Please help.
Whenever I open IE, the windows seem to replicate on my taskbar and I can't close it! There are two types of windows...one says

OOO-Microsoft Internet Explorer - which doesn't do anything except stay there and 'replicate' - I can not close this. When I do, it just returns - opens another window.

and

IE - Microsoft Internet Explorer - which has smiley faces on and an free fries or burgers or whatever ad they can think of.

---I checked this forum on how to remove hotoffers and it worked. Thanks! I'm hoping you could help me with this problem as well. My computer is starting to slow down.

Thank you!

Hi Adrianne, welcome to TechTalk. :)


Please do the following to start us off:

1. Download HijackThis:

2. Once downloaded, follow these instructions to install and run the program:

- 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.

- Run HijackThis, but do not have HJT fix anything yet; only have it scan your system! Once the scan is complete, the "Scan" button will turn into an option to "Save log...". Save the log in the folder you created for HiajckThis, open the log in Windows Notepad, and cut-n-paste the entire contents of the log here.

The log contents will tell us a lot about what "nasties" have crept into your system, and once we analyse the log we can tell you what to do from there.

Here's the log...Thank you!

----------

1. C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

The log entry above indicates that you had at least 1 instance of Internet Explorer running when you ran HijackThis.
Before fixing problems with HijackThis, you must make sure to close/quit ALL instances of your web browsers. HijackThis cannot fully perform its fixes while browsers are running.
Since you won't be online while you're performing the fixes, you might want to print out our instruction or save them to a local text file on your computer.


2. Once Internet Explorer is closed, have HJT fix:

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".

- Locate and delete the following files:
p2cntcreate.exe
c:\windows\system32\bypcbs.exe
odeund.exe

- Delete the following folder entirely:
C:\Program Files\Ares

- 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. Local Settings\Temp
2. Cookies
3. History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

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

- Reboot normally.


4. Run HijackThis again, post a new log, and let us know if the problems persist.

Thank you. I will try to do that and post a new log.
One quick question though...by deleting C:\Program Files\Ares...will that program be deleted? I use Ares to download songs and if possible would like to keep it.

Thanks!

Sorry, my mistake; I should have asked about Ares.
I remebered an "ares.exe" file being associated with a certain trojan/worm, which is why I asked you to remove it. However, I forgot that there was also an "Ares" filesharing program as well. While I personally don't advise people to use such sharing/downloading programs, if you do want to use it, just ignore my HJT fixes regarding the program.

I did what you told me although I did not delete the Ares folder (and it seemed to work out okay. :) Thanks again. It was working out fine. No annoying popups. However, I noticed that I couldn't get my windows media player to work. Brilliant little me decided to download it again to make it work and was instantly bombarded with those pesky little popups once again. It's working (the media player) but i'd rather not have it if it means having all those popups. I got I did another scan and here it is. I didn't want to delete anything because I might do more damage.

Thanks again!

I missed something that's been lurking your logs:

C:\WINDOWS\system\rrsi.exe

I don't recognize that file and I'm a bit suspicious of it; can you do the following please?:

- Open Windows Explorer and locate the file.

- Right-click on it with your mouse. A menu box should pop up; choose Properties from that menu.

- Look through the information in the various Properties tabs and post any indentifying information that you can find there (file size, modification/creation date, company name, etc.).

Good morning. :) Here we go.

rrsi.exe
size: 10.5 kb
size on disk - 12.0 kb
created: wednesday, March 16, 2005 5:34:37 am
modified: wednesday, March 16, 2005 5:34:37 am

--- what does this do?
also, what are dll files? (are they even files?)

---i didn't do anything yet - didn't delete anything so the log should be the same as the one i posted. I'm waiting for instructions on what to delete. :)

Thank you!


btw, i can't seem to get on safe mode by pressing the F8 key on start up. Is there another way?

--:)

1. Was there any version information, company name, etc. in the Properties tabs of the rrsi.exe file? I've never seen that file before and can't find any information about it online. Also, it's running out of your C:\Windows\system folder, which is not where .exe files usually live on an XP system. All of that makes me suspicious of the file, but I don't want to tell you to delete it until I'm sure there's no further indentifying info in the file's Properties.


2. .dll files are Dynamically Linked Libraries, also called Dynamically Loaded Libraries. They aren't programs in and of themselves, but rather they contain instructional code used by programs (or Windows itself) in the course of performing different tasks. Most dlls are legit, but malicious infections can also use dlls to accomplish their "dirty deeds".


3. What does happen when you try to get into Safe Mode?
If Windows just boots as it normally does, you may not be hitting F8 at just the right time. The timing can be pretty tight, and many systems have a "fast boot" option enabled which makes it even harder to catch the F8 keystroke in time to bring up the Safe Mode boot menu. Try repeatedly tapping the F8 key just after the computer starts to boot; you need to catch it well before you see the "Welcome to Windows" or "Windows is Starting Up" screen.

That's all I could find about the rrsi.exe - nothing else. :(

I still get lots of pop ups. I regret downloading that windows media player.

Been hitting the F8 key as soon as I switch in on.
What else do I need to delete to get rid of the popups?


Thanks again. :)

This is the recent log.
I had norton scan rrsi.exe and after scanning, it disappeared from the folder...I don't know if it's still in there so I'm posting this log.

Thank you.

rris.exe doesn't seem to be running anymore, but you've got new gremlins now:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {C0EE1C5E-D2BD-FB4A-9009-D7C8688B7E9D} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\qnpi.dll
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Ifrjava] C:\WINDOWS\System32\j?vaw.exe


Let's see if a few other utilities can help here:

A) Download and run Ad Aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy (download links are in my sig below).

Follow these directions for configuring Ad Aware (directions courtesy of our member "crunchie"):

1. Install Ad-Aware SE, keeping the default options. However, some of the settings will need to be changed before your first scan

2.Close ALL windows except Ad-Aware SE

3. Click on the‘world’ icon at the top right of the Ad-Aware SE window and let AdAware SE update the reference list for the adware and malware.

4. Once the update is finished click on the ‘Gear’ icon (second from the left at the top of the window) to access the preferences/settings window

1) In the ‘General’ window make sure the following are selected in green:
*Automatically save log-file
*Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
*Safe Mode (always request confirmation)

Under Definitions:
*Prompt to udate outdated definitions - set the number of days


2) Click on the ‘Scanning’ button on the left and select in green :

Under Driver, Folders & Files:
*Scan Within Archives

Under Select drives & folders to scan -
*choose all hard drives

Under Memory & Registry: all green
*Scan Active Processes
*Scan Registry
*Deep Scan Registry
*Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
*Scan my Hosts file


3) Click on the ‘Advanced’ button on the left and select in green:

Under Shell Integration:
*Move deleted files to recycle bin

Under Logfile Detail Level: (all green)
*include addtional object information
*DESELECT - include negligible objects information
*include environment information

Under Alternate Data Streams:
*Don't log streams smaller than 0 bytes
*Don't log ADS with the following names: CA_INOCULATEIT


4) Click the ‘Tweak’ button and select in green:

Under the ‘Scanning Engine’:
*Unload recognized processes during scanning
*Scan registry for all users instead of current user only


Under the ‘Cleaning Engine’:
*Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot


Under the Log Files:
*Include basic Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
*Include additional Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
*Please do not check or make green: Include Module list in logfile


5. Click on ‘Proceed’ to save the settings.

6. Click ‘Start’

*Choose:'Perform Full System Scan'
*DESELECT "Search for negligible risk entries", as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.

7. Click ‘Next’ and Ad-Aware SE will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected and clean automatically.

8. If Ad-Aware SE finds bad entries, you will receive a list of what it found in the window

9. Save the log file when it asks and then click ‘finish’

10. REBOOT to complete the removal of what Ad-Aware SE found


B) Run SpyBot.

When you first run SpyBot, it will walk you through a Wizard which will perform a few critical functions (making a registry backup, getting the latest updates, etc.).

1. Perform all of the Wizard's tasks.
2. Run the program. Once it completes, have it fix everything it finds.
3. Reboot.


C) Boot into Safe Mode (do this by hitting the F8 key as the computer is booting) and:

- 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".

- For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete everything inside the following folders (don't delete the folders themselves though):

1. Local Settings\Temp
2. Cookies
3. History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

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

(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.)

- Empty your Recycle Bin.

- Reboot normally.


D) Perform at least two of the following online scans:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp?cid=9914
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/


E) Run HJT again and post a fresh log.

Good afternoon :)
Okay, I did what you posted and here's my new log.
I still get the popups. I was wondering if it was the media explorer (windows) that I downloaded...please tell me what to do. Thank you!!!

1.

I was wondering if it was the media explorer (windows) that I downloaded...

In an earlier post you specifically said Windows Media Player, but here you're saying "the media explorer". Are you referring to Windows Media Player from Microsoft in both cases? If not, please tell us the exact name of the program in question.


2. Grrr!! "qnpi.dll" doesn't want to leave, and "rrsi.exe" has come back to play. :mad:


A) Download the Pocket KillBox and unzip the downloaded file to your desktop.

- Run Pocket Killbox, paste the following file path into the "...file to delete" box, click "Standard File Kill" and "End Explorer Shell While Killing File", and then click on the button with the red circle and an X in the middle:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\qnpi.dll

- Repeat the above process for:

C:\WINDOWS\system\rrsi.exe

- If you get no errors when you do the deletions, reboot your computer.

- If either deletion fails, do not reboot yet. Instead:
Run Pocket Killbox again, paste C:\WINDOWS\System32\qnpi.dll into the Delete box and click on Delete on Reboot. Next click on the button with the red circle and an X in the middle. You will get a message saying "File with be deleted on next reboot, Process and Reboot now?" Click "No".

Repeat the process for C:\WINDOWS\system\rrsi.exe, and this time click Yes when prompted to reboot.


B) Once the system has rebooted, run HJT again and have it fix:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {C0EE1C5E-D2BD-FB4A-9009-D7C8688B7E9D} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\qnpi.dll

C) Reboot, run HJT again, and post the new log.

My mistake. I meant windows media player from microsoft (both cases).

Okay...will do that right now.

(I find that i'm saying GRRR more often now as well - the pop-ups are driving me nuts!!!)

Thanks!

Here's the log after running killbox...

Log is still clean. :)

Let us know if you're still getting popup or not. HJT is a great tool, but it isn't supposed to detect and remove all of the possible infections out there. If you are still having problems there are other things we can do to get rid of them.

Thank You So Much :d

:cheesy: No pop-ups so far so that's good :D

Try downloading these other Virus, Adware, Spy, and Trojan removal Programs they are also Great addition to all the others, but know that you can run them separately, but only run one Virus program on your PC at a time and one popup blocker as running two will conflict with others.
