hello


I have been having extreme adware issues for the past week or so, and it is really irritating the crap out of me. I have had SP2, and my windows update runs every morning. Despite this, my explorer hangs because pop ups load every few seconds, all my system resources are being sucked up, and all my applications are slowed down drastically.
I have spybot, Adaware, and AVG and have ran these at least 100 times each. I have ran all 3 in safe-mode as well. Here is my hijackThis log, I hope SOMEONE can help me get my computer back to it's normal state.

Hi,
Download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.

Download CCleaner and install it. Do not run it now!

Download and install Ewido Security Suite v3.5. After download, double click on the file to launch the install process. During installation, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu". Launch ewido by double-clicking the "e" icon on your desktop. The program will prompt you to update - click the "OK" button. On the left side of the main screen, click on "Update" and then click "Start Update". The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed. After the updates are installed, you will see "Update Successful" in the lower left corner.
If you are having problems with the updater, use this link to manually update. Exit Ewido when done - DO NOT perform a scan yet.


Reboot in Safe Mode:-
Restart (or switch ON) the PC. Then, keep tapping the F8 Key. From the menu that will be displayed, out of which choose Safe Mode and press Enter.


Uninstall this Software from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, if found:-
Purity Scan


Run HijackThis and click Do only a System scan. Then put a check mark infront of below listed entries:-

Close all other open programs except Hijackthis and click the button Fix Checked in HijackThis.

Run CCleaner, click "Options" button and here go to "Advanced" tab and uncheck the option "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours". Click OK to exit from the Options. Finally click "Run Cleaner" and click "OK" to continue cleaning.

Run Ewido, click on the "Scanner" button in the left menu, then click on the "Settings", here select the option "Scan every file" and click "OK". Next, click "Complete System Scan" button to start scan. If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. You can select "Clean" and check the boxes "Perform action with all infections" and "Create encrypted backup" before clicking on OK. When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file.


Reboot to Normal Mode. Double click on Avenger.zip to open the file and extract avenger.exe to your Desktop.

  • Copy the below quoted text (which is a script for Avenger) into your clipboard by highlighting it and pressing CTRL C keys:-

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\qjfae.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cemeppa.exe
C:\WINDOWS\cemeppa.exe
c:\windows\system32\prdsregj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmonwv.dll
C:\defender24.exe
C:\WINDOWS\luxzgtcA.exe
C:\WINDOWS\xload.exe
C:\keyboard24.exe
C:\newname24.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\repairs303169587.dll

  • Now, run The Avenger program by double clicking its icon on your Desktop.
  • Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
  • Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script".
  • Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing Ctrl V keys.
  • Click Done.
  • Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script.
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

The Avenger will automatically do the following:-

  • It will Restart your computer.
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the reboot, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger's actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt

Run HijackThis again, click Do a System scan and save log, and post the fresh log along with the Ewido log and Avenger lpg.

After doing above mentioned things, run this batch file. Here's how to create it, open NotePad and copy the contents of the below "Quote" box:-

cd\
cd DOCUME~1
cd Linda
cd APPLIC~1
dir ICROSO* > C:\info1.txt
cd\
cd %windir%
dir ?ppPatch > C:\info2.txt
cd\
copy info1.txt + info2.txt = info.txt
del info1.txt
del info2.txt

In NotePad, go to File Menu > Save AS and type the filename as Test.BAT and save the file in desired location. Exit from NotePad.

Double-click on the Test.bat file. A DOS type window should open and close by itself. After this, there will be a text file named Info.txt in C:\ drive. Copy the contents of this Info.txt file and please post it here, in your next reply.

Ok, this probably isnt good. Followed your instructions to a T. Here are the results.

I deleted the objects in hijack this during the safemode phase. However, they seemed to install themselves back. Avenger said it found nothing, and the only thing the malware detector found was tracking cookies.

I decided to run spybot in safemode after this process, and found this

--- Search result list ---
Command Service: System Service (Registry key, fixing failed)
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\cmdService

Command Service: Autorun settings (Registry value, fixed)
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\newname

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\keyboard

Command Service: Settings (Registry key, fixing failed)
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cmdService

The software says it can fix it in safe mode, but it fails everytime. Maybe this has something to do with it?

Hi,
Click My Computer, then C: \
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which you can rename to "BFU"

Please download Brute Force Uninstaller to your desktop.

  • Right click the BFU folder on your desktop, and choose Extract All
  • Click "Next"
  • In the box to choose where to extract the files to,
  • Click "Browse"
  • Click on the + sign next to "My Computer"
  • Click on "Local Disk (C: ) or whatever your primary drive is
  • Click "Make New Folder"
  • Type in BFU
  • Click "Next", and Uncheck the "Show Extracted Files" box and then click "Finish".

3. RIGHT-CLICK HERE and choose "Save As" (in IE it's "Save Target As") in order to download Alcra PLUS Remover.
Save it in the same folder you made earlier (c:\BFU).


Do not run the Uninstaller and the Remover yet.

Please reboot into Safemode:
Turn on the computer.
Immediately begin tapping the F8 key.
Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode and press the Enter key.


Open My Computer and navigate to the c:\BFU folder. Start the Brute Force Uninstaller by doubleclicking BFU.exe

Behind the scriptline to execute field click the folder icon and select alcanshorty.bfu

Press execute and let it do its job.

Wait for the complete script execution box to pop up and press OK.
Press exit to terminate the BFU program.


Reboot into Normal mode. Now, download
sidekickFix.bat (rightclick on that link and
choose save as)

  • Place sidekickFix.bat in your C:\BFU folder (Important!).
  • Close all browsers and explorer folders.
  • Double-click on sidekickFix.bat
  • Click Yes and follow the prompts, when prompted to restart
    the PC please do so.

After carrying out above two steps, delete these two folders. The "?" (question mark) in the folder name might appear as it is or as any other character. Please be careful while deleting the folders, because there may be other legitimate folders by that name. Before deleting, right-click on each of the folder and click "Properties". Now here, check the Date and Time of folder creation. If they match with the date and time given below, then delete the folders:-

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Linda\APPLICATION DATA\?icrosoft.NET --> Date: 06/02/2006 and Time: 02:14 PM

C:\WINDOWS\?ppPatch --> Date: 05/31/2006 and Time: 10:57 AM


Finally, please post a fresh HijackThis log.

I dont think anything happened. I am going to post a bfu log as well.

Something else just occured.

I have an internet explorer window integrated into my desktop now, it randomly says DEFAULT in big grey letters, or it is just a white box.
I traced the page to ads.zwoops.com

Hi,
Let's remove the SurfSideKick now! Copy the below quoted text (which is a script for Avenger) into your clipboard by highlighting it and pressing CTRL C keys:-

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmonwv.dll
C:\WINDOWS\xload.exe
C:\keyboard24.exe
C:\newname24.exe
c:\windows\system32\prdsregj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\luxzgtcA.exe
C:\defender24.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\shbwl.exe
C:\WINDOWS\pss\shbwl.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Linda\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Zeno.lnk
C:\WINDOWS\pss\Zeno.lnk

C:\WINDOWS\system32\repairs303169587.dll
C:\WINDOWS\repairs303169587.dll
C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 3\Ssk.exe

Folders to delete:
C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 3

Registry values to replace with dummy:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows | AppInit_DLLs

  • Now, run The Avenger program by double clicking its icon on your Desktop.
  • Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
  • Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script".
  • Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing Ctrl V keys.
  • Click Done.
  • Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script.
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

The Avenger will automatically do the following:-

  • It will Restart your computer.
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the reboot, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger's actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt

Reboot in Safe Mode:-
Restart (or switch ON) the PC. Then, keep tapping the F8 Key. From the menu that will be displayed, out of which choose Safe Mode and press Enter.


Run HijackThis and click Do only a System scan.
Then put a check mark infront of below listed entries:-

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: repairs303169587.dll

Close all other open programs except Hijackthis and click the button Fix Checked in HijackThis.


Run Ewido, click on the "Scanner" button in the left menu, then click on the "Settings", here select the option "Scan every file" and click "OK". Next, click "Complete System Scan" button to start scan. If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. You can select "Clean" and check the boxes "Perform action with all infections" and "Create encrypted backup" before clicking on OK. When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file, save it in a convinient location.


Reboot to Normal Mode. Run HijackThis again, click Do a System scan and save log, and post the fresh log along with the Avenger log and Ewido log.

Woo, I think some progress was made.

Here are the logs:

Hi,
Yes, looks like we got rid of SurfSideKick, a nasty malware! Now, to remove the leftovers of another malware, PurityScan! Download CCleaner and install it. Do not run it now!


Please boot the PC into Safe Mode.


Make Windows to show all files:-
Go to Start > My Computer. Go to Tools menu, click Folder Options. Uncheck Hide protected operating system files. Then, click to select the option Show hidden files and folders. Click Apply and then click OK to exit.

Delete these folders:-
C:\Documents and Settings\Linda\Application Data\ICROSO~1.NET <-- Delete this, if found.

C:\Documents and Settings\Linda\Application Data\Μicrosoft.NET <--- This folder contains an empty folder called ICROSO~1.NET, dated Monday, May 29, 2006, 10:34:27 AM.

C:\WINDOWS\?ppPatch <--- It will be displayed as AppPatch, and delete the one which containing file called dvdplay, dated Monday, May 29, 2006, 10:34:41 AM. Legitimate AppPatch folder will have many files (mostly DLL files), do NOT delete legitimate folder.


Now run CCleaner, click the "Options" button in the left pane of CCleaner. Here, click "Settings" and then click "Advanced" button. Here, Uncheck the options "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours" and "Show prompt to backup registry issues".
After unchecking them, click the "Issues" button in the left pane. Here, click "Scan for issues". It takes some time to scan. Once it finishes the scan, click "Fix selected issues". This opens up a new window, here click "Fix all selected issues" button to remove all the detected issues.
After this, click the "Cleaner" button in the left pane and click "Run Cleaner" to clean the temp files.


Run HijackThis and click Do only a System scan. Then put a check mark infront of below listed entries:-

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Roct] "C:\DOCUME~1\Linda\APPLIC~1\ICROSO~1.NET\smss.exe" -vt yazr
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Iygzjpr] C:\WINDOWS\?ppPatch\d?dplay.exe
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

Close all other open programs except Hijackthis and click the button Fix Checked in HijackThis.


Reboot to Normal Mode. Perform an online virus scan at Kaspersky Online Scanner (Click the "Kaspersky Online Scanner" button). Save the log it gives after the scan.

Run HijackThis again, click Do a System scan and save log, and post the fresh log along with the Kaspersky log.
