Hi,
I have a WIN98 system that appears to be infected by this issue. As with all of the other threads I cannot seem to remove it. Can I be saved!!:sad:
 
Hi CliveG

Use this link to get HijackThis.
Save it to your desktop and then double-click to run it.
It will install the program in c:\program files\HijackThis.
Browse to that location with windows explorer, and double click on the HijackThis.exe program to run. Choose the 'Do a system scan and save a logfile'
That will allow you to save the log to the desktop (or some other place) and leave open a notepad file with the HijackThis log in it.

Now post your HijackThis log into this topic.

Hi

Open HijackThis, click do a system scan only and checkmark these:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WINXTX32] rundll32 WINXTX32.DLL,run
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Aubs] "C:\WINDOWS\adat\userinit.exe" -vt yazb

Close all windows including browser and press fix checked.

Please print these instructions out, or write them down, as you can't read them during the fix.

Please download MWav:
  • Unzip it to its predetermined directory (C:\Kaspersky)
  • Locate kavupd.exe in the new folder and double-click to Update.
  • If your firewall gives any messages about this program accessing to internet, allow it.
  • If it says the signatures are more than 30 days old, keep trying, until you get the actual definition updates.
  • When you see Updates Downloaded Successfully, hit Enter to continue.
  • Restart onto Safe Mode

    Delete if found:

    C:\WINDOWS\adat
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DDCAXUR.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\TTRGMXC.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RQONN.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\XXYAA.DLL

    Empty Recycle Bin
  • Locate the Kaspersky folder.
  • Locate mwavscan.com and double-click on it to launch the MWAV Scanner.
Now lets do the settings:
  • Leave the Default Settings checked.
  • Add a check to Drives
  • This will light up All Drives
  • Add a check to Scan all Files
  • Click Scan Clean to begin.
This scan might take around 3+ hours to finish when set to scan everything.
  • Please be sure it has finished before proceeding.
  • Once the Scan has finished, all entries identified as Infected, will be displayed in the lower panel.
  • Highlight everything that is inside the lower panel and hit Ctrl+C at the same time to copy.
  • Open an empty notepad file and paste the results (Ctrl+V) to it. Save the notepad to your desktop, name it as you want (e.g; MWav Results).
Reboot into normal Windows and post the results here along with a fresh HijackThis log.

Hi

Yes they are :)

Delete these:

C:\Clive\Hijackthis\backups\backup-20070223-114322-227.dll

C:\Downloads\BIGKAHUNAREEFSETUP-DM[1].EXE

Empty Recycle Bin

Otherwise looking good.

How are things running now?
 
yes things are running a lot better (I think!)

When I do a spybot search I still get Smitfraud-C.Toolbar 888. I'll also do a norton scan and MWAV scan as well.
 
Hi Shaba,
I have done spybot/norton/mvwav.... checks and all now seems clear. Many thanks for the support and I'll happily make a donation :bigthumb:

Thanks again
 
Hi

Then you're clean!

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
  • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
  • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
  • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
  • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
  • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
  • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  • Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources


  • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

    For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

    Understanding and Using Firewalls

  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

  • Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer
  • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety

  • IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Winpatrol <= Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
    Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software

Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints <--- where you can make difference!

The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

Also, please read this great article by Tony Klein So How Did I Get Infected In First Place

Happy surfing and stay clean!
