Hi,

I am trying to remove Shopping Wizard, Search Extender, Home Search Assistant from the computer. I can see those programs in Add/remove Program list, but cannot remove. I tried to run Adaware and Spy-bot. Still no luck.

Here is the log file from HijackThis. Any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Adi

Hi Adi, welcome to DaniWeb :)

Your log indicates quite a few "unwanted guests", and it also indicates that you have a couple of "bogus" anti-spyware programs installed.

A) SpyFighter and AdwareAlert are programs known to display false positives in an effort to coax/scare you in to paying money for their products; you should uninstall both programs using your Add/Remove Programs control panel. Before downloading/installing/purchasing any adware or spyware utilitiy, you should check this site to see if the program is reputable or not.


B) Please perform the following disinfection proceedures:

You will need to disconnect from the Internet for some of the following, so you'll need to print out the following instructions, or save them into a text file with Notepad.


1. Download and run these specific about:blank/Home Search/etc. removal tools (before scanning/fixing with about:buster and CWShredder, use their online update features to make sure you have the most current updates installed):

CWShredder - http://www.intermute.com/spysubtrac...r_download.html
about:Buster - http://www.majorgeeks.com/AboutBuster_d4289.html
HSRemove - http://www.majorgeeks.com/HSRemove_d4286.html
Sp.html-Se.dll Hijack Fix - http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sp.html-S...00XP_d4617.html


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

ewido Security Suite (trial version) - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

- 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 it; just close it once it is updated.


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


4. Open the Services utility in your Administrative Tools control panel.
- In the list of services, locate the service named "Network Security Service" or " 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I" and double-click on it.
- In the General tab of the Properties window that opens, click the Stop button.
- Once the service is stopped, choose Disabled in the "Startup Type" drop-down menu and then click OK.
- Close the Services utility after that.


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

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


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


8. Run AVG, 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.


9. 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\lputi.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\apiag.dll
C:\WINDOWS\appmn.dll
C:\WINDOWS\apiqp32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\d3vv32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\sysgk.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msgina\wuauclt2.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\apisr.exe

- Delete the following folders entirely:

C:\Program Files\Ikfcrwr
C:\Program Files\SpyFighter
C:\Program Files\AdwareAlert


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

Dear DaniWeb IT Community,

Thanks a lot for your help. I have taken all the steps you mentioned in the email to remove the spyware. here is the Ewido scan log file and HijackThis log file,

I do appreciate your help. Do you think my PC is clean?

Again, Thanks a lot for helping me out!

Many infections have been cleaned, but the main Home Search/about:Blank infection still appears to be present.

Please run the 4 about:blank-specific utilities (from #1 in my last post) again and post a new HJT log.

Hi,
I ran all four about:blank-specific utilities as suggested. Here is the log file after that,

Appreciate your time and efforts!
Thanks

Better still; only three leftovers to go...

1. Run HJT again and have it fix:

O2 - BHO: Class - {4A7341EB-80CF-9F8F-8388-6D50AD0366BF} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\netna.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: Class - {9FBCDEFF-A6FC-C42E-2DA5-84537095BAA5} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\appon32.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: Class - {EC0BF822-7720-175B-2901-9FA68F761D30} - C:\WINDOWS\d3lh.dll (file missing)


2. Reboot into Safe Mode again.

- 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".

- Verify that the following files have truly been removed; if not, delete them now:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\netna.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\appon32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\d3lh.dll

- Empty your Recycle Bin.

- Perform one more scan/fix with ewido and save the new scan report log.


3. Reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post the new (and hopefully final) log. Also post the log that ewido generated.

Hi,
I did all the things you suggested in the last email.
Here is the ewido file,
