descriptionHaving problems with a lot of Spyware EmptyHaving problems with a lot of Spyware

more_horiz
My computer had been having problems with a number of different Spyware programs. I've been able to remove most of them using Spyware Detector and McAfee Anti-Virus (all scans are now coming back clean). However, computer is still not running properly. Spybot S & D and Malware Bytes both will not open so I am unable to use them to scan. Here is the result from Hijack this:

Hello.

I notice that you have Spybot's TeaTimer running. While this is normally a wonderful tool to protect against hijackers, it can also interfere with HijackThis fixes. So please disable TeaTimer by doing the following:
1) Run Spybot-S&D
2) Go to the Mode menu, and make sure "Advanced Mode" is selected
3) On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
4) Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts
You can reenable TeaTimer once your system is clean.

Please make sure Teatimer is disable before we do this, otherwise this fix will fail.

  • Open HijackThis
  • Choose "Do a system scan only"
  • Check the boxes in front of these lines:

I followed your advice and fixed the selected files in Hijack This. I downloaded Malwarebytes, but it will not open (I've been having this problem since my spyware problems started). I downloaded the most recent version, and followed your advice exactly. It clearly downloaded properly, but it will not open, I've tried the desktop icon and through the start menu. I'm fairly certain that it is a byproduct of the spyware problems (Spybot S&D also stopped opening once my problems started). What should I do now?

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop
Link: HERE or HERE.

  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop
2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):


Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\svcho.exe


Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.


3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.

  • Under "Input script here:", paste in the script from the quote box above.
  • Leave the ticked box "Scan for rootkit" ticked.
  • Then tick "Disable any rootkits found"
  • Now click on the Execute to begin execution of the script.
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

    The Avenger will automatically do the following:

  • It will Restart your computer.
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.

Tried extracting Avenger. Got the following message: "The compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted"

Did you download the avenger from the second link? Did drop.io give you a link to a .zip file and you downloaded it correctly?

MS website says this about the error:

I don't think it created a log, but I'm not sure. Should I disable McAfee?

descriptionHaving problems with a lot of Spyware EmptyRe: Having problems with a lot of Spyware

No, no point.
Mcafee doesn't disable correctly, it turns itself back on when the machine reboots like the avenger needs to.
Lets get an uninstalled list.

  • Open HijackThis
  • Click "Open the Misc Tools section"
  • Click "Open Uninstall Manager"
  • Click "Save List..." (generates uninstall_list.txt)
  • Click Save, copy and paste the results in your next post.

I was able to remove all of the programs except "Live Reg (Symantec Corporation)." Tried running Avenger, but came across the same error message. There is an Avenger txt file, but it just has a register of the error message.

Please run a GMER Rootkit scan:

Download GMER's application from here:
http://www.gmer.net/gmer.zip

Unzip it and start the GMER.exe
Click the Rootkit tab and click the Scan button.

Once done, click the Copy button.
This will copy the results to your clipboard.
Paste the results in your next reply.

Warning ! Please, do not select the "Show all" checkbox during the scan.

If you're having problems with running GMER.exe, try it in safe mode.
This tools works in safe mode. Other rootkitrevealers don't.
The log will be quite big, so you may need to upload the file to www.mediafire.com

It appears that Avenger worked, and most of the problems I were having appear to be gone. Is there anything else I need to do? Also, I need to renew my McAfee Anti-Virus Software. Is that something I can download online?

descriptionHaving problems with a lot of Spyware EmptyRe: Having problems with a lot of Spyware

Hello.
The malware is not gone, just disabled.
Keep spyware doctor disabled.

2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):


Drivers to delete:
UACd.sys

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\UACsminppdp.sys


Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.


3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.

  • Under "Input script here:", paste in the script from the quote box above.
  • Leave the ticked box "Scan for rootkit" ticked.
  • Then tick "Disable any rootkits found"
  • Now click on the Execute to begin execution of the script.
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

    The Avenger will automatically do the following:

  • It will Restart your computer.
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
  • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
4. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply.

  • Now open a new notepad file.
  • Input this into the notepad file:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SecurityProviders]
    "SecurityProviders"="msapsspc.dll, schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll"


  • Save this as fix.reg, save it to your desktop.
  • Double click fix.reg to run it.
  • Select yes to the registry merge prompt.

How is the machine now?

The computer appears to be running perfectly fine. I will keep an eye on it over the next few days and post again if anything happens. Thanks so much for your help.

We need to make a new restore point.

To turn off System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Click the Turn off System Restore check box (or the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box), and then click OK.
4. Click Yes when you receive the prompt to the turn off System Restore.

Now we need to make a new restore point.
To turn on System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Click the Turn off System Restore check box (To turn on System Restore), and then click OK.

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer in order to prevent future malware infections. Please take these recommendations seriously; these few simple steps can stave off the vast majority of spyware problems. As happy as we are to help you, for your sake we would rather not have repeat customers. Goofy

1) Please navigate to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the "critical updates" for Windows. This can patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer.

Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates , or get into the habit of checking for Windows updates regularly. I cannot stress enough how important this is.

2) In order to protect yourself against spyware, you should consider installing and running the following free programs:

Ad-Aware SE
A tutorial on using Ad-Aware to remove spyware from your computer may be found here.

Spybot-Search & Destroy
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features.

SpywareBlaster
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent spyware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.

SpywareGuard
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for realtime protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.

Make sure to keep these programs up-to-date and to run them regularly, as this can prevent a great deal of spyware hassle.

3) Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in popup blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
I also recommand the following add-ons for Firefox, they will help keep you safe from malicious scripts or activeX exploits.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

4) Also make sure to run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep it up-to-date.

To help you keep your software updated, please considering using this free software program that will check for program updates.
Update Checker

5) Finally, consider maintaining a firewall. Some good free firewalls are Kerio, or
Outpost
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.

Please also read Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place

If you would take a moment to fill out our feedback form, we would appreciate it.
The link can be found here.

Hopefully this should take care of your problems! Good luck. Big Grin

Thanks again. I already use Mozilla as a browser, but I will download the add-ons. I also already was using Spybot S&D. Should I download the other programs as well? I wasn't entirely clear from your last post if you meant that all 4 programs should be downloaded and running simultaneously.

descriptionHaving problems with a lot of Spyware EmptyRe: Having problems with a lot of Spyware

Just have one or two running.
Having all 4 running will slow your system down.
