Popups and BHO'd out the wazoo!

Help a brother out!

I have CWShredder, SpyWareGuard, Spybot Search and Destroy, NAV, and AdAware, and I still can't beat whatever this is I have.

HELP!

 

No help?

 

Hi heelhook,

Don't get restless if it takes a while. What is daytime for you could be the middle of the night for most of our helpers.

Before you start with the fix could you mail this file:
c:\windows\iehr.dll
to pieterATwilderssecurity.org (replace AT with @)

Before you start please move hijackthis.exe to a folder of it´s own. The program creates backups in the folder it is in. In a Temp folder they easily disappear.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\cpad.dll/sp.html (obfuscated)
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\cpad.dll/sp.html (obfuscated)

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {1C78AB3F-A857-482e-80C0-3A1E5238A565} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: ie - {2FF5573C-0EB5-43db-A1B2-C4326813468E} - c:\windows\iehr.dll

O8 - Extra context menu item: &iSearch The Web - res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\toolbar.dll/SEARCH.HTML

O9 - Extra button: PartyPoker.com (HKLM)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: PartyPoker.com (HKLM)

O9 - Extra button: 7Sultans Poker (HKLM)

Download and run CWShredder
Use the Fix button and follow the instructions provided by the program.

Then reboot and download:
http://tools.zerosrealm.com/dllfix.exe

Doubleclick it and install in folder of choice on the root drive, in your case C:\

Run start.bat and press option 1. 'output.txt' will be created in the folder

Please post that report.

Regards,

Pieter

 

OK.

I removed those Poker Buttons, even though I use them, and everything else.

The two "obfuscated" responses...

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\cpad.dll/sp.html (obfuscated)

Had changed their file names, since I had rebooted. I deleted the new ones accordingly.

Here is the log.

Thank you for your help!

 

PartyPoker is associated with CWS (the hijacker we are now trying to remove)
I think you can restore the other one. I may have been a bit quick on the draw there.

Run start.bat again and choose option 2. Hit '1' and enter dll name manually:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\LOGIA.DLL

Download and run AdAware : http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ (make sure you have latest updates) and run it.

You should also run CWShredder finally to clean up other entries. Use the Fix button and folow the instructions.

Regards,

Pieter

 

Error: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

I typed LOGIA.DLL...

case sensitve and all.

Hrm...

So PartyPoker is part of the CWS huh?

I'll make sure to let everyone know.

 

Well. It could be that CWS is making money out of PartyPoker, but being cautious and warning others seems a good idea.

-Download: Win98Fix.zip from http://www10.brinkster.com/expl0iter/freeatlast/pvtool.htm and unzip it
-DoubleClick on: 'RunFix.reg' file, hit 'yes'
on the prompt!
-Restart computer!
-C:\WINDOWS\System32\LOGIA.DLL should be visible!
-Delete it and post a new HijackThis log.

Regards,

Pieter
