I am using a 1 + year old Dell dimension desktop operating on Windows XP. About 2 days ago my control panel dissappeared (not just an icon - the entire control panel is gone). I run free AVG virus as well as free AVG spyware, spybot and PC-Cillin (came with computer). There have been MANY viruses and spyware that have been cleaned. My husband blindly surfs and has brought home friends before, but this one has got me. If I try to access task manager, I am locked out and advised that I do not have administrative access. If I try to move files to a backup DVD, the computer resets itself. The DELL support person remoted in and was stumped. He stated it was too deep in the system and has locked all administrative access. I need help! Any ideas out there??

HijackThis Log

You will have to excuse my ignorance. I know enough about computers to muddle through things, but I am not an expert by any means. I am assuming that you are telling me to have a daily log to show the symptoms to rule things out? I can do that - I tried a few things last night (right clicking on the bottom task bar and selected administrative tools for the start menu but when I selected any of those options, a box came up stating that the tools have been disabled and to contact the administrator). I have been able to save about half of my files to CD and back up means, but it apparently got wise and kept shutting down back to desktop with an error message. I will try again tonight to copy the exact text of that error message.
 
HijackThis is a programme that you download from

http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/e.../hijackthis.php

It will analyse what is on your computer and the log that it produces can be posted onto this thread.Don't worry about using it - I've used it myself, it's very safe and it helped me in the past. Once the log is posted then people at PCR, who are very good at this sort of thing, will be able to assess it and hopefully
help you out. :thumb:
 
Awesome. I will try this tonight. Thanks for all of your help on this. I am ready to just throw this thing out the window if it weren't so challenging!

These are the nasties I picked up and which should be fixed. Wait for a second opinion though before you do anything drastic, or you aren't sure about.

I think the two above is the piece of software stopping you from looking at the control panel. Make sure you remove both of them :)



You also seem to have a number of unnecessary files, but its best to wait for someone like muckshifter to double check.

Hope this helps! :)
 
You have a couple of extreme Nasties running on your PC ... not just the ones Mike mentioned ... this is not the first time I have seen these particular nasties ...

I suggest you do this ...

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Open the HijackThis Folder. Find the file HijackThis.exe, Right Click on the file and Select Rename. Rename Hijackthis.exe to Spyware.exe


After the above: ...

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program

Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(NOTE: If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.


Next ...

Download ComboFix from HERE to your Desktop, or a folder of choice.

Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you, combofix.txt.

Note: Do not move the mouse or click while it's running.
That may cause it to stall.


Next ...

Reboot and "copy/paste" a combofix.txt Log and a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

:user:
 
Okay, I have a glimmer of hope! A few of the things listed are what my computer is saying! If my computer will let me log on tonight, I too will run this command for your help! I was able to find the control panel, but it just won't let me have any control of the computer. We had a houseguest last night so I couldn't run it then. You guys are awesome, you have no idea how much this means to me!!!!
 
Here we go... I hope I did this right!

Let me know what you think and how to fix (if possible!). Thanks again for all of your help guys!

You have a few 'problem' nasties on your PC ...


I suggest you get HJT to fix the following ...

c:\103727ebe3c5c03c08\mrtstub.exe
Nastie! ... mrtstub.exe is a process belonging to an unclassified malware which can download other malicious processes

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\printer.exe
Extreme Nastie!! ... Must be fixed!

O2 - BHO: BhoApp Class - {0CB66BA8-5E1F-4963-93D1-E1D6B78FE9A2} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\append.dll (file missing)
Must be fixed! Unnecessary (deactivated) entry that can be fixed ... associated with adware

O2 - BHO: IEHlprObj Class - {ABCDECF0-4B15-11D1-ABED-709549C10000} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtr220.dll (file missing)
Must be fixed! Unnecessary (deactivated) entry that can be fixed

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [igfxtray] C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxtray.exe
Not dangerous, but unnecessary. Available via Start / Settings / Control Panel

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MMTray] "C:\Program Files\Musicmatch\Musicmatch Jukebox\mm_tray.exe"
Not dangerous, but unnecessary.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ISUSPM Startup] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\isuspm.exe" -startup
Not dangerous, but unnecessary.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HP Software Update] "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Software Update\HPWuSchd2.exe"
Not dangerous, but unnecessary.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HP Component Manager] "C:\Program Files\HP\hpcoretech\hpcmpmgr.exe"
Not dangerous, but unnecessary. Checks the Internet for updated drivers/utilities for your HP product - update manually.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
Not dangerous, but unnecessary. QuickTime

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LogMeIn GUI] "C:\Program Files\LogMeIn\x86\LogMeInSystray.exe"
Not dangerous, but RemotelyAnywhere is a remote administration and remote control solution, It allows access to the host computer ... do you really need it? If not, uninstall via Add Remove Programs.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe Reader Speed Launcher] "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe"
Not dangerous, but unnecessary. Speeds up the time it takes to load the Adobe Reader application. Your choice but I would uninstall Adobe Reader & install Foxit.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [findfast] C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\Local Settings\Temp\us0008.exe
Should NOT be loading from a temp folder. I am unsure but would fix it anyway.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [findfast] C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\Local Settings\Temp\us0008.exe
Here it is again ??? why is it loading twice ???

O4 - Startup: findfast.lnk = C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\Local Settings\Temp\us0008.exe
This is taking the P ... 3 times a looser

O4 - Global Startup: America Online 9.0 Tray Icon.lnk = C:\Program Files\America Online 9.0\aoltray.exe
Not dangerous, but unnecessary. Puts AOL icon in System Tray (*.* denotes version if present). Connect to AOL via the desktop shortcut or Start / Programs

O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = ?
The entry is unnecessary and can be fixed.

O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System, DisableRegedit=1
To be fixed immediately! Such entries should be fixed as a general rule.

O7 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System, DisableRegedit=1
To be fixed immediately!

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\system32\hrum220.txt
Dunno, but I would fix it


Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. I cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk.



Please turn off System Restore:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Restart your computer, turn System Restore back on and create a restore point

I suggest you go get a couple of Anti-Spyware programs, such as, SuperAntiSpyware & SpybotSearch&Destroy and install SpywareBlaster ... second page HERE

You have a few too many programs loading unnecessary ... all 04 are programs that load when you boot your PC ... choose the ones you need, uninstall the others.


Good Luck!

Thank you so much for looking at this. I am with you on everying but one: When you told me to create a restore point, what do you mean by that? I understand how you do the turn off/on the system restore, but I want to make sure I do everything else correct. In the mean time I will do the hjt fix and follow your directions. Again, you don't know how much this means to me! If this works, my husband is forever forbidden from using the internet!!!!
 
Okay...I checked off and fixed all the ones you identified; however, I could not find the first one "c:\103727ebe3c5c03c08\mrtstub.exe" I don't know where it went, or I may just be crosseyed now. I even copied the log to Word and ran a search, but it was not there. Here is the new system log:

I haven't done the system restore step yet. I am about to do that now - just wanted to get this out there.
 
Your Log is clean of any Nasties I can see ...


There is one anomaly however, I still don't know what this is ...

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\system32\hrum220.txt
Suggest you fix it anyway.

Will do. Also, is it a problem that the one command that I couldn't find is not there? I couln't check to clean it since I didn't see it - is it still here somewhere? Also, when I do the system restore step, will that give me the administrative controls back because I am still restricted? Lastly, I did not understand what you asked about create a restore point; could you explain that step so I don't mess anything up.


You are a lifesaver if this works out!!!
 
I just tried to fix O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\system32\hrum220.txtbut it won't go away. I clicked on Info about selected and this is what is says: "Files specified in the AppInit_DLLs Registry value are loaded very early in Windows startup and stay in memory until system shutdown. This way of loading a .dll is hardly ever used except by trojans. The WinLogon Notify Registry subkeys load dll files into memory at about the same point in the boot process, keeping them loaded into memory until the session ends. Apart from several Windows system components, the programs VX2, ABetterInternet and Look2Me use this Registry key. Since both methods ensure the dll file stays loaded in memor the entire time, fixing this won't help if the dll puts back the Registry value or key immediately. In such cases, the use of the "delete file on reboot" function or KillBox is recommended to first delete the file.

I will try to delete file on reboot...

Okay...after several trys, I was able to delete the file, but only in Safe Mode as the administrator. I am still locked out of all administrative controls, though. When I tried your suggestion of the System Restore, the following box comes up: "Restrictions - This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."

I can tell that fixing the other files has worked because the pop-ups and my anti-virus/spyware are chilling out now (earlier I had a ton of trojan alerts).

This is the new system log:

Any ideas on how to get my system back in my control??? You've been great so far!
 
getting a bit of a pain ... OK, I did some more research, it looks like a CWS trojan ... so;


Download CWShredder and click on Fix.


:user:
 
:wall: This is really getting ridiculous! I clicked on the link, downloaded and when I selected run, the following error came up: "C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\A82PV5cc\CWShredder[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application."



We've made it this far, any ideas??? I am going to try it in safe mode as the administrator and see if that works. I will post another thread as soon as I try that. This is CRAZY!!! Again, thank you for putting so much effort into this for a stranger - I really do appreciate it! :)
 
Hey...Great news! My computer is now working. I posted a thread on one more website to see if anyone else knew what was going on and we got it figured out.

In case this comes up again, this is what we did:

I had to download ATF Cleaner by Atribune, then download ComboFix and run that program. After posting the new logs (ComboFix and HJT), I had to Open notepad and copy/paste the text that he stated into it, save the note pad as one more name and drag it into ComboFix and run one more report, after posting one more log, my computer was working again!

It ended up being the following files causing the problems:

C:\WINDOWS\AUTOLNCH.REG:yrcfh -> TrojanDownloader.Agent.bq

C:\WINDOWS\system32\WinAvXX.exe
Description: Malware related to and installed with different rogue anti-spyware programs including WinAntiSpyware 2006 or WinAntiSpyware 2007. This Trojan is responsible for the fake security alerts being displayed in your Windows taskbar.

C:\DOCUME~1\Gary\APPLIC~1\errprotec.exe
Trojan.Agent.avq is a group of Trojan Downloaders which downloads malicious files and install multiple unwanted applications of adware and malware from remote servers.

If you are interested in more of the text or logs let me know and I will copy them over in a new thread for you to see.

Thank you for taking an interest in me! Your advice got me more than half way there and I really really do appreciate it! Thanks...
