  1. You may wish to print out a copy of these instructions to follow while you complete this procedure.

    Please save Hijack This in a permanent folder (i.e. C:\HJT). This ensures backups are saved and accessible.

    Help with unzipping files is HERE

    First of all, you will need to print out this post and/or save a copy as a text file in Notepad so that you have a hard copy of these instructions; you can not have IE/Firefox/any browser open during the fix

    Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:

    http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

    Save it on your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure Run fixit is checked and click Finish. After the fix begins just follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

    After your system reboots, follow the prompts. Afterwards, HijackThis will launch. Please run it by clicking Scan Only,

    and check the following items:

    • O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{12921A99-633D-44D4-A5EF-AA8A0A0C3711}: NameServer = 85.255.115.59,85.255.112.77
    • O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{77E80864-2A11-41F2-9237-59C4E0E9C95F}: NameServer = 85.255.115.59,85.255.112.77
    • O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{D6417D93-2333-47BB-95E7-EAA43B1E3935}: NameServer = 85.255.115.59,85.255.112.77
    • O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\..\{12921A99-633D-44D4-A5EF-AA8A0A0C3711}: NameServer = 85.255.115.59,85.255.112.77
    • O17 - HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\..\{12921A99-633D-44D4-A5EF-AA8A0A0C3711}: NameServer = 85.255.115.59,85.255.112.77

    Click Fix Checked. Close HijackThis, and click OK to proceed.

    Download and run F-Secure Blacklight: http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml

    Run the program, accept statement>next>click> scan>next.

    If any items are detected have blacklite rename them except for "wbemtest.exe".

    Do not rename "wbemtest.exe" its a windows file. If there are any other files you THINK may be valid don't rename them. Help is available HERE

    The tool will ask if you want to reboot (restart) choose yes.

    Finally, please post

    • the contents of report.txt (it should open; If it does not open or you close it..find a copy in c:\fixwareout folder.)
    • a new HijackThis log
    • log from blacklight; log will be named fsbl-<date/time>.log eg. fsbl-20060404134642.log.

    Note: IF you are having connection problems follow the directions below

    (These instruction's are basically for home users.)

    Before doing this write down all the settings, Note that not all system/setups even have these settings, While some connection service's will require them.

    In the windows control panel. If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double click on Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl, and left click on properties. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically

    Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.

    That option might not be available one some systems

  2. Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad we could help. :)

    If you're the topic starter, and need this topic reopened, please contact a staff member with the address of the thread.

    Everyone else please begin a New Topic.

  3. Congratulations, your log is clean.

    First, let's clean your restore points and set a new one:

    Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)

    • 1. Turn off System Restore.
      • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
        Click Properties.
        Click the System Restore tab.
        Check Turn off System Restore.
        Click Apply, and then click OK.

    2. Restart your computer.

    3. Turn ON System Restore.

    • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
      Click Properties.
      Click the System Restore tab.
      UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
      Click Apply, and then click OK.

    System Restore will now be active again.

    To reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster and SpyWareGuard and IE/Spyad.

    SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard are by JavaCool and both are free programs. SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed and consumes no system resources. SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.

    IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It is free.

    More info and download is available at link in my signature

    Make SURE to read How Did I Get Infected in the First Place??

  4. Log is looking great..

    You should manually clear out the quarantine folder here ---> C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\YPSR\Quarantine\

    Couple of quick questions though.

    O1 - Hosts: 207.68.172.246 msn.com

    O1 - Hosts: 207.68.172.246 msn.com

    O1 - Hosts: 207.68.172.246 msn.com

    O1 - Hosts: 207.68.172.246 msn.com

    O1 - Hosts: 207.68.172.246 msn.com

    The above indicates you have 5 duplicate lines in your hosts file..did YOU put them there...FWIW that is the correct IP for MS so the enries are OK I just wonder why there are 5.

    Other thing that may be of concern is

    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{3243101D-0D98-40D0-83A9-D55D18F3BFB9}: NameServer = 202.188.0.133,202.188.1.5

    Seems to be a DNS server in Maylasia..are you there also??

    If you aer unfamaliar with your hosts file it is located in C:>WINNT>SYSTEM32>DRIVERS>ETC .

    A GREAT Hosts file reader/editor/manager is available from HERE

    Great info on hosts available at BleepingComputer

  7. Congratulations, your log is clean.

    First, let's reset your hidden/system files and folders. System files are hidden for a reason and we don't want to have them openly available and susceptible to accidental deletion.

    • * Click Start.
      * Open My Computer.
      * Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
      * Select the View tab.

    Next, let's clean your restore points and set a new one:

    Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)

    • 1. Turn off System Restore.
      • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
        Click Properties.
        Click the System Restore tab.
        Check Turn off System Restore.
        Click Apply, and then click OK.

    2. Restart your computer.

    3. Turn ON System Restore.

    • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
      Click Properties.
      Click the System Restore tab.
      UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
      Click Apply, and then click OK.

    System Restore will now be active again.

  11. Well the only thing that catches MY eye is

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WCXELMS] WCXELMS.exe
    and that's just because it's not very common. Do you use the Xerox Document Workcentre XE8x series??

    Please click and download Silent Runners.

    • * Save it to the desktop.
      *Double clicking the "Silent Runners" icon on your desktop to run it .
      *Now you will see a text file appear on the desktop - it is NOT done yet, so let it run (it won't appear to be doing anything!)
      * After you receive the "All Done!" prompt, double-click on the new text file on the desktop and copy/ paste it here.

    *NOTE* If you receive any warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run.

  12. Check you setting in IE>Tools>Internet Options>Security(tab)> Internet(Globe).

    Too high of a setting will stop it from showing.... It's a flash page..Default setting at internet will let you see it but make sure to go back to a higher setting afterward to remain secure on the web.

    Disregard...I read your question the other way around...NOT seeing in IE......Well same principal should appy...

    I can see it fine in both too Matt
