Thus ends the screenload of gibberish... err... helpful scan information.

I'll be hanging around most of the day till 3pm EST 2/25/06 if anyone sees something quickly.

:scratch: Man, where's this thing loading from, I can usually see them...

Thanx in advance,

Hello and welcome to the forum, this one looks like a real security issue:
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Shell] "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ibm00013.exe" see this: http://castlecops.com/startuplist-12204.html I note that CastleCops is showing it running from C:\Program Files instead of C:\Windows, but I would error on the side of caution were I you. This is what Symantec has to say:

It's pretty good, but something hasn't been gotten rid of. It's still asking for ibm00013.exe when I startup.

I'll run ccleaner again, to check things out.

Next suggestion?

Btw, hooks.exe loaded when I installed a software sculptors screen saver years ago. It's the most downright persistant program I've ever encountered, reloading itself even when you end task it. Never caused problems that I know of though.

I'll get it checked out like you suggest.

SRO
 
I understand, these infections come out a lot harder than they go in. I appreciate the information you have posted, but my instructions say this:

Search for this file: hooks.exe and once you know where it is, use one or more of these free online scanners to find out what it is:
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
Post that information for me as soon as you have it.
Click to expand...
If you are doing this now, I apologize, but it seemed from your comments that you had given me the information I requested. If you are not doing so, please follow those instruction and post the information as I asked...Thanks.
 
Oh I know I know ^_^ I'm going to do that.

I did a system search, found a few things off the bat.

There's a line in my system.ini file that reads

[boot]
shell=explorer.exe ibm00013.exe

also it says the word ibm00013.exe exists in my user.dat, though I've looked through the regestry for it, I'd point out anything I found, but I don't see it in regedit.

Would the system.ini file line be what's giving me that ibm00013 file not found?

Also what should I do about the ibmXXXX.dll's I find?

As I said I'll get that hooks.exe info as soon as I can, but can't stay on the computer longer right now.
 
Windows98 is not fun to work on because all of the new tools will not run on it. I posted this item for removal:
O16 - DPF: {4FA66240-5917-4815-A856-1D53ADB9EC92} (PBRegIns Control) - http://211.133.137.134/activex/pbregins.cab
and it is still there??? If you know it, that is fine, but at least make me aware. If I remove an ActiveX by mistake, it will be put back the next time you visit the site. Unless you know what that is, please use HJT to remove it.

Before I drag out a lot of old slow online scans, let's try this:

Use search to locate: ibm00013.exe then navigate to any instance search finds and delete it. You may need to do this in safe mode: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html

See if you can fix this final item, you may also try running Issues in CCleaner if you have not yet, follow the backup instructions. If it is a leftover registry entry, CCleaner may remove it. If you can kill it, post to let me know and I will have some great safety information for you.

Thanks...Phil
 
Jotti's gave me this on Hooks.exe

File: HOOKS.EXE
Status: OK
MD5 9ffdb88a43d7047505b209572e4d20c2
Packers detected: -

and a whole lot of "found nothing"

Looking at the file it's dated 3/15/1995, I'm betting if something was wrong with it, it should have been heard of by now... of course of course, the date could be wrong, but I found it on the cd I loaded it from initially with that date.

CClean isn't finding anything left to fix. I've located ibm00013.exe in the regestry under

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}\ContainingTextMRU

and as usual it has a corresponding

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}\ContainingTextMRU

The file is no longer there, the dll's are around. Given what we've done so far would it be in your opinion safe to remove the system.ini and regestry key values?

If so, how high up the regestry key should I go? Do I just remove the value? Or the (containing text mru) key, or the {C4EE etc etc?}. I've run through some prescribed reg hacks to fix things before, but they were always tried and true fixes from a place like symantec and I don't have the experience to know what was already there and what was added by the infection. I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.

I have no clue about the O16 - DPF: {4FA66240-5917-4815-A856-1D53ADB9EC92} (PBRegIns Control), where it came from or what it's doing. I'll run the hj program again on it, and tell you next time if it stays or if I just missed checking it the first time through.
 
Ah...this is when I want to run ewido and it does not run on Win98. Let's look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=142298 Read it all over before doing anything, I got a little random with my response:scratch:

I would also like you to make sure your recycle bin has not been bypassed. When you go in it, clean out any old stuff from before we started:
RIGHT click on the recycle bin and choose properties. It should, by default, be set to "Use one setting for all drives"
Make sure the box "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted IS NOT CHECKED. Make sure you have space for deleted items, I keep my bin set at 5%. Now when we delete the file or folder, it will be moved to the bin and can be restored IF we make a mistake and need it back. I hope this helps.

Making sure to back up the registry: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/199762382617

I just had a thought, Ad-aware removes the MRU items which are not a problem anyway. Open Ad-aware and update it first. Then run the scanner. When finished check the box in front of any bad items and also the MRU list. Once it is done, check to see...those MRU items in the registry should be gone. You can then save the above information in case you ever need it.

Yes, move them to the recycle bin and let them set there for a week or so just to be sure.

This one: Hooks.exe
Btw, hooks.exe loaded when I installed a software sculptors screen saver years ago. It's the most downright persistant program I've ever encountered, reloading itself even when you end task it. Never caused problems that I know of though.

Every since you said what you did about the screensaver (one of the fastest ways online to get infected is to download SS's without first cheicking the files for problems) I have worried about this file. If you would, please use the other two free online scans to take another look at this one. Do you still use that ScreenSaver?

I have no clue about the O16 - DPF: {4FA66240-5917-4815-A856-1D53ADB9EC92} (PBRegIns Control), where it came from or what it's doing. I'll run the hj program again on it, and tell you next time if it stays or if I just missed checking it the first time through.
Click to expand...
So you will know, any 016 DPF (activex plugin) can be removed and then if you visit the site again you will be prompted to download it again before you could use the service. So, delete any you do not know or no longer use. You can also delete those at IE > Tools > Internet Options > Settings > View Objects > highlite > delete.

Restart when finished and post a last HJT log and let me know how things went and how your computer is running.

Thanks...Phil

I'm not seeing that pb active x, I must have just missed it the first run through.

I ran hooks.exe through all three sites, then ran an apparent companion file hooksdll.dll through the same sites. No virus's detected. I do still use the screen saver, on occasion. It plays videos and the increase in resolution over the years has made those videos a tad small.

Looked over the files, ad-aware still didn't notice those mru entries, though it listed all the others. Used microsoft's walkthrough to backup the regestry then get rid of the mru values, and removed the suspect line from system.ini

I no longer get the error message upon opening windows. IE, which was slowed horribly during the trojan is now back up to speed.

I thank you very much.

If there's anything else you need just let me know. I've so appreciated your support.

OK SRO this sounds good. Here are a few links that I have found to be handy:

might not all apply to ME though, and since your HJT log appears to be clean of malware, Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
