YieldManager popups and feezing internet browser

Hi Analysts

I am having problems with the YieldManager popups. Also, My broswer (IE 7 or Firefox) always seems to have a problem as it freezes many times. I then have to close the browser and restart it.

I have used many tools. I have run Spybot S&D, AVG anti Spyware and Anti Virus, Adaware. I also use the Zone alarm firewall, Spyware blaster and CCleaner.

However, everytime i run the anti spyware soft it always finds yieldmanager and stagasaurus and although i clean it, a day or 2 later when I run it again, they seem to reappear.

Is there anyware to remove and block these things permanently?

Attached is my HJT log:

Re: YieldManager popups and feezing internet browser

Do a HijackThis scan & place a check next to these items and select "Fix checked":

O23 - Service: Power Manager (PowerManager) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe (file missing)


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


1. Download & Save this file to Desktop -> http://download.bleepingcomputer.com...a/ComboFix.exe

2. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that & a fresh Hijackthis log in your next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Re: YieldManager popups and feezing internet browser

Do a HijackThis scan & place a check next to these items and select "Fix checked":

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - ?p=ZNxmk789YYZA
O23 - Service: Power Manager (PowerManager) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe (file missing)



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


Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Code:
http://www.techsupportforum.com/security-center/hijackthis-log-help/173435-yieldmanager-popups-feezing-internet-browser.html
Collect::
E:\ie.exe
Driver::
PowerManager
Registry::
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{2870bd38-d9e2-11db-99f4-001558af0130}]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{2c21a194-eab9-11db-9a20-001558af0130}]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{45ce04ae-d847-11db-99ea-001558af0130}]
Save this as "CFScript"




Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you, C:\ComboFix.txt. Post that log in your next reply.

Re: YieldManager popups and feezing internet browser

Open NOTEPAD.exe and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Code:
@echo off
if exist "%temp%\log.txt" del "%temp%\log.txt"

for %%g in (
%systemdrive%\VundoFix Backups
%systemdrive%\Deckard
%systemdrive%\Qoobox
) do (
rd /s/q %%g >nul 2>&1
if exist %%g echo.%%~g>>"%temp%\log.txt"
)
if exist "%temp%\log.txt" ( start notepad "%temp%\log.txt"
) else echo.Deleted Successfully !!

echo.GetObject("winmgmts:" ^& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" ^& "." ^& "\root\default").Get("SystemRestore").Disable("")>SR.vbs
echo.GetObject("winmgmts:" ^& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" ^& "." ^& "\root\default").Get("SystemRestore").Enable("")>>SR.vbs
wscript SR.vbs

(
echo.REGEDIT4&echo.
echo.[hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\advanced]
echo."hidden"=dword:00000002
echo."hidefileext"=dword:00000001
echo."showsuperhidden"=dword:00000000
)>rehide.reg

regedit /s rehide.reg
del rehide.reg SR.vbs
nircmd wait 7000
del %0
Save this as fix.bat Choose to "Save type as - All Files"
It should look like this:
Double click on fix.bat & allow it to run

Post back to tell me what it says

Re: YieldManager popups and feezing internet browser

Your system is clean. Kindly follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

  1. 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. FIREWALL
    Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. A tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones can be found here → http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial60.html


  3. Microsoft Windows Updatehttp://www.windowsupdate.com
    Visit regularly. This will ensure your computer always has the latest security updates. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

  4. SPYWAREBLASTER
    SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of malicious ActiveX, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software. Blocks spyware/tracking cookies & restricts the actions of potentially unwanted sites.

    Unlike other programs, SpywareBlaster does not have to remain running in the background. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here → http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial49.html


  5. IE-SPYAD
    IE/Spyad places more than 4000 dubious websites and domains in the IE Restricted list. This severely impair 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. A tutorial on installing this product can be found here http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm

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.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically. Here are some additional utilities that will further enhance your safety.
  • http://www.trillian.cc → Trillian or http://www.miranda-im.com → 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)

  • http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - Firefox - Use this alternate browser. Whilst Internet Explorer is not a bad browser, almost every exploit crafted is targeted to take advantage of an IE weakness.

  • http://java.com/en/index.jsp - Sun's Java - It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine.

  • http://www.aumha.org/downloads/erunt-setup.exe - ERUNT - A useful freeware utility for users of Windows 2000/XP. It's made up of two parts - ERUNT & NTREGOPT.

    ERUNT will create daily complete backups of your computer's Registry. Whilst System Restore does the same thing, a corrupt registry file may prevent Windows from booting & this effectively renders disables System Restore. With ERUNT, you're able to restore the damaged Registry.

    NTREGOPT works by recreating each registry hive "from scratch", thus removing any slack space that may be left from previously modified or deleted keys. In other words, it compacts the Registry to a small size which allows Windows to load & perform faster.

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 - http://computercops.biz/postlite7736-.html

After doing all these, your system will be optimised against future threats.

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder in a couple weeks if everything is working okay.
Have a safe & happy computing day.

Kindly respond to this thread once more so we can mark this thread as resolved.
