Popups from AdvanceCleaner are coming up whenever I browse. Spybot did not fix it, nor did mcaffee. Neither site has any posting about this.

I run xp home sp2, ie7. This started happening shortly after I upgraded to ie7.

Any ideas. Please help.

Hello pbarr,

Please have a look through this thread (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288), and if you still require assistance afterwards, please post the required logs.

Hello pbarr,

Important information: You have signs of a backdoor trojan (http://www.geekstogo.com/2007/10/03/what-is-a-backdoor-trojan/) and/or rootkit on your system (more info (http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Malware-FAQ-t165867.html)). These have the potential to harvest confidential data, and require special attention. Although rare, identity theft, or other fraudulent financial activity is a possibility. We generally have good success removing all signs of these infections. However, if you have adequate backups, required media (CDs), and the ability, at this point it would be wise to consider reformatting and reinstalling your operating system and applications. We can provide you with some helpful links if needed.

Before we proceed, we recommend that you temporarily disconnect the infected system from the Internet to protect yourself, and others. This is because these infections may use the Internet for remote access, or even remote control of an infected system. If you don’t have access to another system, and require Internet access, be sure to have a firewall installed. We recommend the free version of Comodo (http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/). Note: never run more than one firewall.

If you used the infected system for online banking, any online financial transactions (including eBay and Paypal), or access any sensitive information online, please use a known clean computer, and change your passwords as soon as possible. It would also be wise to contact those same financial institutions to let them know your account information and passwords may have been compromised. Closely monitor all bank and credit card statements. In the event you do notice suspicious activity, it's important you act quickly. Follow these steps recommended by the FTC: Defend: Recover From Identity Theft (http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/consumers/defend.html).

Open HijackThis, click Config, click Misc Tools
Click "Open Uninstall Manager"
Click "Save List" (generates uninstall_list.txt)
Click Save, copy and paste the results in your next post.

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe) or HERE (http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe)
You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

ComboFix died when it got the the "deleting Files/Folders:" step.

It does not show any filees deleted.

I'm going to reboots and try to run it from safe mode.

actually when In hit cntl-c in the ComboFix window, I was prompted to terminate batch job. When I responded 'no', the program continued and did delete several files (hopefully logging them).

It then completed and rebooted. I'm not starting in safemode and plan to re-run ComboFix if I can find it.

Oh..surprise..surprise, ComboFix began running on bootup in safemode. Smart little devil. I'll go back to my infected machine now and send the logs.

I hope you have some advise. I'm still down.

Here's what some others say.

What 411-spyware.com says (although they recommend using spyhunter so I don't know if I should trust them)

What symantec says

Any idea why spybot can't detect this malware?

Thanks, Phil

How Do I Remove AdvancedCleaner Files?
Need help figuring out how to delete files, DLLs, and registry keys? While there’s some risk involved, and you should only manually remove AdvancedCleaner files if you’re comfortable and confident editing your system, you’ll find it’s fairly easy to delete AdvancedCleaner files in Windows.

How to delete AdvancedCleaner files in Windows XP and Vista:
Click your Windows Start menu, and from “Search,” click “For Files and Folders…“
A speech bubble will pop up asking you, “What do you want to search for?” Click “All files and folders.”
Type any file name in the search box, and select “Local Hard Drives.”
Click “Search.” Once the file is found, delete it.
How to stop AdvancedCleaner processes:
Click Start menu, select Run > cmd, and click “OK” to launch Windows Task Manager.
Click “Image Name” to search and find AdvancedCleaner processes by name.
Once you’ve found the AdvancedCleaner process, click “End Process” to kill the AdvancedCleaner process.
Finally, remove AdvancedCleaner process files from your system.
How to remove AdvancedCleaner registry keys:
Your Windows registry is the core of your Windows operating system, storing information about user settings, system preferences, and software, including which applications automatically launch at start up. Because of this, spyware, malware, and adware will often bury their own files into your Windows registry so that they automatically launch every time your start up your PC.

Because your registry is such a key piece of your Windows system, you should always backup your registry before you make any changes to it. Editing your registry can be intimidating if you’re not a computer expert, and when you change or a delete a critical registry key or registry value, there’s a chance you may need to reinstall your entire Windows operating system. Make sure your backup your registry before editing it.

Select your Windows menu “Start,” and click “Run.” An “Open” field will appear. Type “regedit” and click “OK” to open up your Registry Editor.
Registry Editor will open as a window with two panes. The left side Registry Editor’s window lets you select various registry keys, and the right side displays the registry values of the registry key you select.
To find a registry key, such as any AdvancedCleaner registry keys, select “Edit,” then select “Find,” and in the search bar type any of AdvancedCleaner’s registry keys.
As soon as AdvancedCleaner registry key appears, you can delete the AdvancedCleaner registry key by right-clicking it and selecting “Modify,” then clicking “Delete.”
Computer acting funny after you’ve edited your registry and deleted AdvancedCleaner registry keys? Just restore your registry with your backup.

How to remove AdvancedCleaner DLL files:
Like most any software, spyware, adware, and malware may also use DLL files. DLL is short for “dynamically linked library,” and AdvancedCleaner DLL files, like other DLLs, carryout predetermined tasks. To manually delete AdvancedCleaner DLL files, you’ll use Regsver32, a Windows tool designed to help you remove DLL and other files.

First you’ll locate AdvancedCleaner DLL files you want to delete. Open your Windows Start menu, then click “Run.” Type “cmd” in Run, and click “OK.”
To change your current directory, type “cd” in the command box, press your “Space” key, and enter the full directory where the AdvancedCleaner DLL file is located. If you’re not sure if the AdvancedCleaner DLL file is located in a particular directory, enter “dir” in the command box to display a directory’s contents. To go one directory back, enter “cd ..” in the command box and press “Enter.”
When you’ve located the AdvancedCleaner DLL file you want to remove, type “regsvr32 /u SampleDLLName.dll” (e.g., “regsvr32 /u jl27script.dll”) and press your “Enter” key.
That’s it. If you want to restore AdvancedCleaner DLL file you removed, enter “regsvr32 DLLJustDeleted.dll” (e.g., “regsvr32 jl27script.dll”) into your command box, and press your “Enter” key.

Hello pbarr,

What happened to you appears to have been a rare yet very pesky bug in CF, there is a repair tool we can run to fix the problem but please delete anything you downloaded in regards to combofix first.

Then please download and run the following tool: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/Beta/NetSvc_Repair.exe

Then please let me know if that got your network working properly again.

2007-12-17, 09:32

Rip.

I've got the fix you sent, but before I run it, any thoughts on how to rid myself of the advancedcleaner bug?

The searches I did didn't lead to anything. I don't have thier software installed just the popups that want me to buy thier sorftware.

What else can I send you??

Is there something I can put on which will catch programs trying to send data out?

Hello pbarr,

Is there something I can put on which will catch programs trying to send data out?
A very good firewall?

Something seems to have gone terriblly wrong during the running of combofix, let's attempt to restore some created backups.

If you have system restore active on your computer, I would advise you to restore it to a date before combofix was downloaded and ran. If this is not an option, do this instead:
Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\subs\ and double click on erdnt.exe

Reboot & post new logs

I do have system retore points however when I try to run system restore (or help or many other programs) I get the message

"System retore is not able to protect you computer. Please Restart your computer, and then try to run system restore again."

rebooting does not help.

Is there a way to run system restore from the command prompt?

__RiP_ChAiN_

2007-12-20, 17:35

Hello pbarr,

Try this:

Start the System Restore Utility (http://keith.geekstogo.com/systemrestore.htm) at a command prompt

1. Restart your computer, and keep tapping F8 during the initial start-up until you get options, select Safe Mode with a Command Prompt then press enter.

2. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.

3. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to an earlier state.

Look for the most recent system checkpoint created before the errors to restore from
