Aug 3rd, 2006
I've been recently having troubles opening a few files. BearShare, Morpheus and Limewire to be exact. I regularly used Bearshare, then one day it kept closing on me. So I downloaded Limewire. Same deal. Now with Morpheus, same deal. Here's my Hijackthis log. Any and all help is appreciated.

This link repeatedly keeps popping up when I browse sites. I fear that it is indeed spyware. I don't understand why I am being ignored. I seriously need the help right now. Someone, ANYONE, please respond!

Can you please do the following.


===============

Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

NavHelper
Red Swoosh
WildTangent

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

===============

Next, Open a command prompt by:

1. Clicking "Start", then "Run...".
2. Enter "cmd" (without the quotes).
3. Enter "services.msc" (without the quotes).

-

Now, locate and 'stop' the following services, if present:

SystemTools ... (C:\WINDOWS\System32\testtestt.exe)

Look carefully, since the name of the service (above) can be anywhere in the entry; also be careful not to 'stop' any required system services. Once stopped, set this service to disabled.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\testtestt.exe
C:\Program Files\RSSoft\RSEDNClient.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\taskdir.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

C:\Program Files\RSSoft
C:\Program Files\MyGlobalSearch
C:\Program Files\WildTangent
C:\Program Files\NavExcel
C:\Program Files\MediaGateway
C:\WINDOWS\System32\_zskwrkni05`

files...

C:\WINDOWS\System32\testtestt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\taskdir.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\fia.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\MATTHU~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\8292\explorer.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\spoolsvv.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Documents\Settings\artm_new.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear use arrow up to highlight
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

Please uninstall Ewido and download and install the latest version of ewido anti-spyware tool
  • Close all other Applications Select language click Ok
  • Click I Agree
  • Click next
  • Click Install
  • Click Finish
  • Wait and Ewido will open to the main screen automatically.
  • Wait again a few minutes and Ewido Should Auto update itself. If it doesn't click update at top of screen.
  • This is very important to get updates
  • When updating has finished. Close Ewido.
If you have an "always on" connection to the internet, physically disconnect that connection until you are finished with Safe Mode and have rebooted back into normal mode.
  • Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear use arrow up to highlight
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.
  • For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site: HERE

    You MUST manage to get into Safe Mode for the fix to work.
Make sure to close all open windows/programs/folders. Have nothing else open while ewido performs its scan!
  • Open Ewido
  • Click on scanner top of Ewido sceen
  • Click on Settings
  • Under How to Act click on Recommended Action choose Quarantine
  • Under How to scan all boxes should be selected
  • Under Possibly unwanted software all boxes should be selected
  • On right side under Reports: click on Automatically generate report after every scan.
  • Under What to scan select scan every file
  • Click On scan Tab
  • Click on Complete system scan
  • Let the program scan the machine It can take awhile give it time.
  • When scan has finished At bottom of screen click Apply all Actions
  • Click Save report
  • Click Save Report as (Save as window's screen should pop up.)
  • Click desktop
  • Click Save
  • Exit ewido
Reboot back to normal mode

At the moment, my computer is running fine. I'm going to run a few of the programs that were giving me trouble and then post an update to let you know how things are going. Does my scan look good?

Still got a couple of hangers there.

Can you please do the following.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ÿ_zskDJ_CMJYJTBEXWE] C:\WINDOWS\System32\_zskwrkni05`\EWXEBTJYJMC_JD.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [ÿ_zskDJ_CMJYJTBEXWE] C:\WINDOWS\System32\_zskwrkni05`\EWXEBTJYJMC_JD.exe

O20 - Winlogon Notify: artm_newreg - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Documents\Settings\artm_new.dll


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

C:\WINDOWS\System32\_zskwrkni05`

files...

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Documents\Settings\artm_new.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

I'm still having some issues with my Bearshare and Windows Movie Maker. They're automatically closing upon open. If I delete the BearShare part here in the HiJackThis log and then reinstall it, will that fix anything?

Also, how does the log look now?

Don't fix the bearshare with hijackthis, but rather uninstall and reinstall it.

==

Still got a persistent trojan there.

Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows and hit the "Fix checked" button.

O20 - Winlogon Notify: artm_newreg - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Documents\Settings\artm_new.dll

================

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.
  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop

2. Copy all the text (including the 'Files to delete') contained in the code box below to your clipboard by highlighting it and pressing Ctrl+C:

•
•
•
•
Files to delete:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Documents\Settings\artm_new.dll

Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.
  • Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
  • Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script"
  • Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing (Ctrl+V).
  • Click Done
  • Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.
4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:
  • It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
  • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log by using Add/Reply

I have uploaded a screenshot of what the string of characters should look like in Avenger.
