hey everyone i am new to the site and as the name suggest dont know much about computers so please if anyone have the time please help

I was dealing with a torjan horse generic6 with AVG and have deleted a file called efffge.dll. originally when the my pc was still infected by torjan horse the error message came up with a access denied and since AVG took care of it by deleting the file now windows always start with error message saying that the module is missing... It would be great if someone can tell me what its for and what program it belong to

U can try to restore your system to early time.

t appears that you have a vundo infection, or traces of one, so please rename hijackthis.exe to imabunny.exe - this is important.
==Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop from http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4
==Download this file to your desktop: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
=Restart your system in Safe Mode.
Double-click VundoFix.exe to start it. Click the Scan for Vundo button.
When the scan completes click the Remove Vundo button.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files - click YES
Your desktop will then go blank as the process of removing Vundo starts.
When completed it will prompt that it will restart your computer - click OK.
Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove. In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.
!! Check the Vundofix log for any entries that were not deleted - if present rerun Vundofix !!

= dclick combofix.exe and follow the prompts to start it. When finished, it will produce a log, C:\Combofix.txt - post that log in your next reply.
A word of caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.

Post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt, C:\Combofix.txt plus a new HijackThis log run in normal mode.

..the combofix run in normal mode was fine. Delete C:\Qoobox.
Vundofix: this is a very important line in the instructions:
!! Check the Vundofix log for any entries that were not deleted - if present rerun Vundofix !!
Note that the scan found C:\WINDOWS\efffge.dll but made no attempt to delete it.
Pls rerun Vundofix, twice will not hurt; if it still makes no attempt we shall try something else. Hang on, let's try to cripple these first...
Start hijackthis, select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2a5e79a8-fccf-43fc-b80f-99515372731e} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O20 - AppInit_DLLs: c:\windows\system32\mljjijj.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: lzextat - lzextat.dll (file missing)

Good, now try to delete c:\windows\system32\mljjijj.dll
-this may help: Unlocker 1.8.5
==This one is a general purpose deleter, Unlocker 1.8.5: http://filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
Dclick the exe to install it, unchecking the updater and assistant boxes. It runs from the rclick context menu, and that is cool.
Okay, now run Vundofix.....

DontknowIT 0 Light Poster · Answer 2 · 2007-08-17T18:21:59+00:00

also i wondered if combofix needs to be ran in safe mode because i ran it in normal mode after restarting

DontknowIT 0 Light Poster · Answer 3 · 2007-08-20T20:28:21+00:00

There is something i dont understand... the efffge.dll is no longer affecting startup of the system.. also now on start up windows constantly tell me that there are messages that are unread but anyway that something else i will get back to you as soon i have time to try out the your instructions above

DontknowIT 0 Light Poster · Answer 4 · 2007-08-22T22:47:44+00:00

That looks clean. I don't know what happened to efffge.dll; I think we may assume that Vundofix removed it. Vundofix does occasionally appear to get a little upset by its task, but it does the job nevertheless.
I am afraid that the unread messages part is invisible to me - something you configured, perhaps? Or is it a result of malware, an ad?
If so...
==Get CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ - and put it in a new folder. You should aim to keep this one for general use. I set it from the installation checkboxes to only open from the recycle bin. It's neater that way.
Now run CCleaner from the recycle bin rclick menu using its default settings [if you set up CCleaner as i suggested, rclicking the bin icon should give you the Open CCleaner option...]. Select the Cleaner icon, press Run Cleaner.
[For future quick temp file cleaning select the options you wish to use via the Windows and Applications tabs]
==GET AVG antispyware 7.5 here.. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5
or here.. http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-spyware-free
-the link is almost at the bottom of the page , avgas 7.5.0.50. Install it and UPDATE it.
Start AVG a-s 7.5;
-under Scanner/ Settings please change the default action from Recommended Actions to QUARANTINE, and run the complete system scan.
-press Apply all Actions and Save the log file. Post the log file.

Mmm... I'm afraid I cannot help with the MSN messenger issue- I disabled mine and am totally unfamiliar with it. I imagine it has a message cache somewhere under your user settings [in docs n setts]. I am sure there would be config settings also to determine whether it autostarts or prompts you about uread msgs in the cache.

-this reg entry starts it at Windows start after you log in.
