Popups/Misc Problems

[BlackMoon]

Hi.

First I would like to say that I ran a couple online scanners and had them clean up what they could, I also entered safe mode and ran SpyBot S&D. In addition to that, since the problems still didn't go away, I created a Boot CD and ran SpyBot S&D and AdAware and deleted everything it caught. Surprised to find that I still received a pop up! My computer used to be EXTREMELY slow while all this was going on, but it is speeding up a bit now after I did all that.. but I still think things are slowing it down, and I still got a pop up or so. I did disable a bunch of things in the startup tab in msconfig (I was getting paranoid) that looked suspicious and havn't had a popup yet. Here's my Hijack this log...

Any help after 12 hours of battling this would be VERY appreciated!! Thank you, I will respond quickly. You can guarantee it.

Again, thank you.

Just as a quick note to my previous post, I just received a few popups. The things I disabled must not have done the trick.

As for the popup ad, as much as I love my mother... I don't think I want to buy her flowers online. Sorry FTD.com. In one of the bottom parts it mentioned "Web Nexus", I think that's doing it. Perhaps others. There were a lot of problems, including SurfSideKick 3 and some "Network" and "Command" thing. It all came at once, I am overloaded and exhausted... I am at a loss of what to do.

Welcome BlackMoon


Download Brute Force Uninstaller (http://www.merijn.org/files/bfu.zip) to your C:\
Unzip it to a folder of its own (C:\BFU). So BFU should be on your root. In most cases this is C:\
Download qoofix.bat (http://downloads.subratam.org/Lon/qooFix.bat) (rightclick on this link and choose save as)
Place qoofix.bat in your C:\BFU - folder. (Important!)
Doubleclick qooFix.bat, Close all browsers and explorer folders.
Choose option 1 (Qoolfix autofix) and follow the prompts.
Please be patient, it will take about five minutes.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me with this.

Launch Notepad (not wordpad), and copy and paste the contents of the code box below into a new text file.
Save it as file name: "fixme.reg" (not including the quotes). Save as file type: All files (*.*) and save it on your Desktop.


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"="iniwin32.dllxxx"

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3643ABC2-21BF-46B9-B230-F247DB0C6FD6}]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run]


Now double-click on the fixme.reg file you saved and click on the Yes button when it asks if you would like to merge the information. Once you get a successful message delete fixme.reg.

Restart your PC.

Hi.

C:\Documents and Settings\BlackMoon3\My Documents\M?crosoft.NET\javaw.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\BlackMoon3\My Documents\oracle\w?auboot.exe

These didn't seem to exist. I didn't find any files in these folders, but I deleted both folders just to be safe.

C:\WINDOWS\cfg32p.dll
C:\WINDOWS\cfg32o.dll
c:\WINDOWS\ijbzpsvo.exe

I was also unable to find these, they may not be there.

The contents of:

C:\Program Files\common files\kuqq are:

"\kuqqa.lck" 0kb
"\kuqqh" 2kb
"\kuqql.lck" 0kb
"\kuqqm.lck" 0kb
"\kuqqd\class-barrel" 4.8mb
"\kuqqd\vocabulary" 1.2mb

I don't know what any of that is. I have left it alone for now.

The contents of:
C:\windows\kuqq are:

"\kuqq.dat" 3kb
"\wu" 150kb

And c:\windows\QmxhY2tNb29u did not exist (First I looked, then did a search)

Here is my Hijack log. So far so good, speed is good and havn't had a pop up, yet.

Your log looks good, any problems ?

C:\Program Files\common files\kuqq <delete folder
C:\windows\kuqq <delete folder

You will probaly have to set windows to show hidden files folders in order to see this one
c:\windows\QmxhY2tNb29u
>click here for instructions if needed<. (http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html)
let me know what its contents are

[BlackMoon]

I deleted the two folders you mentioned. I found the hidden folder, it was empty, so I deleted it as well. I ran S&D and it found some things like Zenosearch and Hotbarsearch (or something), it was able to supposedly clean everything. I ran a full system scan with XoftSpy, it found nothing. I ran full system scan with AdAware, it found and got rid of the following:


ADWARE.DIRECTOR

I followed all that up with another S&D which found nothing. Despite those things being found in Adaware/S&D, computer seems to be running decent. Here is another logfile after I removed all that.

I installed many of the various programs mentioned in that article, including ZoneAlarm and AVG. I also followed your directions with the system restore. I did do an AVG scan and it found some viruses associated with what I have been trying to fight. Scans now come up clean and things seem nice, thank you.

[BlackMoon]

I wrote something in Microsoft Word then copied and went to paste it in a new email in Outlook Express when this error came up.

"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."

Then, I don't know if this is a direct correlation to the error-- I emailed what appeared to be a normally spaced email to somebodies hotmail account, who when they received it looked as if there were two or even three returns after each paragraph. Testing further, if I made it so there's no spacing between paragraph in the email I sent, it then looked normal to them. Testing even further, if I create a new email and just type it (No copy/paste) and type it what appears normally to me, it appears normal to them. That leads me to conclude the spacing has a direct correlation with the error above.

How can I fix this? The only ActiveX things I changed was in the guide, I set the two things to "prompt" in Internet Explorer --> Internet Options --> Security

[LonnyRJones]

You could Experiment by changing one setting at a time back to the way it was untill there is no OE problem.. ;)

I keep ours at
Run activex controls and plugins
x enable
script activex controls marked safe for scripting
x enable

But then we do not visit un-known websites
