1. Download this tool called AboutBuster http://www.downloads.subratam.org/AboutBuster.zip

Unzip it to your Desktop.

Start About:Buster. Then hit update. A new screen should pop up. On that screen, hit Check for Updates. If it says it found an update, hit Download Updates. If it doesnt find an update, it will automatically tell you and exit.

Do nothing more with the program at this time.

2. Click here to download Ad-Aware SE and install. Open the program and click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. If not, click *ok* and let it download and install the updates by clicking on *Finish* after the update download is completed. Exit the program.

3. Print out these instructions so you have them handy as most of the steps need to be done in Safe Mode and you may not be able to go online.

4. Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files and folders....

Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

5. Next, go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok

THIS MAY OR MAY NOT SHOW If it doesn't, please continue to step 6

Scroll down and find the service called "Network Security Service." When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and, under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

6. Reboot to Safe Mode

Reboot into safe mode, this way:
Restart the computer
Immediately begin tapping the <F8> key.
Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode and press the <Enter> key.

7. Scan with Hijack This and put checks next to all the following, then with all other windows closed click "Fix Checked"

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\jwedu.dll/sp.html#28129
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\jwedu.dll/sp.html#28129
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = res://C:\WINDOWS\jwedu.dll/sp.html#28129
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\jwedu.dll/sp.html#28129
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\jwedu.dll/sp.html#28129
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\jwedu.dll/sp.html#28129
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\jwedu.dll/sp.html#28129
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = c:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\System\panels\blank.htm

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {207FA229-5C54-6B41-BFEE-0F4A12371E70} - C:\WINDOWS\javacz32.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sysex.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysex.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Notn] C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\eber.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msxml3a] C:\WINDOWS\System32\msxml3a.exe

O15 - Trusted Zone: *.05p.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.my-internet.info
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.scoobidoo.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.searchmiracle.com

Now, search for, and delete if found, (some files may not be present after previous steps) the following files or folders:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysex.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\eber.exe
C:\WINDOWS\unvise32qt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msxml3a.exe
C:\WINDOWS\javacz32.dll

8. Go to Start->Run and type Regedit then click Ok. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
and highlight Services in the left pane. In the right pane, look for any of these entries:

__NS_Service
__NS_Service_2
__NS_Service_3

If any are listed, right-click that entry in the right pane and choose Delete.

Again in Regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root and highlight Root in the Left Pane. In the right pane, look for these entries (the number at the end should correspond to the first one you deleted above):

LEGACY___NS_Service
LEGACY___NS_Service_2
LEGACY___NS_Service_3

If you find it, right-click it in the right-pane and choose delete.

Remain in Safe Mode....

9. Double click on About:Buster to start the program. Hit Start and then Ok. The program should start scanning. When it's finished, hit Exit and reboot, again in Safe Mode.

Run About:Buster once more to make sure everything is ok. Reboot into Safe Mode when finished.

Save the About:Buster report (copy and paste into notepad or wordpad and save as a .txt file) and post a copy back here when you are done with all the steps.

10. Remaining in Safe Mode, configure Ad-aware for a customized scan, and let it remove any bad files found.....

Launch the program, and click on the Gear at the top of the start screen.

Under "General Settings" all available options should be selected.

Click the "Scanning" button.
Under "Drives, Folders and Files," select "Scan within Archives".
Click "Drives and folders to scan" and select your installed hard drives.
Under "Memory & Registry," select all options.

Click the "Advanced" button.
Under "Logfile detail level," select all options.

Click the "Defaults" button.
If you want to keep your current settings for your homepage and searchpage,
select "Read current settings from system." Otherwise, Ad-aware will reset them.

Click the "Tweak" button.
Under "Scanning Engine," select the following:
"Unload recognized processes during scanning."
Under "Cleaning Engine," select the following:
"Always try to unload modules before deletion."
"During removal unload Explorer and IE if necessary."
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Click on "Proceed" to save these Preferences. then click "Start." Make sure "Activate in-depth scan" is ticked green, then scan your system. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next." The bad files will be listed. Right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - This will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?"

11. Clean out temporary and TIF files.....

Delete your temporary files by deleting all files and folders that are in those folders (do not delete the temp folder itself) like for example:

C:\WINDOWS\Temp\

C:\Temp\

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

Also delete your Temporary Internet Files, be sure to also select "delete all offline content."

Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot into normal mode.

12. Perform online virus scans at Trend Micro and Panda Software (See links below). Allow the programs to delete anything they may find. Reboot after each scan.

13. Download and install this free anti-Trojan program: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

Perform a scan and allow the program to remove anything it may find.

14. Go to the Windows Update site (see link below) to download and install ALL critical updates. Reboot when finished.

15. NOTE: Two possibly three files may have been deleted from your computer by the hijacker and may need to be replaced. Check to see if these are missing.

a. Control.exe

b. hosts (with no extension)

c. SDHelper.dll (if you are using Spybot Search & Destroy)

If control. exe is missing
Go here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/winfiles.html#control
and download the version of control.exe for your operating system. If you are running Windows 95/98/98SE/ME: copy it to C:\WINDOWS
Windows 2000, copy it to c:\winnt\system32\.
For Windows XP, copy it to c:\windows\system32\.

Download the Hoster from here: http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip
Press 'Restore Original Hosts' and press 'OK'
Exit Program.
Note: if you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself

If you have Spybot S&D installed and SDHelper.dll is missing, replace it here:
URL=http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/winfiles.html#sdhelper
and download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing you Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy)

16. Additionally, Please check your ActiveX security settings. They may have been changed by this CWS variant to allow ALL ActiveX!! If they have been changed, reset your active x security settings in IE as recommended here:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/hijacked/prevent.php
Quote:
ActiveX controls and plug-ins

* Download signed ActiveX controls (Prompt)
* Download unsigned ActiveX controls (Disable)
* Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe (Disable)
* Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins (Enabled) (This actually refers to Java and Flash, not ActiveX)
* Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting (Prompt)


17. Scan with HijackThis and post a fresh log into this same thread along with your About:Buster log.

Hmmm, there is nothing wrong with the zip, this may cause a problem as About:Buster is needed for the fix, but you can try to continue.

Looks like we have cracked it B)

Now these lines are purely optional;

Make sure all browsers and windows are closed except for hijackthis and put a check against the following and click 'fix checked';

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [cnet] "C:\Program Files\Kontiki\bin\kontiki.exe" -s cnet -q <

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present <


If you fix the line associated to this, delete this folder, and uninstall the program;

C:\Program Files\Kontiki<

Reboot, then let me see a last log

ok, here is the latest hijack this log. also, when i did a file search for kontiki, i found 6 different files, one was c:program'file folder, when i tried to delet it i received a message that there was a certain .dll file that i could not delete.
I don't use this program to the best of my knowledge--there were two paths ending in 'file foler' and two exe files. I also found a file with the term 'prefetch' in it, what is prefetch?
thanks again for everything

Ok, your log is clean now.

I would suggest you go to Add/Remove Programs and remove any instance of Kontiki there.

Prefetch is a windows folder, this Link will give you a good explanation.

To help keep your log clean, do this;

Sometimes, when a PC is infected a copy of the file is backed up in your System Restore (XP and ME). By default, Windows prevents System Restore from being modified by outside programs, which includes your AntiVirus program.

One of the best features of Windows XP is the System Restore option, however if a virus infects a computer with this operating system the virus can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is necessary after a virus removal.

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

Disabling System Restore does not delete or remove any of your personal data from your computer. The only files removed are those that System Restore created in the _RESTORE folder, the restore points.

You can follow this Link or follow these instructions;

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Next;


Click here to download System Security Suite. Extract it from the zip file into a folder and doubleclick on sss.exe. Check the boxes under the 'Items to Clear' tab and click 'Clear Selected Items'. Reboot when prompted. System Security Suite (3S) is the program to remove internet tracks and junk files from your computer. It allows you to delete Cookies, clear Internet Explorer Cache, delete index.dat Files, clear Typed URLs, Windows Temp Folder and much more. You can also specify custom folder locations with file masks, which will be cleaned in addition to the selected items. In addition, the program allows you to view and optionally remove programs that launch automatically at Windows startup as well as Browser Helper Objects.

Next;


To provide future protection - I would advise you to download and install:


A Firewall, if you don’t have one and don’t want to pay for one, there are 2 “free” Firewall links below my signature. Zone Alarm & Kerio


SpywareBlaster, this will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies. Download from Here

IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, if you use IE, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all. Download
Here

Both are very small free programs that you run once, and then just weekly to check for updates.

And also see
So how did I get infected in the first place?

You could also do this;

Update Windows and Internet Explorer, to get all the Latest Security Patches that Protect Your Computer.

This can be accessed by going Here and following the prompts.

Please be aware that Service Pack 2 is now available for Windows XP and Internet Explorer. The download can be around 80MB and take quite a bit of time to download/install if done online.

hi
thanks for all of this information, i will start working on it right away. I have already tried to download the XP service pack 2, after a rather long process of installation a window suddenly popped up saying the installation had been rejected and then went through reversing all of the changes it had just made.
should i try this again? i did this after all of the steps you have directed me through.
one or two minor things, how can i tell if a have a firewall in place already?
is it possible to have too many programs providing security?
thanks

hi
hope this is not a duplicate post. I will finish up with your instructions. an hour or so ago i did attempt to load service pack 2 for xp but about 3/4 ways through the installation it was rejected and everything reversed. also, about system restore. I don't have that tab when i right click on the screen icon, but am able to access it through the control panel--does this do the same thing. from right clicking on the icon it does not appear that i am an 'administrator'--how do i become, or gain access as an administrator?
i work in real estate and so need to access the listing site on IE, i am not able to get through to some of the pages after signing in, could this be related to all of the problems we have been working on? also, is it possible to have too many programs providing security?
thanks again for all of your help, i really can't tell you how rewarding this feels, everyone else has just said i would have to reformat the hard and/or buy a new computer.

You already have a firewall, so don't worry about that. The number of security packages is not a factor, it is having programs that compliment each other. I would suggest you get the XP CDROM that is available for the upgrade.

I have just seen your reply, who is the administrator on that machine? that will explain your upgrade as well.

Make sure all browsers and windows are closed except for hijackthis and put a check against the following and click 'fix checked';

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sysex.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysex.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [crjd32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\crjd32.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msxml3a] C:\WINDOWS\System32\msxml3a.exe

Restart your computer in
Safe Mode Also make sure you show hidden and system files Then delete the following files or folders as indicated below if they still show:

Not all or any of these may still show,

C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysex.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\crjd32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msxml3a.exe

Reboot, then post a fresh logfile so that I can check to see if it is clean.

Hi 12g,
Here is recent log. Also, I keep noticing exe files with random letter combinations, are these new attempts at hijackings? I am now receiving stupid spam mail from myself. I find it in my spam filter program and am worried that this is being sent out to everyone in my address book--any way I can check and stop this. I don't know if I mentioned this before, but win I do WINVER I get windows xp but when I check boot ini in msconfig and when I do reboot in safe mode I get window whistler personal, which I understand was name for pre xp system--this is a HP computer about 2 years old. this is purely the conspiratorial rantings of an ignorant techn-ettante, but is it possible that the whistler OS could have been installed behind the xp system and is the system being used to keep the hijacking activity alive? I cannot download SP2 because of messages that the system will not accept. Is it possible for me to pull up a list of ligitimate .exe files to keep for comparison to files that come up in hijackthis logs--it doese seem that there must be a finite number of correct files that would never change as long as I don't install new programs.
thanks again for your help

Again your log is clean.

Where do you find these?

This is quite common, do you run a spam filter?

That I cannot answer, you may want to post that question in the Windows Fanatics forum on here.

You may get what you are looking for Here

If you can, download and run About:Buster again, post the log here.

Also download and run Get Services and post the log here.

Hello 12g,
during a run of spybot, i looked up the following files in the registry. fixing the files on spybot did not remove them from the registry. the thing is, they are in the registry except for the last part !=w=3
should i delete these from the registry in addition to 'fixing' them in spybot?
thanks
