XP freezes + C:\Program Files\Common\helper.sig

Two symptoms:

1) Since about 4 months, if I watch about 8 YouTube videos, my entire computer freezes, requiring a hard-ware reset/power-off. In both IE and Firefox. Downloading .flv file and watching on VideoLan player (vlc) is OK.

2) Since a few days ago, folder\file "C:\Program Files\Common\helper.sig" opens up on reboot. Date of folder "C:\Program Files\Common" is 5/3/2009 (May 3).

What I did before posting:

a) Downloaded and ran ERUNT to save "System Registry" in default location.

b) Downloaded and ran HijackThis.exe for "Do a system scan and save a logfile" -- log attached below.

(In case it helps, I have BitDefender.)

Please help.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification.

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
  • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
    1. DDS.txt
    2. Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.
 
dds.txt followed by attach.txt (I think I should paste attach.txt to this forum even though dds said to zip and attach.)

Notes:

1) Log is attached below.

2) Mbam said to "press restart" to remove two .dll files it found; I did so.

3) On reboot, the folder for "C:\Program Files\Common" showed up (folder was empty since mbam had removed the helper.sig file it used to contain).

4) Here is the "Last Write", "Last Access" and "Creation" dates for the three files detected by mbam:

Last Write Last Access Creation

  4. Press Execute and let the program do it’s job. (You ought to see a progress bar if you did this correctly.)

Wait for the complete script execution box to pop up and press OK.
Press exit to terminate the BFU program.

Does the folder still open up on startup?
 
Notes:

1) No folder showed up on reboot!

2) I have watched some videos and the computer has not acted like it was going to freeze.

3) When I had the symptom of watching videos resulting in the computer freezing, I did <ctrl-alt-del> and monitored the memory used by FireFox. I noticed that the amount of memory used would increase from about 125 Megs to over 400 Megs. I find that this increase in memory is still happening (FireFox version 3.5.3). So is there any other bad thing still in the computer? Since I just rebooted, memory used by FireFox went from about 117 Meg to current value of 149 Megs. It is almost midnight here; I will leave the PC on and check the memory usage in the morning.

Thanks for all your help. Despite that above "memory leak" type issue, the computer seems much better now.

Hi,

That's actually pretty normal for Firefox (I have often several hundreds of megabytes in use).


Let's update some of your vulnerable software to more recent versions.

Uninstall old Adobe Reader versions and get the latest one (9.1 + updates 9.1.2 and 9.1.3) here or get Foxit Reader here. Make sure you don't install toolbar if choose Foxit Reader! You may also check free readers introduced here.


Uninstall your current Adobe shockwave player and get the fresh one here if needed.

Check here to see if your Flash is up-to-date (do it separately with each of your browsers). If not, uninstall vulnerable versions by following instructions here. Fresh version can be obtained here.


Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update to the latest version...

Updating Java:
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 16.
  • Click the
    Download
    button to the right.
  • Select Windows on platform combobox and check the box that says:
    Accept License Agreement. Click continue.
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u16-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version. Uncheck Carbonite online backup trial if it's offered there.
 
Was able to do some, not all, of the tasks:

1) Used Windows Add/Remove Programs to uninstall everything related to Acrobat Reader, rebooted, verified it was not listed in FireFox plugin, and installed latest version.

2) FireFox Add-ons -> Plugins tab does not have uninstall button. It appears from this FAQ that FireFox does not want people uninstalling plugins! Since I could not uninstall the older version, I have not done anything about the Shockwave player yet.

3) Flash was current in FireFox but old in IE. Removing it from IE removed it for FireFox too. Had to then reinstall separately for IE and FireFox. Verified that I now have the current version in both IE and FireFox.

4) In Windows Add/Remove Programs, uninstalled everything related to java, and rebooted. Although "Java Platfrom SE 6 U11" and "Java Platfrom SE 6 U14" are both gone from the FireFox Plugins list, "Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.140.8" is still present. So I have not yet installed the latest java runtime environment.
 
Hi,

To get rid of plugins related things in Firefox the quickest way is to reinstall the browser.
 
Some progress:

1) I installed the latest Shockwave. But the plugin in FireFox did not get updated. So I un-installed Shockwave and disabled the plugin.

2) I installed jre-6u16-windows-i586; happily, the plugins in FireFox got updated too; they now are: "Java Development Toolkit 6.0.160.1" and "Java Platform SE 6 U16 6.0.160.1".

Now for hopefully the last issue, which I have noticed only once: Task Manager showed that both searchprotocolhost.exe and searchfilterhost.exe were running and consuming 100% of CPU. Is this normal or caused by some "virus"? (I do not use Windows' search indexer; I use "classical" search.)
 
Hi,

That behaviour is not caused by virus. Looks like similar thing described in this topic.
 
First a correction: The "Shockwave Flash" issue is actually resolved normally: Both "Shockwave for Director 11.0.0.458" and "Shockwave Plug-In 3.0.40723.0" are gone; all that remains is "Shockwave Flash 10.0.32.18" which is the latest version.

1) Should I be concerned that the "trojans"/"whatever" I had on my computer recorded my key-strokes and sent them to "their master"?

2) Could they have uploaded some files from my PC to "their master"?

3) Googling for "helper.sig", "mst122.dll" and "mst123.dll" does not have hits from security software sites (such as symantec etc.) -- so are these not wide-spread viruses? Why didn't the bit-defender catch them (it is kept updated)? Does only malwarebytes have the signature for them?
 
Sorry, I had to add (4 and 5):

Click to expand...

4) Although the folder "C:\Program Files\Common" and the file "C:\Program Files\Common\helper.sig" entered my PC on 12/22/2008, it was only recently that the folder "C:\Program Files\Common" started showing up on reboot. Why the delay? It was seeing this folder on reboot that made me suspect a virus.

5) Before the folder started showing up, the only symptom I had was that the computer would freeze after watching about 10 streaming videos. I incorrectly attributed that to memory leak in the browser and not to virus. What's the connection between the "trojan"/"whattever" I had and streaming video -- what was it trying to do while the videos were being streamed?
