I was hoping someone could help me out. I've been getting tons of Aurora pop-ups. I ran Ad Aware SE which seems to keep detecting things as fast as it quarantines and deletes. Ad Aware was also indicating it was detecting drpmon.dll - I could really use some help. Log is as follows:

Here's the standard Aurora removal procedure, which should clean up a few of the other things evident in your log:


You will need to disconnect from the Internet for most of the cleaning procedures, so you should print out the following instructions or save them into a text file using Notepad.


Download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

Download Nailfix from here:
http://www.noidea.us/easyfile/file.php?download=20050515010747824
Unzip it to the desktop but please do NOT run it yet.

Next, reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site:
http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml


Once in Safe Mode, double-click on Nailfix.cmd. Your desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

Then run Ewido, and run a full scan. Save the logfile from the scan.

Next run HijackThis, click Scan, and put a check next to the following entries:

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe
O2 - BHO: (no name) - SOFTWARE - (no file)
O2 - BHO: ohb - {9ADE0443-2AB2-4B23-A3F8-AC520773DE12} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\nsf3C.dll
O2 - BHO: RichEditor Class - {F79A2C4B-8776-4ED7-8B2F-4786A4A3500A} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\richedtr.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [richup] C:\WINDOWS\system32\richup.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [jaydmdd] c:\windows\system32\pydmdd.exe r
O16 - DPF: {1D6711C8-7154-40BB-8380-3DEA45B69CBF} (Web P2P Installer) -
O23 - Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc) - Unknown owner
- C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe

Close all open windows except for HijackThis and click Fix Checked.


- While still in Safe Mode:

- 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(ewido may have deleted some of these already):
C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nsf3C.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\richedtr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\richup.exe
c:\windows\system32\pydmdd.exe
C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe

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

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

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


Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

Ok - here are the logs...please let me know if I need to do something else. Thanks.

Good work; I only see one item in your HJT log that needs to go. :)


1. Close all open programs, including Internet Explorer, run HJT again and have it fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mrqapp] c:\windows\system32\qiifcvw.exe


2. Delete the c:\windows\system32\qiifcvw.exe file and empty your Recycle Bin.


3. Run ewido again to see if it finds any leftovers.


4. Reboot, run HJT again, and post a new log.

Here is the HJT Log. I also included the Ewido log below as it identified and removed another 24 items. Let me know if you see anything else....Thanks for your help.

The HijackThis log is clean now.

Since ewido keeps turning up "nasties" in your C:\System Volume Information\_restore folders, but your HJT log no longer shows signs of infections, let's flush those folders to get rid of any possibly remaining "unwanted guests, and set a new, clean Restore Point.

To do this, you just disable and then re-enble XP's System Restore feature:

Disable System Restore

1. Log in as a user with Administrator privileges.

2. Right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and choose the "Properties" option.

3. In the System Properties window, click on the System Restore tab and then put a check in the box next to the "Turn off System Restore" option and hit the "OK" button.

4. Click "Yes" in the resulting confirmation box. You may experience a slight delay as your change is applied; the Properties window will close automatically when the operation is complete.


Once you've done that:

R
eactivate System Restore

1. Log in as a user with Administrator privileges.

2. Right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and choose the "Properties" option.

3. In the System Properties window, click on the System Restore tab, uncheck the box next to the "Turn off System Restore" option, and hit the "OK" button. There will be a slight delay as Restore reactivates; the Properties window will automatically close when the operation is complete.
A fresh new Restore Point will automatically be made in the process.

Done; Thanks for all your help with this. Its much appreciated.

Yes; things seem to be working okay. No pop-ups and system running more smoothly.

Very cool. Glad we could help you remove the "unwanted guests". :)
