about: blank virus

[zexy]

I've been looking through some old posts on this topic, which I do need help on. Most all of them say I ought to run some spyware programs, then HJT, and post a log. So, this is my log after running Ad-Aware personal SE, and SpySubtract. CWShredder catches nothing in normal mode. Any and all assistance would be appreciated.

1. Please download the following two "about:blank"- related removal tools. Also print out the instructions given for each regarding their setup and execution:

About:Buster and HSRemove

Run About:Buster and then run HSRemove, being sure to follow the directions you printed out in each case.

2. Open your Add/Remove Programs control panel and uninstall the PartyPoker program if it's listed there.

3. Run HijackThis again and post a new log.

[zexy]

I was unable to get the about: Buster program, as the link is either bad, blocked, or broken. I did get HSRemove, and uninstalled PartyPoker. This is now my current log. Thank you for your quick response.

Your right- that about:Buster link seems to have gotten b0rked. Let's try again; I just tested this link and it works for me:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4289.html

Once you've run About:Buster, please do the following:

- 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".

- 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.

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

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, run HJT again, and post a new log.

I honestly doubt that About:Buster is going to do the trick for all of this, but I'm hoping it can help at least somewhat.

I have done as instructed. Here is my new log.

Do you use Viewpoint Manager? It's typically installed without the users knowledge.

Download Hoster from here:

Run it, and when it opens, click on the Restore Original Hosts button and then exit Hoster.

I have deleted all such things as you told me to, dlh6213. I believe it's gotten rid of the virus! I was unable to delete the O23 security thing. It simply came back after HJT nixed it. I'm guessing it was telling me there was a lack of something, so you can't kill what's not there.

Here is my new log upon reboot, just in case.

[Kinseeker69]

There's actually an uninstaller for about:bank I had it but lost it when i caught the Blaster virus.

[dlh6213]

What about the Viewpoint Manager? If it's not something you use, you should remove it.

[zexy]

I shall delete it. I am on a deletion spree!

[dlh6213]

Go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and remove Viewpoint Manager

Scan with HJT and have it fix this entry (if found):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe

Go to C:\Program Files and delete the Viewpoint folder

[DMR]

There's actually an uninstaller for about:bank I had it but lost it when i caught the Blaster virus.

Unfortunately, the original "About:Blank" hijacker has now grown/morphed into a family consisting of close to 10 variants. There was an uninstaller (and perhaps a few) that worked for the early incarnations of the infection, but AFAIK there's no single "uninstall" program that can whack all all of the current incarnations.

[DMR]

I was unable to delete the O23 security thing. It simply came back after HJT nixed it...

That's because when HJT performs a normal "fix" on an 023 entry, it will disable the service, but it does not remove references to the service that exist in the Windows Registry.

HJT does have a special function for deleting a service from the Registry, although in this case I'm not sure it will work because the service name consists of non-standard "gobbledy-gook" characters.

You can try it anyway and see what happens if you want:

In the main HJT window, click on Config, then Misc Tools, and then press the Delete an NT service.. button.

In the resulting Delete window, enter " 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I" (omit the quotes, and note that the first character of the name is a blank space) and then press OK.

[zexy]

Done and tried. Viewpoint manager is gone, and the O23 thing remains, because nothing happened.

You people rock.

[DMR]

I'll try to post more info on how to delete the "023" service entry ASAP, but I need to log for the night now. Glad we could help you get the rest fixed though. :)
