[RESOLVED] Help--Mother of teenager needs advice!

Ready to scream. This computer is Windows XP second edition. Cable connection. When running Microsoft Antispyware, it shows adware called Virtumondo. It shows 16 registry keys infected. I have tried to clean it, including in safe mode. Doesn't work. Called my Dell help desk people. No help at all. They said to go back to Image Restore. I said no way. I found this website. Looks very helpful. Thanks so much in advance! Here is Hijack This log.

junecleaver--I am sure someone will help you, but you might want to read this post first, run the suggested programs and then post a new HJT log.
http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...d.php?t=167915
Did Microsoft Antispyware offer to remove any of the spyware it found? Did you allow it to do so?

Still plagued by Virtumondo Adware

Thank you for responding. Yes, I've tried everything. I've run every scan in the book including Spybot, AdAware, X-Cleaner, Trend Micro PC-Cillin, Trend Micro House Call, AdAway, Panda Active Screen. I ran almost everything in safe mode as well. I tried cleaning the Virtumondo as directed by Microsoft to no avail. Still waiting for crunchie or someone to direct me. I would be ever so grateful!! :eek: Here's another HJT log:

Hi junecleaver, welcome to VDr:)

Before we begin, let's move HiJackThis to it's own folder; like c:\HJT. When we're done 'cleaning' off your system, we're going to 'flush' the temporary folders which, with HiJackThis in it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later.

Also move the "Backups" folder, for HiJackThis, if present.

=================

Please print these instructions out for use in Safe Mode.

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
- Double-click VundoFix.exe to extract the files
- This will create a VundoFix folder on your desktop.
- After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.
- Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat
- You will first be presented with a warning.
  It should look like this
  
  Quote:
  
  VundoFix V2.13 by Atri
  By using VundoFix you agree that you are doing so at your own risk
  Press enter to continue....
- At this point press enter one time.
- Next you will see:
  
  Quote:
  
  Type in the filepath as instructed by the forum staff
  Then Press Enter, Then F6, Then Enter Again to continue with the fix.
- At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):
  - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkklj.dll
- Press Enter, then press the F6 key, then press Enter one more time to continue with the fix.
- Next you will see:
  
  Quote:
  
  Please type in the second filepath as instructed by the forum staff
  Then Press Enter, Then F6, Then Enter Again to continue with the fix.
- At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):
  - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jlkkj.*
    
    This will be the vundo filename spelt backwards. for example if the vundo dll was vundo.dll you would have the user enter odnuv.*
- Press Enter, then press the F6 key, then press Enter one more time to continue with the fix.
- The fix will run then HijackThis will open.
- In HiJackThis, please place a check next to the following items and click FIX CHECKED:
  - R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = about:blank
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.ezwebsearching.com/sp2.php
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.ezwebsearching.com/sp2.php
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
    
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    
    O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {52B1DFC7-AAFC-4362-B103-868B0683C697} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkklj.dll
    
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: jkklj - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkklj.dll
- After you have fixed these items, close Hijackthis and Press any key to Force a reboot of your computer.
- Pressing any key will cause a "Blue Screen of Death" this is normal, do not worry!
- Once your machine reboots please continue with the instructions below.
Download and install CleanUp!

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
Set the program up as follows:
Click "Options..."
Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):
- Empty Recycle Bins
- Delete Cookies
- Delete Prefetch files
- Cleanup! All Users
Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.

It may ask you to reboot at the end, click NO.

Then, please run this online virus scan: ActiveScan

Copy the results of the ActiveScan and paste them here along with a new HiJackThis log and the vundofix.txt file from the vundofix folder into this topic.

Wow--Virtumondo is gone!!

This is the second time I have written this--just got thrown offline!!
I'd better hurry before it happens again! I really do appreciate your help. I did everything EXACTLY as you directed however several things happened. When I was in safe mode and checking the various items in hijack this, the last item (020-Winlogon Notify: jkklj....) said (file missing) at the end of that one. Also I did NOT get a blue screen of death so I had to hard boot out of there. Also, not to sound like an absolute idiot but before when I did the Panda Activescan, apparently, I didn't actually do anything (I think I was scan-crazy, at that point.) This time I did actually click My Computer so results are pasted in here.
Thanks so much again for your help!

Hi

Just need to do a bit of a clean up

===============

Before we begin, let's move HiJackThis to it's own folder; like c:\HJT. When we're done 'cleaning' off your system, we're going to 'flush' the temporary folders which, with HiJackThis in it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later.

Also move the "Backups" folder, for HiJackThis, if present.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.ezwebsearching.com/sp2.php
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.ezwebsearching.com/sp2.php
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = about:blank

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {52B1DFC7-AAFC-4362-B103-868B0683C697} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkklj.dll (file missing)

O20 - Winlogon Notify: jkklj - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkklj.dll (file missing)

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Using Windows explorer navigate to and delete the following folders if found, make sure you can view hidden files and folders:

==============

Reboot and post back a fresh Hijackthis log

folders...

C:\WINDOWS\etb

files...

C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\apurl.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\jkkjj.dll

If you cannot delete them in normal mode try booting into safe mode and delete from there.

=============

Reboot back into normal mode and post back a fresh Hijackthis log :)

Your directions followed; Results shown

I thought I had moved HiJackThis to its own folder yesterday but this is my learning curve. It's definitely there now. I deleted folder/files you specified as well as the HiJackThis items. Here is the latest log:

Congrats, Your log is now clean :)

The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.
1. Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
2. AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
3. SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
4. SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
5. IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
6. CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.
7. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
8. Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.
9. Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein

Just one final question.....

Thank you very much! All scans have come back clean except one. The ActiveScan still shows one incidence of spyware. I am pasting in a copy of the most recent scan. Do I need to do anything or not? I appreciate so much your expertise.

Incident Status Location

Adware:adware/block-checker No disinfected Windows Registry

Here is the info on pandasoftware.com in the virus encyclopedia:

Common name: Block-checker

Technical name: Adwawe/Block-checker

Threat level: Low

Alias: BlockChecker

Type: Spyware

Subtype: Adware

Effects: It collects information on Internet usage and the applications installed in the computer and uses it to display pop-up advertisements.

Affected platforms: Windows 2003/XP/2000/NT/ME/98/95

First detected on: Aug. 30, 2005

Detection updated on: Aug. 31, 2005

In circulation? No

Brief Description

Block-checker is adware.
Adware is a license form for using programs, which offers the application at the only cost of viewing a series of advertisements. However, these programs sometimes collect data on Internet usage habits, pages viewed, inventory of the applications installed in the computer, etc.
Then, this information can be sent to Internet advertising companies.

Does this need to be addressed?? :confused: Thanks once again!!

Hi

You will only have blockchecker if you installed it yourself.

I didn't see anything in your log that shows blockchecker so it could just have been a false positive from Panda :)
