    FAUST,

    Welcome to Safer Networking.

    Please read Before You Post

    We need it to have HJT in its own folder for backup purposes. I would prefer that you delete the older version and install the newer version by Trendmicro.


    Download and install Trendmicros Hijackthis

    Download the Trendmicro Hijackthis Installer, follow defauts and it will install in C:\Program Files\Trendmicro\Hijackthis and this is exactly where we want it to be.

    • Open HJT Scan and Save a Log File, it will open in Notepad
    • Go to Format and make sure Wordwrap is Unchecked
    • Go to Edit> Select All.....Edit > Copy and Paste the new log into this thread by using the Post Reply and not start a New Thread.

    DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.


    Your friends computer is very heavily infected with all kinds of garbage.

    Lets do this first.

    Your computer has been hijacked by the lovely people in the Ukraine, you are infected with Wareout.

    85.255.112.200 - 85.255.127.255
    Inhoster hosting company
    OOO Inhoster, Poltavskij Shliax 24, Kharkiv, 61000, Ukraine

    You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

    Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
    FixWareout Subratam
    FixWareout Lonny
    • Save it to your desktop and run it.
    • Click Next, then Install,
    • Then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
    • The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
    • You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
    • Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
    • At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again.

    Save the contents of the logfile C:\fixwareout\report.txt and post it into your next reply.

    Now lets check some settings on your system. For (2000/XP) Only)

    • Go to Start > control panel.
    • If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double click on Network Connections.
    • Then right click on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl.
    • Left click on properties.
    • Click the Networking tab.
    • Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically
    • Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.
      That option might not be available on some systems




    • Next Go start> Run type cmd and hit OK
    • Type in ipconfig /flushdns then hit enter
      (that space between g and / is needed)
    • Type exit hit enter




    Download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.
    • Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
    • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post the Combofix log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply

    Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall


    I need to see.
    1. Wareout Report
    2. Combofix log
    3. New HJT log

    Thanks for your help.
    I could see that it was heavily infected but didn't know where to begin as HJT logs give me a headache
    I'm working without direct access to this computer so it'll be Monday before I have the information.

    I've advised my friend to keep of the net as much as possible and am posting all reports from my own computer, but will pass all the information and relavant progams to my friend.

    New HJT? I only downloaded that version Tuesday, was running from a usb stick as my friend doesn't know much about computers and I'd written him a skipt to run HJT along with instrutions on how to do it.

    PS had him run RougeRemover first but doesn't seem to have done much good.

    I will post back as soon as I have more Info.

    Your HJT program from Trendmicro is current , I just need you to install it in its own folder. The changes we make to your system are related to the registry and we want to be able to access those changes and restore them if there is a problem. It would be easier for you to delete F:\HiJackThis.exe and the installer for the new download will install it in C:\Program Files\Trendmicro\Hijackthis. Another way around it is to go to Program Files and create a new folder and name it Hijackthis and Cut and Paste it into the new folder you just created. Either way, its your call.

    See you Monday.

    Just to keep you in the picture. My friend seems to be having a run of bad luck at the minute, his ceiling collapsed over the weekend so that's his main priority at the minute.

    As soon as he's sorted that he'll give me the info and I'll pass it on.

    Sorry for the delay.

    • Left click on properties.
    • Click the Networking tab.
    • Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically
    • Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.
      That option might not be available on some systems


    • Next Go start> Run type cmd and hit OK
    • Type in ipconfig /flushdns then hit enter
      (that space between g and / is needed)
    • Type exit hit enter
    My friends PC won't let him do these things it says he needs to contact his administrator even though he is the only user!

    He has no control panel on his start menu & I tried to get him to run it manually, "control netcpl.cpl" but it refuses, IPconfig also fails.

    Try this.

    It is quite possible that your DNS Service is not "running" (as in "Status" is not "started and running)

    • Go to Start> Run and type in services.msc then press Enter
    • Scroll down to DNS Client
    • Double-Click on DNS Client
    • Select to change the status to Start
    • OK your way out of the program.


    Now you can run your - ipconfig /flushdns



    • Next Go start> Run type cmd and hit OK
    • Type in ipconfig /flushdns then hit enter
      (that space between g and / is needed)
    • Type exit hit enter



    This computer sounds like it has some windows issues as well, when you log is clean I will direct you to some windows forums for windows problems.

    Post a new HJT log please

    I wondered if that was the case as it sounds like what my PC does, but I have disabled my DNS sever on purpose. But I doubt if would have as I don't think he'd even know where to find the services (unless it and the control panel where already disabled when he bought the PC from DELL).

    I spent an hour on the phone with him tonight working through the problems with him, but as he couldn't get these 2 things working I told him skip them and run the various programs anyway.

    I'll have the log files when I see him in the morning (at least these worked, except he now gets a runDLL error startup, unfortunatly he only gave me sketchy details about this but I asume it's something that has been removed that windows is still looking for).

    OFFTOPIC: I hate not being able to edit these posts my spelling sucks.
