Hi, crunchie,

My son ran VundoFix again, and it reported as below. However, even as he was sending me this log, the problem returned. Obviously there is something else well hidden that is building these new instances of Vundo.

Thanks again for your help in solving this problem.

First up, when you save the hijackthis log, can you go to the format Tab and check the wordwrap as you log is not working correctly in the tool I use to analyse it.

==

1. Download this file from one of the following links :

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/combofix.exe

2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply, along with a new hijackthis log.

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

IMO the main problem is that he s using Firefox but IE is still his default browser. He needs to make FF as his default browser.
In your FF browser Go to tools >> options >>main >> check the last option which says Always check if Firefox is the default browser on startup.
This should solve your issue.

Certain malware can actually start IE by themselves. Setting FF as the default browser will not remove the trojans that are on the pc now

We don't know if this was successful or not. If my son tells me the problem still exists, I'll post here. If this is my last message, then it's because the problem has not reemerged.

Thanks again for all your help.

Re: I use Firefox, but IE keeps opening by itself

Can you please do the following.


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

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


O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {ACB1E670-3217-45C4-A021-6B829A8A27CB} - (no file)


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

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


When your done, rescan your system and make sure the following isn't present:

N3 - Netscape ... 5CSBWeb_01.src (or) 5CSBWeb_02.src

If it is, then fix that entry again; sometimes it'll take more than one pass. The actual entry is ok, and won't be deleted, it's the java wrapper marked in red that needs to be removed.

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

Please go to Jotti's or to virustotal and have these files scanned. Post the results back here.

Hi, crunchie,

Here are the logs from the scan of the four drivers you asked for, along with a HijackThis log report. My son says his computer didn't display any symptoms since we ran combofix.exe.

You are welcome.


Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

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

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Download CCleaner and install, then run it. It will clear out your temp folders.
  1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
  2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
  3. Close when finished.

Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, AVG anti-spyware, Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D.
Run them all on a regular basis, following the maker's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

For XP users.
After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
To flush the XP system Restore Points.

Go to Start | Run and type msconfig and press enter.

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

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

If you have any more problems, post back.
