Sep 17th, 2004
okay. i have tried everything that i've read in every forum. i'm running:
Win2000, Ad-aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Spyware Blaster, CWShredder, Norton Antivirus.

i've run all the spyware remove programs multiple times and in safe mode as well, but some how, these porn site dialers keep coming up and so do website popups. also, my homepage on the internet keeps getting changed to some other site like coolbiz or iwantsearch.com. i don't know what else to do. i think there is a running process that drives this thing. is there any program out there that can detect harmful running processes??? hopefully someone can help. here is my latest hjt:

APM (Advanced Process Manipulation) is a good tool for manipulating running processes; you can get it here:

http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=apm

In terms of your log, let's start with this:

1. Have HJT fix the following:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.ptvtyxvduasv.org/8_/Hom6...YiR/3LHH1S.html
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02716B31-5FA1-D9DF-C7D3-CA274A576DA9} - C:\PROGRA~1\SETTIN~1\64 third.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows] C:\WINNT\system32\windows\services.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [qOo.exe] C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\qOo.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ER.exe] C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\ER.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [38Z3MSR3DDD##A] C:\WINNT\system32\HacH5X.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [eXQp66oI.exe] C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\eXQp66oI.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Surf wipe] C:\PROGRA~1\signdvdlink\ElseVga.exe

2. - Reboot into safe mode and, for every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders:

1. Local Settings\Temp
2. Cookies
3. History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.

If you get any messages concerning the deletion of system files such as desktop.ini or index.dat, just choose to delete those files; they'll be automatically regenerated by Windows if needed.

- Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". Once done, search for and delete all of the .exe files in the HJT entries I listed above.

- Empty your Recycle Bin.

- Reboot normally.

- run HJT again and post a fresh log.
"May the Wombat of Happiness snuffle through your underbrush."

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

DMR,
Thanks for the help!!! From what i see right now, IE seems to be MUCH more stable. :lol: I had one question: when you said to delete ALL the .exe files from the HJT log, the file "services.exe" came up in a few places. i only deleted the one in the specific folder that the HJT had. but should i delete all the other "services.exe" which appear in other folders?

here's my new log:

Good catch on the services.exe file- you deleted the right one. There is a valid (and essential) Windows program named services.exe, but it lives in the C:\windows\system32 folder; the existence of a services.exe file in any other location is almost certainly indicative of an infection.

Your log looks clean to me; are you still having any noticeable problems?

DMR,
if you could double check for me; services.exe appears in 3 places:

C:\WINNT\system32 <-- this one is the valid one, right?
C:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386
C:\WINNT\$NtServicePackUninstall$

i'm thinking those other 2 place look okay too, right?

Thanks a lot for your help!! i've been at the problem for a week and it's finally looking good! mad props to you!!

You are correct again. The first file is the real services.exe; the second two you found are pieces of the Win 2k service pack install; you can leave them be.

Glad you got it worked out; let us know if anything else crops up.
