Unable to follow "Spyaxe" advice

[MrBlack]

Hi,
I was happy to find your detailed instructions for getting rid of this pest.　But I am unable to get to the link to download the Panda scan to my desktop. I can get to that page, but the window that opens is too small to display the whole page and I can not move the page to find the required button to get to that link.

Is it possible to post here a direct link to that button, or a direct link to download the necessary file?

[LonnyRJones]

Hi MrBlack

Skip the panda online scan, continue with the rest of the instructions.

[tashi]

MrBlack, are you still needing assistance?

[MrBlack]

Sorry about the delay- I just tried to post the logs as requested but the Spybot report is way too long to post. I have included just the other logs for now pending further advice. Also- the Ewido save report function generated an "unknown error" report and did not work. I have put in a manual copy of the "view report" output instead.

The problem remains the same. I have no taskbar or icons and can work only in safemode after logging in as admin.

Hi
"I have no taskbar or icons and can work only in safemode after logging in as admin."

Post (or attach) a spybot report taken this way please.
Its large so you might need to post half in one reply half in another

Open SpyBot 1.4, check for and get any updates available, close all browsers, check for problems and fix everything found. Then on the toolbar menu select mode and switch to advanced mode, on the left lower down select tools,and view report, ensure all the options are select near the bottom except
Uncheck[ ] Include uninstall list in report.
Now select (near the top) view report, Press export, in the save in box choose a place such as your my documents folder, then in your next post near the bottom select the "manage attachments" button , navigate to and attach or post that report please.

[MrBlack]

This post has the requested attachment- or at least I hope it does :)

[LonnyRJones]

Hi

Try spliting it into two text files

[MrBlack]

Looks like I have to split it into 4 files

[MrBlack]

The text is still too long to post so I will just attach the files unless you request me to paste them in.

[MrBlack]

..........................................

[MrBlack]

Here is the last part of the Spybot report

[LonnyRJones]

Thanks, im not seeing anything

What happens when you try to start the pc to a none safe mode session exactly ? errors ? if so quote them.

Can you download one of these tool's to another pc then get it to this one ?

MicroWorld - Free AntiVirus standalone scanner
Download/save mwav.exe, Bottom of this page
http://www.mwti.net/products/download_center.asp
Run mwav.exe which will start run mwavscan.com select all files, press scan when it is completed view log,
but here is the catch since the log is so large, we only need to see the lines with "action taken" in them.
It will only report but is very thurough. *Dont* post sections if they are in antimaleware backups,
Quarantine or Restore folders, or in C:\System Volume Information. or C:\_restore folders.
Also Edit out sections which "refer to invalid object" please, no need to post them.
*Note* If prompted that a Virus was found and you need to purchase the product to remove the malware,
just close out the prompt and let it continue scanning.

Or

Sysclean a standalone scanner
Make a new folder called C:\Sysclean
Download Sysclean from http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
Click the sysclean.txt link to learn how to use it. Download the latest pattern file :
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
lpt(xxxx).zip (AS/400, S/390, Windows)
Unzip it to the Sysclean folder.
Boot to Safe Mode. Scan the system with Sysclean. It will take awhile but
it is very thorough. When it's done, close Sysclean. restart back to a normal session.

[MrBlack]

Hi again and thanks for your rapid responses- I can barely keep up with you!

As to your questions, Starting in normal mode- everything seems to progress as usual until the desktop comes up. The mouse works but that's it. No taskbar, no icons. If I try to start taskmanager I am refused with the message that it is not allowed by the admin.

I am able to access the net from the problem computer by starting in safemode + internet.

[MrBlack]

Phew!

Ok- here is what's left of the log from the Microworld scanner

I expexted much more :)
Use this to restore taskmanager funtion
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_taskmgrenab.htm

Open taskmanager go file start new task , type in "hijackthis" (without the quotes) scan and save a log , post it please

[MrBlack]

Here is the log as requested.

Just to clarify my position- From the begining I have been able to access Task Manager in safemode after logging in as Admin. After using the utility you pointed me to and running HiJackthis, I attempted to start in normal mode but the problem persists.

[LonnyRJones]

This one is more thorough

On line 51 over to the right get "Enable the Task Manager"
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
extract the reg file /rightclick on it and choose merge in the context menue, answer yes to the prompt.

If your able to get taskmanager working in normal mode try ending task on explorer then start it again using taskmanager and see if then the taskbar is available ?

[MrBlack]

extract the reg file /rightclick on it and choose merge in the context menue, answer yes to the prompt.

I am using a non-english widows version so just to clarify- do you mean the top-most option on the context menu?


If your able to get taskmanager working in normal mode try ending task on explorer then start it again using taskmanager and see if then the taskbar is available ?

Unfortunately, I can only access task manager from safe mode.

[LonnyRJones]

Another way is to double left click that reg file then click yes to prompts

You could use system restore to resort to before the infection started
If you do I suggest going back to two or three days before the infection started

[MrBlack]

Thanks for that suggestion.
I have had a look at some instructions for doing a system restore- but it required the task bar (i.e you start from the "start" button). Is there a way to do a restore from task manager in safe mode?

[LonnyRJones]

Hi
"If System Restore doesn't work in Normal Mode, it might work in Safe Mode. To use System Restore in Safe Mode, press the F8 key during reboot and choose Safe Mode. When your computer starts in either Safe Mode or Normal Mode, System Restore can be used to capture a working previous state. System Restore can't be opened unless the system is bootable into one of these modes."
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/getstarted/ballew_03may19.mspx
You can also get to it from safe mode command prompt only
But you mention the taskbar is avaiable in safe mode correct ?

[MrBlack]

Hello,

No I can not get the task bar (by which I mean the "Start button") at all. All I can access is the task manager when in safe mode.

You mention there is a way to access system restore from command prompt. Could you possibly point me to directions for that- or any other way of doing it from the task manager.

As far as I can see, all the instructions in the link you directed me to require you to have the "Start" button- so as I don't have that I'm rather stuck at the moment!

[MrBlack]

Hi- I found some instructions and did a system restore from the command prompt.

It seems to have worked as I now have a tasks bar and icons.

HOWEVER- when I try to download updates to Spybot I am unable to get them (I get a bad checksum message) Any ideas as o what might cause that?

[LonnyRJones]

Hi
Good to here that worked
