I cant run the programs mentioned there because the computer is airgapped and the IP is banned and thus cant get back on the net till I have it fixed.

the other miniscule problem is that I have 2003 server running on this computer and combofix dosent seem to like it.

ideas and sugestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Hello Aaron, first let me apologize for missing the fact that this is not Windows XP and right you are, combofix will not run on it. It's a shame when I cannot use one of the best tools for cleaning out malware:sad:

Second, I will ask that you do not quote me, we can both look back to see what I said, thanks.

Having said that, let's try it manually and see what happens.

1) How to make files and folders visible:
Click Start > Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck: Hide file extensions for known file types
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.

2) Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/25/2/
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

3) Start > Control Panel > Add Remove programs. Uninstall ipwins, PuritySCAN By OIN, OIN or OuterInfo. Also uninstall any other program you know does not belong there. If you are unsure let me know and I will look. If you don't see any of that, run this uninstaller:
http://www.outerinfo.com/OiUninstaller.exe

4) Please also remove C:\VundoFix.exe from your computer. It may be that we will need the tool but will need to download it fresh because of how fast vundofix changes.

5) We need to end the running process on this installer:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\{90394A0C-05F9-1033-0618-030110200001}\Update.exe
follow these directions:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html#HTProcessManager
Highlite the item and Kill the Process so we can manually delete it a bit later.

6) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

O3 - Toolbar: Safety Bar - {fbea0445-4c4a-4136-864a-c72a4a182a84} - C:\Program Files\Safety Bar\SafetyBar.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IpWins] C:\Program Files\ipwins\ipwins.exe

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

7) RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these items:

C:\Program Files\ipwins\ <<< delete that folder

C:\Program Files\Common Files\{90394A0C-05F9-1033-0618-030110200001}\Update.exe <<< delete that folder

8) Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Now please navigate to here: C:\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe <<< point at the .exe and choose rename, call it anything you wish, even aczlan,exe.

Restart the computer an post a NEW HJT log, let me know about any problems you are having.

Thanks...Phil

Java has updated again to 10, please see this information:
http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=12880&postcount=2
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\ <<< update to the newest version and uninstall any old version on your computer.

 

[aczlan]

ok

followed your instructions, 2 problems
1. the link to OiUninstaller dosent work but I dont see anything out of the ordinary anymore in program files

2. ATF Cleaner does not run on 2003 Server (however I told Firefox and IE to wipe all data except saved passwords dont know is it has the same effect)


also I am still seeing 1 or processes that look odd (sometimes there is one some times there are two and if you stop them they come back unless the svchhost processes that they are under is suspended) any how that is what the screenshot is of


thanks

[aczlan]

woops

here is the log and the screenshot

wont let me upload the screenshot it here so I put it up elsewhere

 

[pskelley]

Sorry about the uninstaller not working, I wanted to test it but my setting won't let me and I could not see changing ActiveX settings to do that.
If you still need it there is a PurityScan uninstaller at this link:
http://www.spywareremove.com/removePurityScan.html

from the "Before you Post" information:

Please do not attach infected files!
If a helper requests files they will give you a link to upload them.
All logs should be copy/pasted into topic and not attached unless requested by helper in that format.
Thank you for your understanding.

I do not open attachments unless I request them, please copy/paste a HJT log so I can see how we are doing. As far as ATF-Cleaner, it does not run on your O/S. (I am wondering what does?)

Seems CCleaner that I often use will work on your system:
http://www.ccleaner.com/versions.aspx
http://www.ccleaner.com/
When you clean the registry "Issues" make sure you follow the prompt to back it up first. Use the tutorial to do a good cleaning.

also I am still seeing 1 or processes that look odd (sometimes there is one some times there are two and if you stop them they come back unless the svchhost processes that they are under is suspended) any how that is what the screenshot is of

Just post the name of the processes.

Post your uninstall list also please:
Open Hijackthis.
Click the "Open the Misc Tools" section Button.
Click the "Open Uninstall Manager" Button.
Click the "Save list..." Button.
Save it to your desktop. Copy and paste the contents into your reply.

And the HJT log by copy/paste method.

Thanks...Phil

Still some work to do. In your uninstall list:

AVG Anti-Spyware: Deactivate the Resident Shield
- Before proceeding, deactivate the "Resident Shield" as this may prevent changes to the registry.
- To do this, click "Change State" to the right of the Resident Shield option in the main window.
- You will clearly see the status change to Inactive if you have done this correctly.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {35F7813A-AF74-4474-B1DC-7EE6FB6C43C6} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\drhnuenw.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8473F503-9DFB-40CA-99EE-98E2509C2B26} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\iiihe.dll (file missing)

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"
Restart the computer and run a scan with
AVG Anti-Spyware using these instructions:

Make sure to restart again after the scan removes any junk it finds (save that report) then:

Post a new HJT log and the report from AVG Anti-Spyware. Let me know of any problems at that point.

Thanks...Phil

OK Aaron :bigthumb: from what I can see you should be good to go. How is that computer running now? Any problems?

Does Windows 2003 have a system Restore? Here is the available Google:
http://www.google.com/search?source...-16,GGLG:en&q=Windows+2003+and+system+restore
If there is no system restore move on, if there is, turn it off reboot and turn it on.

AVG Anti-Spyware is a good program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
