Please help. I was receiving win min error and my homepage kept changing, as well as these popups. I've tried Adaware SE and spybot. CW shredder fixed my win min error and homepage problem, but I still have the popups. I cant get rid of them. Here is my Hijack this log. Please help!

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should not have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

Before you do anything else, please create a folder for HijackThis and put it in a permanent folder (like C:\HJT) instead of the Temp folder. This is required because HijackThis will create backups and we don't want them to be deleted.

Go to My Computer->Tools/View->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that 'Show hidden files and folders' (or 'Show all files') is enabled. Also make sure that Display the contents of System Folders' is checked. Windows XP's search feature is a little different. When you click on 'All files and folders' on the left pane, click on the 'More advanced options' at the bottom. Make sure that Search system folders, Search hidden files and folders, and Search subfolders are checked.

Turn off system restore by right clicking on My Computer and go to Properties->System Restore and check the box for Turn off System Restore. Click Apply and then OK. Restart your computer. After we are finished with your log file and verified that it's clean, you may turn it back on and create a new restore point.

Download AboutBuster and unzip it to a folder on your the Desktop. Do not run it yet.

Run an online virus scan at TrendMicro. Make sure to select the Autoclean option.

Download IE-Spyad. IE-SPYAD is a Registry file (IE-ADS.REG) that adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers, marketers, and spyware pushers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer. Double-click to unzip the files and then run the install.bat file in the IE-Spyad folder it created (press 2 to install after it starts, I believe).

For the options that you checked/enabled earlier, you may uncheck them after your log is clean. If we ask you to fix a program that you use or want to keep, please post back saying that (we don't know every program that exists, so we may tell you to delete a program that we think is bad to keep).

Reboot into Safe Mode (hit F8 key until menu shows up). Make sure to close any open browsers. Go into HijackThis->Config->Misc. Tools->Open process manager. Select the following and click Kill process for each one if they are still listed (they shouldn't be - but double check it):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\pingnet.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\odcfg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\getdns.exe

Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs) if they exist:

FreshBar

SpyKiller
Spyware Begone <<<Both of these are rogueware and we highly recommend that you uninstall them. Rogue/Suspect means that these products are of unknown, questionable, or dubious value as anti-spyware protection.

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

Run AboutBuster and follow the prompts to scan (choose Yes/OK for all). It will ask you if you want a second scan, choose Yes. Save the log file and post it here.

Delete the following Files/Folders (delete folders if no filename is specified) according to their directory (if none, just do a search for them) and delete them if they exist:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\pingnet.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\odcfg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\getdns.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\iecust.dll
C:\Program Files\SpyKiller\
c:\freescan\

Reboot into Normal Mode and post a new HijackThis log file so we can make sure it's clean.

new hijack this log

CTSNKY- Thanks so much for your help so far.

I did everything you told me to do, but was unable to run Aboutbuster- gave me a runtime error '7' out of memory- when in safe mode- in regular mode- loaded something about MS Publisher 2002.
Heres my new Hijack This log.

Hmmm, never heard of that error. Let's see if we can't finish you up....

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.63.219.181.7

Reboot and post a new HijackThis log file so we can make sure it's clean.

Something must be hiding it from us.

Download: StartDreck (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/StartDreck.zip).

Unzip to its own folder and start the program:
Press 'Config'
Press 'mark all'

Uncheck the following boxes only:
System/Drivers -> NT Services
System/Drivers -> NT Kernel- and FS-drivers
Press 'OK'

Press 'Save' and select the location to save the log file (default is the same folder as the application)

Post the log in this thread.

I should expect those popup notifications are from your BitDefender program. The buggers are fighting back.

I don't see SpyBoy installed here. Did you take it off after running it? You should leave it on, as it immunizes your system against a host of attackers. I would advise reinstalling it now.

That's a stubborn booger.....

Download: StartDreck (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/StartDreck.zip).

Unzip to its own folder and start the program:
Press 'Config'
Press 'mark all'

Uncheck the following boxes only:
System/Drivers -> NT Services
System/Drivers -> NT Kernel- and FS-drivers
Press 'OK'

Press 'Save' and select the location to save the log file (default is the same folder as the application)

Post the log in this thread.

`REM
`REM CONFIG.SYS vs CONFIG.NT
`REM CONFIG.SYS is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
`REM CONFIG.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
`REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.
`REM
`REM ECHOCONFIG
`REM By default, no information is displayed when the MS-DOS environment
`REM is initialized. To display CONFIG.NT/AUTOEXEC.NT information, add
`REM the command echoconfig to CONFIG.NT or other startup file.
`REM
`REM NTCMDPROMPT
`REM When you return to the command prompt from a TSR or while running an
`REM MS-DOS-based application, Windows runs COMMAND.COM. This allows the
`REM TSR to remain active. To run CMD.EXE, the Windows command prompt,
`REM rather than COMMAND.COM, add the command ntcmdprompt to CONFIG.NT or
`REM other startup file.
`REM
`REM DOSONLY
`REM By default, you can start any type of application when running
`REM COMMAND.COM. If you start an application other than an MS-DOS-based
`REM application, any running TSR may be disrupted. To ensure that only
`REM MS-DOS-based applications can be started, add the command dosonly to
`REM CONFIG.NT or other startup file.
`REM
`REM EMM
`REM You can use EMM command line to configure EMM(Expanded Memory Manager).
`REM The syntax is:
`REM
`REM EMM = [A=AltRegSets] [B=BaseSegment] [RAM]
`REM
`REM AltRegSets
`REM specifies the total Alternative Mapping Register Sets you
`REM want the system to support. 1 <= AltRegSets <= 255. The
`REM default value is 8.
`REM BaseSegment
`REM specifies the starting segment address in the Dos conventional
`REM memory you want the system to allocate for EMM page frames.
`REM The value must be given in Hexdecimal.
`REM 0x1000 <= BaseSegment <= 0x4000. The value is rounded down to
`REM 16KB boundary. The default value is 0x4000
`REM RAM
`REM specifies that the system should only allocate 64Kb address
`REM space from the Upper Memory Block(UMB) area for EMM page frames
`REM and leave the rests(if available) to be used by DOS to support
`REM loadhigh and devicehigh commands. The system, by default, would
`REM allocate all possible and available UMB for page frames.
`REM
`REM The EMM size is determined by pif file(either the one associated
`REM with your application or _default.pif). If the size from PIF file
`REM is zero, EMM will be disabled and the EMM line will be ignored.

Slight typo.....SpyBot.......reinstall and scan with it now.

Download and install Spybot S&D. Run Spybot and click on the 'Search for Updates' button. Install any updates that are available. Next click on the 'Check for Problems' button. Let it run the scan. If it finds something, check all those in RED and hit the Fix Selected Problems button. Exit Spybot. If you keep getting the DSO Exploit entries, even after you updated Windows and fixed them, then download the Spybot DSO Exploit Fix and install it over the current Spybot installation.

Spybot was still installed. I ran it and it found the DSO exploit. I updated windows but that didnt work. I downloaded the spybot DSO exploit fix, and it worked- Spybot found no threats. I am still getting these stupid popups. What next?

Let's use a program to scan for any trojans that may exist. Download TDS-3. Learn how to use it here. Make sure to update it after you installed it. You can get the manual updates here. When you launch the program, it will scan your memory for running processes. This will take less than 30 seconds. Next go to System Testing on the menu and choose Full System Scan. After that's finished, post the log file by selecting everything on the top pane (select from bottom to top).

I did what you said, and here is the new log. The trusted zone: http://*.63.219.181.7 is still there. It is listed in trusted sites in my security zones- but im not able to remove it. I have removed it a bunch of times, but when I open the trusted sites zone its there again. Any suggestions?

The light is getting brighter way down the tunnel, but not clean yet.....

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

O1 - Hosts: 64.91.255.87 www.dcsresearch.com
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [abu] abu.exe

Delete the following Files/Folders (delete folders if no filename is specified) according to their directory (if none, just do a search for them) and delete them if they exist:

abu.exe

Reboot into Normal Mode and post a new HijackThis log file so we can make sure it's clean.

Here is my new log. I didnt do anything that microbell suggested because I didnt see his thread until now. Do I need to do that now? I wasnt able to delete O1 - Hosts: 64.91.255.87 www.dcsresearch.com, it gave me an error- I listed the error at the very bottom of this.
