• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Like several others on this forum I have been infected with Pipas.A and can't seem to get rid of it. Bearing in mind I am not very technically minded with computers can anyone help me out?
 
Hello paulga,

Welcome to Safer Networking Forums :)

* Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
  • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
  • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
  • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
  • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
  • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Thanks,
tea
 
Thanks for your help I have downloaded Hijack This but cannot seem to launch it for some reason. I keep getting the "Error starting program" message, "A required .DLL file, MSVBVM60.DLL, was not found". Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
 
Thank's for that, here is the log I got.

Hello,

Yes, that's perfect. :)

About:Buster 6.04
Please download About:Buster from here:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/aboutbuster.php

Unzip to a convenient location such as C:\AboutBuster. Navigate to the folder you unzipped the files to and double click on the file named AboutBuster.exe. Finally, select Begin Removal and the removal process will commence.

If it produces a log for you, post it for me in your reply, please. :)

Please run HijackThis! and click "Scan." Place checks next to the following entries, if present:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,SearchAssistant = about:blank
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [resagnt] C:\WINDOWS\restun.exe

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\VxD\MSTCP: NameServer = 85.255.115.20,85.255.112.81

Close all browsers and other windows except for HijackThis!, and click "Fix Checked".

Navigate to and delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\restun.exe
C:\WINDOWS\timer.exe

Reboot your computer.

* Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe
  • Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
  • This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
  • Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.
  • Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
  • Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
  • Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
  • When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:
    check.gif
  • If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:
    move.gif

    This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
  • After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
  • Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
  • Close Dr.Web Cureit.
  • Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
  • After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously, along with a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

Thanks,
tea

I hope these are the results you were after and thanks again for all your help, paulga.
 
Hi Paul,

How is it running after doing those scans and fixes?

I'm sure you know, but just in case :

Effective July 11, 2006, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me were transitioned to a non-supported status. After this date, Microsoft no longer provides any incident support options or security updates. Existing support documents, however, will continue to be available through the Microsoft
Support Product Solution Center Web site.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx

Let me know how it's running please. :)

tea
 
Thanks

Yes thanks a million for your help, everything is now working fine.
