Daughter's Comp

Hi guys,

My daughter's computer needs help...extremely slow internet. It seems to have started when she tried to dl a new patch for WoW.

Followed the recommended steps so far. All scans show clean. HJT log is below. Even I can see she needs to remove Weatherbug and Symantec but need your expertise to see what else is lurking...


Thanks...little yustr

Hello and Welcome to TechSupport!

First of all you have hijackthis running from a temporary folder.
C:\DOCUME~1\Me\LOCALS~1\Temp\~AceTemp\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe
Please move it to another folder like c:\HJT\

Yes, you need to uninstall one anti-virus application. Two can interfere with each other.

No Firewall Onboard

Also I do not see a firewall application installed. Perhaps you have a hardware firewall but a combination of both a software firewall and a hardware firewall is better. Just be sure there are no conflicts. Please do not rely solely on the Windows XP firewall. Using a software firewall other than the XP firewall will allow you to give/deny access for applications that want to go online. Select one of these, or another of your choice:
Test your Firewall - Please test your firewall and make sure it is working properly.
Test Firewall


STEP 1.
======
SDFix

Also download SDFix.zip
and save it to the Desktop.

Right click the SDFix.zip folder
Select: Extract All to extract it to its own folder on the Desktop.

====
Start the computer in Safe Mode :
-When the machine first starts again, tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu.
-Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
-Press Enter to boot into Safe Mode.

====
Open the SDFix folder on the Desktop, and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
The process removes any Trojan Services or Registry Entries found, and then prompts you to press any key to Reboot.

Press any key to restart the PC.
When the PC restarts the SDFix will run again and complete the removal process
It then displays Finished
Press any key to end the script and load the Desktop icons.

Once the Desktop icons load, the SDFix report opens on screen and saves itself in the SDFix folder as Report.txt.

Please post (reply) with the Report.txt and a fresh hijackthis log.

Hello yustr, nice meeting you!

=============
WeatherBug is installed on your computer. It is technically not spyware but the free version is adware supported. Its removal is recommended, but it is up to you whether you want to do so.

An ad free alternative is Weather Pulse:
http://tropicdesigns.net/weatherpulse.php

In order to avoid future problems with Weatherbug, make sure the program is not running before uninstalling it.
If there is a WeatherBug icon in the system tray (in the lower right hand corner of the screen) right-click on it and choose "Exit WeatherBug" or "Terminate Weatherbug".
Once the program is closed, then remove it easily from the Add or Remove Programs section of the Control Panel by following these steps:

Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
In the list of currently installed programs, select:
WeatherBug
Click: Remove

===============
Updating Java
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.0.
  • Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6-windows-i586.exe to install the newest version.

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

HijackThis is being run from a temporary folder; this means that any backups it creates as a result of fixes made with it will be lost. Please create a new folder for it and place the program into that new folder. The reason is because hijackthis creates backups and when it's in your temp-folder it can be accidentally deleted.

How do you make a permanent folder?
Click My Computer, then C:\ and then on Program Files.
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis".
Now you have C:\Program Files\HijackThis. Put your HijackThis.exe there.
=================

Post (reply) with a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look.

Weather bug doesn't appear in Add/Remove Program list nor is there an icon for it in the task bar...

I deleted all java from the Add/Remove list but could not complete the installation of JRE 6 - every time it would get to Windows installer and freeze.

Here's the new HJT log.

As usual I appreciate you help.

Cheers

I am not sure about the Java problem, I will have to research that.

Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

Scan with HijackThis. Place a check against each of the following:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cust...search/ie.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cust.../www.yahoo.com
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Viewpoint Search - res://C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Toolbar\ViewBar.dll/CXTSEARCH.HTML

Close all windows or browsers except for Hijackthis. Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following folders, and delete it (if it exists) C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\<=folder
Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.
======================
Now run this online scan using Internet Explorer:
Kaspersky Online Scanner from http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan
Next Click on Launch Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
  • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  • Standard
  • Scan Options:
  • Scan Archives
  • Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:
  • Select My Computer
  • This will program will start and scan your system.
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
Copy and paste that information from Kapersky in your next post.

Post (reply) with a fresh HijackThis log and the Kapersky log.

My System

Hi Susan,

Well I'm pretty sure I figured out the java problem as well as the slow internet - a bad cable. I moved her computer to my area and connected it using my cable and what do you know there's teh internet again...so much for the Local Area Connection wizard...

Anyway here's the Kaspersky log and a new HJT log. It did find "Backdoor.Win32.SdBot.add"

Yes, Kapersky just shows the one infected _restore point. We always wait until the end to clear the restore points. In extreme case with problems we would be able to restore back to an infected restore point which would be better than having nothing to restore back to.

Kapersky entry:
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{4AA1BD37-FFAB-4770-A4A3-2C6BF615AE71}\RP721\A0051665.exe Infected: Backdoor.Win32.SdBot.aad skipped

Let's try once more to remove this Viewpoint object.
Scan with HijackThis. Place a check against each of the following:
O3 - Toolbar: Viewpoint Toolbar - {F8AD5AA5-D966-4667-9DAF-2561D68B2012} - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Toolbar\ViewBar.dll (file missing)
Close all windows or browsers except for Hijackthis. Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Post (reply) with a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look.

Also please let me know how your computer is running now.

Good work yustr! Glad the computer is running fine now!

Empty your recycle Bin now, and delete the HJT backups folder in a week or so when you're sure all is well and there's no way they are possibly needed. You can delete the SDFix tool.

This step with get rid of that one infected file detected by Kapaersky.
STEP 1.
======
System Restore for Windows XP
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 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.
  2. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
  3. Click Properties.
  4. Click the System Restore tab.
  5. Check Turn off System Restore.
  6. Click Apply, and then click OK.
Reboot.

Turn ON System Restore.
  1. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
  2. Click Properties.
  3. Click the System Restore tab.
  4. UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
  5. Click Apply, and then click OK.


STEP 2.
======
DON’T BECOME OVERCONFIDENT WITH ANTIVIRUS APPLICATIONS INSTALLED!!!

http://forum.malwareremoval.com/view...9eba6ea0b5e8ee
Quote:
Stay up to date on security patches and be extremely wary of clicking on links and attachments that arrive unbidden in instant messages and e-mail.

"The number one thing the majority of the malicious code we're seeing now does is disable or delete anti-virus and other security software," Dunham said. "In a lot of cases, once the user clicks on that attachment, it's already too late."
Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
  1. Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  2. Visit Microsoft's Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit Windows Updates regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

  3. Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer

  4. Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

  5. Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

  6. More info on how to prevent malware you can also find here (By Tony Klein)


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

Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

Susan
