I can see you've tried to get rid of some trojan or other (Winser.exe) as they are listed file missing in the HJT list.

---------------------------------------------------------

At least the above are identifiable baddies. if you know the date and approximate time that it could have happened, then you can hunt for clumps of silly named files around the same timeline. When you've fixed the timeline more precisely, you can search for any files created at the same time - they are suspect. Any EXE files in C:\ and get rid of them manually if necessary.

You should read the other SOLVED posts in this forum and use the method described in the thread, using tools such as ComboFix and others.

Some kind heart might take you through the steps - but if I were you I'd just get on with it in a methodical manner.

Each time you reboot, the trojan will load and likely spawn. Note the time of reboot so that you can spot the file size of spawned trojans so that you can be sure of what you are deleting as you work your way through your system.

Whichever method you choose for ridding yourself of the trojan, it's a long haul.

Hi, Suspishio, thrum tagged onto another thread and I asked him to post anew; I already had made up my reply so I'm just going to paste it here - hope you don't mind..?
Beauty, thrum ... this saves a lot of confusion, and you don't want me confused, now do you?
==Download this file to your desktop: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
==Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop from http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4
=Restart your system in Safe Mode.
Double-click VundoFix.exe to start it. Click the Scan for Vundo button.
When the scan completes click the Remove Vundo button.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files - click YES
Your desktop will then go blank as the process of removing Vundo starts.
When completed it will prompt that it will restart your computer - click OK.
Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove. In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.

!!! Check the Vundofix log for any found files that were not deleted - if present rerun Vundofix !!!

=ComboFix:- [normal mode is fine] - to run it dclick combofix.exe and follow the prompts to start it. When finished, it will produce a log, C:\Combofix.txt - post that log in your next reply.
A word of caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs reboot to restore the desktop.

Post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt, Combofix.txt plus a new HijackThis log.

@ Gerbil

I'm grateful you stepped in/continued.

I feel sorry for people with zero replies and I like to point them to the method I employ (which I wish would be stickied - 2nd Sep 07) and which I'm fully qualified to speak to.

So if none of you Vundo pros reply, I help out by identifying the baddies and giving them a hybrid of my method combined with ComboFix. I think I've got one cured that way out of three; not good enough for my taste.

Anyway, back to you for now and sticky my post!

Sadly....it's not solved, it doing the same thing again, it was fine for about an hour, then just... yeah.

I was only on MSN to send an e-mail and talk to a few people then it started up as I closed MSN.

I can see a vundo file ramaining in the combofix log. I know vundofix can remove it - perhaps you should dl a fresh copy and try again. We cannnot just delete it because it would have files waiting to recreate it, and those do not show themselves.

thrum, let's clean up your log entries first; start hijackthis, select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {376339FC-F23C-430B-8FF6-E3F6BDC0C859} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\geebc.dll

Good. Now to remove this service:
O23 - Service: Win PPPe - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\winser.exe (file missing)
==Go Start, run, type services.msc -and press Enter. Maximise the window and at foot select Extended tab, scroll to the specific service, rclick it, select properties. Write down the exact Service Name. Press Stop if it is highlighted [you may have to set the service to Disable first]. Close Services, now type this line into the run text box and press Enter:
sc delete "exact Service Name" - don't be silly now....

Okay. Note that I have modified the Vundofix run instructions. Please delete C:\Vundofix.txt:
=Restart your system in Safe Mode.
Double-click VundoFix.exe to start it. Click the Scan for Vundo button.
*****When the scan completes rclick inside the white text box, lclick the Addmore files? line, paste into the new window this pathname:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\geebc.dll

Click the Add Files button, and next the Remove Vundo button.******
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files - click YES
Your desktop will then go blank as the process of removing Vundo starts.
When completed it will prompt that it will restart your computer - click OK.
Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove. In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.

!!! Check the Vundofix log for any found files that were not deleted - if present rerun Vundofix !!!
Post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt plus a new HijackThis log.

==Please copy the text between the lines to a notepad [format/wordwrap unchecked] and save as CFScript.txt to where you saved Combofix -that is, to a folder or your desktop.
__________________________________________________________

Registry::

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\lsa]
"Authentication Packages"= hex(7):6d,73,76,31,5f,30,00,00
__________________________________________________________

Good. Now drag CFScript.txt onto Combofix [drag the icon if on your desktop, or the filename if in a folder]. Combofix will start, let it run, if your firewall prompts then allow all; post the log.

So. Post vundofix, combofix and a fresh hijackthis log [normal mode].
