hi alx21,

first we will use hjt, then download and run ewido anti-malware.

scan with HJT, put a checkmark beside the items below, close all windows and click fix checked.

-------------------------------------------
next get and run ewido:
1. Download Ewido and install
Ewido anti malware. It is a free trial version of the program:

http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

2. Install ewido anti malware
3. Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
4. The program will now go to the main screen

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.

1. On the left hand side of the main screen click update
2. Then click on Start Update

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
If you are having problems with the updater, you can use Ewido manual updates


Once the updates are installed do the following:

1. Click on scanner
2. Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
3. NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.**
o You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
o If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
o DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
o If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
4. Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
5. Click Save report.
6. Save the report .txt file to your desktop.

Now close ewido security suite.
---------------------------------------
reboot and rescan and post anew hjt log............

Hi Shelf life

Thank you for your help and sorry about the delay. I have removed the recommended items that HJT originally found, completed an ewido scan (complete system scan;choose files by extension) without removing any objects, and scanned again with HJT. The results are set out below-

Hi Shelf life

The computer itself is running without problems. Two questions- I uninstalled Spyware Doctor weeks ago but it's still showing up on HJT. Is it safe to remove it with HJT? Secondly, I have denied internet access permanently to these unknown programs- cation; sadhlp.dll; vclnt.dll and one with an unreadable filename. All are 0 KB.

What would you advise?

hi alx21,

it all looks good to me. one thing:

go to start>run and type in--> services.msc,<--in the list of services that comes up look for>>Service Hosts (ServiceHost)

right click on it and select properties. under the general tab:
make sure that the service status is: Stopped
and the Startup type is: disabled


shelf life
 
Hi Shelf life

I have now disabled Service Hosts from an automatic start-up (the service status was already stopped). Thanks for all your help. I am relieved my PC was not as infected as I feared- the false positives meant I could have deleted anything without informed advice. One more thing, Spybot always finds 3 entries of Command Service after scans, but this is not really bothering me as the PC is running OK. Should I just ignore it?

Thanks once again.
 
hi alx21,

that cmdservice is just a harmless leftover. update ewido and avast. boot computer into safe mode, then run ewido and avast in safe mode.
reboot normally, pick out one of these and do a online scan or two:

BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php
check AutoClean under Scan Options.

Panda ActiveScan
http://www.pandasoftware.com/produc...5D4-4DA2-B310-B1DBEC2971F2}&NRCACHEHINT=Guest

Kaspersky virus scanner
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Housecall at TrendMicro
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
check Auto Clean.

F-Secure virus scanner
http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml

eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner

-------------------------
rescan with hjt and post anew log please.........
 
Scans completed

Hi Shelf life

I have carried out the scans as directed. Ewido (safe mode) found the same malware from my previous post, avast (safe mode) found no infections. Trend Micro's online scanner found 6 malware and cleaned all except two named ADW_SE. I have attached my new HJT log, along with Kaspersky's scan results.

How safe is it to have this new java programme running permanently on the PC? Is there a way to de-activate it and then re-activate when I need it for a Trend Micro scan? Many thanks.

hi alx21,

look in add/remove programs panel for anyhting called:
Zeno or elite media group, and run the uninstaller if present.

looks like you have the latest java version, its ok to leave running permanently.
its only used to interact with some web pages.

all of these:
C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{

are in your system restore archives, which we will clean out when everythign looks good.........shelf life
 
Hi Shelf life

Zeno and Elitemediagroup are no longer present in Add/Remove progams, so Trend Micro (which I ran after Kaspersky) must have uninstalled them. What is present is Media Tickets by OIN, which I have not deleted because Trend Micro left it behind. I also have Yazzle Sudoku in Avast's quarantine, but I'm not sure whether to delete it permanently or not.

Should I now proceed with cleaning System Restore (safe mode) by this method- switching it off, rebooting and then switching it back on again, and then delete all System Volume Information related trojans in Avast's quarantine?

If you confirm this as the way to proceed, I will then run Kaspersky afterwards and post the scan results with a new HJT log.

Thanks.
 
hi alx21,

look in add/remove programs panel for Media Tickets and uninstall if present.
delete anything in Avast's quarantine also.

update and run spyware doctor once more.
i think you will be good to make new restore points now.
turn off system restore, reboot (deletes archive)
turn on, reboot (makes new clean restore point)

rerun Kaspersky and post one more hjt........
 
Completed scans

Hi Shelf life

I have completed the instructions and the results are set out below-

Thanks.

hi alx21,

good. ok lets try 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
----------------------------------
then look for and delete these:

folder(?) called i located in C:\WINDOWS\system32 dir

unirimon.exe process in C:\WINDOWS\system32 dir

if they give you problems when deleting, reboot computer into safe mode. you reach safe mode by tapping the f8 key during a restart. chose first option safe mode.

OR; use hjt, start hjt, click on ";open misc tools section" click on "delete afile on reboot, browse for one of them, double click it. hjt will prompt you for reboot. then go back and do other file same way

shelf life
 
Hi Shelf life

Sorry about the delay as I was away over the last two days and thank you for your patience. The files 'i' and 'unirimon.exe' have now been deleted (HJT,
safe mode). I also double checked to ensure that 'i' did not exist as a folder. My new Kaspersky scan results are below.

In the meantime, since Internet Explorer is the Kaspersky's default scanning browser (I always use Firefox otherwise), what security measures would you recommend whilst scanning? I already have Spyware Blaster installed, and since all other anti-virus applications have to be shut down for Kaspersky's to work properly, do you reckon this is the way by which new stuff keeps coming in e.g. the new stuff in Sys Vol Info?

Many thanks once again.

Hi again Shelf life

It has just occurred to me that the 'new stuff' in Sys Vol Info may actually be System Restore remakes of the last two viruses I deleted (the extension data0001 is familiar), which means Kaspersky's scan may have given me the all clear! I have posted a new HJT log below which I hope do not contain any new infections.

Thanks

hi alx21,

good,that last hjt log looks ok. dont see many people using processguard.

applications have to be shut down for Kaspersky's to work properly, do you reckon this is the way by which new stuff keeps coming in e.g. the new stuff in Sys Vol Info?
Click to expand...
no.

since Internet Explorer is the Kaspersky's default scanning browser (I always use Firefox otherwise), what security measures would you recommend whilst scanning
Click to expand...
i think you will be ok to disable your resident av, scan, then re-enable it.

i think you can make new restore points now. here is some reference material for you:

Be careful of what you download, and where you download it from. Many programs come bundled with extra software.You may be installing more than you think. Make sure you understand what it is you will be downloading and installing to your computer. Visit the makers website, learn more about the program, Does the program you want come bundled with other "3rd party" programs? What do the 3rd party programs do? Will they deliver ads? Track your surfing habits?. Read the EULA agreement, you know, that paragraph of stuff you "agree to" before the software installs? If you search hard enough you can always find a "clean" alternative to any software. Stay away from warez and crack sites. Becarful what you download from file sharing networks. If you are not sure, scan it with your Antivirus app. A small file (in KB) is probably not what you think it is. DO YOU TRUST THE SOURCE?

Make sure you keep your Windows OS current by visiting Windows update
occasionaly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. With out these you are leaving the backdoor open.

Adjust your browser settings: Change your(active x) settings in IE. With IE open go to tools, internet options, security tab. Click on the internet globe, then custom level. Set the first option "download signed active x controls" to prompt, the next two to disable. Read more:
Internet Explorer Privacy & Security Settings
Working with Internet Explorer 6 Security
Many exploits are directed at Internet Explorer, you dont have to use it. Try a different browser. You can have and use more than one browser on your computer.
Like Firefox,


Install a Firewall:A firewall will control what comes in from the internet and what leaves your computer to the internet. A firewall will also alert you when a application trys to connect to the internet from your computer, this is a good way to catch crapware or trojans, trying to connect out bound from your computer- whats that and why does it need a internet connection? You can deny it access it until more investigation is done. Zone Alarm is a free and easy to use firewall, that will provide in and outbound protection. Microsoft XP firewall only provides inbound protection. SP2 adds in and out bound protection which is better than nothing, but is not as robust as third party firewalls, Be sure to run only >one< firewall.If you use another, be sure to disable XP's built in firewall. If you use Zone Alarm learn what needs/uses your internet connection. If something unusal or out of the ordinary "asks" deny it access until more investigation is done.
Zone Alarm
OutPost Lite

Outlook Express with the default settings is not secure. It will run scripts, download images etc, just like a browser. You dont have to use it.
look here
and here
Or try Pegasus Mail, safer by default,no tweaking needed.

Make sure you have and keep updated Antivirus software
Free for home users:
avast! 4 Home Edition Download
AVG free version 7.0
AntiVir Personal Edition

Download one or two of these, install and update before using:(if these are constantly finding malware, then you need to make changes to your browser and or your habits)
CounterSpy Free trial version
Spybot Search and destroy
Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Microsoft Windows Defender
Becarful with spyware "removers and scanners"-- there are many "rogue/suspect" programs that "claim to remove" spyware.Check here first.

AntiTrojan software to fill in the gap:
a2 free
Ewido Anti-Malware
Trojan Hunter (30 day trial version)
Tauscan trial version

Other programs to consider:
Process Guard stop events/processes with user intervention
SpywareBlaster add security to IE
IE-SPYAD adds adware peddlers sites/domains to IE restricted zone
CleanUp cleans out temp files,history, autoforms etc
ATF cleaner (W2K,XP only) cleans out temp files, history etc

Thanks for your help

Hi Shelf life

I have now restored a new point. Process Guard, I guess, can be a tricky application, but for me, so far, so good. Overall, this malware removal exercise has been a great learning experience, and not only do I have a clean HJT log to use as a benchmark for suspicious applications, but I have also learnt the importance of seeking advice before deleting anything.

Your guidance has been priceless. Thank you so much!
