    I have spent two days cleaning up lots of spyware/adware, etc. I have run Ad-aware 6.0 and Spybot S&D, and Spy Sweeper. Most of the problems are gone. However, the IE browser window keeps trying to open the site: 69.20.62.53/yyy3.html and it pops up every few minutes. Also, when I restart the computer, it keeps trying to install something unkown. Thanks for your assistance! The Hijackthis file is below:

    C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\ <- this folder
    C:\WINNT\fash.exe <- this file
    C:\WINNT\System32\ffahfw.exe <- this file

    Clean temp internet files

    Restart again in normal mode

    Update XP and IE at windowsupdate.Com

    Hope this helps

    Dear Unzy--Thank You! I have been at this again for several hours. I followed your instructions and below is the newest hijackthis log. While I am typing this message to you, however, the same old 69.20.62.53/yyy3html browser page pops up. Do you have any additional suggestions for me?

    The other problem (can it be related?) is that when I restart the computer and items are loading, I get a message box that says "Windows Installer" and it is working hard. This happens right after the Coffee Cup Spam Blocker loads and then the "Preparing Desktop Toolbar" box also appears. A message box then appears and says "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office XP Pro". This installer appears each time I resart.

    Now I've been redirected to other sites 3 times just while typing this message. :'(

    I so appreciate your help and advice!

    Hi Prov31,

    Do you have a program that guards your Startpage/internet settings ?
    Yes you do. SpywareGuard. Did you allow the changes that Unzy advised you to make?

    Can you please update Windows and IE ?


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

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AdaptecDirectCD] "C:\Program Files\Adaptec\Easy CD Creator 5\DirectCD\DirectCD.exe"
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Works Portfolio] C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\WksSb.exe /AllUsers
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Works Update Detection] C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\WkDetect.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WorksFUD] C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\wkfud.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] C:\WINNT\System32\qttask.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Share-to-Web Namespace Daemon] C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Share-to-Web\hpgs2wnd.exe

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SpySweeper] C:\Program Files\Webroot\Spy Sweeper\SpySweeper.exe /0

    O4 - Global Startup: Logitech Desktop Messenger.lnk = C:\Program Files\Logitech\Desktop Messenger\8876480\Program\LDMConf.exe
    O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE

    Then reboot and let us klnow how that goes?

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi Pieter (and Unzy), thank you for your response. I have spent HOURS trying to fix the problems (and not with much success). I am asking your assistance again. I downloaded the updates for Windows and IE. Ran Ad-aware and Spybot S&D again (they aren't finding anything at this point).

    I am still getting the browser problems: it gets redirected to 69.20.62.53/yyy3.html; zestyfind.com; and twain-tech items. Also, when I restart, it is still trying to install the item I decribed in the earlier post. Thank you very much for your efforts and assistance!

    Here is the latest hijackthis log:

    Another quick thought: I just read an article about another problem that is happening: Spyware Guard keeps getting disabled on reboot. It suggested that VX2 program be run. Below is the log for that. The hijack this log was also just posted in my previous post. Thank you!

    Good thinking, Prov31 Now, stay off the net until all files are deleted (second reboot)

    Open VX2Finder again and click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button.

    Then select the *Delete these files* button.
    You will be left with notice about one to be deleted on reboot.
    It will ask to reboot on deletion of the last file (do that)

    After that last file is gone go to
    Start > run > type regedit > OK and navigate to :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\GuardianWMPXN

    (Note : the five letters in caps at the end may have changed [WMPXN] but it will still start with Guardian)

    Right click on the Guardiano_O?? key and select delete.
    Close Regedit.
    Reboot.

    Open VX2Finder again and select:
    User Agent$ > yes to confirm delete.
    and then
    Restore Policy

    Exit and reboot.

    Run Vx2Finder once more and click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button. Then click *make log*.
    Post it here with a fresh HijackThis log please.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Thank you Pieter! I have followed your instructions and the logs are below. The program that was trying to install on reboot is gone. When I opened the IE browser, a message appeared that said " mscmgr. exe has experienced a problem and has to close"...and also the browser was trying to be redirected to burstnet.com. You are so kind to help me.

    Hi Prov31,

    Your logs are clean now. Great job. :cool:

    The error looks to be related with this entry you had at first.
    I am not sure what it was supposed to do and why it is no longer in your last log.
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSN Manager] C:\WINNT\System32\mscmgr.exe

    Can you see if mscmgr.exe is still present and check under Properties > version tab what it has to say about itself?

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi Pieter, thank you for your quick response! The mscmgr.exe properties just says that it is an application and that it was installed on Friday, May 28...it is nothing that I intentionally installed. I have posted a new log below and it does appear on that. Many thanks again.

    If you did not invite it, fix this line:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSN Manager] C:\WINNT\System32\mscmgr.exe

    Zip up the file and mail it to the address in my profile please.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi Pieter, I would be happy to send this to you--I'm not as savvy as you are. What is the best way to find this file and save it to send to you? I have learned a lot in the last week about adware and spyware (unfortunately).

    I am assuming that I should remove the line after opening up hijackthis--but do I do this after or before I save it for you? Sorry for the questions, I don't want to make a mistake at this point.

    Again, I cannot thank you enough for all of your help. Is this something that you do for fun--or is this your job? There are thousands of us out here that are benefitting from your knowledge. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Prov31,

    My job is much more boring I'm afraid. ;)

    It doesn't matter if you Fix the line first. HijackThis does not remove those files.

    To make a zip file is easy for XP, rightclick an empty space in a explorer window, choose new and choose compressed file.
    Name it whatever.zip (as long as the name ends with .zip it's OK)
    Then you can copy and paste the file I requested into that zip file.
    How to mail attachments

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hello Pieter,

    Well, the mscmgr.exe seems to be a mystery. Now it doesn't show up in the hijack this log, or in the winnt/sys32 file. I haven't removed it manually yet, but it did disappear and reappear in the logs before. I'm not sure exactly what to do at this point about that issue.

    As I ran another hijackthis log, I noticed some new entries at the bottom. Would you mind looking at the last 016 lines and tell me if they are OK?

    Thank you very much (again).

    Pieter, now I'm feeling silly--as soon as I posted I saw the mscmgr line in the log...I looked several times. But I still can't find it in the computer anywhere.

    Lets take more drastic measures.

    Surf to http://download.broadbandmedic.com/ and download the Killbox.
    Run the program and copy & paste this in the dialog Window:
    C:\WINNT\System32\mscmgr.exe
    Then click the Kill file button. Confirm and Exit.
    Then check in C:\!Submit\[Dated today] if you find a copy of our mysterious friend.

    Regards,

    Pieter
