I am having serious problems getting rid of IE popups. I've managed to get rid of some of the junk that is on my system but not all of it. I could really use some help.

I'm using XP SP 1, IE 6 and the latest version of Hijack This.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi Darkmatter,
Please download WebRoot SpySweeper from HERE (It is a 2-week trial version.):

• Click on Free Spy Scan.
• On the next page, click on Start Scan Now
• Save the Setup file to your Desktop>click OK.
• Double-click on the file that you saved. (If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)
• You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
• Click on "Options" > "Sweep Options" and check "Sweep all Folders on Selected drives".
• Check "Local Disc C" and under "What to Sweep", check every box.
• Click on "Sweep" and allow it to fully scan your system.
• When the sweep has finished, click "Remove" to remove any items found.
• Exit SpySweeper and reboot your computer.

NOTE: After SpySweeper has finished and removed any items found, it is important that you exit and reboot your computer right away to ensure the infection is fully removed.


After the reboot, run HijackThis to get a new log and post back the same.

I ran the scan and it found what the other programs missed like Look2Me but the link you gave didn't give me a program with a 2 week trial. It is telling me that if I want to remove what it found I have to subscribe for 1 year... It also doesn't give me a log file for me to post here.

Hi,
It seems that SpySweeper is no longer avilable in trial version. Then, we have to try other tool.
Download L2mfix from one of these two locations:
http://www.atribune.org/downloads/l2mfix.exe
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/l2mfix.exe

Save the file to your desktop and double click l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix folder on your desktop. Double click l2mfix.bat and select option #1 for Run Find Log by typing 1 and then pressing enter. This will scan your computer and it may appear nothing is happening, then, after a minute or 2, notepad will open with a log. Copy the contents of that log and paste it into this thread.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run option #2 OR any other files in the l2mfix folder until you are asked to do so! This Fix must NOT be run in safe mode for it to work.

If you receive, while running option #1, an error similar like: ''C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt the system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows applications. choose close to terminate the application.."...then please use option 5 or the web page link in the l2mfix folder to solve this error condition. do not run the fix portion without fixing this first.

Thanks for your quick reply. Here is the log with all (hopefully) the l2m files.

Its a pretty big log.

Hi,
Now, we have to remove them!
Close any programs you have open since this step requires a reboot.

From the l2mfix folder on your desktop, double click l2mfix.bat and select option #2 for Run Fix by typing 2 and then pressing enter.
It will process then start. Your desktop and icons will disappear (this is normal). L2mfix will continue to scan your computer and when it's finished, it will be ready for a reboot. Press any key to reboot. After the reboot notepad will open with a log. Copy the contents of that log and paste it back into this thread, along with a new hijackthis log.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other files in the l2mfix folder unless you are asked to do so! Do Not run in safe mode!!
If after the reboot the log does not open double click on it in the l2mfix folder.

Ok I did as you asked. I did note something that may have been an error but may not have been. I saw the program say something along the lines of "error: unable to run second.bat from C:\windows\system32\"
Which is odd since second.bat is in the l2m folder on the desktop, not in sys32...

EDIT: One other thing. Whatever the program did, I now seem to have access to windows XP security updates which I wasn't able to get before because of the crap on my computer. Should I get those updates now ASAP or wait untill the system is fully clean first?

Anyways, heres the log and a new hijack log. You'll see that theres still a "f00olad31d0.dll" in system32 which is part of l2m.

Heres the l2m log.

L2mfix 010406

Hi,
Thanks for spotting that error. I saw the batch file L2mfix.bat and there seems to be a problem in copying that second.bat from its folder to System32 folder.

Manually copy the second.bat file to System32 folder. Next, run the L2MFix.bat and choose Option 2.

Now also, if you notice the same error, please run the second.bat manually after running L2Mfix.bat with option 2.

As for the updates, it would be good to do them after the removal of Look2Me!

Ok I copied second.bat to system32 manually but the program gave the same error message. After the main l2m program ran (but before I let it reboot) I tried to run the second.bat file but I got an error "Second.bat is Not intended to be run on its own"

Since nothing has changed from last attempt I'm guessing I'll still have the same leftover l2m files as before which allowed l2m to reinstall itself upon boot up.

I was wondering. The first program you recommended gave me a list of about 6 dll files in my system32 folder and guard.tmp. Even though it won't let me "clean" them can't I go into safe mode and manually remove them with killbox? Would that completely remove l2m? or at least destory it enough that it can't fix itself. I could live with a couple harmless registry entries that point to nowhere as long as it doesn't hurt anything or allow l2m to fix itself.

Hi,
Okay, now we have to remove them manually! This is a bit legthy process, as those DLL files load themselves very early (actually, they are loaded when user logs on)!

So, we have to unload those DLLs from memory before deleting them. Please download Process Explorer from Sysinternals and extract it to a folder.

Download KillBox, extract it to your desktop.

Download CCleaner and install it.

<<Save this webpage, as you may need it while you work in Safe Mode>>

Open a new file in NotePad and copy the contents of the below "Quote" box to it:-
Go to File Menu (in NotePad) > Save AS and type the filename as Fix.REG and save the file. Exit from NotePad.


Reboot to Safe Mode.


Now, run Procexp.exe (Process Explorer). It will display the list of running processes. Now, double-click on Winlogon.exe process to open its properties window. Here, click "Threads" tab. In this tab, DLLs loaded by the Winlogon.exe are listed. Locate the following filenames in that list and if you find them, select them one at a time and click "Kill" button to unload them.
Clic "OK" to exit from Winlogon.exe properties window.
Now, in Process Explorer main window, double-click on Explorer.exe process to open its properties window. Here, click the "Threads" tab and locate the same files mentioned as above and if they are found, kill them.


Exit from Process Explorer.


Run CCleaner, click "Options" button and here go to "Advanced" tab and uncheck the option "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours". Click OK to exit from the Options. Finally click "Run Cleaner" and click "OK" to continue cleaning.


Now, open Killbox.exe. Check the following box:-
Standard file kill
Highlight the first filepath in the below "Quote" box and Copy it.
Then in Killbox, paste it in the "Full path of the file to delete" textbox and click the Red X button to delete it.
Similarly, copy the second filepath from the above "Quote", and the paste it in KillBox and delete it. Repeat this step for the remaining files too (delete only one file at a time).


Double-click on the Fix.REG file and click "Yes" to merge it to Registry.


Finally, restart the PC to Normal Mode. Download WinPFind.ZIP and completely extract it to a folder. Then run WinPFind.exe and click "Start Scan". When the scan completes, click "Copy to Clipboard" button to copy the log it gives, and please post it here.
