I've been getting a lot of pop ups lately telling me to download antivirus programs. This has only been going on for a little while. I have scanned with Ad-aware and ewido, both of which did not help. So here's my HJT log, hope you can help! Thanks! :eek:

A short expert follow‑up that complements and : the logs show the usual fake‑AV/autorun pattern (a “winupdates” autorun plus an AppInit DLL and a broken LSP). After the active removals, the important next steps are verification and small repairs so the infection can’t come back or silently break networking.

Check for lingering injected DLLs and Winlogon/AppInit entries. AppInit_DLLs is a mechanism that forces listed DLLs into most user processes; any leftover value referencing a missing or suspicious DLL should be removed or cleared. Inspecting autostart locations with Autoruns is the safest way to see AppInit, BHOs, Winlogon notify DLLs and Winsock/LSP entries in one place. AppInit_DLLs explanation (explain) and Autoruns (Sysinternals). (learn.microsoft.com)

If the NewDotNet/LSP was uninstalled or the HJT log showed a missing LSP, repair the Winsock catalog to avoid intermittent network errors. From an elevated command prompt, these commands are useful to inspect and reset Winsock:

reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" /v AppInit_DLLs
netsh winsock show catalog
netsh winsock reset

Run the reset and reboot; this is the supported way to restore the Winsock catalog. (learn.microsoft.com)

Run a modern, up‑to‑date on‑demand scanner (Malwarebytes is one reputable option) and, if there are any signs of rootkit activity, run an offline rescue/rootkit tool before reconnecting the machine to risky sites. Historically the name “winupdates.exe” has been used by rogues, so double‑check any folders left behind for unusual files. Malwarebytes and reporting threads on rogue names provide context. (malwarebytes.com)

Final quick checks: scan hosts and scheduled tasks, confirm no unexpected services or drivers remain, run SFC if system files look corrupted, and create a new clean restore point once the system is verified clean. This complements the removals already done and helps prevent reinfection.

First of all we have to remove Newdotnet, either from add/remove programs, or by going here and scrolling down to the uninstall tool.

==

Move hijackthis into a permanent folder before your next post please. In a temp folder you will lose the program and it's backups when the temp folders are cleared later :).

==

Please download and install

  • Close all other Applications Select language click Ok
  • Click I Agree
  • Click next
  • Click Install
  • Click Finish
  • Wait and Ewido will open to the main screen automatically.
  • Wait again a few minutes and Ewido Should Auto update itself. If it doesn't click update at top of screen.
  • This in very important to get updates
  • When updating has finished. Close Ewido.

If you have an "always on" connection to the internet, physically disconnect that connection until you are finished with Safe Mode and have rebooted back into normal mode.

  • Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear use arrow up to highlight
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.
  • For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site: HERE

    You MUST manage to get into Safe Mode for the fix to work.

Make sure to close all open windows/programs/folders. Have nothing else open while ewido performs its scan!

  • Open Ewido
  • Click on scanner top of Ewido sceen
  • Click on Settings
  • Under How to Act click on Recommended Action choose Quarantine
  • Under How to scan all boxes should be selected
  • Under Possibly unwanted software all boxes should be selected
  • On right side under Reports: click on Automatically generate report after every scan.
  • Under What to scan select scan every file
  • Click On scan Tab
  • Click on Complete system scan
  • Let the program scan the machine It can take awhile give it time.
  • When scan has finished At bottom of screen click Apply all Actions
  • Click Save report
  • Click Save Report as (Save as window's screen should pop up.)
  • Click desktop
  • Click Save
  • Exit ewido

Reboot back to normal mode

After doing that you also need to move HJTinto its own folder (e.g. c:\HJT). Then scan, then post that log.

Ok, heres the new HJT log

Thanks!

After doing that you also need to move HJTinto its own folder (e.g. c:\HJT). Then scan, then post that log.

:D

Move hijackthis into a permanent folder before your next post please. In a temp folder you will lose the program and it's backups when the temp folders are cleared later .

==

Can you please do the following.

===============

Scan with HiJackThis, then check(tick) the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {b5ac0291-d5db-4c81-bcbf-909ec5973c51} - E:\WINDOWS\system32\mciwr35.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] E:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: e:\windows\system32\opnmllj.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: mciwr35 - mciwr35.dll (file missing)


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

E:\Program Files\winupdates

files...

e:\windows\system32\opnmllj.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "".

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

Ok, heres the HJT log:

After check/ticking the things you said, and after clicking 'fix checked', I got this error message:

An unexpected error has occurred at procedure: modBackup_MakeBackup(sItem=O20 - AppInit_DLLs: e:\windows\system32\opnmllj.dll)
Error #5 - Invalid procedure call or argument

Please email me at , reporting the following:

Click OK to continue the rest of the scan.

PC seems to be working fine now, thanks so much! :D

Not concerned about the error message. Hijackthis throws that one up on a regular basis, but still does the job :).

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

===============

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Secure your Internet Explorer by going and following the instructions there.

Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, and
Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.


Clear your Temp folders.
Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

For XP users.
After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
To flush the XP system Restore Points.

Go to Start>Run and type msconfig. Press enter.

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

===============

If you have any more problems, post back.
