Winfixer and pop up problems - Please Help!

[gregryjo]

I have some sort of Virus that is frustrating me. It pops up in a Winfixer ad and everything I do to get rid of it seems to get it more and more aggressive.

I have downloaded the latest Java program and also downloaded Webroot spysweeper, but to no avail. Can anyone help? I would post my hjt log but the attachment feature on this site says that my HijackThis.exe: is invalid.

I am lost.

[gregryjo]

How do I post my HighjackThis.exe file so that it can be reviewed?

[gregryjo]

Maybe it's me but I don't know a thread from a spool
Can anyone idiot proof this for me?

Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.

[gregryjo]

Hello,
I did as you suggested but when the "Vundo fix will now close and reopen..." box appears, it never closes despite waiting over three minutes. I then press "ok" and then nothing happens again.

Please advise.

Gregryjo

[gregryjo]

I finally was able to run Vundofix (see previous thread) but when I click on "remove vundo" it says no files are found.

Also where do I find the file vundofix.txt? I need to post it to you.

Gregryjo

[illukka]

hi

it will be on your c:\ drive, C:\vundofix.txt to be exact

also post a new hiajckthis log, thank you

[gregryjo]

Here is my Vundo and hjt log.

Thank you whoever you are. I am most grateful.

Over the past three days computer is starting to freeze up and crash at start-up. My doom virus and Winfix dialog boxes appearing. Getting worse as time goes on.
Thanks in advance.

When VundoFix re-opens, click: Scan for Vundo
Once it's done scanning, click: Remove Vundo
A prompt asking if you want to remove the files appears, click: Yes
Once you click yes, the Desktop goes blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, a prompt to shutdown the computer appears, click OK
Turn the computer back on.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items, if still there:
O2 - BHO: DPCUpdater Object - {E291663A-2D6F-4B56-B9DF-AE239AEF6A5B} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmkhg.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: pmkhg - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmkhg.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: vtsqn - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtsqn.dll (file missing)



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

Restart the computer and post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HJT log along with your comments.

Speed and pop ups vastly improved. Thank you.

There is still a box named "Windows Registry Recovery" that pops up frequently. It states:

"One of the files containing the systems registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful."

Is this of any concern beyond an annoyance?

hi

great work there :)

the vundo trojan seems to be killed now :bigthumb:

however there still may be somthing, so :



Please download ewido anti malware (http://www.ewido.net/en/download/) it is a free version of the program.
Install ewido security suite
When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
Install background guard
Install scan via context menu

Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
The program will now open to the main screen.
When you run ewido for the first time, you may get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
Then click on Start Update.

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
(the status bar at the bottom will display ("Update successful")
If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update ewido.
ewido manual updates (http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/)

Once the updates are installed do the following:

reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


then launch ewido:

Click on scanner
Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
You will be prompted to clean the first infection.
Select "Perform action on all infections", then proceed.
Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
Click Save report.
Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.

Close ewido anti malware.

reboot back to normal mode, post the ewido report and a log from a fresh hjt scan

Illukka,

I followed your directions downloading Edwido Suite but encountered problems with the freeware due to the fact that I had previously downloaded the software a year ago. It says I must buy it, which is not a huge deal but if I can get the freeware...well, all the better, and I donate my money to your organization.

Any suggestions?
Gregryjo

[illukka]

hi

even if your trial has expired previously you should still be able to install the program, scanner only.

your previous install was likely version 3.00 ?

the newer version has been significantly improved

[tashi]

How is it going gregryjo
