Hi

Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis folder and rename HijackThis.exe file there to something.exe. Post a fresh hjt log after renaming is done.

[Greenstar]

Hi Blade81

Before posting HiJackIt log here is what has been happening.

I deleted Penkbastra.exe and removed all reference tto this file from the registry.

I switched off teatimer.exe and did Spybot scan. Virumonde was detected again. Spybot said that it fixed the problem but on rebooting, it was discovered again.

I did a Kaspersky online scan and here is the log:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KASPERSKY ONLINE SCANNER 7 REPORT
Monday, January 5, 2009
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600)
Kaspersky Online Scanner 7 version: 7.0.25.0
Program database last update: Monday, January 05, 2009 17:07:48
Records in database: 1564760
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scan settings:
Scan using the following database: extended
Scan archives: yes
Scan mail databases: yes

Scan area - Critical Areas:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
C:\Program Files
C:\WINDOWS
G:\XP Document folders\Rajendra\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Scan statistics:
Files scanned: 54012
Threat name: 1
Infected objects: 4
Suspicious objects: 0
Duration of the scan: 00:53:08


File name / Threat name / Threats count
C:\WINDOWS\system32\qoMgheeF.dll/C:\WINDOWS\system32\qoMgheeF.dll Infected: Trojan.Win32.Monder.agin 3
C:\WINDOWS\system32\qoMgheeF.dll Infected: Trojan.Win32.Monder.agin 1

The selected area was scanned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I then tried to delete qoMgheeF.dll but the system would not let me (kept saying 'file is in use').

Went into registry and deleted all reference to this file. Rebooted. The references in the registry were back. Tried this process couple of more times and then was unable to boot the computer. Error message saying 'object lcass.exe missing).

Searched for backup registry files through system recovery console using dos - all backups had been deleted except one. Transferred those to system32\config. Also deleted qoMgheeF.dll and managed to reboot. On rebooting I was able to switch on automatic update for Windows.

Spybot found virtumonde again but was able to clear it this time. Reboot and rescan with Spybot showed no problem.

Purchased Avira premium. Uninstalled Avast antivirus and installed Avira. Scanned the computer - many new viruses found and removed.

Latest Spybot scan found 'doubleclick' but managed to clear. I think I will let teatimer.exe run.

The computer is now running fine. Following is the HJT log (as per your instruction) -

Hi

First of all, you made a very risky movement by taking 'do-it-yourself' path. Tweaking with registry is one of the easiest way to get system to non-working state.

There seem to be some bad entries still. So, better clean them off.

Start hjt, do a system scan, check:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {14478C1A-8B6A-47EE-AED9-62446DA460AC} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\khfCrQIA.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {3F55D1C1-9468-4E03-8104-67BDB41D0D8B} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\qoMgheeF.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7D3C7FA8-2270-4E6E-8758-87F33B8B3721} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\xxyawTlm.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: urqpnLdd - urqpnLdd.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: xxyawTlm - xxyawTlm.dll (file missing)

Close browsers and fix checked. Reboot.


Uninstall old Adobe Reader versions and get the latest one here or get Foxit Reader here. Make sure you don't install toolbar if choose Foxit Reader!

Scan whole 'my computer' with Kaspersky online scanner. Post back its report & a fresh hjt log.
