Attacked on IE. Log

I have a recurring problem on my machine. Internet Explorer will not connect to the internet, even though I am connected and my email and Mozilla work fine.

I have scanned with Spybot, Ad-ware, Sweeper, etc., but it continues to happen. Last night I finally got on the Internet with Internet Explorer, and after awhile it happened again. It's almost like something is installing itself on my computer or attacking it. I will be using Internet Explorer and suddenly my keyboard starts behaving as if the caps lock key is depressed, but it isn't. It also starts highlighting everything I click on. I can't type numbers with the main portion of my keyboard. I can't type a period. If I exit out of Internet Explorer and try again, Internext Explorer cannot get on the Internet at all. Then, I'll scan and eventually once definitions are updated or I try another product, suddenly I can use it again. Sometimes this will take days! It's terrible! Today I rescanned, got on IE, and when I restarted the computer it wouldn't work.

I wouldn't even use Internet Explorer, but I have one site I need to use for work that I can't get to work with Mozilla. It wants some Active X control because it's a Microsoft Server remote site.

I've only had the caps lock thing happen once with Mozilla, but so far I've always been able to get on the Internet with it.

You also seem to have a Peper infection. There is a new peper removal tool made by Option^Explicit, so please download this peper trojan removal and save it to your desktop. Next, double click on it and hit 'Find and Fix' and reboot if prompted. Finally, please fix the following line in HijackThis:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [3R5@@T55SWFWP8] C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\HDK276.EXE

Reboot, and post a fresh HijackThis logfile in this thread

 

The Peper removal link did not take me to the correct place. I deleted the other items though and here's the new log.

Hmm...thats strange, I took a look at the link (clicked edit to see what the link was and tried it, and it works), so can you try it again, only this time run it and after you are done, fix the following line in HijackThis:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [3R5@@T55SWFWP8] C:\WINNT\System32\DfsIq4.exe

 

The Peper Removal Link worked this time... I don't know what was wrong before! At this point IE still isn't connecting to the Internet, but I could redo my scans.

I'm adding to by post above. Do you know what 7Fasst.. is? That's one thing that continues to come up with spotbot scans.

 

It's getting worse. Now I'm having problems with Mozilla.

 

Hmm...this is getting stranger . For now, lets try this:

With all other browsers closed, please fix the following items:

O16 - DPF: {0F04992B-E661-4DB9-B223-903AB628225D} (DoMoreRunExe.DoMoreRun) - file://C:\Program Files\Gateway\Do More\DoMoreRunExe.CAB

Reboot, and in SAFE mode (press F8 after the BIOS loads), delete the following folder:

C:\Program Files\gateway<---folder

There is an entry for 7FaSSt Search in Add/Remove Programs, which removes the main part of the software. To clean up, go to 'Downloaded Program Files' in the Windows folder and remove the entries for '{669695BC-A811-4A9D-8CDF-BA8C795F261E}' and 'FSInstall_1 Control'. (The latter is not actually an installer; it's just used by the installing web page to set an affiliate and unique user number before installing the software.)

 

Here's my latest log. Also the files for 7Fasst were not in the folder listed (WinNt on my machine. There's also no listing in Add/Remove Programs. Thank you for looking at this. I appreciate it so much. I've got to be able to use IE for one thing that I do.

Hi ChrisM,

In IE click Tools > Internet-options > Programs tab click Reset Websettings.
And see if there is a checkmark on the connections tab > LAN settings > proxy

Regards,

Pieter

 

I did the Internet Settings and both boxes under Proxy are checked.

 

Did you go over the settings for the proxy?
Are they still as they should be?
Can you try without?

Regards,

Pieter

 

I've got IE working. Someone suggested I delete a line in Hijack that began R1HKCU....ending Proxy Server local host 3018. I took that line off and IE began working. When I reboot and rescan the line comes back in. IE won't work. BUt, if I take the line out, I'm back on IE again.

My settings in Internet Options, Lan Settings are check by Use proxy server for your LAN
Check by Bypass proxy server for local addresses.

I'm curious as to why this continues to reappear, but if IE will work by my simply deleting that line, I'm willing to live with it, compared to not being able to get on at all.

Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!

 

If I am allowed to guess, I will wager one of the Intermute programs needs that proxy.
Which is why I made you look in IE instead of just fixing the line.

Regards,

Pieter
