Can't Remove Look2Me

[bithead]

OK, thanks. In the meantime...

1) Immediately after importing the killqoo.reg file, the settings are changed back to their pior values. Something is keeping a close watch on things, it seems.

2) After running Avenger and rebooting the first time, after logging in, Explorer never runs -- I get to a blue "desktop" screen, but no icons, start menu or task bar appear. The same occurs in Safe Mode, except the screen is black rather than blue. I finally figured out that I could...

* Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to get Task Manager running
* Choose File --> New Task (Run...), to run Explorer.exe

After the above, Avenger processed its script. And now I have rebooted again, but Explorer still isn't running after login -- I have to manually run Task Manager and start Explorer to get a desktop -- any ideas on fixing this?

Oh, and the following simply will NOT go away:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Currentversion\Winlogon\shell = Explorer.exe, F:\WINNT\System32\rbjef.exe

Even if I manually edit the entry to remove all but Explorer.exe, if I immediately refresh it, the rbjef.exe is back. Is this why Explorer will not run after login?

Here is the Avenger log and the latest HJT log...

Lets try the following Regedit.

Please copy the following text in the quotebox below to a blank Notepad file. Make sure the filetype is set to "All Files" and save it as Fixqoo.reg to your desktop.

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\internet explorer\extensions\{4abf810a-f11d-4169-9d5f-7d274f2270a1}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\classes\folder\shellex\columnhandlers\{ce3a44d8-bc88-4d62-a890-42d96245f8d6}]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\LDVPMenu]
@=-

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{incert HKCR\*\{BDA77241-42F6-11d0-85E2-00AA001FE28C}]

Now double-click on the Fixqoo.reg on your desktop and allow it to merge with registry by clicking YES on the prompt. Post back with a fresh HijackThis log.

And FWIW, I still have to run Explorer manually after logging in. :(

[Rawe]

Ok.. Lets continue.

Please print these instructions out, or write them down, as you can't read them during the fix.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only.

Do NOT run it yet!

==

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

==

Once in Safe Mode, please run a scan with HijackThis and check the following objects for removal if present:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = about:blank

Now close ALL other open windows except for HijackThis and hit FIX CHECKED. Close HijackThis.

==

Navigate to, and delete the following files/folders if present:

F:\WINNT\System32\rbjef.exe
F:\WINNT\System32\shellbn.exe
F:\Program Files\rmda\

==

Please run ATF-Cleaner:

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  Under Main choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser

• Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.
  NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser

• Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.
  NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

==

Reboot normally and post back with a fresh HijackThis log, please.

[bithead]

Here is the new HJT log. As you'll see, much of the stuff I removed is still present. I think this is due to logging in with different profiles. The infected profile is a domain account, and is the one I use when booting normally. When booting to Safe Mode, I can't access the domain account since there is no network support. Consequently, all of the HKCU listings are not present when running HJT in Safe Mode.

Should I repeat your last instructions, but using Safe Mode with Networking Support so I can login as my domain user to clean things up for that account?

Oh yeah... Explorer launches OK now after login! Also, I figured out why it was not launching. I copied and pasted this line as it was provided and imported it into the registry:

"Userinit"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\userinit.exe,dvqiqyw.exe"

But on my system, I should have changed "C:\\WINDOWS\System32" to "F:\WINNT\System32". Live and learn... :p

[Rawe]

Hmm.. Rather clean on the normal mode with this account and see if anything is fixed.
