pipas.a/wareout ? help? please?

[Silent Badger]

Hiya guys and girls,

Im brand new to the forums so hope you dont mind me starting off by asking for help? these came to light as my antivirus kept detecting things.

My general symptoms are
Had some problems with my comp for a few days now, mostly things appearing in the "startup" that i know should not be there, to date i've disabled, hgqhp.exe / iehelper.exe / carrida.exe / dialer423 / dtours.exe and dmaen.exe.
The last file appeared in my antivirus too(AVG) as a "reading error" and once id disabled it (in msconfig startup) and restarted my comp, another "thing" appeared called dmvqz.exe which appears in both AVG and my msconfig startup. I assume that there could be a never ending circle of this happening.
All these "things" seem to stem from my system32 folder

Spybot contiually finds a problem called pipas.a, fixes it, but again it reappears after a restart

Panda freescan identified 1 virus (which it fixed) 18 spywares and 3 diallers, but AVG, adaware, or Spybot do not find them, niether can i find the associated paths manually.

Is a startup thing called nwix.exe a possible problem? opinion seems divided on google.

i did a hyjack log thingamajig

Any help would be very much appreiciated as this is doing my head in.
Thanks.

[Silent Badger]

Is there any other info i can provide which might help to shed light on matters?

[Silent Badger]

in other threads this is often given as advice?

"Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...Fixwareout.exe
Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal."

is this safe in my case? i have a bad habit of jumping the gun when it comes to comp fixes and worsening the problem,

[illukka]

hi

would it by safe to delete all the activescan stuff manually? (if i could fnd them)
i thought i'd kept a nice secure clean computer :(
thanks for all this help.

[illukka]

hi

do you have any spyware scanners installed? like spybot, adaware?
i suppose that a scan with those in safe mode should remove all dialers

one line in the log still requires a fix with hiajckthis

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{8606EC58-7947-49B2-896F-7CEE0EF57550}: NameServer = 85.255.113.194 85.255.112.98

fix that line, reboot and post me a new hjt log

[Silent Badger]

Fixed that line, here is the new log..

hi

lets try another online virus scan

go to http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

let it scan your computer, and disinfect its findings

it will show a log once finished, copy /paste the text from the report into notepad and post here

[Silent Badger]

bit defender found nothing at all, so there was no log im afraid :(

[illukka]

hi

open hiajckthis

checkmark/fix this item with all browsers and explorer windows closed

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{8606EC58-7947-49B2-896F-7CEE0EF57550}: NameServer = 85.255.113.194 85.255.112.98

reboot


Note:
If You have connection problems or those 017's ~ O17 - HKLM~ 85.255.116.103,85.255.112.198, return =>
Before doing this write down all the settings, Note that not all system/setups even have these settings, while some connection service's will require them.
In the windows control panel: If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double click on Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl, and left click on properties. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically


post a fresh hijackthis log when done
Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.
That option might not be available one some systems

[Silent Badger]

Hiya again

done the hjt bit again but it made no difference, i currently have no connection probs so didnt make the second change and when i checked the properties tab it listed under TCP/IP it listed:-
85.255.113.194 as my preffered DNS
85.255.112.98 as my alternate
does this mean that line 017 in the hjt report may be ok? or that its very very bad :)

exactly :wink::



heres the list, what about changeing the DNS server setting to "obtain automatically" cause i never actually did try that?

thats what you need to do next. i wanted to see the list to check if there was an antispyware app that automatically restores these settings

something there still:
you have an out of date version of spybot s&d
click the download link at the top of this forum
uninstall the previous version and install update and scan with the new version
allow it to fix the red entries

[Silent Badger]

downloaded and fixed all the bits recommended by spybot, rebooted, then ran HJT, line 017 had vanished,
then went to "properties" of my connection the i.p's listed were
85.255.113.194
85.255.112.98
changed it to obtain dns servers automatically and logged on to the internet, ran HJT and line 017 had reappeared :(

line 017 only appears when i am connected to the internet, could it be something written into my dialler? could try reinstalling from the orig disk if i could find it, if that might help?

[illukka]

Download and Save Blacklight (http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml) to your desktop:

Double-click blbeta.exe then accept the agreement, click > scan then > next

You'll see a list of all items found. There will also be a log on your desktop with the name fsbl.xxxxxxx.log (the xxxxxxx stand for numbers).

Copy and paste this log in your next reply. Don't choose the rename option yet! I want to see the log first, because legitimate items can also be present there, such as "wbemtest.exe"

[Silent Badger]

[Silent Badger]

relooking at your last post, im not actually with Tiscali, but at least its in the UK not Ukraine so good job!

hi

i suppose you're on a subsidiary of tiscali then

anyway a clean log:


Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
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.

You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:

Managing Windows Millenium System Restore (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial63.html)

or

Windows XP System Restore Guide (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html)

Reenable system restore with instructions from tutorial above


Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
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 Initialize 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.

Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topict405.html)


Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.


Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

Understanding and Using Firewalls (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial60.html)


Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com (http://www.windowsupdate.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 Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.

A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial43.html)


Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.

A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial48.html)


Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial49.html)


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.

here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety

IE/Spyad (https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm) <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
MVPS Hosts file (http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
Google Toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com/) <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
Winpatrol (http://www.winpatrol.com/) <= Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software (http://www.winpatrol.com/features.html)

also remember to keep your java updated, see this topic for instructions
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=2559

As the problem appears to be resolved this topic will be archived. :)

If you need it re-opened please send me a pm and provide a link to the thread.

Glad we could help, thanks illukka
