restart ur computer

[DMR]

Nooooooo!!!!!

Don't even THINK about following the above suggestions!!!

Good lord- not only will deleting the user account not fix the infection, but it could easily cause you a huge pile of additional problems.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

dork,

The "big red and black box" and "red circle with a white x on the taskbar" you describe are the signature symptoms of the Antivirus Gold/SpySheriff/Smitfraud group of infections. Your HJT log indicates a couple of other infections as well.

To begin with, please do the following:

You will need to close/quit all web browser programs and disconnect from the Internet for the following, so you should print out these instructions or save them into a text file with Notepad.

1. Download and install these utilities (but do not run scans with them yet):

Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
Ad Aware SE Personal - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/

- Open ewido. In the main screen, click "Update" and click "Start Update". After the update process completes, exit from Ewido.

- Open MS Antispyware beta. Make sure the "AntiSpyware Autoupdater" feature is enabled, and that it has downloaded the most current antispyware updates. Close the program after you've verified this.

- Open SpyBot and use its update feature to download and install the most current spyware definitions file. Close the program once the update is complete.

- Open AdAware, click the "Check for updates now" button, and follow the prompts to install the most current spyware definition database. Close the program once the update is complete.

- Open Norton Antivirus and use its Live Update feature to make sure that you have the most current virus definitions installed. As with the above programs, don't run a scan with Norton; just close it once it is updated.

3. Download and install the CleanUp! utility, but don't run it yet.

4. Run HijackTHis again, put a check mark next to the following entries, and then click the "Fix checked" button. Close HJT once it has finished performing its fixes:

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = C:\WINDOWS\System32\search.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = C:\WINDOWS\System32\search.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\System32\search.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\System32\search.html
F3 - REG:win.ini: run=C:\WINDOWS\inet20099\services.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [aupd] C:\WINDOWS\System32\sywsvcs.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [xp_system] C:\WINDOWS\inet20099\services.exe

5. Reboot into Safe Mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up).

6. Run CleanUP! It may take a while for the program to perform its cleaning, so be patient. Close the program when it has finished.

7. Run Norton, SpyBot, ewido, AdAware, and MS Antispyware beta consecutively; have the programs fix all malicious items they find.

When ewido finds the first malicious object on your system, it will ask you if it should clean it. When it asks this, put a checkmark in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections", then choose clean and click OK.
Save the log file that ewido will create after it finishes scanning; you'll be including that log in your next post here.

8. 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 (some of these should already have been deleted by the removal utilities):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\search.html
C:\WINDOWS\System32\sywsvcs.exe

- Delete the following folder entirely:

C:\WINDOWS\inet20099

9. Empty your Recycle Bin, reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post the new log. Also post the log that ewido generated.

Ok, The problem seems to have been solved. Thank you DMR!! The only problem I'm having now is that somewhere along the way I lost my XP themes, so my Windows theme is now classic. I'm sure I can find somewhere to download the themes again. Anyways, here's the report from HJT and ewido.

Good job d0rk, your logs look good :)

As far as losing the themes (and perhaps other graphical presentation elements of Windows) goes, there is a side-effect of the smitfraud infection which might be at the root of that problem.

To find out if this is the case, right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose "Properties" from the resulting pop-up menu. If you don't see all of the following tabs in the properties window, or cannot change the settings within the tabs, perform the fix given below:

Themes
Desktop
Screen Saver
Appearance
Settings

The fix:
- Download smitfraud.reg and save the file to your desktop.
- Once downloaded, double click on the file and when Windows asks you to merge the data, click Yes.
- Reboot your computer.

You should now be able to change your desktop settings to your liking. If your desktop still looks strange, go into your display properties and click on the Themes tab. Change the theme to Windows XP and you will now be using the default Windows XP settings. Then change them as you see fit.

The problem I'm having with the styles is that it's no longer there in the drop down menu. When I go to the appearence tab under desktop properties, the choice for winxp style is missing from the dropdown. Only gives me the choice for classic style. I've been researching this issue and I've found that just about all the people that I've been able to find with the same problem ALL say they lost the winxp style after running the CleanUp! utility. Seems that the CleanUp! utility somehow recognizes the winxp style as a temp file and deletes it!! :\ Going to try a dirty install of winxp to see if i can get it back. If not, maybe format :: blah :: anyway, any further suggestions would be appreciated! ;)

Oh, crud... you're right, d0rk. Buried in the release notes for the new version of Cleanup! is an obscure reference to fixing an issue with Temp files and XP themes. [img]http://www.stevewolfonline.com/Downloads/DMR/Visuals/crap.gif[/img]

One possible ways to restore the "XP Themes" option:

Right click on the desktop and choose Properties. Choose the "Browse..." option in the Themes drop-down menu, browse to the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme file, and double-click on it.

[d0rk]

Ok guys, sorry it has taken me so long to post a reply. I've been in the hospital for the last 3 days. (came down with a little bit of pneumonia on top of asthmatic bronchitis *sp*) But, before getting sick I reinstalled the OS and it restored the themes. So, problem solved. Thanks for all the suggestions. Appreciate it!!! :)
