    Things are running a lot better! I haven't had a popup since restart yet. I did however get a DDL error:

    RUNDLL
    C:\windows\system32\ptegdfcc.dll

    The specified module could not be found.
    Also... some simple stuff seems to be broke, such as my calculator and wordpad (notepad is fine).



    Without further delay, here is my new ComboFix log:

    Hi

    Things are running a lot better! I haven't had a popup since restart yet. I did however get a DDL error.

    Also... some simple stuff seems to be broke, such as my calculator and wordpad (notepad is fine).
    Let's try and fix those errors now:

    Step 1

    Open HijackThis, perform a scan and put a check next to the following items (if present):

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [4c1bf536] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ptegdfcc.dll",b
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: mljjhij - mljjhij.dll (file missing)


    Close all programs except HijackThis and click on Fix checked.

    Step 2

    Be sure that you are set to see hidden files and folders:

    • Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.
    • Double-click on the My Computer icon.
    • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    • After the new window appears select the View tab.
    • Put a checkmark in the checkbox labelled Display the contents of system folders.
    • Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders.
    • Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labelled Hide file extensions for known file types.
    • Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labelled Hide protected operating system files. Answer Yes to the prompt.
    • Press the Apply button and then the OK button and close My Computer.


    Step 3

    Navigate to the following files/folders using Windows Explorer and delete them when found:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\dvjwgbyn.ini <-- File

    Step 4

    Copy the text below into a Notepad (Go to Start > Run, type Notepad and hit Enter) document:

    Code:
    REGEDIT4
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\lsa]
    "Authentication Packages"=hex(7):6d,73,76,31,5f,30,00,00
    Note: Make sure there is no blank line before REGEDIT4 and one blank line at the end.

    Go to File > Save As:. Save the file as "Fix.reg" (Including the quotes)

    Double-click on Fix.reg. When asked if you want to merge the file with the registry, click Yes.

    Step 5

    Your Java software is out of date. Follow these instructions to update it:

    • Go to Start and click on Control Panel, then double-click on Add or Remove Programs.
    • Search for previously installed versions of Java (J2SE Runtime Environment), and remove it. It should have this icon next to it:
    • Then download and install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 3.


    Post a new HijackThis log in your next reply, and tell me how everything is working.

    Again, thank you for all your time and effort. Is there some where I can give you points or something? I dont know if people rate themselves here or not.

    Let me know if this looks clean.

    Hi

    I only notice this now, but you are operating your computer with multiple Anti-Virus programs running in memory at once:

    AVG 7.5
    Symantec AntiVirus
    Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007


    Anti-Virus programs take up an enormous amount of your computer's resources when they are actively scanning your computer. Having two Anti-Virus programs running at the same time can cause your computer to run very slow, become unstable and even crash.

    If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.

    Please disable or uninstall one or the other so they do not conflict.

    Again, thank you for all your time and effort. Is there some where I can give you points or something? I dont know if people rate themselves here or not.
    You're welcome You can't give me points or rate me, but your kind words are encouraging enough

    However, if you want to donate to support this forum and Spybot Search and Destroy, you can go here: http://www.spybot.info/en/donate/index.html

    Let me know if this looks clean.
    Your log looks clean indeed. Here are some tips to keep your computer clean in the future:

    Click Start then Run....

    • Type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. (Note: The space between the x and the /u needs to be there)


    • When shown the disclaimer, select 2.


    Rehide your System Files

    • Double-click My Computer.
    • Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
    • Click the View tab.
    • Put a check next to Hide file extensions for known file types.
    • Under the Hidden files folder, select Do not show hidden files and folders.
    • Check Hide protected operating system files.
    • Click Apply, and then click OK.


    Disable and Enable System Restore - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.

    Step 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


    Step 2: Reboot your computer.

    Step 3: Turn on System Restore:

    • On the desktop, right-click My Computer
    • Click Properties
    • Click the System Restore tab
    • Uncheck Turn off System Restore
    • Click Apply, and then click OK


    Note: Only do this once, NOT on a regular basis!

    Make your Internet Explorer More Secure

    • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    • Click once on the Security tab.
    • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    • Click once on the Custom Level button.

      • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt.
      • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable.
      • Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable.
      • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt.
      • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt.
      • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt.
      • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
      • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.


    • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.


    Update your Anti-Virus Software - It is very imprtant that you update your anti-virus software at least once a week (even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti-virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that will come out.

    Use a Firewall - Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. The Windows firewall isn't sufficient as it only monitors incoming connections.

    Here are a few (free) firewalls, please download and install one of them:



    Visit Microsoft's Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://update.microsoft.com/ regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

    Install Ad-Aware - Download and install Ad-Aware. You should scan your computer with the program on a regular basis just as you would with your anti-virus software. A tutorial on installing and using this product can be found here:
    Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware

    Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. An article on anti-malware products with links for this program and others can be found here:
    Computer Safety on line - Anti-Malware

    Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

    Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

    Stand Up and Be Counted! - Please take the time to tell us what you would like to be done about the people who are behind all the problems you have had. We can only get something done about this if the people that we help, like you, are prepared to complain. We have a dedicated forum for collecting these complaints: Malware Complaints. You have to be registered to post. After registering just find your country room and register your complaint. The infection you had was Vundo (Virtumundo).
