I've got an issue with my computer that I suspect is something along the lines of a trojan.BHO. I downloaded an infected file and received a pile of trouble with it but seem to have cleaned out several with the exception of whatever's causing this:

Currently apparent effects on this computer:
-1- Trying to click any link from an internet search engine automatically redirects me to a gibberish link that is usually some sort of advertisement site. Copying the address listed below the result and pasting it into the address bar allows me to bypass this problem.
-2- Loading a Wikipedia page automatically redirects me to the fake site XP Antivirus 2008. Closing the browser while this page is open gives me a message window where if I try to close it will reopen the browser and go back to XP Antivirus 2008.
-3- I'm blocked from downloading any more advanced anti-spyware/virus tools such as Hijackthis or ESET; When I click any such links, my browser says it was unable to connect to the site. I can still get them by downloading on one of the other computers and moving them to mine with a flash drive.
-4- System Restore has had all its restore points removed.

What I've done so far:
-Symantec spotted a Joke.blusod and was unable to remove it.
-Scanned with Spy Sweeper, but computer crashed before it could find anything.
-Scanned with Malwarebytes, which deleted the files for Joke.blusod and Trojan.blusod. It spotted Trojan.BHO, Trojan.Vundo, with the mlJDwUlk.dll file, but was unable to remove them.
-Used VundoFix, which found nothing. (Starting from here, all actions were taken in Safe Mode with System Restore disabled.)
-Used SDFix, which removed the mlJDwUlk.dll file, nvrsul32.dll, BNSGTEMP.TMP, and several .exe.bat files. This disabled effects 1 and 2 until my computer was restarted.
-Scanned with Malwarebytes, which found nothing.
-Used SDFix, which removed the nvrsul32.dll file. Had the same effect as last time. (The first two problems were gone until my computer was shut down at night.)
-Scanned with AVG, which found nothing. It deleted a Multimedia Fusion file and two Game Guard files.

Suspicious files which I have spotted:
-mlJDwUlk.dll (Located in System32, supposedly deleted by SDFix. I cannot find it)
-nvrsul32.dll (Located in System32, SDFix deletes this, but it seems to return on start-up.)
-CdKUBJlm.ini (Located in System32, is named like the mlJDwUlk.dll file and set to hidden as a "Protected Operating System File".)
-CdKUBJlm.ini2 (Same as above. I looked inside these files and they appear to be one long line of gibberish with lots of symbols and numbers.)

Sorry it has taken so long to reply. Can you attach the Malwarebytes log for us? We really need to see that. I'm going through your HJT log and will get back with you on that, but attach that Malwarebytes log ok?

Here're the two Malwarebytes logs which had results. The first is when I first scanned with Malwarebytes, the second is after that, where it would tell me to restart, but would have the exact same results when I scanned after restarting. These are both from before I used SDFix, afterwards Malwarebytes could find nothing.

Hi Ixidor,
First of all, you are running TWO antivirus programs, AVG8 and Symantec/Norton. This is an absolute NO-NO. Presuming that the AVG8 is the free version, go to Add/Remove and Uninstall it. Then do a file search on the computer for anything AVG and delete it. IF you paid for both programs then you choose...whichever one you want to keep, keep it, but UNINSTALL the other one completely immediately. You also show you are running Zone Alarm Firewall which is fine, as long as it is the ONLY ONE firewall you are running. If you are also using the Windows Firewall, turn it off. Same rule applies to firewalls....ONLY ONE.

Now one reason Malwarebytes Anti-Malware may not have been able to remove all files, the database is out of date, current one is 1032 and yours shows 1012. I know you had to download it on another machine and then copy it to yours so that is probably the reason. Once you did have it installed did you attempt to update it? Now Malwarebytes does show it removed the files, and in fact the second log shows fewer than the first one and the ones it found are actually not exactly the same files in all cases. The two antivirus programs running also probably played a big part in this also and you need to close all unnecessary programs, including browser and Spysweeper from running while these removal programs are running.

Please re-enable System Restore if possible. One thing we prefer here is You will need to flush your restore points AFTER the fixing process has been completed to ensure that no malware is preserved. An infected System Restore is better than NO system restore. Plus a program like Malwarebytes WILL clean out infected files from System Restore.

Do you have the SDFix logs?

Please run HJT again and place a checkmark next to the following entries;
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://mysearch.myway.com/jsp/dellsidebar.jsp?p=DE

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = 220.72.196.70:6588
(this traces to kornet.net) Is this your ISP? If NOT place a checkmark next to this one.

Once you have placed the checkmarks then click the Fix Checked button.
Exit HJT.
Reboot and run a new HJT scan and post the log here.

Alright, here's what I've done:

  • Uninstalled AVG and rebooted as it told me to.
  • Windows Firewall has been disabled ever since I installed ZoneAlarm.
  • System Restore is on.
  • Ran Hijackthis and fixed the entries specified. MySearch.myway.com wasn't removed. (The AVG entries were already gone due to the uninstall.)
  • Checked Malwarebytes, and it's now capable of updating and updated to 1032.
  • Scanned with Malwarebytes and found numerous Trojan.Agent files. Malwarebytes told me to restart to finish deletion of some of the files.
  • Scanned again with Malwarebytes, found nothing.
  • Ran Hijackthis again to check if MySearch.myway.com still couldn't be removed. It could not, so I looked it up and it appears to come preinstalled with some Dell computers. (This computer is a Dell.)

It appears the negative effects on my computer have been removed. I can use search engines, load sites that were previously blocked, use Wikipedia, and my browsers aren't eating up double the memory anymore.

Now for the mass of logs... Two of SDFix, one for the final Hijackthis, and one for the Malwarebytes' scan after I was able to update it.

Ok, looks good. One thing I would advise is to download and install SpywareBlaster
It is really a MUST HAVE program. It is FREE and great thing about this program it DOES NOT run in the background but it absolutely protects the computer by doing the following;

Prevents the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
Blocks spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
Restricts the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

Download, install, update and then enable all and close the program. That's it.
Just remember to manually update and enable new items weekly.
You also need to update your Java program. You are currently running version 6 update 1, newest version is version 6 update 7.
Go HERE Choose the Offline Install program. Save it to the desktop. Once that has downloaded then close out your browsers. Go to Add/Remove and Uninstall ALL previous versions that you find. Once you have done that then install the New version by double clicking that install file on the desktop. Once it installs then go HERE to verify the new version has been correctly installed.
Finally, set a new System Restore point by disabling System Restore, wait a minute and then turn it back on.

Alright, thanks for helping me sort out that issue.

I have an old version of Spyware Blaster installed which I can update. A friend was recommending Spybot Search & Destroy though, any idea what the difference between the two is?

Spybot is an EXCELLENT program. It is a great FREE scanner, remover program. I highly recommend it. You can download the newest version HERE Save it to the desktop. Double click to install. Be sure that youDO NOT to enable the TeaTimer portion of the program, it frankly is more trouble than it is worth and can interfere with removal of nasty items should the case arrive. Once you have it installed then be sure to update it. Keep it manually updated each week and once it is updated then always remember to do a full scan with it. Once the scan is finished then have it remove any critical items it finds.
Now, as for the difference between SpywareBlaster and Spybot...a lot. SpywareBlaster is a protection program, no scanning involved, just install, update weekly, enable new protections and close the program. Be sure to enable protection for Internet Explorer AND Firefox if you use that browser also. Plus, Enable the Restricted Sites portion of SpywareBlaster too.
When you scan with Spybot for the first time it is likely you will find a lot of items it should remove BUT after that, if you also have SpywareBlaster on the computer the items Spybot will find in it's scans will be much less.
A good antivirus program, firewall, Spybot and SpywareBlaster all work very well together and will help to keep the computer safe.
