You have quite a few malicious entries in your log, and I also see no indication of any installed anti-virus or anti-spyware programs.

If you really don't have an A-V program, download and install the free edition of AVG anti-virus now.

Next, 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):

ewido Security Suite (trial version) - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
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 AVG and use its 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. 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 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = c:\secure32.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = c:\secure32.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,ShellNext = wmplayer.exe
F3 - REG:win.ini: run=C:\WINXP\inet20009\services.exe
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5321E378-FFAD-4999-8C62-03CA8155F0B3} - (no file)

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

7. 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.

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:\secure32.html
C:\WINXP\System32\mstool.exe
C:\WINXP\System32\paytime.exe
C:\windows\adtech2006a.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00001.exe
C:\WINXP\system32\h02olaf31d2.dll
C:\WINXP\System32\glmjfhcg.dll

- Delete the following folders entirely:

C:\WINXP\inet20009
C:\Program Files\Common Files\uouz
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VCClient

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

I don't have an answer for the ewido crashing at the moment (can you give us any more details?), but I do have a question: why are there new program entries in your latest HijackThis log? :

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Mercora] "C:\Program Files\Mercora\MercoraClient.exe" -startup
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VGAUtil] C:\Program Files\GigaByte\VGA Utility Manager\G-VGA.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [µTorrent] "C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\USER\MY DOCUMENTS\My Downloads\utorrent.exe"
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [googletalk] "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /autostart

Please don't install anything during our troubleshooting; it just confuses and complicates things.

I'm logging off for the night right now; I'll check back on this thread tomorrow...

my children didn't know I was trying to fix the problems and instal a new graphic card and some new softwares.

Ah, children- that explains it...

I notice that some of the lines I fixed before appear again.

Yes, that means that we haven't fully removed all of the infection yet.

- Can you give us more details about the ewido crash? Does it crash at a specific point in the scan (when scanning a particular file, for example)? Are there any error messages? Try uninstalling ewido and reinstalling it; it would really be helpful to have the program working properly.

Let's see if we can remove the leftovers:

1. Open your Add/Remove Programs control panel and uninstall the Cyberlink/Key Logger software if you see it listed there.

2. Run HJT again and have it fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winlogons.exe] C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\Free KGB Key Logger\winlogons.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft tool] C:\WINXP\System32\mstool.exe

3. Reboot into Safe Mode again.

4. 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 C:\WINXP\System32\mstool.exe
file.

- Delete the following folder entirely:

C:\Program Files\CyberLink

5. Empty your Recycle Bin, reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post the new (and hopefully final) log.

DMR, when I run ewido security, my system always crashed. Do you know how to overcome this?

Hi DMR,
Sorry my children didn't know I was trying to fix the problems and instal a new graphic card and some new softwares. If you are not particularly unhappy about it, shall we start the trouble shooting process again. This is my new hjt log:

Ah, children- that explains it...
Yes, that means that we haven't fully removed all of the infection yet.
- Can you give us more details about the ewido crash? Does it crash at a specific point in the scan (when scanning a particular file, for example)? Are there any error messages? Try uninstalling ewido and reinstalling it; it would really be helpful to have the program working properly.

The ewido only stalled the first time I used it, no error message. Now back to normal. I did the scan and nothing was found.

Can you tell me what should I do now to completely wipe the nasties.

foxkueh :confused:

foxkueh 0 Junior Poster · Answer 4 · 2005-12-19T00:44:27+00:00

Let's see if we can remove the leftovers:
1. Open your Add/Remove Programs control panel and uninstall the Cyberlink/Key Logger software if you see it listed there.
2. Run HJT again and have it fix:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winlogons.exe] C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\Free KGB Key Logger\winlogons.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft tool] C:\WINXP\System32\mstool.exe

3. Reboot into Safe Mode again.

4. 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 C:\WINXP\System32\mstool.exe
file.
- Delete the following folder entirely:
C:\Program Files\CyberLink

5. Empty your Recycle Bin, reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post the new (and hopefully final) log.

Hi DMR,
Power DVD is a programme from the new video card my children stalled. Is it a bad programme?

Hi DMR,

The Cyberlink PowerDVD program as a whole is legit, but I definitely question the KGB Keylogger program which your log shows to be running from within the Cyberlink folder.
You may know this already, but keylogger programs are used to capture a user's keystrokes on a computer and save that information so that it can be reviewed by, or sent to, someone else. Obviously, unless you specifically installed the keylogger as a "parental control", you definitely don't want it installed on your computer.

If you know nothing about the keylogger:

- Leave the Cyberlink software installed for now.

- Have HijackThis fix the "[winlogons.exe]" log entry to disable off the keylogger component.

- Follow my instructions concerning removing "mstool.exe".

- Reboot the computer, run hijackThis again, and post the new log.

1. There's only one entry I see in the latest log that I'm not liking:

C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\ins83.tmp

The above process hasn't been listed in any of your previous logs, and normal/legitimate programs shouldn't be running from Temp folders, so it could be indicative of something still lingering in the background.

2. There is something in the log that I am not seeing, but that I should be seeing. One of the tools I asked you to download and install was Microsoft Antispyware beta, but there are no indications in your logs that the program is running. Can you shed any light on that?

3. Do one (hopefully) final clean-up sweep:

- Open ewido and MS Antispyware and make sure they both have the most current updates installed.

- Reboot into Safe Mode again and:

* Run CCleaner.

* Run full system scans with ewido and MS Antispyware; have them fix all items they find. Save the new ewido scan report log.

* Empty the Recycle Bin and reboot normally.

- Once rebooted, run HJT and post the new log. Also post the new ewido log.

I have also been having problems when I try to play a video on the computer. Whenever I open it, it suddenly goes very slow and laggy. It takes about 1 minute before the Ctrl+Alt+Delete menu comes up after I press it. The videos work on my other computer ok and used to work well on this one before I installed the graphics card. Do you know what the problem could be?
