So I went to one of those funny video sites.......mad popups and mad spyware.......

it changed my background, when i right click only options i have is video/screensaver

I used spybot, adaware, and m$ beta spyware programs, ran avg, found 2 trojans, i deleted them

now, out of randomness my comp is giving me diffrent spyware program adds, poping up....and giving me warnings in the task bar

here is my Hijack log, anyone able to help me clean it up would be so very greatfull

I've never really dealt with spyware like this, i figured a scan would get rid of it.......anyones help would be so very greatfull, and thank you

First off the scanners out there aren't that good, you will need to run multiple scanners.

Run scans with MS anti-spyware, ad-aware in safe mode. Delete anything they find.

Next run the hijack this log through a Hi-JackThis analyzer.

Remove the entries it IDs, again in safe mode.

Re-scan and post the HJT log.
 
it sposed to take over 10 mins? :p

still loading the parse

or am i doing it wrong?

ok its coming up in my task bar, "System warning, Spyware/Adaware Dectected"

the triangle warning sign, i cleaned all the hijack this files i was sposed to

when i double click that triangle, it comes up with an add about a spyware removel tool program to buy
 
It'll take some time to do anything in safe mode. Safe mode loads less drivers and is slower because of that, especially you'll notice the drive access will shoot through the roof due to the DMA mode on the controller.

Ignore any pop-up, it's likely the spyware has loaded a "spyware removal tool" as comical as that is... ;)

Will it run a scan or not?
 
Ive used all the scans in safemode, and in regular.........still pops up with adds for spyware.....

oddly enough, M$ spyware found 1.......spybot found 265, and thats from that one website..... dam me for googleing funny videos =/

any other ideas to get rid of it? and i did delete the Hijack this on that site.....and its still doing it :(
and also, i cant really ignore it, as its in my taskbar and it pops up every 5 mins

soulsaver
 
None of those processes are jumping out at me. The ones I didn't recogonize seem kosher.

What services are running on the box? Some spyware likes to install services instead of doing things in the run line/BHOs. You could install process guard, it's like a firewall of sorts for processes, you have to approve each one.
 
but how will i know which ones are ok to run? :p

and i listed all processes in first post.....i dunno which ones you want tho

oh you ment services.....sorry here

It doesn't know, you have to tell it. AKA, ID each process, approve it, see the effects.

Honeslty I haven't used it myself, I'd simply nuke the OS and load an image (I realize this isn't always available). However, it comes HIGHLY recommended. ;)

What should happen is, you will approve a process, and start seeing the pop-ups. Then you know the culprit.
 
i would love to nuke the os, to hell and back, but i have about 10 gigs of info i want to keep,,, pictures, few movies, and music.......and programs and such

and also, is this boot ini file ok? somthing doesnt seem right, is there somthing i should take off it it?

[boot loader]
timeout=4
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="L" C
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut
 
ok, i used that program, works great, blocked the mssearch thing.......

but still getting popups.......any clue how to stop that? and by popups i mean im not even web surfing and they pop up with spyware programs to buy.....

edit, ok nm it came back even with that program, but its not showing up on the program eaither

heres the log from Process Guard

Id try Trend Micro's online Anti-Spyware program. It worked for a couple weeks ago when nothing else would. Just a suggestion.

EDIT**

fixed link.
 
I say we take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

you mentioned MS and spybot.. Did you run adaware? each will catch things the other didnt

yep, used spybot, adaware, and m$.......trying what above poster posted tho

ok that Trend Micro found about 20 pieces, deleted them, restarting and seeing what happens i guess, hope it works :(

Another suggestion if I may. Download Hitman Pro . It contains the more common spyware programs. It updates all the programs before it runs them. I found it after Trend Micros. I dont know if its better , but it did add 2 more programs than I tried before Trends. I like it.

EDIT**

Time of death 3:52pm ? :D Hope all went well.

Got a fresh hijackthis log?
sec, this Hitman bullshit is taking forever, it seems to have downloaded the major spyware programs, running them at the same time and finding all it can.......

i wish he would have told me it would bog the hell out of my computer and take over with options

Sorry bud, it really is a good program though. It uses more programs than you said you tried so I thought to offer. Yes it takes over your pc pretty much while it runs through ALL the programs.

Hi

If you keep getting repeated spyware then you may well have a rootkit installed.

SysInternals has a little prog that will help find them if they are there:
http://www.sysinternals.com/utilities/rootkitrevealer.html

Also try CWS Shredder
http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

Lastly, try http://www.michaelhorowitz.com/removespyware.html

Regarding your data - dude it sucks to say this but BACKUP ALL YOUR SH*T all of the time. I've only had one hdd go belly up on me that I did not have a full backup for and it took me bloody weeks to get my PC back to how I like it.

Anyway, good luck with the cleaning...

Why is notepad.exe running as a startup program. There used to be a trojan that used notepad.exe as its hiding place. Do a google search on notepad.

it found one but i dun know how to delete it?

HKLM\SOFTWARE\.......

key name contrain embedded nu.....


/shrug
 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mssearchnet.exe

Start off by deleting that sob. Ill look at some more.
 
i think i will just do system restore......this is pointless and very bothersome.......ive tried........7 programs, and nothing........my computers fux0red i know, just thought i could clean it up

imma borrow an external hard drive and reformat

tho i have a question.......to format the drive windows in on i cant be in windows at the time right? i have to use the repair thing on the cd? and do the format option?

soulsaver
 
was wondering still.........how does my bootini look? somthing i should edit out of it?


[boot loader]
timeout=4
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="L" C
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut
 
That WINDOWS="L" C seems funny, but I'm not sure.

About the popups, are they WareOut popups? Could try this

And looks a bit like smitfraud, in which case you download this and run the RunThis.bat while you're in Safe Mode.

And I would have had HijackThis fix

Finally someone who uses Trend Micro products. They are really the best in the field.

I suggest getting these two programs for no Spyware/Virii. At least I haven't gotten any.

TrendMicro: PC-Cillin Internet Security
Sunbelt Software: CounterSpy

Both wonderful programs. I suggest using them. Regarding your current problem, I am not too good at TSing, I just let those two programs take care of me. But Good Luck.

oddly enough i tried to fix it, it kept coming back........

question tho, that /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut part of my bootini file, whats that all about? i noticed long load times with login and such.......

i have a custom boot skin but never did much before, just curious if that should be there
 
That's normal. Try out those two tools, though, unless you're doing your restore.

No problem, always willing to try help a forum member. Wish I coulda been more help.
 
update aadaware and spybot, you need to use both in safemode. I usually scan with spybot first because it doesn't remove everything it says it will. after you run spybot, run adaware... but you already been doing this of course.

before you do this, please get avast at http://www.majorgeeks.com . avast has a 30 day free trial. once installed, make sure you agree with the virus scan at the next system startup. also, before rebooting into safemode, update avast and the virus deffinitions if it lets you.

the reason i reccomend avast, again is for the installation pre-windows scan (its like scan disk). it removes alot of spyware and trojans that cannot be removed in safemode.

so in safemode run spybot, adaware, avast... then use hijack this and remove any other problems.

also, if you use IE, stop. turn off active x in IE and also go to tools>internet options>advanced and turn off "enable third party extensions". you can also disable IE for cookies, java ect... so IE can't be whored out.

you will then need to if you are not already switch to firefox at mozilla.org .
 
Add this to your registry. It will fix your missing Tabs in Display Properties.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"WallpaperStyle"=dword:00000000
"NoDispBackgroundPage"=dword:00000000
"NoDispAppearancePage"=dword:00000000

Best AntiSpyware program EVER.

i would love to nuke the os, to hell and back, but i have about 10 gigs of info i want to keep,,, pictures, few movies, and music.......and programs and such

I am definatly no super pro or anything like a lot of the above people are but I would definatly recommend spending your time to find all the junk you want to keep and load it on to another drive or something and then wiping that drive out. I have my hard drive setup where 40 gigs are for the main partition with the OS and the rest is a file storage partition. Also when I install a program and it puts it in C:\program_files by default I change it to F:\program_files (file storage drive) so I dont have to reinstall all my junk next time I format my OS partition. It works great for me and I only need to use 1 hard drive to do it. :)
