Winfixer Pop-up's (+ Virtumonde)

[Gimme a Break - the DVD]

I have pop-ups from Winfixer but I don't know if the application is installed. (I also have Virtumonde).
On PCmag's website, they have links for Winfixer Removers. Does anyone know anything about those?

Here's my HJT Log:

hi Gimme a Break - the DVD,

i would reselect these in bho demon before using hjt, just to make sure theres no problems between hjt and the disabled bho's

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

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {13a12d2b-73cc-4958-8223-1fcbe1339773} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\xfvtujgq.dll (disabled by BHODemon)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {9027ee51-d391-45f1-a754-26f5c818043d} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\xfvtujgq.dll (disabled by BHODemon)
-------------------------------
reboot once, rescan and post a new hjt log..........

 

[Gimme a Break - the DVD]

I downloaded "BHO Demon", 1st time using it. I think I had disabled them with Spybot.
So I enabled all BHO's. Is that correct?
That first BHO you listed isn't disabled now, but the next one(Microsoft Money) is. Here's the BHO's after enabling:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {13a12d2b-73cc-4958-8223-1fcbe1339773} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\xfvtujgq.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {243B17DE-77C7-46BF-B94B-0B5F309A0E64} - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\mnyside.dll (disabled by BHODemon)

Which one should I fix?

 

[shelf life]

hi,

just enable the 3 i listed, (end in xfvtujgq.dll) then select them in hjt to "fix",
just to be sure theres no conflicts with hjt and bho demon.

 

[Gimme a Break - the DVD]

I got it.

hi,

that last log looks good. some reference material:

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.

Also download, install and keep updated- Antivirus Software (and use only one):
Free for home users:
avast! 4 Home Edition Download
AVG free version 7.0
AntiVir Personal Edition

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.
Like Firefox,
And Pegasus Mail for a safer e-mail, no tweaking needed.

Outlook Express with the default settings is not secure. It will run scripts, download images etc, just like a browser.
look here
and here


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
Kerio Personal Firewall
Outpost Firewall
Sygate Personal Firewall
Tiny Firewall
BlackIce



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 AntiSpyware (beta version)
Becarful with spyware "removers and scanners"-- there are many "rogue/suspect" programs that "claim to remove" spyware.Check here first.

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 temps,history, autoforms etc

AntiTrojan software to fill in the gap:
a2 free
Ewido Security Suite
Trojan Hunter (30 day trial version)
TDS-3 trail version discontinued as of 07/05
Tauscan trial version

Watch 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?

 

[Gimme a Break - the DVD]

Thanks.
Winfixer and Vurtumonde don't come up in scans any more. Is it all taken care of?
I heard that Winfixer installs on it's own. I guess not in my case.
