    [Solved]Please Help, CWShredder question

    Hey All,

    Can I delete the file C:\WINDOWS\Wcgopuns. It seems to be the only one CWS finds after a good cleanout by adaware and a few fixes in HighjackThis.



    Thanks in advance.

    HI jackiron

    I can NOT find anything regarding Wcgopuns - meaning - it is NOT a "valid" file ?

    Did you rightclick on it and look in properties??

    Re: Please Help, CWShredder question

    Hi there,

    I did not look at properties of the file but i'm asuming its not valid as i can find no info on this file anywhere. I'll delete it and see if it helps.

    If you do read this message, maybe you can give me some further guidance. After running ad-aware in safe mode, making all changes that were given to me by Pieter, it looks like i've cleared my P.C of all traces of the hijacker but, as soon as I connect and open IE I'm back to square 1. Homepage changes back to same res:// page but with different numbers within the address. PLEASE HELP. I'm so frustrated :'(

    Re: Please Help, CWShredder question

    Hi jackiron

    Move HijackThis.exe into its own folder..... eg:create a new folder and move HijackThis.exe into it.


    2.
    Close all Internet Explorer windows and goto "Start"--> "Run" and type in :
    taskmgr
    Then highlight each file below and then click "End Process":

    WcgopSvc.exe
    appjl32.exe


    3.
    Goto "Start" --> "Run" and type in:
    Services.msc ,then click " OK".
    Scroll down and find the service called "Network Security Service".
    Double-click on it.
    In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then change the Startup Type to Disabled.Click "Apply" and then "OK".

    Let us know if "Network Security Service" is listed

    4.
    Close ALL browser Windows, only have HijackThis running.
    In HiJackThis Check the boxes beside the below entries, then click on "Fix checked" .

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\gtvwg.dll/sp.html#35759
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\gtvwg.dll/sp.html#35759

    5.
    Reboot into Safe Mode.....( tap F8 key during reboot, until the boot menu appears...use the arrow keys to choose "Safe Mode" from the menu......,then press the "Enter" key)

    Make sure you can see Hidden files and Folders, so you can remove them:
    http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

    Then delete the below files and Folders:

    C:\WINDOWS\WcgopSvc.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\Wcgopsvc.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\appjl32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\appjl32.exe

    Thanks for your help on this Marianna,

    I'm not sure if you wanted me to carry out the rest of the steps given anyway, but on running services.msc I dont seem to have "Network Security Service" listed.

    I await your guidance on what to do next.

    Thanks again.

    Re: Please Help, CWShredder question

    Yikes, let's try this one:

    Please download this tool called about:Buster from:

    http://www.downloads.subratam.org/AboutBuster.zip

    Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet.

    Now start Hijackthis and tick the boxes next to these items:

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2C0FF493-7CFE-EBB6-BFED-F224B4D819A0} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\atlau32.dll

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [appjl32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\appjl32.exe

    Now close ALL windows and hit fix checked.
    Do not open internet explorer to come back here until after running the tool.

    Double click aboutbuster.exe, click OK, click Start, then click OK. This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them.

    Once the tool is done scanning, copy the log and paste it into your thread.

    Restart your computer and post the report and a new Hijack this log.

    Fingers crossed !

    Re: Please Help, CWShredder question

    that's the "weird" part - nothing shows up IN your log - but you wrote as soon as you go on-line you get re-directed again . That's why I "thought" these 2 files are still in there.

    The "bad" files are gone - well, I guess, you have to go on-line so we know with what we are dealing now and run hjt again and pls. post a fresh log.

    Re: Please Help, CWShredder question

    Hi Marianna,

    Just wanted to say thankyou and let you know things seem to be working 99%. Homepage no longer gets hijacked.. :D . My only problem at the moment is that ad-aware keeps throwing up an error message when I try to run it on my sons user profile. This seems to be the sticking point.
    C:\Documents~1\sonsname\locals~1\temp\wer28.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt. I'll keep looking for answers but if you (or anybody else) have seen this one before, I'd love to shortcut to the answer. I have the latest version installed.

    Thanks.

    PS: I'll post a log file from HijackThis soon, to see if the problem can be seen from there.

    99 % ?? We want to have 100 % :D

    Empty your Temporary Internet Files and history in Internet Options. And clean out your
    %Userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp
    folder. It's a good idea to do that regularly.

    Does that help??

    Hi Marianna,

    Just found and cleared his temp folder (I'll clear all the other user temp folders to). Is it safe to clear his temporary internet folder from here to. It contains a file called desktop.ini among other files. One thing I did notce was the saved images that appeared in some of those evil pop-ups I used to get but no longer suffer thanks to your help.

    Hi Marianna,

    I'm gonna say....Yes.!! 100% fresh and clean......for now and hopefuly forever ;) . Before I go ahead and empty the internet folder, I did notice in my user profile Temp internet folder I had read only files called IEC4 - IECA and so on. O.K to delete these too? Oh and whats the best way to protect myself from being hijacked again, can you recommend any freeware/ software on this site or from another source.

    Thanks for all your time and help Marianna.

    Please Help - System restore issue

    Mod Note: Member has posted a new log, now merged here with their current thread - snap

    Hi all,

    Could any of the experts take a look at my hijackThis logfile to let me know if everything looks O.K. I want to create a System Restore point (is this a good idea and will it really take me back to a point where I'm virus free?). I'm not having any problems at the moment but I don't know how to read the logfile like some of you guys & girls do.


    thanks.
