Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Hi there,

When I go to MSConfig > Startup, there are square symbols in two of the startup items. I don't know how to get rid of it. I will do a hijack log and post the results below:

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Hello batman321,

A more comprehensive log would be more helpful to us. As noted in our sticky topic (Updated!) IMPORTANT - Read This Before Posting A Log...

Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your Desktop.

What DSS will do:
  • create a new System Restore point in Windows XP and Vista.
  • clean your Temporary Files, Downloaded Program Files, and Internet Cache Files, and also empty the Recycle Bin on all drives.
  • check some important areas of your system and produce a report for your analyst to review.
  • DSS automatically runs HijackThis for you, but it will also install and place a shortcut to HijackThis on your desktop if you do not already have HijackThis installed.


Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.
  1. Close all applications and windows.
  2. Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
  3. When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt <-this one will be minimized
  4. Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt in your next reply.
  5. Please attach extra.txt to your post.
To attach a file to a new post, simply
  1. Click the[Manage Attachments] button under Additional Options > Attach Files on the post composition page, and
  2. copy and paste the following into the "Upload File from your Computer" box:
    C:\Deckard\System Scanner\extra.txt
  3. Click Upload.

Please include the following in your next reply:

main.txt
an attached extra.txt

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Thank you, that's what I needed.

Please copy this page to Notepad and save to your desktop for reference as you will not have any browsers open while you are carrying out portions of these instructions.

Also be sure to carry out the instructions in the sequence listed below.

***************************************************

Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan Only'. 'Check' the following entry:

F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\Userinit.exe

Click 'Fix Checked' and close HijackThis.

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

Please ensure Hidden files and folders are viewable:

Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading:
* select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
*Also, make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types.
* Click OK.

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

Using 'My Computer', navigate to and delete the followingFolder[/color]

C:\Program Files\ NewDotNet

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

Go to Start->Run and type in regedit and hit OK.

Open notepad and copy/paste the entire text in the quotebox below: (don't forget to copy and paste REGEDIT4)

Quote:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Load]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Run]

Save the file as "delete.reg". Make sure to save it with the quotes. Choose to "Save type as - All Files"
It should look like this:

Double click on the delete.reg file and choose Yes to merge/add it to the registry. You may delete the file afterwards.

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

Reboot your system.

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

Due to the presence of those entries, I highly recommend performing an online scan to search for any remnants that may be lurking.

Use Internet Explorer with Panda ActiveScan
  1. Click on located at the bottom of the page.
  2. A "pop up" window will appear. * Please ensure that your pop up blocker doesn't block it *
  3. Enter your e-mail address, country, and state & click "Free Online Scan" *The download of the 8 MB Panda's ActiveX control will take place*
Begin the scan by selecting
  • If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report.
  • Please ignore any entry it finds and the offer to buy the program to remove the entry, as we will address this later.
  • Click on then click
* You needn't remain online while it's doing the scan but you have to re-connect after it has finished to see the report.
* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan


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

Run a new scan with dss.exe.

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

Please include the following in your next reply:

Panda results

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Hi there,

The square symbols are not showing under 'msconfig > startup item'. I guess it's fixed. The only thing I haven't fully completed was the Panda scan. I did manager to scan 30% of 'my computer' and save the report. I will continue the scan tomorrow and hopefully complete a 100% scan.

Please see the attachment files. Activescan.txt is the panda scan results and main.txt is the dss.exe results.

Thank you

Bruce Wayne

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Hi,

From what I see so far in Panda, please do the following:

Please ensure Hidden files and folders are viewable:

Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading:
* select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
*Also, make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types.
* Click OK.

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

Using 'My Computer', navigate to and delete the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\simon\Application Data\Registry Cleaner
C:\Applications\Driver Cleaner

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

Clear Mozilla Firefox cookies:

Open the Mozilla Browser>Tools>Options>Privacy>Cookies>Clear

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

Looking forward to seeing a full scan, Bruce.

update

The Panda scan takes forever to complete. I run the pandas scan PC on my computer while I'm away and when I return to it, the panda scan window has closed. I don't think I will be able to complete the scan.

Thanks

Bruce Wayne

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

You do not have to remain online while it's scanning. Once it has completed, re-connect to the internet to get the report.

-or-

Try this online scanner:

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

**Note for Internet Explorer 7 users**

If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.

Hi there,

I have attached a Kaspersky report (.rar file) to this thread. I had to compress the .txt file because it was almost 4MB.

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Hiya,

The good news is:

Quote:
Number of viruses found: 0
Number of infected objects: 0 / 0
Number of suspicious objects: 0
Your logs are clean. 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.

Ensure Windows Auto Update is Enabled
*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 flush out previous restore points and create a new restore point. Doing so will prevent 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:

McAfee Site Advisor--free version. The folks there check out websites and based on their findings, rate it as Safe, Unknown, Caution, or Bad.

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.

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

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'd 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 the list above and the potential for infection will reduce dramatically.

Update

Hi there,

Thank you for your professional help! I just wanted to ask for future reference. If I encounter the same problem (i.e. square symbols in msconfig startup entry) can I follow the steps your provided to solve the problem?


***************************************************

Please copy this page to Notepad and save to your desktop for reference as you will not have any browsers open while you are carrying out portions of these instructions.

Also be sure to carry out the instructions in the sequence listed below:


Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan Only'. 'Check' the following entry:

F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\Userinit.exe

Click 'Fix Checked' and close HijackThis.

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

Please ensure Hidden files and folders are viewable:

Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading:
* select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
*Also, make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types.
* Click OK.

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

Using 'My Computer', navigate to and delete the followingFolder[/color]

C:\Program Files\NewDotNet

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

Go to Start->Run and type in regedit and hit OK.

Open notepad and copy/paste the entire text in the quotebox below: (don't forget to copy and paste REGEDIT4)

Quote:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Load]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Run]

Save the file as "delete.reg". Make sure to save it with the quotes. Choose to "Save type as - All Files"
It should look like this:

Double click on the delete.reg file and choose Yes to merge/add it to the registry. You may delete the file afterwards.

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

Reboot your system.

********************************************************

I would like to learn how to use 'hijackthis' and know which entries to "fix". You instructed me to fix entry:

"F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\Userinit.exe"

Does this mean all 'F2' entries are threats?

Regards,

Bruce Wayne

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Hiya,

It takes many, many months of specialized, in-depth training to learn all this. Please don't try fixing any entries in HijackThis, or your registry without proper, training in these areas. Irrepairable damage to your system can occur.

NewdotNet is known malware--it needed to go. Had it been in your Add/Remove programs list, I'd have had you ininstall it before deleting that folder.

Those reg entries in your misconfig were created by an infection that was on your system, that one of your onboard anti malware tools 'cleaned' by disabling it from running at startup. I can't say exactly which one it was, as there are so many that use cyrillic characters. (what you saw as odd squares and ??)

Spyware Update...

Hi there,

My PC still has spyware. "Active Scan" found 21 "Spyware" and 1 "hacking tool and rootkits" while searching through 110K worth of files. I estimate I have 400k worth of files that still need to be scanned. I am unable to do a full scan at present because I do not live where the PC is kept (i.e. the PC disturbs the occupants of the house when I'm not on it).

Cheers

Bruce Wayne

Good news!

Hi,

I managed to save the Panda Activescan report for the malware found on my PC. Please note, this is not a full scan report, only a 20% scan. Please see the attached file.

Cheers

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Hello Bruce Wayne,


If you look closely at the Panda results, you'll see that most of what it is reporting so far are undesirable cookies in Firefox. You can clear those via the Firefox.

Open the Mozilla Browser>Tools>Options>Privacy>Cookies>Clear

I would also suggest adding this tool to the system. Run it first and see if that helps speed up Panda a bit:

Download AVG Anti Spyware

Install AVG Anti Spyware
  • Double-click the icon on Desktop to launch AVG
  • On the main Status screen, under Your Computer's Security, click Resident Shield
  • Click the word active to change it to inactive
  • On the top of the main screen click Update.
  • Then click on Start Update. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
  • Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
  • Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
  • Under "Reports"
    • Select "Do Not Automatically generate report after every scan"


Run AVG Anti-Spyware with it's updated definitions:(...it's important that all windows must be closed)
  • Click Scanner
  • Click on the Scan tab
  • Click Complete System Scan to begin scanning.
    Once the scan is complete do the following:
  • If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions"
  • Once finished, click the Save report button, then click Save Report As and save it to your desktop. (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).

Post those results here.

Update...

Hi there,

I did everything you instructed. Please see the AVG scan report (see attachment). AVG found 28 malware, mainly cookies and 1 adware. I noticed my web surfing and outlook express (i.e. downloading messages) has been slower lately, do you think it's because of the spyware? Now that the spyware has been cleaned, my web-surfing experience should return to normal.

Regards,

Bruce Wayne

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Hiya,

AVG A-S removed undesirable tracking cookies and cleared the Microsoft AntiSpyware Quarantine folder.

I'm not finding any other malware here, how is the browsing and outlook express downloading?

Update...

Hi,

Outlook Express 6 is painfully slow a the moment. It takes ages to download messages. I know I need to edit the registry. My browsing experience is not what it use to be. Mozilla takes ages to launch as well. My online experience use to be fast. I have tweaked broadband using TCP optimizer. Do you think my PC has a virus? Which virus checker do you recommend? I use Avast. Avast detected some viruses recently, I should do a full scan soon.

Regards,

Bruce Wayne

Re: Need help to remove "square symbols" from msconfig

Your logs had come up clean. Did this slowness occur after you did some tweaking with TCP optimizer?

I'll take another look as well. Run a new scan with dss.exe and post the main.txt
