cmdservice and re-appearing cws problems

Yes, I am a first-time poster. Believe me, until the past week, I didn't realize how horribly difficult life could be without anti-spyware software, and if I wasn't a member of these forums. (TY, spybot ppls!!)

I, like many people it seems, also have command service problems. According to avast! antivirus, I have a couple of trojans and viruses, like "banmanpro.exe" (which re-appears not matter how I delete it). According to spybot, I have CoolWebSearch problems (which, no matter how many times I delete, comes back up again!!), and at one point I had "Error Safe" as well. The one thing I can't remove though, is the two registry Command Service:

Command Service: Settings (Registry key, fixing FAILED)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cmdService

Command Service: Settings (Registry key, fixing FAILED)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\cmdService

Command Service: Settings (Registry key, FIXED)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\cmdService

The one that is fixed, like CWS, always comes back up again. CWShredder at first kept on finding/removing cws.Yexe or something like that, but now it doesn't find any CWS problems at all, although spybot does. Also, it would occasionally change my homepage (it's not serious at the moment due to my constant scanning and deleting, but I'm worried it might get worse).

I don't know if there are any more sneaky things in my computer just waiting to kill me for another few days, but please help me clean this thing!! It's not just command service I'm worried about... viruses, spyware, adware scares me in general, and the avast! popup warnings aren't helping me soothe my nerves either... Please help!!!

This is my HijackThis log. Is there anything else I need to provide?

Thank you SO much...
 
Hi

You have very badly infected computer there...

First, before we get to the removal of entries in your log...

I see you have spysweeper ... so far this is the only program that I know of that will remove all traces of cmdService

update spysweeper, run it and post the log...

Ctrl-Alt-Del .. on the processes Tab ... under CPU what is the number for Winlogon

steam
 
Yes, I do have spysweeper. Unfortunately, it happens to be a trial version :( so I can't update it. It is likely the trial version won't get rid of cmdservice, as this seems to be pretty new-ish. However, I ran spysweeper (as well as spybot, cwshredder, avast! a few more times while I was at it, :D ) anyway.

This is the updated log:

Hi

Well that certainly looks a lot better...

I'd still like to see the spysweeper log

There are 2 more programs which I would like you to run ...and post the logs

Download ewido security suite install, update and run it.

Please set up as :-

1. When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".

2. Run Ewido --- When you run it for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.

3. From the main ewido screen, click on update in the left menu, then click the Start update button.

4. After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful")

5. You may need to manually update the definitions which you can get HERE

6. Exit Ewido. DO NOT scan yet.

boot into safemode...and scan with Ewido

7. Click on the Scanner button in the left menu, then click on Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while to run.

8. If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. We have been finding some cases of false positives with the new version of Ewido, so we need to step through the fixes one-by-one. If Ewido finds something that you KNOW is legitimate (for example, parts of AVG Antivirus, AOL pcAnywhere and the game "Risk" have been flagged), select "none" as the action. DO NOT check "Perform action with all infections". If you are unsure of an entry, select "none" for the time being. I'll see that in the log you will post later and let you know if ewido needs to be run again.

9. Once the ewido scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen called Save report.

Important - You need to click "Save report" and Save it to your desktop, or you wont have a log

reboot...

---
Please download & run blacklight Rootkit diagnostic tool from :-

http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml

click I ACCEPT

click download > save it to your desktop

then ...

1. Double-click blbeta.exe

2. Accept the agreement > click next

3. click scan

4. A list of all items found will be displayed, or it will say "No hidden items found"

if anything is found do NOT elect to rename or clean anything, as legitimate entries could be found - click close

5. if you see "No hidden items found" click next then exit

On your desktop you will now see a log file, it will look something like this fsbl-20060105183235.log

6. open the log file and paste the contents into a post here...


So that's 3 logs I need to see ...

Spysweeper
Ewido
Blacklight

Thanks so much for your patience in helping me, steam... it's greatly appreciated. :):):)
 
Hi jenny

My turn to apologise for the late reply... haven't been around for a few days... got mown down by a biological bug :eek:

Your log's are now clean... are your problems resolved ?

cheers

I'm pretty sure most of the problems (like the occasional popups) are gone. I will run spybot tomorrow and post again if it finds anything (or if it doesn't).

There is one slight problem I'm not sure if it is related to malware or not... but lately, I can't seem to change my desktop wallpaper to one of my own pictures using the "right-click" and "properties" way. When I click on "browse" and choose a picture I want to come up, and click "open", the browse screen closes but the picture doesn't come up on the list, so I can't select it and change it. To change my wallpaper, I have to open up the actual picture, and right-click and select "set as wallpaper" for the picture to come up on desktop. Is it a malware problem, or is it more likely some other thing wrong with the computer? It's not too much of a bother, but it'll be good if it can be fixed. :) Any ideas?
 
I could've sworn I posted this before already, but I guess it didn't work, since I don't see it appearing on this thread!!:

Hi

Download the attached zip file (to your desktop)

Unzip to reveal a reg file...

Double click the reg file and allow it to merge with the registry...

Let me know if it solves your wallpaper problem...

---
See if you can find this file on your computer :-

C:\WINDOWS\System32\service\explorer.exe

You are only looking for an explorer.exe file in this location...

Do you have a "service" folder in system32 ?

If you find it, please do this :-

Please go here :-

http://virusscan.jotti.org/

Upload this file from your computer :-


C:\WINDOWS\System32\service\explorer.exe

copy & paste the above bold line into the "File to upload and scan" box...

or click the browse button and browse to the file on your computer...

Then click the submit button


Post back the results

cheers

Wallpaper problem perfectly solved, thanks :)

As for the explorer.exe file, though:

I can't visibly SEE the "service" folder when I am in the "system32" folder, but when I type "C:\WINDOWS\System32\service" on the URL address thing the folder does come up. Here, I can only visibly see 2 files: 1 is a notepad file, and the other is a SAM file. No explorer.exe in sight.

Then, I tried putting up "C:\WINDOWS\System32\service\explorer.exe" on the website you gave me anyway, and they can't find the file at all either. So I'm taking a guess it either exists somewhere else or is not there at all??

Thanks,
Jen
 
Hi

Don't worry about the cmd service keys, they are just orphans in the registry...

is everything else Ok ?
