Hello

I have three lines of cmdServices stuff showing up on Spybot - which it cannot delete - all in the Registry. Having looked at your site I have run (both in Safe Mode and Standard) Ewido, AboutBuster, Spybot, Avast, Ad-Aware and Trend Micro CW Shredder. Only Spybot is picking this up now. I did have (last week) Smitfraud and Spyaxe, although I think they are gone.

Here is my HJT log ...............

I would be grateful for any help that you may be able to give.

Thanks & regards

A) Can you post the exact details that SpyBot gives you on those registry locations?

B) Your HJT log does have a couple of "nasties" in it. Please do the following:

1. Download F-Secure's BlackLight into its own separate folder. Do not run the program yet.


2. Run HijackThis, put a check mark in the box to the left of the following entries, and then click the "Fix checked" button:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dflnl.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\dflnl.exe
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{15A767B0-F421-471A-910D-A7B81CBDD8DE}: NameServer = 85.255.116.154,85.255.112.188

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{36613CE7-4DF5-4D89-89DA-13D51237EDC7}: NameServer = 85.255.116.154,85.255.112.188

3. 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". Delete the C:\WINDOWS\system32\dflnl.exe file if it exists.


4. Open Blacklight and have it run a scan.
- Once the scan is complete, click the "Next"
- In the resulting list of found items, have it rename (use the Rename button) all of the files except wbemtest.exe (which is a legit Windows file).
- Reboot when BlackLight prompts you to do so.


5. Once the system has rebooted, there will be a new log in the BL folder. Post that log, along with a new HijackThis scan log.
