Adware issue...

[Neon Knight]

I have a nasty adware issue. Popups relentlessly annoy me during my surfing =[

I haven't downloaded anything other than music.

Anyway, I have scanned using fully updated Adaware personal, spybot S&D, and Sophos antivirus, and all they can find is Tracking Cookies. And after I remove them, if I do another scan, they reappear.

I have NO suspicious processes running under my username.

I will post a hijackthis log n a few minutes.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

hi Neon Knight,

thanks for the info, i was hoping the panda scan would help clean it up. looks like you have some cracked software/keygens in there.

first to show all files do this:

FOr XP: on the desktop double click my computer,go to tools>folder options>view> then select "show hidden files and folders", then UNcheck "hide protected operating system files " also UNcheck "hide extensions for known file types" click apply to all folders, apply then ok

next look in add/remove programs file and uninstall if present:
Adwareremover
SaveNow
whenusearch
SystemDoctor
if not there, dont worry about it.
-----------------------------------------------------
locate each of these files and delete them:

guitar pro 5 crack.zip>>C:\Documents and Settings\David\My Documents\
n00zn00zn00zn00z.rar[Setup.exe]>>C:\Documents and Settings\David\My Documents
Setupadware remover.exe>>C:\Setupadware remover.exe

look here: C:\WINDOWS and see if you can find and delete each of these files:
chk.exe
RGF2aWQ\l3IZuqk.vbs
slx.exe
--------------------------------------------------------------
last do this:
Empty your Temp folders. Go to Start > Run and type:cleanmgr. Windows will scan. When done check these 3 and press *ok* to remove:

Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin
----------------------------------------------------------------
rerun avg antispyware, save and post the log from it

did you install these two on your computer?
messenPass
cain and abel

[Neon Knight]

Adwareremover
SaveNow
whenusearch
SystemDoctor

None were present.

guitar pro 5 crack.zip > Deleted.
n00zn00zn00zn00z.rar > Deleted
Setupadware remover.exe > Deleted

C:\WINDOWS:
chk.exe > deleted
RGF2aWQ\l3IZuqk.vbs > could not locate, even after search.
slx.exe > could not locate, even after search.


Empty your Temp folders. > Done.

rerun avg antispyware, save and post the log from it. Currently scanning, will post in a few minutes.

did you install these two on your computer?

MessenPass - I downloaded and installed this program to recover my MSN password which I had forgotten.

Cain and abel - I downloaded and installed this program to recover various other internet passwords I may have forgotten.

I noticed alot of files I couldn't locate to delete....is this a big problem?

[Neon Knight]

Sorry about the double-post, but I will post the results of the AVG antispyware tomorrow as I need to sleep. :red:

I'll leave it running overnight. :bigthumb:

hi Neon Knight,

thanks for the info. look in your add/remove programs panel for:
OIN and uninstall if present.

and this one:
DAEMON Tools and uninstall if present

if you dont see OIN in the list click this link and download the uninstaller:
http://www.purityscan.com/uninstall.html
---------------------------------------------------------
next see if you can find and delete:

WindowsUpdate located here>>C:\Program Files
DAEMON Tools >>C:\Program Files
ookf>>C:\Program Files\Common Files
WindowsUpdate>>C:\Program Files

shelf life

[Neon Knight]

All done....downloaded uninstaller (couldn't find in add/remove), removed all files mentioned...

Is that it? Should I post another AVG antispyware report?

[shelf life]

hi Neon Knight,

yes, rescan with avg and post a new log to see if anythings is left. your popup problem, better now?

I'm sad to say that my adware problem has not gone....it's subsided a little, but after a while, it just came back.

Also, I should have mentioned this earlier, :red: but I keep getting a random "windows installer is loading" message and when I click cancel it crashes..

I am going to assume that it's re-installing all of the malware that was previously destroyed...

Although this was happening before I tried to get rid of the problem...

hi Neon Knight,

lets try running avg in safe mode. you can reach safe mode by tapping the f8 key during a computer restart. chose the first option on the list: safe mode. once in safe mode run avg antispyware.

also still in safe mode see if you can locate and delete these:
kyzewepe.html located>>C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer
!submits>>C:\
---------------------------------------------
please post the saved avg report, and also since its been awhile rescan and post a new hjt log so we can compare it to the older one.

hi Neon Knight,

thanks for the logs. some of that stuff avg is flagging is in your system restore volume and your recycle bin. you can empty the recycle bin. we will make new restore points later.

see if you can locate these:
rpcc.exe>>located here>>C:\WINDOWS\system32
Setup.exe >>here>>C:\t.rar

try a search for this file:аti2evxx.exe located here:
C:\!submits\ICROSO~1.NET\

do another scan with avg and post the log please. you can edit out the cookies if you want.

I edited out the cookies.

A few nasty trojans appeared....I have no idea how they got there..

And I keep getting a window waying "windows installer is preparing to install" and it just stays there for ages until it eventually goes away. I found windows installer in add/remove programs and it looked very dodgy...it had strange numbers and letters in the name, I removed it, restarted, and it was back in the list again...

What happened, a few weeks ago, is that windows installer stopped working, so I went to the internet, and downloaded a version of it to replace the one on my computer. that's when it all started happening. And it's seriously slowing down my gaming, making it minimising it for windows installer, making it lag, crash, etc.

I think that was wrong. Lol.

hi Neon Knight,

looks like whats left either as been quarantined or is in system restore points. anything in quarantine dont worry about, in fact you can delete the items if you want.
for the rest we can clean out the old restore points and make new ones like this:

1. Turn off System Restore. (deletes old possibly infected restore point)
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.(new restore points on a clean system)
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK, then reboot

[Neon Knight]

I assume then I should post another AVG antispyware report?

[shelf life]

sure post another one.
