Hello guys,

Recently I ran a Malwarebytes scan on my Windows 7, it identified a DLL file called 'XHffS.dll' as part of a trojan in the System32 folder, it then did something on the file but never remove it. After I rebooted my laptop, a message starts to pop out everytime I start Windows, saying something like "unable to run XHffS.dll, it is not one of the system's dll file". It's such an annoy keep seeing the pop out message, so i've been trying to delete it but it is untouchable. I've tried software like Eraser to unlock it from processes but it says that no locking handle found, and still fail to delete it.

Does anyone have a solution on this? Appreciate your help very much!

You are running at least a 4 month old version of MBA-M. The newest version, released today is version 1.45 and the database version it at 3930. You need to update yours ASAP and run a new full scan with it. Remove all items found.
Reboot.
Then run a system scan with HiJackThis, download from HERE
Save both logs and post them back here.

Where are you located?
One GLARING thing about your log is I note you are not running an anti-virus program or a firewall and it "appears" that you are engaged in some sort of p2p file sharing, downloading videos, etc., extremely dangerous activity in itself but to do so without a good anti-virus and firewall can be a "death sentence" for the computer and personal information.
Several of the infected items found are password stealing trojans, putting all of your personal information at very great risk...bank accounts, credit cards, etc. You immediately should contact your bank and credit card companies and alert them of the findings. You need to change all of your passwords on any private accounts immediately.

Thanks for the advice, I'm in south east asia region, I am aware of the risk but I don't install an antivirus so as to save more memory for heavy duties as my laptop is not very powerful. This is also the reason I never use credit card or any financial services which requires my password or important personal information over the internet. I do run scan with software like MBA-M frequently to keep my laptop clean of virus/spyware. Maybe you have any recommended antivirus which consumes just a very little memory when it's running in the background? That will be very helpful to me. :)

Anyway, did you find any solution to my problem from the logs I posted? MBA-M somehow converted the originally malicious XHffs.dll into harmless, just that I am annoyed by the error message which appears everytime after reboot.

Judy is away for a few days.

Can you please do the following.

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

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)

O13 - Gopher Prefix:


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

Copy and paste the following bold blue text in the Quote box below into Notepad.
Click on File(in the menu at the top)>Save as../Save as Type: 'All Files' /File name: fix.bat to your desktop.
Then double click on the fix.bat file on your desktop
You'll see a black screen flash,thats normal.

@echo off
sc stop ZhuDongFangYu
sc delete ZhuDongFangYu

Restart your PC.

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

Rescan with Hijackthis and post the log.

Are you still having the problem?

Yup, I still getting the same error message stating that XHffs.dll is not part of the system dll and failed to run it :( It seems no way to remove this .dll from my computer. I don't find any process using it but when I try to remove it, it is said to be used by other processes.

Go here http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ and download, unzip and run the Registry Search Tool.

  • Type XHffs.dll in the dialog box.
  • Let it run and after a few minutes, a prompt will appear.
  • Click OK to write the results to Notepad and post them here.

I've tried the scan but it shows me the vb script error 800A0005, line 30 char 3. I'm using Windows 7, maybe it's not compatible with the OS?

Download this regscanner; http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/regscanner.html
Follow the instructions there for searching the registry.
Type in XHffs and hit find.
Once all entries have been found, copy the results back here please.
