View Full Version : tapi.nfo spybot and hjt wont run, really annoying audio ads in the background



halfconcept
2009-09-12, 08:45
Windows xp service pack 2, dell latitude d600 1.4ghz pentium M with 512mb of ram.

So it all started when we left our laptop alone with a 12 year old kid who likes to play games online and god knows what else, when we got it back later that day it was running REAL slow....and then these insane audio ads came out of no where...random audio comercials for shampoo products and other random products.


so i started downloading all those programs i used to use....spybot, comodo and hijack this.....comodo scanned the whole drive and quaranteed some things, and then deleted em.

so now the audio ads are gone...and everything is okay except for when you turn on the comp you get a error running a dll "tapi.nfo " which i am sure is related to malware as other people have mentioned it with similar symptoms to mine...

heres the other really weird thing....SPYBOT will not open at all for some reason hasnt a single time since i dled it on this laptop. neither will the install file for highjackthis. the teatimer does function however it uses 100% cpu power until i shut it off.

heres the last suspect issue....if you open internet explorer (we never EVER use ie, only ff and sometimes chrome) although im sure the kid that causes all our problems did it in IE because her games require ie....well theres all these search results for random stuff like FHM GIRLS....scour.com search results for random things like "kitchen remodelling" "searchdiscoverweb" "primosearch" "xmlsearchgeek" all this random stuff....every single day in the history all these results ever since we got the laptop back...


so i know normally you guys like a highjackthis thing but i cant do that....any help would really greatly be appreciated because it seems im still infected here....this malware has turned my computer into a spammer for someone. and im tired of them making money off me and im tired of it not allowing me to use spybot ! which ive always loved using for many years.


thank you so much in advance and ill do anything i can to help resolve this issue.

also i cant open avast, althoug unlike hjt and spybot which give no error (they just dont open, i double click and i see the mouse turns into a timer but no program ever opens.) for some reason avast tells me Windows cannot open the specified device path or file you may not have appropriate permissions to access this file.



well for one thing there is only one user for this laptop, and it has admin privls so i presume this is the malware in action

I also have a gamer file here, hopefully it will help:

Hi halfconcept

One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud? (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10451)

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10063)

We can attempt to clean this machine but i can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post
