Massive PopUps and other spyware infection

Looks like we got that one, It has a habit of returing so keep an eye out for this O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winsync], if it returns let us know.


Do any files show when you run Look2Me-Destroyer ? , if so post its log

Installing Ewido would be a good idea
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Its a trial but you can still update and scan and clean with the program when it ends
 
Okay, will watch for Qoologic to return, thanks.

Look2Me-Destroyer is clean.

Ewido --
17 adware related registry entries deleted
The 6 Qoologic files in a c:\!killbox folder ?
A billion tracking cookies and some viral related files in the temp internet files directory. 295 items in total.

All that before I gave up reviewing each item. :p Do you need me to report the scan log?
 
Everything seems fine in all scans today. It looks as if we killed everything.

There is still one peculiar problem that I'm having. Throughout all the trouble that we were fixing, I noticed that Norton Auto Protect was disabled and would not enable. When we finished, I unstalled that program and installed a newer version of our corporate version. Auto Protect will still not enable. I engaged Tamper Protect and when I rebooted the last time it showed the process being shut down and seemed to indicate that it was a file "ACS.exe" that did it. In an google search, it indicates that the file is related to WIFI (this is a laptop with built in wifi). There is one hit that indicates the file is related to a worm that shuts down AV programs. The files is in the wrong location (windows/system32) for where it should be if it were the virus and no scans indicate the file is viral (trend micro online scan, norton scan). But, I can not seem to get the auto protect to stay enabled.

Any suggestions? A fresh HJT log:

Hi Lonnie,

I just ran the tool and it shows the computer as being clean from that virus.

Here is the message I am getting from Norton:

SYMANTEC TAMPER PROTECTION ALERT

Target: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SNDSrvc.exe
Event Info: Open Process
Action Taken: Blocked
Actor Process: C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\Loader\aolload.exe (PID 3808)
Time: Monday, February 27, 2006 8:49:51 AM
Click to expand...

This morning there were 36 of them, the "sndsrvc.exe" changes to different Norton associated files. On friday, the "aolload.exe" was the ACD.exe file.

Both ACD.exe and aollload.exe come up clear when I scan them directly.
 
Do you use a Atheros Wireless LAN adapter ?

Sounds like norton is confused and possibly corrupted
while disconnected uninstall it reboot install again, if you have a choice go with another program, avg, antivi or avast all have free version's..
 
Yes, there is an Atheros Wireless Lan adapter installed in Device Manager. So, that process is valid. You must be right about Norton being corrupt. I uninstalled Norton and gave put on AVG. Everything looks good at this point, no re-occurrances of the other stuff. Thank you for all your help! I'm going to return the laptop to my friend. Hopefully I won't be back needing help for this machine for a looooong time!
 
As the problem appears to be resolved this topic will be archived.
If you need it re-opened please send me a pm and provide a link to the thread.

Thanks Lonny. :)
