Pop up Problems again

[Firedad]

I have posted on this website before but need some assistance again. I will post my log from Hijackthis to see if I can get some help removing some files correctly. I have done this once before on another machine, but would like help again so I don't mess it up. Thanks for the help

Moved this to the security forum.

[crunchie]

Download CWShredder from here & run it. Select the fix button & it will get rid of everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including IE, before running CWShredder. Reboot.

To help prevent this from happening again, install the patches for the vulnerabilities that this hijacker exploits by going here for your critical updates.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it B4 scanning.
In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to
'scan within archives,'
'scan active processes,'
'scan registry,'
'deepscan registry'
'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,'
'scan my host's file.'
In 'tweaks' under 'scanning engine' set it to 'unload recognised processes during scanning.'
Also in 'tweaks' under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion' & 'let Windows remove files in use at next reboot.'
Select 'activate in-depth scan' before starting scan.
When the scan is finished select 'next.'
Remove what it finds by placing a check in the box to the left of the object. Reboot

Download & instal Spybot S&D from here Update it B4 scanning. Go into settings & have it check for Beta releases also & download if available.
After the scan is complete, have spybot fix everything marked RED.
On the page that first opens when you start Spybot there is an option to immunise, you should do this. In the immunise section there is also a link to download Spywareblaster. This program will prevent the install of bad activex controls that it has knowledge of. Download that & you can keep it updated by selecting the same link that you use to download it. Reboot
This last is a must. If you have been cleaned up before & have gotten infected again, you NEED to install spywareblaster.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

Crunchie,
I have completed all the above and here is the latest log.

Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or directly on the desktop & not directly on your hard drive). Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked' :

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [afwyoxj] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\lj pbmzej.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [L8] C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\L8.EXE

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ljpbmzej.exe< file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Adstartup.exe< file

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP< folder contents.

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log plz.

Do you know what this is?? If not have a look in the folder for info plz.
C:\PROGRAM FILES\VVSN\VVSN.EXE

[Firedad]

Crunchie,
I could not find the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\lj pbmzej.exe
but did find/delete the file C;\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Ad startup.exe

As for the file C:\PROGRAM FILES\VVSN\VVSN.EXE< seems to be an Ad program stating "your computer's clock may be inaccurate".
[img]file:///C:/Program%20Files/VVSN/UI1/dl_ad.gif[/img]

herre is the file for above C:\Program Files\VVSN\UI1\index.htm

Should I delete this as well and do I need to delete it in the Safe Mode?

Here is the latest log.

Have HJT fix this entry O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VVSN] C:\PROGRAM FILES\VVSN\VVSN.EXE

Then boot into safe mode & delete C:\PROGRAM FILES\VVSN< folder

Reboot normally & you should be fine :)
