I just bought a brand new dell notebook that arrived Tuesday this week. It came with a 3 yr McAfee virus subcription.While viewing a site my comp notified me of a virus found and that was the beginning of the maddness. Despite countless virus scans it seem to find nothing. I now realize that this red box alerting me to the virus and the flash yellow alert are a part of the infection. Because when I click them they try to take me to 1 of 3 fraud anti virus site. I found out the hard way by down loading one of them it was winpro2006 or winviruspro2006. Even though McAfee kept turning up nothing I knew something was wrong, So I installed aol spyware It oncassionaly blocks a file but the pop ups are still on my comp ( literally a red cirle and slash is always ways flashing above my windows xp help and suport icon at the bottom right of my screen). AOL Spy ware found Vundo Trojan on my system but couldn't delete or quarantine it. AOL spy ware has also found instances of Real spy 2.8 and Trojan Downloader.Win32.Zlob.ci(sorry it doesn't show me the rest of the title) Which It can't delete. I've also run Spy bot, ad-aware se, and etrust pest patrol in safe mode and have had no luck finding anything . I also noticed a new program listed called cowa banga, that I don't remember being there beforeand that I'm afraid to touch. I appreciate any help you can give. Here's my Hijackthis log.......

I followed the instructions. the flashing icon is gone:D . one thing though is there a chance when I reset my web settings, tgat i disabled aol. Aol loads but doesn't go past step 1, because it doesn't sense aa connection, whether I'm hooked up to wifi or broadband. Also just as I was about to send this email McAfee found 2 "Dialer-gen" (win3F0.tmp)PUP's on my comp(that didn't appear in all my previous scans, I clicked to remove them,so hopefully it's really gone.here are my reports...

hi MzFusion,

glad to help. two more things.

scan with HJT, put a checkmark beside the items below, close all windows and click fix checked.

O20 - Winlogon Notify: ddcyw - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddcyw.dll (file missing)
------------------------------------
start hjt, click on 'open misc tools section"

then click on "delete a file on reboot"

in the file name window, copy and paste this:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winjyg32.dll

then click on open, you will be prompted to reboot computer.
--------------------------------------
resetting your web settings shouldnt have any effect on aol

After the last post I sent I ran S&d, Ad aware, and ewido on safe mode. I've just finished following the instructions in you post now. Should I purge the S&D backup's in recovery(windows security center.antivirusdisablenotify and wild tangent) and do you think it's possible the removal of wild tangent is why my aol isn't working? And that weird progam "cowabanga by OIN' is still in my progam files, it has an uninstall option(is it safe to use it). Heres my HJT log and again thanks so much

hi MzFusion,


Should I purge the S&D backup's in recovery
they are safe in there, but you can purge them out if you want.


do you think it's possible the removal of wild tangent is why my aol isn't working
no i dont think so.
wild tangent is one of those fuzzy/gray apps, some call it spyware others dont. visit there website, read the privacy policy link down at bottom.


why my aol isn't working
is that your AOL browser? ive never used it, but if you click on it in the add/remove programs panel there may be a option to repair it. or uninstall it, reboot and reinstall it


cowabanga by OIN' is still in my progam filesyes, run the uninstaller via the add/remove programs panel.
--------------------------------
run hjt and have it fix this:

hi MzFusion,

good. that last log looks ok. you have a squared and ewido, they are both alot alike in what they do. i would keep just one and uninstall the other via add/remove programs panel.

if all is good i leave you with some reading material:

Be careful of what you download, and where you download it from. Many programs come bundled with extra software.You may be installing more than you think. Learn more about the program, Does the program you want come bundled with other "3rd party" programs? What do the 3rd party programs do? Will they deliver ads? If you search hard enough you can always find a "clean" alternative to any software. Stay away from warez and crack sites. Becarful what you download from file sharing networks. If you are not sure, scan it with your Antivirus app. A small file (in KB) is probably not what you think it is. DO YOU TRUST THE SOURCE? Check this database:Spyware Guide (http://www.spywareguide.com/) or this one: Library (http://research.sunbelt-software.com/Browse_Library.cfm)before installing free/shareware.

Make sure you keep your Windows OS current by visiting Windows update (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp)
occasionaly to download and install any critical updates and service packs.

Adjust your browser settings: Change your(active x) settings in IE. With IE open go to tools, internet options, security tab. Click on the internet globe, then custom level. Set the first option "download signed active x controls" to prompt, the next two to disable. Read more:
Working with Internet Explorer 6 Security (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/howto/security/settings.mspx)
Many exploits are directed at Internet Explorer, you dont have to use it. Try a different browser. You can have and use more than one browser on your computer.
Like Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/),


Install a Firewall:A firewall will help to control what comes in from the internet and what leaves your computer to the internet. Zone Alarm is a free and easy to use firewall, that will provide in and outbound protection. XP firewall dosnt block outbound traffic. Its important to know/learn what routinely needs a internet connection.
Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=dbtopnav_zass)
OutPost Lite (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php)
Jetico Personal Firewall (http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirewall.htm)
Look n Stop (http://www.looknstop.com/En/index2.htm)

Outlook Express with the default settings is not secure. It will run scripts, download images etc, just like a browser. You dont have to use it. Windows SP1/SP2 updates have made some improvments to Outlook. Another reason to stay updated.
look here (http://www.codecutters.org/outlook/)
and here (http://www.tames.net/security/oesettings.htm)
Or try Pegasus Mail, safer by default,no tweaking needed. (http://www.pmail.com/)

Make sure you have and keep updated Antivirus software
Free for home users:
avast! 4 Home Edition Download (http://www.avast.com/eng/free_virus_protectio.html)
AVG free version 7.0 (http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/)
AntiVir Personal Edition (http://www.free-av.com/)
Clam Win (http://www.Clamwin.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/)

Download one or two of these, install and update before using:(if these are constantly finding malware, then you need to make changes to your browser and or your habits)
CounterSpy (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/)Free trial version
Spybot Search and destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)
Ad-Aware SE Personal edition (http://www.lavasoft.de/)
Microsoft Windows Defender (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)
Becarful with spyware "removers and scanners"-- there are many "rogue/suspect" (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm) programs that "claim to remove" spyware.Check here first.

Dont be tempted to click on popup ads offering free scans or free downloads for malware removers. Read the above line again.

AntiTrojan software to fill in the gap:
a2 free (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/)
Ewido Anti-Malware (http://www.ewido.net/en/)
Trojan Hunter (30 day trial version) (http://www.misec.net/)
Tauscan trial version (http://www.agnitum.com/products/tauscan/)

Other programs to consider:
Process Guard (http://www.diamondcs.com.au/processguard/) stop events/processes with user intervention
SpywareBlaster (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=49) add security to IE
IE-SPYAD (https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm#IESPYAD) adds adware peddlers sites/domains to IE restricted zone
ATF cleaner (W2K,XP only) (http://www.atribune.org/content/view/25/2/) cleans out temp files,history, autoforms etc

MzFusion as the problem appears to be resolved this topic has been archived. :)

If you need it re-opened please send me or your helper a private message (pm) and provide a link to the thread.

Applies only to the original topic starter.

Cheers
