Spybot found Zlob.Downloader.. Windows going on mini-dump -hlp !!

[raju1uce]

Well am back to TSF when nothing worked out. Won't write 10 lines to describe my frustration rather coming straight to the point... but plz hlp.. someone....!!!

1. Spybot unable to remove Zlob.Downloader even in Safe Mode.
Zlob.Downloader: Browser helper object (Registry key, nothing done) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{4da4616d-7e6e-4fd9-a2d5-b6c535733e22}

2. Windows starts mini-dump and system hangs with an irritating Blue Screen when I try enabling my USB port.

3. After rebooting the system am able to enable the USB but i keep getting taskbar pop-ups regularly with the message "New USB device found" then it vanishes magically for some time and then reappears again. Ultimately I have to disable the USB ports thru Device Manager and then peace...! But I got to use USB.... right !!!

I regularly run Clean-up so you wudn't find much crap on the system.

CWShredder found nothing.

AVG Antispyware found nothing..

Wasted money on new Mcafee Internet Security Suite 2007 but it found nothing.

Here goes the HJT log...

Reid, thanks for helping me out with this!

I followed the step by step procedure until Panda Scan but it seems pandasoftware.com is down. I tried other websites also to somehow run the Active Scan but no use.

Do you want me to skip panda and go ahead with the COMBOFIX.

Do you want me to skip panda and go ahead with the COMBOFIX??????

[Ried]

Yes, please run combofix and post that log here.

After you've done that, and while you're waiting for me to review the ComboFix.txt, please run an online scan at Kaspersky instead:

Please perform an online scan with Internet Explorer at Kaspersky Online Scanner

Answer Yes, when prompted to install an ActiveX component.

• The program will then begin downloading the latest definition files.
• Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
• Locate the Scan Settings button & configure to:
  • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
    • Extended
  • Scan Options:
    • Scan Archives
    • Scan Mail Bases
• Click OK & have it scan My Computer
• Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
• Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply

[raju1uce]

One more thg.. I haven't asked Spybot to remove this MyWaySearch yet. Just wanted to make sure Hijack This captures it.

Should I remove it now ??? And first of all will spybot be able to truly remove it ...!!

[Ried]

Hi,

MyWay and/or MyWebSearch need to go.

Before you fix it with Spybot, Click Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove programs and see if either of those is listed there. If they are, uninstall it (them) first via that panel.

----------------------------------------------

Delete this folder if present:

C:\Program Files\ MyWebSearch


Spybot should have no problem fixing those entries.

What version of Spybot are you running?

[raju1uce]

Well in Add Remove programs it doesn't show option to remove. just says "used rarely" and I dont have the folder C:\Program Files\MyWay*

I running Spybot Ver 1.4 - I keep it updated almost evry 3-4 days.

I cleaned it up thru spybot and it did not detect MyWay again.

My add remove programs still shows the entry there. Is there a way i can get rid of it too.

[Ried]

Spybot may have already taken out the folder, which in turn would remove the uninstaller.

Double click on HijackThis.exe to run it. Click on Open the Misc Tools section click the button labelled "Open Uninstall Manager"

Click on MyWay in the list to highlight it, then click 'Delete this Entry'.

----------------------------------------------------

You should be all set now.

If there aren't any more problems, please continue with these final instructions and helpful links.


Reset hidden/system files and folders
Windows XP
===============
Click Start.
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View tab.
* Deselect the Show hidden files and folders option.
* Select the Hide file extensions for known types option.
* Select the Hide protected operating system files option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.

Enable Windows Auto Update
*Go to Start>Run - type wuaucpl.cpl
*Tick on the checkbox - "Automatically download the updates, and install them on the schedule that I specify".
Click on "OK".

Create a new System Restore point
Click Start >> Run - type SYSDM.CPL & press Enter
* Select the System Restore Tab
* Tick on the checkbox - "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
Click Apply
* Then untick the same checkbox & click OK
This will prevent any reinfection from previous restore points.


To help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs if you do not already have them:

Download SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place. Install & update SpywareBlaster with the latest definitions. After you have updated, click the button - enable protection for all unprotected items .

Download Spyware Guard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.

Download IE-SPYAD.EXE to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email. IE/Spyad places more than 4000 dubious websites and domains in the IE Restricted list. This severely impairs attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites. This is a self-extracting .ZIP file, save it to your desktop. Once downloaded, double-click on it to extract the files inside (default dir is C:\IE-SPYAD)

• Now navigate to C:\ie-spyad. Double click to open it.
• From within the folder, double-click install.bat
• Select Option #2 - Install the new IE-SPYAD list, by typing 2
• Then return to the main menu.
• Select option #4 - Add the old porn sites domain, by typing 4

Update all these programs regularly. Without regular updates you will not be protected when new malicious programs are released.

In light of your recent issue, I'm sure you'll like to avoid any future infections. Please take a look at these well written articles:

PC Safety and Security--What Do I Need?

HOW DID I GET INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE? by Tony Klein
THE ANTI-SPYWARE TUTORIAL
MAKING INTERNET EXPLORER SAFER
Understanding and Using Firewalls


**Be very wary with any security software that is advertised in popups or in other ways. They are not only usually of no use, but often have malware in them.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
