hello,
I ran spybot but didn't find any problems, but avast! antivirus detected several files that were infected, which I placed in the avast! virus chest. I don't know what to do with them in the chest. There was one particular that came up many times even after placing in the chest:
flsmontr.exe infected by Win32:Inject-DC.
I didn't want to update windows with sp2 until the computer is clean. If you could help, I'd appreciate it. The HJT and Kaspersky reports follow. Thanks.

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance)
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

I'll give it a try, you have junk I have never seen before, probably from bearshare p2p sharing.

If you want help, read and follow the directions. Kaspersky scan first:

Infected music files, you need to figure out how to delete them.
C:\Documents and Settings\~Ammy~\My Documents\My Music\ammy's music downloads\BearShareV6.exe/WISE0044.BIN/stream/data0005 Infected: not-a-virus:AdWare.Win32.Mostofate.aa skipped

C:\Documents and Settings\~Ammy~\My Documents\My Music\ammy's music downloads\BearShareV6.exe WiseSFX: infected - 3 skipped
C:\Documents and Settings\~Ammy~\My Documents\My Music\ammy's music downloads\BearShareV6.exe WiseSFX Dropper: infected - 3 skipped


You have an infected hosts file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.sam Infected: Trojan.Win32.Qhost.vt skipped

follow these directions:
Download HostsXpert v4.\1 - Hosts File Manager.
http://www.funkytoad.com/download/HostsXpert.zip
Unzip HostsXpert - Hosts File Manager to a convenient folder such as C:\HostsXpert
Click HostsXpert.exe to Run HostsXpert 4.1 - Hosts File Manager from its new home
Click "Make Hosts Writable?" in the upper right corner (If available).
Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts file and then click OK.
Click the X to exit the program.
Note: If you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself.

Do this in the numbered order:


1) How to make files and folders visible:
Click Start > Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck: Hide file extensions for known file types
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.
You may reverse this for safety when we are finished.

2) Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/25/2/
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

3) TeaTimer will block changes we must make, use these instruction to turn it off until we are done.
http://russelltexas.com/malware/teatimer.htm

4) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

5) RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these files in red

C:\WINDOWS\esitserv.dll
C:\WINDOWS\ncscolib.dll
C:\WINDOWS\rvxutil32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\runtfs32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\fmideploy.exe
C:\WINDOWS\flsmontr.exe


6) Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Empty the Recycle Bin, restart the computer and post a new HJT log. Tell me now the computer is running.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, you asked questions, this one:
What should I do with the files that I have in the avast! chest? sounds like their version of a quarantine folder. If that is where they put bad stuff they can't delete, clean out what ever is in there and remember to empty your Recycle Bin.

This is a line that got missed in the HJT log, it is not malware just clutter. Use HJT to remove it if you wish.
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {53707962-6F74-2D53-2644-206D7942484F} - (no file)

Please do run another Kapersky scan and use these settings:

Run this online scan using Internet Explorer:
Kaspersky Online Scanner from http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Next Click on Launch Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

* The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
* Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
* Now click on Scan Settings
* In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
* Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
* Standard
* Scan Options:
* Scan Archives
* Scan Mail Bases
* Click OK
* Now under select a target to scan:
* Select My Computer
* This will program will start and scan your system.
* The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
* Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
* Now click on the Save as Text button:
* Save the file to your desktop.

Then post it here.

Thanks...Phil

Thanks for returning the information and the feedback. You were able to follow the instructions in my post #3 to do this:

Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts file and then click OK.were you not? If so, let me have a look at the hosts file and if it is extremely large you may post it as an attachment.

To view the Hosts file:
Start -> Run -> Copy the following to the box and hit enter:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS

A window opens, choose Notepad from the list and hit OK.

A notepad document opens, copy the contents to here

Thanks

hello, I did ask you asked and here is the info:
# Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a "#" symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
#
127.0.0.1 localhost

What I did notice is that if I went ahead and typed the file you asked, as I got to end where I typed "hosts", several other files were listed for me choose from like:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.2007112-213317.backup
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.2007112-213318.backup
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.2007112-222139.backup
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.2007112-223352.backup
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.2007113-195128.backup
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.2007113-195129.backup
and several like those above but the last one was:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.sam
Hope that helps out.

No it does not, I have not seen a Hosts file like this before, here is some information to look over.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hosts.sam&btnG=Search

I don't know why those backups or the hosts.samples are there, do you have any idea.

I don't much like fooling around in the hosts file. I think we can just navigate to here:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\ <<< in that folder and tell me what files are in there.
One file will look like this: hosts.sam Open that file with Notepad and copy/paste the contents here, if it is a hugh file, then attach it, that seems to be the problem file.

I am also interested in how the computer is performing, any issues?

Thanks

This is what I did after the above: If I opened Spybot-S&D and selected to Immunize and then checked the hosts file, I found a lot of entries. If I then ran HostsXpert 4.2 (not 4.1 cause I guess that's the new one) and clicked Restore MS Hosts File, and then checked the hosts file I found the same thing like the one I posted previously which is just the local host. Should I just not run HostsXpert cause it seems to be deleting everything that Spybot put except local host? How can I post or attach the hosts file (after Spybot's Immunize but before HostsXpert) because it is beyond the attachment limit of 19.5 KB, it is about 209 KB?

Read this information and follow the directions carefully:
http://malektips.com/spyware_adware_0017.html

Make sure to make that one backup:
Open file "HOSTS" in Notepad. Before making changes, do a "Save As" and save a backup of this file as "HOSTS.BAK". Then reopen the HOSTS file.

Save that file to your Desktop for easy access.

Now, delete all entries in this file except for the following and any other entries you are sure have legitimate uses:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Now everything in the hosts file should be gone except for 127.0.0.1 localhost.

Thanks

Thanks for your help, I did as you asked and everything seems fine. I went ahead and deleted the hosts.sam file since that seemed to be causing the virus detection in Kaspersky scan. Afterwards, I ran Kaspersky scan and it said my computer was clean with 0 viruses detected. Once again I'd like to thank you for all your help. My computer is running better and I'm not being redirected to other web sites.
Thanks.
