PostPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2007 11:15 pm    Post subject: Virus affects Google searches


First off, thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I've got a relatively new laptop that picked up a virus (or a couple viruses) in the last three months. One problem is that about 50% of the time I do a Google search, when I click on a link, it hijacks the URL, directs it to some other site, and then redirects it to one of various spam sites. I'm not sure if the second problem is related, but every once in a while, when IE is just sitting, it'll cause a brand new window to popup, to a spam site. This popup is caused without direct "clicking" and all my security settings on IE are set to disable windows with no URL bar (how it's ignoring this, I have no idea). I've run about 5 different spyware finding programs (Adaware, Spybot, CWShredder, etc), but hasn't fixed the problem. If anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Welcome to Lockergnome.

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should 'not' have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

Download AVG Anti-Spyware at http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ and install it.

Once the setup is complete you will need run AVG Anti-Spyware and update the definition files. Once that's done, exit.

Download CleanUp! http://cleanup.stevengould.org/ (Alternate Link if main link don't work - http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/CleanUp.exe ) and install it. Don't run it yet.

Download VundoFix at http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4 and save it to your desktop.
* Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
* Click 'Scan for Vundo' button.
* Once it's done scanning, click the 'Remove Vundo' button.
* You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
* Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
* When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer. click OK.
* Turn your computer back on.
* Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt here.


Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode (if you don't know how, go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=61 ).

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following if they still exist and hit 'Fix Checked' after you check the last one:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {1557B435-8242-4686-9AA3-9265BF7525A4} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vphdvsus.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {643501F9-6932-4E40-B126-EDA2D612D2C4} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mllmn.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {6746EAFE-3E7F-4A3B-9D05-FB0E10C8EF31} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\viglevnv.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E44527F6-1296-4A84-B67D-A6CEA6ED4B69} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ljjifee.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinSystems] C:\WINDOWS\system32\winsystems16.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SoundService] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\fdwyiald.dll",setvm
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WinSystems] C:\WINDOWS\system32\winsystems16.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ljjifee - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ljjifee.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: mllmn - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mllmn.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: pmnnlih - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\pmnnlih.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: qomjkli - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\qomjkli.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ssqonoo - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ssqonoo.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: yayaaaa - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\yayaaaa.dll


Locate and delete the following:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\fdwyiald.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ljjifee.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ljjifee.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mllmn.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\pmnnlih.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\qomjkli.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ssqonoo.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\viglevnv.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vphdvsus.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winsystems16.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\yayaaaa.dll


CleanUp! deletes EVERYTHING out of your temp/temporary folders. It does not make backups. If you have any documents or programs that are saved in any Temporary Folders, make a backup of these before running CleanUp!. Run CleanUp! and click on the CleanUp! button. Let it run. After it's done, click the Close button and choose Yes to logoff.

Make sure all windows are closed. Run AVG Anti-Spyware.
On the main screen select the 'Update' icon.
Next select the 'Start Update' button. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
Once the update has completed select the 'Scanner' icon at the top of the screen, then select the 'Settings' tab.
Once in the Settings screen, click on 'Recommended actions' and then select 'Quarantine'.

Under Reports:
Select 'Automatically generate report after every scan'.
Un-Select 'Only if threats were found'.

Click on the Scan tab and choose to run the 'Complete System Scan' .

Restart. Perform an online scan with Internet Explorer at Panda ActiveScan http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm

* Click on 'Scan your PC' button. There should be a popup - if you have a pop-up blocker, make sure it's not blocking it.
* Click 'Check Now' & a pop-up window will appear.
* Enter your Country, State and E-mail Address & click 'Scan Now' - begin downloading Panda's ActiveX controls (8 MB size).
* Begin the scan by selecting My Computer.
* If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report. Ignore any entry it finds (since it wants you to buy the program for removal) as we will address this later.
* Click on see report. Then click Save report.
* Post that log in your next reply.

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.
Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:SDFix)


Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
  • Choose your usual account.[/li][li]
  • Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
  • It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  • Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
    (Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
  • Finally paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum with a new HijackThis log

Greyknight--

Seemed as if I had the same problem as richkrack--Clicking on a Google search result reroutes to a page selling things related (in some way) to the search topic. Sometimes I can back up back to the search results page; other times I have to close the browser.

I carefully went through the process you described. None of the files that you wanted HijackThis! to fix and none of the files you wanted deleted were on my machine. All the various scans and checks reported finding nothing.

The problem persists. Any further thoughts?

Hi wer and welcome to Lockergnome.

Please follow the steps outlined at http://help.lockergnome.com/general/read-posting-ftopict47177.html and then post your HijackThis log in a new topic. The fix here does NOT apply to your or anyone else having similar or even the same issues. Things will be different for each users machine...
