Hello, I noticed a program called winfixer 2005 was being installed on my computer the other day when I was online and I did not authorize it. I deleted it and it came back so I am wondering if it's bad and how to get rid of it. Here is my hijack this log. Thanks for your time.

You've got a lot more than the Winfixer problem going on there. :(

Please perform the following general cleaning procedures:

You will need to disconnect from the Internet for some of the following, so you' should print out the following instructions or save them into a text file with Notepad.


1. Run at least two or three of the following online anti-virus/anti-spyware scans and let them fix what they can:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp?cid=9914
http://www.pandasoftware.com/active...n_principal.htm
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php


2. Download, install, and run the following (free) detection and removal tools (use each program's online update function before running them to make sure you have the most current updates installed).

After each utility completes its fixes, reboot before continuing on to the next utility; have the utilities fix all of the problematic/malicious items they find:

ewido Security Suite - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
Ad Aware SE Personal - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/


3. Reboot into safe mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up)

- 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" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders (but not the folders themselves):

Important: One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if any data that you care about is living in those Temp folders, you need to move it to a safe location now, or it will be erased along with everything else!

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

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

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

Note- 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. Windows will allow you to delete the versions of those files which exist in sub-folders within the main Temp/Temorary folders, but might not let you delete the versions of those files that exist in the main Temp folders themselves; this is normal and OK.

- Empty your Recycle Bin.


4. Reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post the new log. Also post the scan log that ewido generated.

Ok, I have run the free scans and deleted all the files from the folders you have suggested. 1 file called index.dat would not delete from the cookiesfolder it said it was in use and i was in safe mode not connected to the internet.

Here is my hijack this log and ewido log

Sorry you've been getting overlooked :(

Go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and remove (if present) SurfSideKick (or something similar).

Reboot into Safe Mode.

Run a full system scan with Ewido, allowing it to fix whatever it finds (note: you will be posting the log from this scan with your next reply).

Still in Safe Mode, scan with HijackThis and have it fix the following entries:

Thanks for your reply. I don't mind getting over looked I'm just glad you guys have the time to help those of us who need it. You gotta have some time for yourself. I did as you suggested and here are the new logs. I also found your links very useful and plan to try firefox out. I'll have to do some reading b4 i start. Do you know of any useful links? Can you run firefox and ie on the same comp? Thanks for your reply once again.

Do you know of any useful links?

If you mean links for info on Firefox, I'd suggest checking out the resources on their site.

Can you run firefox and ie on the same comp?

Of course; you can install and run as many web browsing programs as you want. Actually, even if you do choose to use Firefox as you primary browser, you'll still need to use IE to get updates from Microsoft; MS (unfortunately) doesn't let you do that with browsers other than IE.


In terms of your latest HJT log- it looks much better, but there are still a few leftovers to clean up. Please do the following:


1. Run another HJT scan and have it fix these entries:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [stb] C:\WINDOWS\system32\stb.exe
O16 - DPF: {15AD6789-CDB4-47E1-A9DA-992EE8E6BAD6} - http://static.windupdates.com/cab/W...e/bridge-c3.cab

O18 - Filter: text/html - {DFAA31C8-A356-4313-9D95-5EDAB46C5070} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\qlink32.dll

2. Reboot into Safe Mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up).

* 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" and "Hide extentions for known file types".


* Locate and delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\stb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\qlink32.dll


* Empty your Recycle Bin.


3. Reboot normally, run HJT again, and post a new log.

I erased the the stb.exe and found no instances of qlink32.dll. Here is my new hijack this log after removing the entries you suggested.

Also I had my windows set up to automatically download updates but when i went to update manually it told me my windows wasn't licensed. This comp was built for me and i think they used a pirated version of xp. So do i need to go buy one or what? Or should I complain to the guy who built the pc for me. I think he does it on the side for extra cash so I'm probably screwed. Just buy one I guess. Thanks for your time you,ve been very helpful.

Congratulations- your latest HJT log is clean. :)

Quite possible.

So do i need to go buy one or what?

Yes.

Or should I complain to the guy who built the pc for me.

That won't do you much good; the guy probably knew what he was (wrongly) doing, so I doubt confronting him will get you very far.

I think he does it on the side for extra cash so I'm probably screwed. Just buy one I guess.

Yes, and yes.

Well thank you once again. I will buy a new xp. Also I will try out firefox and see how it is. Cheers.

Glad we could help; feel free to ask us if you have any further questions. :)
