::Report End

Any further help would be greatly appreciated and welcomed :) of note I d/l the trojan remover via this site and I think changed the name of the nail.exe file and getting prompts still cant be found or whatever, have to excuse me as much as I try to inform myself and learn more I still feel lost when it comes to the nitty gritty of the pc workings.. :(

This thread shows a good, typical removal workflow for an infected Windows XP system. ran several scanners and followed ’s guidance to remove visible trojans and cleanup autostart entries; the final HijackThis output looks much improved. To strengthen the cleanup and prevent hidden remnants from reappearing, a few follow-up verifications are recommended.

Perform a deep autorun/service audit and a rootkit check. Use a current autorun inspector to enumerate every auto-start location (services, drivers, scheduled tasks, shell/autostart entries) and remove anything unknown. Run a dedicated rootkit scanner and, if possible, an offline rescue scan from bootable media to catch components that only appear outside the running OS. Run the System File Checker to confirm core Windows binaries are intact (sfc /scannow) and inspect nonstandard network settings or LSPs if network redirects were present earlier.

Harden the machine after confirming it’s clean. Apply all OS updates and the latest service pack available for that Windows build, switch daily work to a non-administrator account, and change passwords for any accounts used while the machine was infected. Create a full disk image backup and then a new, clean system restore point so future recovery is simple. Schedule regular on-demand scans and keep real-time protection current.

If suspicious behavior returns (unknown processes, unexplained outbound connections, disabled security tools), collect current autorun/HijackThis-style logs and consider a repair install or full reinstall from trusted media. The initial steps taken here were sound; these extra checks help ensure the remediation is complete and durable.

GlueFist,

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

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

Please visit at least two of the following sites for an online virus scan:

BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php
Make sure you tick AutoClean under Scan Options.

Panda ActiveScan
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
Make sure you tick Disinfect automatically under Scan Options.

Housecall at TrendMicro
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
Make sure you tick Auto Clean.
When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.

eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner

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

Let's look for, and delete, any program segments(prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from this system. To do this, let's:

1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

cbxlzv.exe*

2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

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

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\system32\cbxlzv.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.

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

Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SYSfit] C:\WINDOWS\SYSfit.exe

O16 - DPF: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000020030000} -
O16 - DPF: {15AD6789-CDB4-47E1-A9DA-992EE8E6BAD6} -
O16 - DPF: {DB893839-10F0-4AF9-92FA-B23528F530AF} -


Now, with all windows closed (including Internet Explorer) 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\system32\cbxlzv.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSfit.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 "".

-

Reboot.

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

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Let me know how everything goes.

thanks for both your patience and time Crunchie..so far so good, have done all as asked and have included any relevant logs etc...fingers crossed. HJT log at very bottom :)

Go to Start>Run and type msconfig Press enter.

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings Link on the left.

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

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

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Secure your Internet Explorer by going and following the instructions there.

Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, and
Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.


Clear your Temp folders.
Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

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

If you have any more problems, post back.
