Wareout remnants?

    Hi,
    I'm having a lot of trouble with my computer at the moment. There's a lot of slow down and my RAM management program shows only 400 mb of ram available when I have a Gig installed. When I go into the start up configuration menu there are a number of programs which seem to be associated with an earlier Wareout attack I had. I think these are the cause of the slowdown.

    I've tried to follow the steps listed in the "read me and run me first" sticky but have had some problems. I couldn't update Windows Defender although I managed to run it. I couldn't install Counterspy and neither Panda nor Bitdefender would work.

    Here are my logs

    Can you help?

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Are your copies of Ewido and SuperAntispyware (I'll call it SAS from now on) paid or free copies?
    Have you run full scans with Ewido and SAS? If so, please attach logs from them.
    If they are free versions, after attaching any logs, please uninstall them.
    Also uninstall Windows Defender.

    The reason I'm saying to uninstall them is that you are running a full security suite from Panda which requires massive system resources and you do not need or want these other tools to be running. It will cause conflicts, waste system resources, and will slow your PC down.

    Also while uninstalling things, uninstall the below old version of Sun Java:
    Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1_03

    Please download FixWareout by LonnyRJones from one of the two below links and save it to your desktop.

    http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

    Right ok,
    Here are the reports from ewido and SAS. Both were free versions and so are now uninstalled. Have also uninstalled Defender and Java 2 runtime enviroment v 1.3.1_03.

    The Ewido program reported an error when trying to remove "Adware: Generic" SAS removed everything it found.

    Also uninstalled Panda. This was only the free evaluation version. I had downloaded it to use instead of the online scanner which I couldn't get to work. I was previously using AVG free but had to uninstall this to install Panda. Can you recommend a good anti-virus program to use in its stead?

    Thanks

    Okay! That's bad! Had I known this I would not have had you uninstall Windows Defender. You need to have a realtime antispyware blocker. Reinstall it. Also AVG is just fine to use. You should reinstall it too (unless you did not like it). You can get it and updates from here:

    AVG Free Edition

    AVG Anti-Virus Updates



    Start by downloading - Pocket KillBox

    Extract 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,ProxyOverride = http://localhost
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [adiras] adiras.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [jninm.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\jninm.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ftbar] MSTCPDLL.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dmogh.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmogh.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Dest068] newbreed.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SAPSTR] install2.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [PrcIdle] ms-its.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [gabber] Kargo.exe
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{345B06CB-BFBB-497C-98C0-12F504CE19BC}: NameServer = 85.255.114.35,85.255.112.13
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{74D00E00-C9A6-493E-BBD4-216F2743CA01}: NameServer = 85.255.114.35,85.255.112.13
    O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.35 85.255.112.13
    O17 - HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.35 85.255.112.13
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.35 85.255.112.13



    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.
    Now back on Killbox's main window, Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time. Check mark the box that says "Delete on Reboot" and checkmark the box "Unregister DLL" (If available) Click the RED X and it will ask you to confirm the file for deletion…say YES and when the next box opens prompting you to reboot now...click NO...and proceed with the next file. Once you get to the last one click YES and it will reboot. Note some of the files listed below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.

    C:\WINDOWS\mickey32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\{B80BCA13-D007-4842-999A-E5659ADE1057}.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\{F1A02216-18AE-4624-840F-2E32A0B90AD8}.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\{A1A4210A-04D7-4798-98CC-A2DDADC62799}.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\{EA6039BF-426C-4EC8-BAF8-9EFA0832B6D3}.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\diras.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\jninm.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSTCPDLL.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmogh.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\newbreed.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\install2.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ms-its.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Kargo.exe


    If Killbox does not reboot or if you get a Pending Operations type error message just click OK to continue and then just reboot your PC yourself.


    Also delete all files 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\James\Local Settings\Temp\



    Now attach a new HJT log and tell me how the steps went.

    Also attach a new log from ShowNew and a new log from GetRunKey.

    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    OK, Sorry for delay.

    Everything seems to be running ok. Maybe a bit better than before, not sure. Followed all the steps. Only as couple of problems.

    couldn't find this line in the HJT log:

    "R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = http://localhost"

    and there were only two files present in C:\Documents and Settings\James\Local Settings\Temp\ and these couldn't be deleted.

    They were a folder "RarSFX1" and "Perflib_Perfdata_aac.dat".

    I've reinstalled AVG and SAS.

    Here are my logs

    Thanks

    You need to uninstall SAS and install Windows Defender unless you purchased SAS. The free version does not provide any realtime protection.


    Your logs are clean. If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to go back to step 1 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.

    After that, you should work thru the below link:
