Hi and welcome to Daniweb forums :).

Can you please do the following.

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

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\lsass.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:

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\system\lsass.exe
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=userinit.exe,C:\WINDOWS\system\lsass.exe

O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1

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:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\lsass.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system\lsass.exe

-

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.

[suhailpuri]

its still the same as before....no folder options are back....and no other changes aswell

[crunchie]

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log.

Can you please do the following.

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

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

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\system\lsass.exe
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=userinit.exe,C:\WINDOWS\system\lsass.exe

O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1

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

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

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:\WINDOWS\system\lsass.exe
C:\WINDOWS\lsass.exe
Programs to launch on reboot:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\HijackThis.exe

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

Hey guys,
I have run across something similar to this a few times. Hard to tell from just a HJT Log, but.....

You may likely have a baddie in the Nuwar or Peacomm family.
Some components may be protected by a rootkit.
Also - you may have been initailly infected via P2P download.... Food for thought.

O4 - Global Startup: MSconfig.exe --> may be an SDBot

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://zinblog.com/ --> not sure how this fits into the puzzle, may be re-infecting you...

Cheers :)
