Cannot remove vundo even after following instructions

mkitchings

Posts: 7   +0
Hello all! I followed the instructions in topic 58138, but my computer is still turning up with the Vundo virus. I am attaching the log files. The AVG antiroot kit showed nothing is on my system, thankfully. SS&D finds it, but cannot remove all of it. Evidently neither can Norton. Whenever I get on the Internet, it tries to redirect me, lots of new windows open themselves, plus many sites that I commonly access run extremely slowly or simply quit responding.

Not sure if it's relevant, but my Norton scanner keeps picking up Ezula adware also. Norton says it has fixed both Ezula and Vundo many times, but evidently it is not finding something.

I appreciate any suggestions that might help me with this one. Thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Your system is a complete mess and I don`t know if cleaning it is going to solve your problems.

Go to add remove programmes in your control panel and uninstall anything to do with(if there).

viewpoint
viewpoint toolbar
viewpoint manager

Close control panel.

Click start/run and type services.msc into the run box and press the enter key.

When the window appears, maximise it. Double click on the following services(if there) and select stop if they are running. Set the startup type to disabled. Click apply/ok for each service you disable.

Viewpoint Manager Service

Close the services window.

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the code box below into it:
NOTE* make sure to only highlight and copy what is inside the quote box nothing out side of it.
Also ..

Pay particular attention to this :-

Make sure the word File:: is on the first line of the text file you save (no blank line above it, & no space in front of it)

thanks for vundo fix

Howard

Thanks for the quick response. I know it's late there. :zzz:

I think this may have fixed my problem, in which case you are a genius. I've been browsing the web for a little while, and so far no pop-ups or redirects. Yeah! :wave:

I did not find the ViewPoint Manager service, but I was able to remove the program through the Control Panel.

I am concerned that my computer is a mess though. Any recommendations or thoughts on how to keep it from getting worse? I typically don't download, but it's a family computer so I can't swear that the kids aren't.

Again, I really appreciate the help.

Melissa
 
I`m sorry, it appears I forgot to ask you to post fresh HJT and Combofix logs. I can then check the logs to see if we`ve managed to get rid of all the nasties.

Still quite a lot of malware to get rid of.

You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how HERE.

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE.

Open your task manager, by holding down the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the delete key.

Click on the processes tab and end process for(if there).

WinTouch.exe
poolsv.exe

Close task manager.

Run HJT with no other programmes open(except notepad). Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0301E306-631D-415D-B317-309EE3FE5B75} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkklj.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [poolsv] "C:\WINDOWS\poolsv.exe"

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WinTouch] C:\Documents and Settings\Melissa\Application Data\WinTouch\WinTouch.exe

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

Locate and delete the following bold files and/or folders(if there).

C:\Documents and Settings\Melissa\Application Data\WinTouch
C:\WINDOWS\poolsv.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\awtqr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kygvphgt.dll

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Go back to my post#2 and follow the Combofix instructions again.

Then, post fresh Combofix and HJT logs.

Your HJT log is now clean.

However, your combofix log most certainly isn`t.

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the code box below into it:
