseProfile

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [xcsrnuz] c:\windows\system32\vjdzpn.exe
    O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe
    I recommend not using this PartyPoker stuff but it is up to you.
    O9 - Extra button: PartyPoker.com - {B7FE5D70-9AA2-40F1-9C6B-12A255F085E1} - C:\Program Files\PartyPoker\PartyPoker.exe
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: PartyPoker.com - {B7FE5D70-9AA2-40F1-9C6B-12A255F085E1} - C:\Program Files\PartyPoker\PartyPoker.exe

    O9 - Extra button: Microsoft AntiSpyware helper - {F47BE04B-AABE-437D-A916-83A626A8ADB8} - (no file) (HKCU)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Microsoft AntiSpyware helper - {F47BE04B-AABE-437D-A916-83A626A8ADB8} - (no file) (HKCU)
    O23 - Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:

    C:\WINDOWS\System32\popcorn64.exe
    c:\windows\system32\vjdzpn.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\msmsgs.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\shnlog.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\intmonp.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\intmon.exe
    C:\Windows\System32\helper.exe
    C:\Windows\System32\ole32vbs.exe
    C:\Windows\system32\msole32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp9980.tmp
    C:\wp.exe
    C:\wp.bmp
    C:\bsw.exe
    C:\Windows\sites.ini
    C:\Windows\popuper.exe
    C:\Program Files\Search Maid<--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\Security IGuard<--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\Virtual Maid<--- the whole folder
    C:\Windows\System32\Log Files <--- the whole folder


    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.

    Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST). Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.

    Now reboot in normal mode and continue with the below.

    Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file fixwp.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.) Double-click on the fixwp.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 to the registry say yes.
    Now please download HOSTER and then follow the below steps.
    • Unzip Hoster to a convenient folder such as C:\Hoster
    • Run Hoster.exe, click Restore Original Hosts and then click OK.
    • Click the X to exit the program.
    Now post a new HJT log. And tell me how things are working.

    I have done all that, and although I couldn't find and delete all of the files you listed, everything has seemed to improve, i can change my homepage now, and so far havn't seen any pop ups.

    I didn't find these in the control panel:
    Search Maid
    Security IGuard
    Virtual Maid


    Couldn't find this process, c:\windows\system32\vjdzpn.exe, so I couldn't kill it, This one was here though, which I thought was quite similar, c:\windows\system32\aonrxvn.exe, i didn't kill it.

    In the scan and fix section of hjt, i couln't find these:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [xcsrnuz] c:\windows\system32\vjdzpn.exe
    O23 - Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe

    And as for those other files and folders you asked me to delete, C:\WINDOWS\System32\popcorn64.exe, was the only one i could find.
    I have system restore disabled, and viewing of hidden files is enabled just in case you were wondering.

    I did the rest of the things you asked, and have attached the hjt log you requested.

    Thanks again for your help.

    As I said in my last message:

    The other item you found c:\windows\system32\aonrxvn.exe is due to the fact that your system was rebooted since your log was posted and the O4 item I gave you renamed itself. You now need to look for aonrxvn.exe or whatever it may have renamed itself too. Also you need to look for other files being with the same letters (something starting with aonrxvn). There will probably be one that end with a .dll extension. You need to kill the running process then rename the files. Then fix the associated line in HJT. Then reboot and make sure it does not come back.

    Edit: Actially your files have renamed themselves again in your last HJT log:
    c:\windows\system32\nqabph.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nltszgg] c:\windows\system32\nqabph.exe

    If you rebooted since posting, they may have changed again.

    Ok, I have tried all that, but it is still there. The name of the process seems to change all the time not only after boot up, I did a scan using HJT and noted the name, then did another scan straight after and it had renamed itself again. I also noticed in task manager that there are three different seven random letter processes running at the same time, although in the HJT task manager it shows only one.

    Also, I couldn't find any files ending with the .dll extension, only .exe, and one of these .exe files couldn't be deleted because it was a running process. When i killed the process, and tried to find the .exe file to delete it, it was no longer there. I hope that information will be of some help.

    Anyway, thankyou again, you have been a lot of help.

    If it is a bad process, you need to kill the process before trying to delete the file. Also you must find the DLLs that go along with these. Maybe you should post a new HJT log so we can see what you have right now. One of the keys to fixing these problems is to not reboot or experiment with killing processes of fixing items after posting the log. Otherwise it will definitely mutate before I can even answer your message.
