:cry: Calling all reg experts!

I ran Hijack This & have highlighted reg errors that I suspect to be malware. How do I get rid of them? My home page keeps on resetting to this baszu.dll search page.

This seems to be a relatively new hijack as I can't find any info on the web about it.

Thanks in advance!

You can either use system restore to go back to a time before this hijack, or:

  1. Make sure your settings allow you to view "Hidden files" & "hide protected operating system files" is unchecked. Open up any explorer windows and click on "Tools" => "Folder Options" => "View" and be sure to check off "Show Hidden Files and Folders".
  2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete once => Click Task Manager => Click the Processes tab => Double-click the Image Name column header to alphabetically sort the processes => Scroll through the list and look for "winbd32.exe" & "netce.exe". If you find the files, click on them, and then click End Process => Exit the Task Manager.
  3. Next, go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit OK.
  4. Scroll down and find the service called "Network Security Service".
  5. When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then OK and close any open windows.
  6. Run HijackThis, click on "Scan" and then place a check mark in the following boxes, And click on "Fix Checked":

    Reboot in Normal Mode.
    Download the file attached to this post and rename it to cwsuninst.reg
    Doubleclick it and confirm you want to merge it with the registry.
    Run HijackThis again and post a new log.

    Extra notes
    If given full internet access this variant will delete:
    - your hosts file (good replacements can be found here or here )
    - Spybot S&D's BHO (download SDHelper.dll, put it in the Spybot folder (default is: C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\) and click Start > Run > regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDHelper.dll" > OK
    - control.exe: follow instructions here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/winfiles.html

Thanks for the help, crunchie! Sorry it took so long to re-post my log. Been crazy @ work!

I could not fix/delete the following:

From Hijack This:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {9E6831BF-99D6-C366-55D9-783927C20928} - C:\WINDOWS\sdkgp.dll

Did not appear in the log.

From C:\WINDOWS...

C:\WINDOWS\bazsu.dll not in folder
C:\WINDOWS\sdkgp.dll not in folder

Files similar to the ones below were found in C:\WINDOWS\prefetch but not in the exact location as indicated. I didn't delete any of them.

C:\WINDOWS\netce.exe
C:\WINDOWS\winbd32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\netgv32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winvv.exe

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks again!

Hi again. Still have some files left over. Will remove them with hijackthis, then you can run another removal tool that is proving effective against this hijacker.

Download the following tools but do not run them until asked. Update Adaware immediately after installing it.

Download About:buster from http://malwarebytes.biz/AboutBuster.zip and unzip it to your desktop.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it before 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.'

*********************************************************
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':

*********************************************************

Click here for instructions on how to boot into safe mode.

Boot up in safe mode.

Run About:buster, click OK, Start, and OK again to start the scan. Let it scan and fix everything it finds.

Still in safe mode, do a full system scan with Adaware. When the scan is finished select *next* & place a check in the boxes to the left of what is found & click *next* again. Let it delete those entries.

Reboot your computer in normal mode. Post another log please as well as the results from the about:buster log.
