Hijacked? Hijackthis log help please

[computergrammy]

Well I managed to get this far. Here is my log. Computer will not Search files and Folders. Computer will not "Run" anything, just get error that files cannot be found, etc. So I can't even "Run" to get to edit registry, which I have read in a few links. I did receive warning that browser could be hijacked. I can not update Windows. Originally I was getting errors caused by my Norton, so I have removed that and reinstalled it(which wasn't easy either) and they have gone away, but that hasn't fixed everything. My Norton Antivirus doesn't pick up any viruses. I've tried Spybot S&D and it says "Congratulations, No threats" , which I find hard to believe. So I removed that and installed XoftSpy and left that run its fixes. Also ran PCDoctor just in case. Tried it all in safe mode and not in safe mode. Can Anyone Help? It would be greatly appreciated!

Hi computergrammy, welcome to the site. :)

We need to take of a couple things before we proceed:

1. Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.0

You are using an older version of HJT. please download the latest version (1.99.1) from the link below and post a log from that version:

http://www.stevewolfonline.com/Downloads/DMR/Spyware%20Tools/HJT/HijackThis.exe

2. C:\WINDOWS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5\KVLJQU7T\HIJACKTHIS[1].EXE

The log entry above indicates that you are running HJT from within a Temp/Temporary folder. Please do the following:

Create a folder outside of any Temp/Temporary folders for HJT and move it there now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if HijackThis (and other data that you care about) is living in those Temp folders, it will be erased along with everything else!
Temp/Temporary folders are just that- Temporary. They are not meant for permanent storage, as their contents are often delete in the course of troubleshooting, by running disk clean-up utilities, etc.

DMR Thanks so much for your reply! Here is my new log.

That's better; thanks.

There is only one set of entries in your log which need to be fixed, but they won't be cause of the problems you describe. They look like the result of either a prior trojan/spyware/virus/etc infection, or a simple mistake.

Run HijackThis again, put a check in the box to the left of the following items, and then hit the "Fix checked" button:

O15 - ProtocolDefaults: '@ivt' protocol is in My Computer Zone, should be Intranet Zone (HKLM)
O15 - ProtocolDefaults: 'file' protocol is in My Computer Zone, should be Internet Zone (HKLM)
O15 - ProtocolDefaults: 'ftp' protocol is in My Computer Zone, should be Internet Zone (HKLM)
O15 - ProtocolDefaults: 'http' protocol is in My Computer Zone, should be Internet Zone (HKLM)
O15 - ProtocolDefaults: 'https' protocol is in My Computer Zone, should be Internet Zone (HKLM)

You can quit/close HJT after that.

Can you give us any more information concerning the problems you've described please? Anything that might give us some clues as to the possible cause would help.

- When did the problems start to occur?

- Had you added/removed/upgraded any software at around that time (think carefully)?

- Have you received any other errors aside from the "cannot find file" error? If so, please post the full and exact text of the errors.

- What exactly does happen when you try to get Windows Updates?

- Do you recall the names of any of the infections XoftSpy found/fixed?

- Windows ME and XP have a feature called "System Restore", which can be used to restore the state/configuration of your computer back to the way it was at some given point in the past. If you know (at least approximately) the date at which the computer started to act up, you may be able to restore the system to the (working) state it was in just before that.
"Rolling back" your computer's configuration by using System Restore might erase whatever change brough on the problems.

Microsoft has further info and instructions on using System Restore in ME here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsME/using/computerhealth/articles/systemrestore.asp

Please note that System Restore does not differentiate between "good" and "bad" changes; software changes that you made (program installations or upgrades, for example) between the point that you restore back to and now may be erased. None of your personal documents/data will be deleted, but if you downloaded that latest and greatest version of Solitare, you might have to reinstall it.

I had those exact 015 Protocol Default errors found in the first HiJackThis log, here's what caused them for me:

When I found out SPYBOT's restricted sites were being placed in my Registry, I was appalled, the Registry is already fragile enuf. I removed them by deleting the ZoneMap key (too many to delete one by one). Wrong answer. HiJack spotted the problem (with the 015 errors), but could not fix it (I think it wants to edit the key values, not insert the keys).

The same set of keys exists in LOCAL COMPUTER (the above delete was from CURRENT USER). I exported the ZoneMap key to a reg file, edited the file, replacing LOCAL COMPUTER with CURRENT USER everywhere). I re-added the new key (ZoneMap) to CURRENT USER, then imported over the top of it.

Problem fixed.

A much better answer for restricted sites is to use the HOSTS.TXT file to specify them, (www.mvps.org, updated regularly) . I think MicroSoft only used the Registry approach so they could better make the claim that IE was "embedded" in Windows....
