I have a PC that has a mind of it's own. My daughter has hit about every website that can bring me a headache and now the PC has a mind of its own. I have used Symantec AV10, spybot, etc. Nothing seems to rid the PC of the garbage. My logfile for Hijackthis follows - any help you can provide is appreciated!

A short expert summary and a few practical next steps.

This thread is a good example of a Vundo/adware-style cleanup: community actions (renaming the on-demand scanner so it isn’t blocked, running a targeted removal utility and then using HijackThis to remove stale startup/registry entries) removed the active malicious components and left only orphaned registry entries and broken add‑ons. The OP () reported the machine running normally afterward, which is the usual outcome when persistence components are successfully removed.

Why those “missing file” entries appeared: many families install Browser Helper Objects, Winlogon notifications or services to run at startup. When removal tools delete the actual DLLs but don’t (or can’t) immediately clean the registry, HijackThis shows the registry hooks with “file missing.” Renaming the scanner executable is a simple trick because some malware watches for well‑known tool names and blocks them.

Recommended follow-ups (finish the cleanup and reduce risk)

  • Install all available OS/browser/Java updates and remove any old runtime installations.
  • Run full, up‑to‑date AV and a second‑opinion on‑demand scan; review startup items with msconfig or a startup utility and remove unknown entries.
  • Inspect the hosts file, scheduled tasks and installed “system cleaners” or toolbars; leave corporate/work utilities intact if required.
  • Change online passwords after the system is clean, backup important data, and create a fresh system image or restore point. Consider a clean reinstall if any doubt remains.

Longer term: run daily non‑admin user sessions for kids, enable content filtering or parental controls, and keep software patched. Thanks to and for the hands‑on guidance — the thread shows how community triage plus careful follow‑up gets a system back to normal.

Hi and welcome to Daniweb forums :).

Can you please right click on hijackthis.exe and select rename and rename the file to analysethis before going ahead.

=======

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following, if present:

Errorsafe,Errorsafefree

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

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

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ErrorSafeFree] "C:\Program Files\ErrorSafe Free\uers.exe" /min
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [DDC] C:\WINDOWS\system32\evrtccer.exe

O16 - DPF: {09F1ADAC-76D8-4D0F-99A5-5C907DADB988} -

O23 - Service: DomainService - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\evrtccer.exe (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...

C:\Program Files\ErrorSafe Free

files...

c:\windows\system32\nnnbkhv.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\evrtccer.exe

-

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 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.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

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

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

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

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

Crunchy - when you say rename hijack.exe, do you mean the executuable on the PC? No problem in doing this, can you tell what this prevents?

OK - I did not find nnnbkhv.exe or evrtccer.exe in the windows\system32 folder. I did not remove

04 - Global Startup: Samrtlink For Lotus Notes.lnk = ?

this is a utility I use for work. Idid not find

023 - Service: DomainService - Unknown owner - C:\Windows\system32\evrtccer.exe (file missing).

Below is my most current hijackthis log.

Thanks for the time and the look! :cool:

Crunchy - when you say rename hijack.exe, do you mean the executuable on the PC? No problem in doing this, can you tell what this prevents?

need you to rename the executable. C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe and the reason for this is that the infection you possibly have, hides itself from hijackthis whilst it has it's default name. You can rename it anything you wish.

Please download VundoFix.exe
to your desktop.

  • Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
  • Click the Scan for Vundo button.
  • Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
  • You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
  • Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
  • When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
  • Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HijackThis log.

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.

Crunchy - when you say rename hijack.exe, do you mean the executuable on the PC? No problem in doing this, can you tell what this prevents?

some malware is crafty and prevents well known antivirus/malware removal tools from detecting it, or working at all. Renaming the .exe to something else usually is enough to prevent this.

Thanks for the attention on this! :)
