culinfl,

Hello! and welcome to our forums.

===============

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall AWS..aka Weatherbug. We'll get you a safer alternative when were done cleaning up your computer.

===============

Go to www.trendmicro.com, and then:

1. Click "Free Online Scan".

2. Click "Scan now, it's free".

It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's done:

1. Select all available drives.

2. Check(tick) "Auto Clean".

3. Click "Scan".

When it completes, copy the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted and post them when your done with the following fix.

===============

We'll need to download these program(s) to help us deal with the "About:Blank" infection:

-

Download, unzip to your desktop CWShredder and run it, then:

1. Click "Check For Update"

(If an update isn't available, skip to step #4.)

2. Click "Click here to Download the update".

3. When the new version has been downloaded, click "Save".

4. Exit the program.

-

Download, unzip to your desktop About:Buster and run it, then:

1. Click "Update".

2. Click "Check For Update"

(If no new version is available, skip to step #4.)

3. Click "Download Update", and wait for it to be installed.

4. Exit the program.

===============

Reboot your computer into "Safe Mode"

===============

Next, locate CWShredder that you downloaded earlier and run it, then:

1. Click "Fix ->"

===============

Next, locate About:Buster that you downloaded earlier and run it, then:

1. Click "Start".

(Wait for the initial ADS scan to complete.)

2. Click "Yes", to shutdown any IE session currently open.

(Wait for the about:blank scan to complete.)

3. Click "Ok", to scan once more.

4. Click "Yes", to shutdown any IE sessions currently open.

5. Click "Yes", to begin the second pass.

6. Click "Save log", and post this log back along with your new log.

7. Click "Exit".

8. Click "Exit".

===============

Reboot your computer normally.

===============

Before we begin, let's move HiJackThis to it's own folder; like c:\HJT. When we're done 'cleaning' off your system, we're going to 'flush' the temporary folders which, with HiJackThis in it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later.

Also move the "Backups" folder, for HiJackThis, if present.

===============

Go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit OK

Scroll down and find the service called.

Workstation NetLogon Service ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I)

Make sure it is selected in color. Right click on the service and click on stop. Right click on it again and go to Properties. In the Properties screen and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled in the dropdown box. Click on Apply. Then OK. If the service isn't listed go ahead with the rest of these instructions anyway.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINNT\system32\gqkrs.dll/sp.html#28129

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINNT\system32\gqkrs.dll/sp.html#28129

O23 - Service: Workstation NetLogon Service ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) - Unknown owner - C:\WINNT\system32\winwg32.exe (file missing)

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to"view system and hidden files/folders":

folders...

C:\PROGRAM FILES\AWS

files...

C:\WINNT\system32\winsn.exe

C:\WINNT\system32\syssg32.exe

C:\WINNT\system32\gqkrs.dll

C:\WINNT\iplq.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\winwg32.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them from "Safe Mode".

===============

Reboot your computer.

Post back a new log, report any problems and let me know how everything goes.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE do not restart your computer unless asked, restarting can reinfect your computer resulting in us starting the cleaning up process all over!

culinfi,

===============

Let's look for, and delete, any program segments(prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from this system. To do this, let's:

1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

fpapli.exe*

2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

===============

Next, Open a command prompt by:

1. Clicking "Start", then "Run...".

2. Enter "cmd" (without the quotes).

3. Enter "services.msc" (without the quotes).

-

Now, locate and 'stop' the following services, if present:

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) owner ... (C:\WINNT\system32\addvq32.exe)

Look carefully, since the name of the service (above) can be anywhere in the entry; also be careful not to 'stop' any required system services.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Config..."

2. Click "Misc Tools"

3. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINNT\system32\addvq32.exe

C:\WINNT\system32\fpapli.exe

C:\WINNT\system32\addfy.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Now, let's open a command prompt and unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

regsvr32 /u netra.dll

regsvr32 /u ntgw.dll

It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save on the typing.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://my.netzero.net/s/search?r=minisearch

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5F15F26C-81EE-4FFA-8B9A-39913016CD37} - C:\WINNT\system32\netra.dll

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {D287B913-740E-605C-9967-D4EEFBA2E464} - C:\WINNT\system32\ntgw.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [addfy.exe] C:\WINNT\system32\addfy.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sdkpn.exe] C:\WINNT\system32\sdkpn.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [spc_w] "C:\Program Files\NZSearch\nzspc.exe" -w

O16 - DPF: {9b935470-ad4a-11d5-b63e-00c04faedb18} (Oracle JInitiator 1.1.8.16) -

O23 - Service: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) - Unknown owner - C:\WINNT\system32\addvq32.exe

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to"view system and hidden files/folders":

folders...

C:\Program Files\NZSearch

files...

C:\WINNT\system32\addvq32.exe

C:\WINNT\system32\fpapli.exe

C:\WINNT\system32\addfy.exe

C:\WINNT\system32\netra.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\ntgw.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\sdkpn.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them from "Safe Mode".

===============

Reboot your computer.

===============

Go to www.trendmicro.com, and then:

1. Click "Free Online Scan".

2. Click "Scan now, it's free".

It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's done:

1. Select all available drives.

2. Check(tick) "Auto Clean".

3. Click "Scan".

When it completes, copy the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted and post them when your done with the following fix.

Post back a new log, report any problems and let me know how everything goes.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE do not restart your computer unless asked, restarting can reinfect your computer resulting in us starting the cleaning up process all over!
