[Merged from original thread by DMR:]
Hi,
I've had a nagging problem with Win System32 file appearing on boot up. Sometimes it pops us as many as 4x in a row. I have read quite a bit onn this, specifically from MS site, however their proposed "fixes" either didn't apply to my registry or didn't work. I'm running WinXP SP2. I have d/l'ed HJT and ran it but don't understand what the results mean. Can somone who's knowledgable read my scan and clue me in on how to fix this "annoyance"? I certainly would appreciate it......[/Merge]


Sorry, I forgot to include the HJT scan printout......here it is.

The following is a resource hog and is not needed at startup.
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE
Close all other windows and click fix checked.

Go to control panel>>add/remove programs and remove the following.
Viewpoint Manager(might be different but similar)

Please download and install ewido anti-spyware tool

  • Close all other Applications Select language click Ok
  • Click I Agree
  • Click next
  • Click Install
  • Click Finish
  • Wait Ewido will open 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

Now delete the following folder if it exists.
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint

Reboot back to normal mode and run HJT again. Post the new HJT log and the ewido log. 2 other things do you know anything about the weird 04 entries in your log and are you expiriencing problems still?

Are the 04 entries some sort of script you did? i have never seen anything like that.

Edit:

Ok, pelase re-download HJT, and scan, do not change Any settings before scanning. Just start HJT go to, Do system scan, and save log. And then post the log.

I think your HJT settings may have gotten messed up.

Are the 04 entries some sort of script you did? i have never seen anything like that.

It's javascript, but I've never seen it in a log. There are some similar posting at other support forums, but none of them explain whether the stuff is a result of an infection, or some other corruption.

Either way, the garbled entries should be deleted, so let's do that:

Run HJT again, check the following entries, and then click the "Fix checked" button:

Reboot your system after HJT completes the fixes.

After that, do the ewido scan as kylethedarkn instructed, and then post both the ewido scan and a new HJT log.

** Also- please give us the full and exact error of the "system32" file please.

-

klyethedarkn:

Well, did exactly as you posted except for the removal of the folder since it didn't exist. Upon a clean boot, the system32 folder appeared once again. I am including both an HJT1 log (from before I started the instructions) an HJT2 log completed after the instructions and an ewido log. Thanks for the response. I hope there's something in those that trips the mind as to what the cause of this is. Altho I'm proficient with computers, I don't do any programmind so whatever's there has been done by either software installations or a virus. I run Norton Systemworks Premier on my home network and we're connected to a broadband cable so the computers are updated daily and the scans run daily. In addition I have the XP firewall along with the one supplied with the Cisco router. Any other thoughts on this?

Taz

PS. The site won't allow me to paste the logs so I'm going to do it in a separate email response.....sorry.

Here are the logs I promised...

HJT1; HJT2; and Ewido report

Can you get screen shot plz.

Ok all......seems like the fix from DMR did the trick! I booted up after the execution of the email and no system32 folder on boot up! I'm going to include the HJT3 and ewido logs with this (if it will let me) otherwise will attach them as before. Hopefully these remedies will keep it away. Thanks for all the help......I REALLY appreciate it.

One of those odd entries is still present, but it looks good aside from that.
Have HJT fix this one:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [// Browser Detec] c:\WINDOWS\System32\// Browser Detection

It appears that my optimism was short lived. The machine has 2 accounts on it via the XP option and I am working under one account which is also classified as the administrator. When I switched to the limited account, the system32 file was indeed present upon startup. In addition, I now get a small window that indicates that NAV access to C: has been denied. However while the machine continues to boot, the icons for NAV and Ghost appear in the tray so I'm a bit confused as to what is giving me the error message. Also, the machine seemingly takes a considerable amount of time to boot and its overall processing speed (2.0GHz) appears to have been reduced accessing programs and desktop icons. Somehow my Internet connection has become compromised and that machine isn't being recognized on my network. This ocurred shortly after disconnecting it from the Internet connection to run the Ewido program. I am debating at this time on whether to just reformat the whole HDD and start over. It will be somewhat of a lengthy task, but I've already spent countless hours attempting to get this working correctly. Any final thoughts on this situation would be appreciated.......

Given the fact that there are multiple accounts on the machine, each with multiple problems (not all of which may be malware-related), it might actually be more efficient to rebuild the system.
