Re: Really wierd problem with browsers and other things.

There's no directory in windows by that name...is that bad?

Everything seems to be the way it was before, minus that one error message, and the Japanese commercial hasn't been heard since.
Also, I mentioned a keylogger a few posts back. Did you notice one, or was it removed from combofix? Or is this dmserver thing the keylogger?

Re: Really wierd problem with browsers and other things.

The dmserver.dll is probably the one that's causing these current Wow account hacks. If you're Wow account holder, you will do well to stay away from any chinese websites/software.

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

  1. Uninstall ComboFix ... do not skip this step
    This process will perform some post cleanup measures.
    Do this by going to to Start > Run & typing in ComboFix /u


  2. 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.


  3. Microsoft Windows Update ? http://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

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.

Re: Really wierd problem with browsers and other things.

Thanks dude I really appreciate all the help. You do this stuff as a volunteer, too! If you're ever in San Antonio look me up lol I owe you a few drinks. One quick question though. I've been using Adaware for a while as my antivirus program. You're obviously an expert on this stuff, so I was wondering if you knew if that's really good enough or is there something better that's free?

Re: Really wierd problem with browsers and other things.

Adaware is an antispyware & not an antivirus program. For a freeware, please give AntiVir a try > http://www.free-av.com/
