Hi

Please help - My Norton Antivirus tells me constantly about this on my PC but is unable to repair - it refers to
C:\WINDOWS\System32\loggn.dll
but I can't access this file as it's in use, and when I look for it in Safe Mode - it's not there!!

When I look at Windows Task Manager, CPU usage is always at 100% so I suppose that something is clogging up my system, - perhaps it's this?

Here's my HijackThis log in case it helps.

Many thanks in advance...

You may also want to click on the link in my signature for cleaning instructions/applications. I suggest to run 1 or 2 online scans to verify if the file indeed is infected.

I run the hijackthis log file analyzer and this is the result:

You're running an old version of Hijack This; please go to https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=12516, download the latest one, and post a log from that.

It may give us additional information needed to help you get rid of this one.

 

Thanks alot for the advice - I've deleted the named items as directed and updated my HijackThis - here's the new log - what's next?

Thanks again.

If loggn.dll is still there, and resists removal, please do this:

Click here to download FindnFix.exe (2K/XP only!) by Freeatlast.

Double-click on the FINDnFIX.exe and it will install a folder called FINDnFIX on your system. Go to that folder and double-click on !LOG!.bat. The program will take a few minutes to collect the necessary information. When done post the contents of Log.txt in this thread.

 

Here's the FindnFix log....

The list will produce a small database of files that will match certain criteria.
You must know how to ID the file based on the filters provided in
the scan, as not all the files flagged are bad.
Ex: read only files, s/h files, last modified date. size, etc.
The filters provided should help narrow down the list, and hopefully
pinpoint the culprit.
Along with that,registry scan logged at the end should match the
corresponding file(s) listed.

Unless the file match the entire criteria, it should not be pointed to remove

At times there could be several (legit) files flagged, and/or duplicate culprit file(s)!
If in doubt, always search the file(s) and properties according to criteria!

Well, that appears to confirm it... I suggest you first temporarily disable your antivirus before we proceed.

In the FindnFix 'keys1' folder, double click on FIX.bat. You will get an alert of about 15 seconds before reboot - allow it to reboot. On restart, open Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32 folder, find the loggn.dll file (it should be visible now). RightClick on the "loggn.dll" file, and select -> Cut from the menu.

Immediately Open the C:\FINDnFIX\junkxxx subfolder.
RightClick inside it and select 'Paste' from the menu; hit 'ok' when/if asked on 'read only' file move prompt.

- Make sure the file is now indeed in that Junkxxx subfolder

Open the FINDnFIX folder again and run the "Restore.bat" file.
It will run and generate a log (log2.txt) .

Post that log in your reply

 

Many thanks for the help but I ran into problems - when I selected 'cut' as above on the loggn.dll file, it turned pale in colour, as though it had become a displayed hidden file, and when I tried to paste it into the junkxxx folder, I got a message that it couln't be moved as it was in use.
I'm sure you will likely have a way around this though - here's hoping.

Cheers

 

Is this XP home or Pro, please?

 

Hi!
I was asked to jump in since you have unusual symptoms.
First and top most--
Disable Norton completely,
Untill the problem is completely gone, or this won't work
properly!

Next, follow these steps in the exact order specified!

1.) Open the C:\FINDnFIX\Keys1< Subfolder.
DoubleClick on this file: -> "windr1.reg",
hit 'yes' on the prompt!

2.) Restart your computer, and try to move the
"LOGGN.DLL" file into the C:\FINDnFIX\junkxxx< Subfolder, using any of the following steps:
-Find it in System32 and attempt to 'cut', and 'paste' into the junkxxx
Subfolder
-Or:
Select it and use the folder's top menu:
edit> move to folder...
Browse and expand the junkxxx Subfolder and select it
as destination.

3.) When the file is successfully moved, go back to:
C:\FINDnFIX\Keys1 Subfolder, and DoubleClick on
the following files in this exact order, hitting 'yes' on the prompt:
A. *winkey.reg
B. *winclean.reg

4.) When done, Go back to the main FINDnFIX folder and run the "Restore.bat" file, and post the new log.

If you run into any problems, post back details &steps.
I strongly suspect it's Norton detecting the file and related key, attempting to unload it and incidentally accomplishing the opposite...

 

Hi

I've completed the above and all went well - here's the new log as requested.........

Whoops, overlooked your reply!
Well done!

It's nearly over:
Last step(s):


-Open the FINDnFIX\Files2< Subfolder:
Run the -> "ZIPZAP.bat" file.
It will quickly clean the rest and
will create a zipped copy of the bad file(s) in the same
folder (named as-- junkxxx.zip) and open your email
client with instructions:
Simply drag and drop the 'junkxxx.zip' file from
the folder into the mail message and submit
to the specified addresses! Thanks!

(*Please include the link in your mail to the board
that assisted you, so any errors in
the process could be traced back!)

When done, restart your computer and
Delete and entire 'FINDnFIX' file+Subfolder(s)
From C:\

For the remaining problems (if any), run any and all
removal tools once again as they should work properly now!
In particular,
Latest CWShredder.exe and fully updated Ad-Aware!

Feel free to post follow up hijackthis log when done!
