    Default IE not working/Networking disabled

    Our second laptop has symptoms that make me suspect there is a virus. For starters, my wife is not tach savvy and i see unusual icons on the desktop, but the issue we have is that IE is not connecting to the internet wirelessly.

    Her wireless card reports that it is getting a strong signal from the modem, but when IE is opened, it cannot access the internet. Our ISP provider says that there is likely something wrong with the software or hardware interface (windows isn't recognizing the wireless card) and when i click her home page, it lists a "W3."-something rather in address bar, but it is not highlighted (it's gray) and IE says it cannot connect to the internet. I called a local computer repair place thinking there might be a hardware issue and they said it is highly unlikely the motherboard would be damaged but rather an issue with the software.

    Additionally, the computer runs very slow and so that is also suspicious to me.

    So below is the dds log and attach file of that computer for your review.

    p.s. i see a program file she has called "yontoo layers" and that doesn't register with her. There is also a shortcut on her desktop to "Malware Protection-Get it Now!" but i don't recognize that either.

    She did have AVG running but i don't know how well she maintained it (updates, etc)

    Thanks much in advance

    Please read Before You Post
    While best efforts are made to assist in removing infections safely, unexpected stuff can happen. It is advisable that you back up your important data before starting any clean up procedure. Neither Safer Networking Forums nor the Analyst providing the advice may be held responsible for any loss.

    Until we deem your system clean I am going to ask you not to install or uninstall any software or hardware except for the programs we may run.


    If still no internet connection you will have to download these programs from a known clean computer and transfer them by disk to this one. Your log does not look to bad but I am concerned about you saying that a malware protection program wants you to download it. I believe Yantoon is related to Facebook but i will look into that further.

    Its possible malware has played around with your internet connection, lets run a few programs and if you still cant connect I will link you to a networking forum to help you get back online




    Download TFC to your desktop
    • Close any open windows.
    • Double click the TFC icon to run the program
    • TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
    • Click the Start button to begin the process.
    • Allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
    • The program should not take long to finish it's job
    • Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
    • if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean







    Please download Malwarebytes from Here or Here

    • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
    • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
    • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected .
    • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
    • Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot.
    Post the report please






    Download aswMBR.exe ( 511KB ) to your desktop.

    Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it

    Click the "Scan" button to start scan


    On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply



    Post back with the Malwarebytes log and the log from aswMBR

    Good Morning,

    Even though Malwarebytes is outdated it still didn't find anything bad, aswMBR checks for rootkit type of infections and it didn't find one.

    This is from the extras part of the DDS log

    Lets try flushing out your DNS Cache and resetting it

    Copy and paste these lines into Windows Note pad.


    @Echo on
    pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
    attrib -h -s -r hosts
    echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
    attrib +r +h +s hosts
    popd
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns
    netsh winsock reset all
    netsh int ip reset all
    shutdown -r -t 1
    del %0


    Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Double click to run.
    *** note: Win Vista and Win 7 need to right click and choose to "run as Administrator" .. the computer will reboot itself.




    Download the HostsXpert 4.3 - Hosts File Manager.
    • Unzip HostsXpert 4.2.0.0 - Hosts File Manager to a convenient folder such as C:\HostsXpert
    • Click HostsXpert.exe to Run HostsXpert - Hosts File Manager from its new home
    • Click "Make Hosts Writable?" in the upper left corner.
    • Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts file and then click OK.
    • Click the X to exit the program.
    • Note: If you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself.



    Let me know if this helped

    Hi Ken

    I ran the flush and the system rebooted but no change after that.

    Then i ran the hosts file and got the following message:

    your HOSTS file is marked as a "system file" and can NOT be manipulated. Press OK to remove the file attribute, CANCEL to quit.

    ***HostsXpert Will NOT reset these Attributes***

    ok Cancel



    I wasnt sure what to do so i hit Ok

    i followed your instructions from there but i didn't understand or don't know what you meant in your "note" about having to re-enter custom file entries myself.

    I re-booted again and still no internet connection.

    Is it odd that the connectivity issue says that the computer says the "network did not assign a network address to the computer" when i click on the wireless network connection status in the tool tray?

    this seems so odd that this is happening; we never had connectivity issues before.

    Good Morning,

    Thats fine about the hosts file, unless you where being redirected when you had a internet connection we will just leave it be, let me know because we can fix it if need be.

    c:\program files\freeze.com\netassistant\NetAssistant.dll
    I see this as questionable, I would uninstall it via Add Remove Programs in the Control Panel

    I am leaning towards a problem with Netgear, most of us forums work together, I would like you to post in this other forum for Networking, I am sure they can pinpoint the connectivity problem, as we just do malware removal on this one. You can link them to this thread so they can see what we have done and I will find you on that forum and offer any advice they may need, once they get you up and running then post back here and we can check your system further to guarantee its clean.

    Hi Ken

    Paws was great help on the other forum and was able to get me back up and running with an internet connection. It appears that there was some conflict between the wireless card software and the Windows software. We are defaulting to the windows software for management of the wireless connection since it is working fine.

    Is there anything else we should do on this end regarding computer clean up?

    Thanks

    Loopy
