Hi guys,

I’m new to the Forum, so please be gentle.

Okay, I’m hoping the Techie genius of all time ends up reading this to help me out with a mind-boggling problem. I’m not a novice, but I’m not an expert either when it comes to Hardware/Software and the nuts and bolts of it all, but I can find my way around okay, at least I thought I could.

A few months ago, my hard disk failed in my laptop (it was about 10-years old!), so I used dd rescue (via a Linux Live CD) to recover as much as possible to an external hard drive (my normal back-up method was about 2-weeks out-of-date annoyingly, so I needed to recover documents etc).

I bought a new hard disk and re-installed everything (Windows XP SP3 and other programs relevant to my everyday needs), along with customization of settings etc. Everything was hunky dory and back to normal for a while, but then, after visiting a well known ‘Cash Back’ website on a particular occasion, I noticed that iexplore.exe ‘hung’ in Task Manager. I could visit other websites, such as a well-known auction site amongst others, and wouldn’t see the problem i.e. after closing the browser (IE8 in this instance), iexplore.exe would end as you would expect.

Initially thinking it was a virus, spyware or malware etc. I ran just about every scan I could find (using both commercial, freeware and even on-line scan packages), but couldn’t find a single thing/infection. I then tried using Mozilla Firefox and Opera Browsers, just to see how they would react. Exactly the same problem/outcome i.e. okay with a majority of websites, but not when visiting the cash back website where I first noticed the problem (it’s started happening with other websites I’m visiting now).

Process Explorer, Task Kill, UVK and even the Windows cmd prompt cannot kill the ‘hanging’ .exe file – it’s a reboot situation to clear it. I’ve re-set and re-installed IE8, ran ComboFix, HJT and loads more, but just can’t find the problem. Emsisoft’s ASquared also confirms weird behaviour with the open ports i.e. before visiting the websites that cause the problem, the open ports are as you would expect – when I visit one of the websites that cause the issue, many (sometimes 20+) instances of iexplore.exe ports will open, cmd prompt ‘netstat –a’ doesn’t show anything out of the ordinary either. Oh by the way, when I submit the results on-line to Emsisoft ASquared, it comes back with results confirming that malicious programs use a certain port that I seem to have open, but the malicious type and port that’s open, changes every single time I submit a scan – it’s completely random.

After many, many nights of head scratching, I’m simply lost with this one – yes, I’ve disabled all add-on’s (regardless of browser type) and tried to browse with the bare bones (in IE8, Mozilla Firefox and Opera), but the same problem occurs - the browser will hang and nothing will kill it except for a reboot.

Oh and last night as a last ditch attempt, I reset and even went on to flash the firmware of the BT Business Broadband 2wire 2700HGV Hub – no change, the problem continues in the same manner as before.

Sorry for the long-winded post, but it’s a bit of background info. for the genius I’m hoping will ultimately end up resolving this for me - if he’s out there listening?

Many thanks in advance,
Virtual Madness.
 
Dear Virtual Madness, I will gently Welcome you to TechSpot!

I don't know that you've chosen the best forum for your problem. So I will give you a choice:

#1. If you would like us to check the system for malware, please follow the steps in the Preliminary Virus and Malware Removal thread HERE.

NOTE: If you already have any of the scanning programs on the computer, please remove them and download the versions in these links.

When you have finished, leave the logs for review in your next reply .
NOTE: Logs must be pasted in the replies. Attached logs will not be reviewed.

A condition to #1- you must remove all those programs you ran trying to fix the problem even if some of them are included in the above. Then you will download the scans in the steps and we'll start there. A program I would most likely use following the above will show open ports and they can be closed through that program.

or #2: I can have this thread moved to a more appropriate forum in TechSpot.

It is your choice. Let me know.
===================================
My Guidelines: please read and follow:
  • Be patient. Malware cleaning takes time and I am also working with other members while I am helping you.
  • Read my instructions carefully. If you don't understand or have a problem, ask me.
  • If you have questions, or if a program doesn't work, stop and tell me about it. Don't try to get around it yourself.
  • Follow the order of the tasks I give you. Order is crucial in cleaning process.
  • File sharing programs should be uninstalled or disabled during the cleaning process..
  • Observe these:
    [o] Don't use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you.
    [o] Don't use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
    [o] Don't download and install new programs- except those I give you.
  • Please let me know if there is any change in the system.

If I don't get a reply from you in 5 days, the thread will be closed. If your problem persist, you can send a PM to reopen it.

==== End Of File ===========================
 
When a system has multiple programs running that do the same thing, it creates the following:
1. The purpose of any of the programs might be compromised so that none do the job intended.
2. An unnecessary amount of resources are used which can slow the system down.
--------------------------------------
Multiple security programs may conflict so that none of them does what it is suppose to:
1.Multiple antivirus programs will make a system more vulnerable so that none of them can decide which will do what and viruses, Trojans, Worms, etc can pass through on to the system.
2. Multiple firewalls can conflict so that the ports being monitored aren't 'listening'. This may allow scanners, hackers, crackers,et al to pass through a port bring malware with it.

Multiple system monitors for cleaning, registry removal, memory optimizing all running at the same time will:
1. Use large amount of the system resources.
2. Possibly in the attempt to decide which program will do what, entries may be removed in error or entries that should be removed aren't.

That being said, here is your system:
Antivirus:
ClamWin
Symantec Endpoint Protection
Lavasoft Ad-Watch Live! Anti-Virus
Microsoft Security Essentials

Firewall:
Zone Alarm> vsdatant.sys> Related to ZoneAlarm Firewall Driver.
PC Tools Firewall Plus
Symantec Endpoint Protectio
Microsoft Security Essentials

Anrtimalware: 2 or more is okay. They should use different manners to monitor:
Spybot-S&D IE Protection
Trend Micro Browser Guard/ BHO and TB
SUPERAntiSpyware
IObit Malware Fighter
IE Privacy Keeper
Malwarebytes
SuperAdBlocker
Norman Malware Cleaner
Lavasoft Ad-Aware
Microsoft Security Client\Antimalwar
Emsisoft HiJackFree 4.5
HiJackThis

System Cleaners/Optomizers:
Advanced SystemCare
IOLO> PC Tuneup
CleanMem
Microsoft Fix it Center
CCleaner
FileASSASSIN> unlock
System Checkup 3.0
---------------------------------------------
Please get this down to:
One antivirus
One Firewall
Three of the antimalware programs
One system 'cleaner.'

===========================================
Please reboot the system when through
===========================================
When the above has been handled:
Please note: If you have previously run Combofix and it's still on the system, please uninstall it. Then download the current version and do the scan: Uninstall directions, if needed
  • Click START> then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
--------------------------------------
Download Combofix from HERE or HEREhttp://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe and save to the desktop
  • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. It is recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode if needed.
    **Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.
  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.
  • Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:
    The Recovery Console was successfully installed.
  • .Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware
  • .If Combofix asks you to update the program, allow
  • .Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  • .Close any open browsers.
  • .Double click combofix.exe
    cf-icon.jpg
    & follow the prompts to run.
  • When the scan completes , a report will be generated-it will open a text window. Please paste the C:\ComboFix.txt in next reply..
Re-enable your Antivirus software.

Note 1:Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
Note 2: ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
Note 3: Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CD, floppy and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you -- please tell your helper.
Note 4: CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.
Note 5: If you receive an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion", restart computer to fix the issue.
==================================
Edit: A reminder that it is the user who is the first line of security. No matter how much or how many security programs you put on a system, you are the first block of malware. So if you do careless things on the internet, you will see the results happen on your system.
 
Hi Bobbye,

Thankyou for your advice...all done as requested, along with the ComboFix log.

One thing I've just noticed though, despite using the 'uninstall' facility to remove Microsoft Security Essentials, it's still showing as an AV in the ComboFix log (I'm going to keep Symantec Endpoint Protection as the primary and only AV)???

Look forward to hearing from you ref. the next step.

Best regards,
Virtual Madness

System looking better- would still like for you to go through all the programs you gathered to fix the problem. They don't need to keep loading.

I can remove Microsoft Security Essentials in the Combofix header since you ran the uninstaller. I will also include any left-over entries in script through Combofix. Since Symantec Endpoint Protection "Integrated antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and intrusion prevention as well as device control and application control" you should also uninstall the PC Tools Firewall.

From PC Tools Firewall support: Try using the program uninstaller first:
To uninstall PC Tools Firewall Plus:

Click on Start -> All Programs / Programs -> PC Tools Firewall Plus (folder) -> Uninstall PC Tools Firewall Plus. Follow the prompts to remove the application from your computer.
-----------------------
If you have any problem with that:
You may uninstall PC Tools Firewall Plus through the control panel:
1. Open the Windows Control Panel by clicking on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, click or double-click on Add or Remove programs / Add/Remove Programs.
3. In the list of currently installed programs/software, click on the PC Tools Firewall Plus item to select it.
4. Click the Remove button and follow the remaining prompts to remove the application from your computer.
After uninstalling any program, you should always delete it's program folder: Right click on Taskbar> Explore> Computer> double click Local Drive> Programs> do a right click> Delete on the folder.
====================================
Please go ahead with the PCTools Firewall removal. There are several entries running.
========================================
You still have excess 'system cleaners/optimizers:
1. Advise remove Advanced System Care: none of the software maker sites or pages are considered safe per WOT.
2. You are also running TweakNow PowerPack 2011 and TweakNow RegCleaner 2011. We don't recommend anyone using a registry cleaner.
3. Iolo is still running.
------------------------------
What you need to consider is that all these programs that are suppose to be cleaning and optimizing are using system resources. Rarely is it the case of them being enough of a trade off in what they do to make them worth the resources they use. Historically, a memory optimizer uses more resources than what it's suppose to be optimizing!
======================
Are you still using the HP printer you installed in 2003?
=====================
What do you have from Webroot> There is some appdata for 'Webroot.'
======================
Did you set these up?

Hi Bobbye,

It’s starting to become apparent that you’re the genius I’ve been trying to track down :wave:

I can remove Microsoft Security Essentials in the Combofix header since you ran the uninstaller. I will also include any left-over entries in script through Combofix.

Yes, please :)

Since Symantec Endpoint Protection "Integrated antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and intrusion prevention as well as device control and application control" you should also uninstall the PC Tools Firewall.

Done :)

1. Advise remove Advanced System Care: none of the software maker sites or pages are considered safe per WOT.

Done :)

2. You are also running TweakNow PowerPack 2011 and TweakNow RegCleaner 2011. We don't recommend anyone using a registry cleaner.

TweakNow PowerPack uninstalled as requested, but I didn’t realise I was still running TweakNow RegCleaner – I thought I had uninstalled it previously, but obviously not!?!? Can you advise of the best way to remove please, as it doesn’t appear in the Add/Remove Programs List or Program Folder (I found a Folder In Application Data, so I deleted that as a starting point)?

3. Iolo is still running.

Again, I thought I had uninstalled it previously, but obviously not!?!? Can you advise of the best way to remove please, as it doesn’t appear in the Add/Remove Programs List or Program Folder (again, I found a Folder In Application Data, so I deleted that as a starting point)?

Are you still using the HP printer you installed in 2003?

Yes, it’s an old ‘all-in-one’ Printer Scanner and Copier – I’ll get something newer one day I’m sure :)

What do you have from Webroot> There is some appdata for 'Webroot.'

Again, I thought I had uninstalled it previously, but obviously not!?!? Can you advise of the best way to remove please, as it doesn’t appear in the Add/Remove Programs List or Program Folder (again, I found a Folder In Application Data that you noticed, so I deleted that as a starting point)?

Did you set these up?

Hosts: 10.6.2.204 crmprod.private.de crmprod
Hosts: 10.6.2.205 portalprod.private.de portalprod
Hosts: 10.6.2.64 sapbwserver.private.de sapbwserver

Yes, they're work related IP addresses that I connect to via a Secure VPN – the content isn’t too sensitive though, just access to product information that I can pass on to customers.

Finally, not too sure if it was the right thing to do or not, but I downloaded from the link in your previous post a fresh copy of ComboFix and run it again – I just thought providing you with an up-to-date log would give you a snapshot of the system after taking into account the above.

I also uninstalled it (Combofix /Uninstall from the cmd prompt) and turned back on System Restore etc.

Look forward to hearing from you again (at your convienence) ref. going through the last of the clean up process :)

Very best regards,
Virtual Madness.

Well you surely made my day with all those Smiley faces! Although I do not resemble a genius in any way, I do ask questions- we all have processes on the system either that we no longer use or didn't know we had. I will include script for removal of those 'left overs':

By the way, all peripherals I've had have been from HP. I think I might have the same all in one HP you do- it's been the best workhorse for years! Plain and simple> print, scan and copy!
============================================
Please run this Custom CFScript:

  • [1]. Close any open browsers.
    [2]. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
    [3]. Open notepad> click on Format> Uncheck 'Word Wrap'> and copy/paste the text in the code below into it:Be sure to scroll down to include ALL lines.

Hi Bobbye,

Thanks again for all your help with this and by the way, I agree, the old HP 'all-in-one' is a very good work horse and it hasn't let me down yet :)

Okay, again I done as you asked, but this time, just when everything seemed to be going so well, I made a bit of an error!!! Hope it hasn't messed up all your good work???

I ran the CF Script as you suggested, but when copying and pasting, I forgot to change 'virtual madness' in the code you had written, for my real name in a couple of the paths...Of course, it ran, but didn't do anything where 'virtual madness' was included in the script, as you would expect.

After it had finished, I saved the log as ComboFix Log 1 - see next post...

I ran it for a second time, this time being sure to change 'virtual madness' for my real name - it made some further changes, as I had hoped, then I saved the log as ComboFix Log 2 - see following posts.

Sorry for any inconvienence and confusion caused and I hope the script has still performed as you intended?

Pending your further instructions/advice after review, I have also just noticed that I still have references to the uninstalled Ad Aware and Root Repeal programs:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service]
@=""

AND

Okay, I had the rootrepeal.sys registry entry in the first script:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\rootrepeal.sys]

But I did not include AdAware:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service]

For that: Click on Start> Run> type in services.msc[/]b> enter> scroll to the:
Service Name: aawservice
Service Display Name: Ad-Aware 2007 Service
Double click to open> Set Startup type to Disable> Stop the Service.
========================================
Prevyx is calling rootrepeal.sys a virus. It describes as this:
File Behavior

ROOTREPEAL.SYS has been the subject of the following behavior:

* Created as a new Background Service on the machine
* Deleted as a process from disk
* Loaded and Executed as a System Driver File
* Created as a process on disk
However it does modify this saying:
It is possible that your PC could be infected. The file name ROOTREPEAL.SYS is used by both safe and unsafe programs.

I was surprised to see the entry as there were no other entries for it. Since it remained on the system, let's check it out for a virus:
  • Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
    ESETOnlineScan
  • For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
    [o] Click on Posted Image to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
    [o] Double click on the
    esetSmartInstallDesktopIcon.png
    on your desktop.
  • Check 'Yes I accept terms of use.'
  • Click Start button
  • Accept any security warnings from your browser.
    esetonlinescannersettings_thumb.jpg
  • Uncheck 'Remove found threats'
  • Check 'Scan archives/
  • Leave remaining settings as is.
  • Press the Start button.
  • ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please wait for the scan to finish.
  • When the scan completes, press List of found threats
  • Push Export of text file and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Paste this log in your next reply.
  • Push the Back button
  • Push Finish

Please post the entire log with heading resembling this:
ESETSmartInstaller@High as CAB hook log:
OnlineScanner.ocx - registred OK
esets_scanner_update returned -1 esets_gle=1

NOTE: If no malware is found then no log will be produced. Let me know if this is the case.
 
Hi Bobbeye,

Thanks again for your prompt reply.

I ran the ESET on-line scanner as you suggested - after a couple of hours of scanning this morning, it finaly ended saying no threats were found, so of course, no log report was produced.

Prior to running the scan, I also followed your instructions with regards to stopping the Ad-Adware Service, but it didn't appear in the list??? FYI, I've posted below details of all of the services and their current state.

By the way, just before I post the list, I still have the following entries which is strange, as there is no other reference to them anywhere else??? I didn't notice the 'IMF' one when posting the ComboFix Logs before (I obviously wasn't looking hard enough :)), and isn't the 'MsMpSvc' entry something to do with Microsoft's antimalware stuff (which again, I thought you and I had removed??).

Sorry, me again Bobbye...

I also neglected to mention in earlier posts, but over the last few weeks, whilst trying to self diagnose (wish I had just posted her in the first place!!!), somewhere along the way, something else has changed with my login sequence. Before all this started, when I turned on my Laptop, it would start in the normal way stating 'Windows is starting up' etc - it would then prompt for my password in the normal way. Now (I'm not extactly sure when it started, but it was a while ago), it also goes through a process of showing different paths before getting to the password stage. I know the wording 'RPCSS is starting' is included. When logging off, a similar thing happens, but this time it will say something along the lines of 'Machine Policies' and 'Playing Log Off Sound' etc?

I'm guesing whilst installing different freeware and/or googling different 'fixes', I've activated a setting that shows what is happening behind the scences, when normally, such info. is hidden at the Welcome/Login stage. It doesn't matter if it stays there/continues from here on in, it's just taking a little getting used to, that's all...

Cheers Bobbye.

Kindest regards,
Virtual Madness
 
You are getting way too involved for our purposes.

I listed your excess Security programs. I instructed you to remove the excess and get them down to the number I quoted. That was your job. I did remove excess entries when it appeared you had remove the program- that was my job.

This showed running in the DDS log:
R2 Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service;Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service;c:\program files\lavasoft\ad-aware\AAWService.exe [2011-8-18 2151640]
The Combofix log didn't have it and the header no longer showed it. You apparently decided to uninstall AdAware instead if just disabling the AdWatch Live AV

I told you that I had not included AdAware in the script- it is a registry process-,please be sure to use Windows Explorer> right click on Start> Explore> My Computer> Double click on Local Drive (C)> Programs.> look for AdAware or Lavasoft folder and do a right click> Delete .

You can remove it here:
Custom CFScript

  • [1]. Close any open browsers.
    [2]. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
    [3]. Open notepad> click on Format> Uncheck 'Word Wrap> and copy/paste the text in the code below into it:
Code:
File::
Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service]
Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe
CFScriptB-4.gif


Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it will produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt . No log needed.
====================
and isn't the 'MsMpSvc' entry something to do with Microsoft's antimalware stuff (which again, I thought you and I had removed??).

This is not an issue. Microsoft Security Client\Antimalware was sent as an update as far as I know. It is not part of MSE- also as far as I know: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2394433

You are taking log entries out of context. Just like pulling one sentence out of an article, it can be very misleading.

You initial problem was closing ports. I have not heard anything about that so you must have resolved it.

This is IMF: IObit Malware Fighter
R2 IMFservice;IMF Service;c:\program files\iobit\iobit malware fighter\IMFsrv.exe [2011-7-28 820568]

When you were trying to fix the problem before you got here, did you run RootRepeal?
 
My apologies, I didn't mean to get so involved...it's just that I've spent so long trying to resolve the issue that I got completely rapped up in your guidance - which seemed to be making such a difference (everything was getting so much faster and repsonse times were so much better etc. etc.).

Don't worry about the odd left over entry and the weired logging on and off scenario - I can live with that now.

More importantly, I've just tried logging onto the website where I first noticed the issue - you'll be pleased to know everything seems to be cured - no more iexplore.exe hanging (for the first time in what seems like ages)!!!!!! I guess it was the mutliple malware programs I had running and a combination of tweaks which led to a conflict that ultimately caused the original problem.

Anyway, it seems to be resolved now you've cleaned up my system, so I'm not going to take up anymore of your time and let you get on and help others.

I'll run the last ComboFix script you've provided and leave it at that.

By the way, yes, I did run RootRepeal before visiting TechSpot - it was recommended by someone as a potential fix.

Thanks again, and sorry for dragging it on.

You're welcome! It's not that I minded helping you, but my main function in this forum is Virus and Malware removal. That is a time consuming activity. I try to give other tips as we go along if appropriate and I'm going to leave some for you.
--------------------------------
First, let's remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created
  • Uninstall ComboFix and all Backups of the files it deleted
  • Click START> then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
    CF_Uninstall-1.jpg
  • Download OTCleanIt by OldTimer and save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click OTCleanIt.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  • The tool will delete itself once it finishes.
-----
Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

Note: If any tool, file or folder (belonging to the program we have used) hasn't been deleted, please delete it manually.
------------------------------------------
  • You should now set a new Restore Point and remove the old restore points to prevent infection from any previous Restore Points.
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools
  • Click "System Restore".
  • Choose "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next".
  • Give the Restore Point a name> click "Create".
  • Go back and follow the path to > System Tools.
    [*]Choose Disc Cleanup
    [*]Click "OK" to select the partition or drive you want.
    [*]Click the "More Options" Tab.
    [*]Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous Restore Points except the newly created one.


Empty the Recycle Bin
====================================
As was discussed, too much of the same type of security can be a bad thing. Better is to use different types of security and work on the settings in the system:

Tips for added security and safer browsing: (Links are in Bold Blue)
  1. Browser Security
    [o] Safe Settings (Please ignore the suggestion to use the Registry Editor in this section "Creating a Custom Security Zone")
    [o] ZonedOut. This manages the Zones in Internet Explorer. (For IE7 and IE8, Windows 2000 thru Vista. No Windows 7)
    [o] Replace the Host Files
    [o] Google Toolbar Pop Up Blocker
    I consider a Site Advisor to be one of the most important assets there are to a safe system.
    [o]Web of Trust (WOT) Site Advisor. Traffic-light rating symbols show which rate the site for Trustworthiness, Vendor Reliability, Privacy, Child Safety.
  2. Have layered Security:
    [o]Antivirus :(only one): Previously discussed
    [o]Firewall (only one): Use bi-directional firewall. Both of the following programs are free and known to be good:
    [o]Comodo
    [o]Zone Alarm
  3. Antimalware: I recommend all of the following:
    [o]Spywareblaster: SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX.
    [o]Spybot Search & Destroy
  4. Updates: Stay current:
    [o] the Microsoft Download Sitefrequently. All updates marked Critical and the current SP updates.
    [o]Adobe Reader Install current, uninstall old.
    [o]Java Updates Install current, uninstall old.
  5. Tracking Cookies
    Reset Cookie:
    [o]For Internet Explorer: Internet Options (through Tools or Control Panel) Privacy tab> Advanced button> check 'override automatic Cookie handling'> check 'accept first party Cookies'> check 'Block third party Cookies'> check 'allow per session Cookies'> Apply> OK.
    [o]For Firefox: Tools> Options> Privacy> Cookies> check ‘accept Cookies from Sites’> Uncheck 'accept third party Cookies'> Set Keep until 'they expire'. This will allow you to keep Cookies for registered sites and prevent or remove others. (Note: for Firefox v3.5, after Privacy click on 'use custom settings for History.')
    I suggest using the following two add-on for Firefox. They will prevent the Tracking Cookies that come from ads and banners and other sources:
    AdBlock Plus
    Easy List
    [o]For Chrome: Tools> Options> Under The Hood> Privacy Section> CHECK 'Restrict how third party Cookies can be used'> Close.
  6. Do regular Maintenance
    Clean the temporary internet files often:
    [o] Temporary File Cleaner]
    or
    [o] ATF Cleaner by Atribune
  7. Restore Points:
    [o]See System Restore Guide
  8. Safe Email Handling
    [o] Don't open email from anyone you don't know.
    [o] Don't open Attachments in the email. Safe to your desktop and scan for viruses using a right click
    [o] Don't leave your personal email address on the internet. Have a separate email account at one of the free web-based emails like Yahoo.
Please let me know if you find any bad link.
================================
And a word of caution regarding this:
I did run RootRepeal before visiting TechSpot - it was recommended by someone as a potential fix.
Programs of this nature, should only be run if appropriate for the particular malware and then only with the directions of a helper. This is the one time you don't want to listen to friends!
 
Hi Bobbye,

Thanks again for all of your help - I carried out the final stages that you've mentioned above (running OldTimer etc). Everything seems to be in order now and running like new.

As I mentioned before, I still have the bizzare start up routine after pressing the Power Button (Blue Screen with 'Windows is starting up' etc. with RPSCC is starting...underneath (in white letters) along with a few other lines of text that flash by quickly. The Logging off sequence, as mentioned before, is still weird as well, showing the words 'Playing Log Off Sound' etc, again in white letters. Oh well, unless you can point me in the right direction within the forum (and I don't expect you to, you've done more than enough), I guess I'll find someone who will have some idea of what it's all about in the end - but it's something that can be lived with if all else failes :)

Oh yes, and finally, no matter how times I run the CFScripts you gave me, or manually delete the entries within the registry, the following lines still keep coming back from somewhere after a reboot (despite the programs or any potential 'leftover components' not showing up anywhere else in the root directory!?!):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\IMFservice
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\rootrepeal.sys]

But hey, so what, things are 100 times better than they were :)

Cheers Bobbye!
 
Thread got away from me- sorry.

Try this: Boot into Safe Mode
  • Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard.
  • Select the Safe Mode option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.
--------------------
Now rerun the script as follows:
Custom CFScript

  • [1]. Close any open browsers.
    [2]. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
    [3]. Open notepad> click on Format> Uncheck 'Word Wrap> and copy/paste the text in the code below into it:
Code:
File::
Registry::
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\IMFser vice
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\rootrepeal.sys]
Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe
CFScriptB-4.gif


Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it will produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt . Please paste into to your next reply.
====================
Make sure the program folders for AdAware, Iobit Malware Fighter and RootRepeal are removed.
=====================
Boot back into Normal Mode.
[=====================
For the other logoff problem: Note the time on the computer clock as you log off:
First, logoff to force the problem. Then do the following:

Please download VEW and save it to your Desktop:

Setting up the program

Double-click VEW.exe to run.

  • Select log to query, select
  • Application
  • System

    Under Select type to list, select:
  • Critical (Vista only)
  • Error

    Click the radio button for Number of events
  • Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box
  • Then click the Run button.
  • Notepad will open with the output log.

    Load the log
  • In Notepad, click Edit> Select all
  • Then press Edit > Copy
  • Press Ctrl+V on your keyboard to paste the log to your next reply.

(Courtesy rev-Olie)

Please tell me what the log off time was and I'll try to see if I can find a corresponding error. This is out of the malware realm and depending on what I see, I may refer you to a more appropriate forum to troubleshoot it.
 
Hi Bobbye,

Okay, I did as you suggested ref. running the latest CFScript you provided (in Safemode) - no change, the entries are still there:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\IMFser vice
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\rootrepeal.sys

As a further test, I ran a search in Reg Edit and found similar entries in the following locations:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\IMFservice
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\rootrepeal.sys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\IMFservice
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\rootrepeal.sys

There are no other entries anywhere else in the Registry Keys and no left over folders in Program Files or Application Data etc. etc.

It's weird, because as a further test of my own (after running your CFScript), I decided to manually delete all of the above entries - after a reboot, they all appeared again in exactly the same place...very strange...

Oh well, I can live with it, they obviously don't want to be removed and you've made a big difference to the performance of my Laptop anyway - as well as sorting out those stubborn open internet ports that were refusing to close before you got involved!

Finally, I got to the bottom of the logging on/logging off scenario myself just before you had the chance to reply - it turns out whilst trying to sort out the open internet ports problem before approaching you guys initially, I had down loaded and installed a freeware package called 'tweaking.com_simple_performance_boost_setup'. It had a check box named 'show start up information'...To resolve the issue, I re-installed the package - but this time I un-checked the box, ran it, then completely uninstalled it from my Laptop - problem sorted at last!

Thanks again for all of your help Bobbye - if you want to go ahead and close this thread now, by all means do so. If there is anything else you do want or need to add though, again by all means do.

Very best regards,
Virtual Madness
 
If you notice, the 3 entries are in the CONTROLSETS: I found information on these here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302829/ko

About #11 starts the pertinent information:
Under normal circumstances, CONTROLSET001 and CONTROLSET002 are displayed. The Select key normally indicates that CONTROLSET001 is the Current and Default value. CONTROLSET002 is usually the LastKnownGood value. The Failed value often has a value of 0.For additional information about using the Select key and ControlSets, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    [o] Temporary File Cleaner]
    or

    [o]See System Restore Guide
  8. Safe Email Handling
    [o] Don't open email from anyone you don't know.
    [o] Don't open Attachments in the email. Safe to your desktop and scan for viruses using a right click
    [o] Don't leave your personal email address on the internet. Have a separate email account at one of the free web-based emails like Yahoo.
Please let me know if you find any bad link.

You ask about how you got infected: An excerpt from Tony Klein´s guide:

So how did I get infected in the first place? You usually get infected due to one of these issues:
1. Your security settings are too low.
2. Your security programs are not regularly updated.
3. You don't have a full set of security programs installed and running in resident mode.
4. You visit dangerous sites or open attachments from without checking them first.

An another approach:14 ways to get Infected without trying

A little bit of humour but also based on fact.

1) Look for cracks, subdivided in illegal software and .....

2) Practice unsafe hex, browse the web for free pOrn

3) Look for software that adds smileys to your posts, mail etc

4) Look for kewl skins, screensavers etc

5) Look for spyware removers, concentrate on the kind that makes you pay before it removes anything

6) Install a P2P program and repeat all of the above

7) You always want the best; use p2p to download anti-virus/firewall software.

8) Do NOT pay for anything, the internet is a place where you can steal anything from everyone without even saying as much as thank you

9) Don't have/use/update antivirus/security software

10) Look for pokergames, slotmachines and other gambling outfits

11) Look for ringtones and other stuff to bling your phone

12) Click on those unexpected links and attachments in email, because you're curious...

13) Do loan your laptop to the next door neighbour for the weekend and give him your Admin account login so he can get his project done with no hassles

14) Let the Babysitter use your laptop for 'schoolwork' :

Thanks to Metallica for most of those and CalamityJane, bitman, Lonny, shelf life.
