After we get some of this cleaned up remind me to have you run through our preliminary removal instructions. It has a lot of programs and links to help keep you clean.

Older versions of Java are easily exploited by malware so lets update your Java right off the bat.

Update your Java Runtime Environment
  • First try going to Start -> Control Panel -> double click Java
  • Select the Update Tab at the top of the Java console
  • Click the Check for Updates button at the bottom
  • If it finds the newer version (Java 6 Update 5) Follow the on screen instructions
  • After it installs the newest version Go back to Control Panel -> Add/remove programs
  • Uninstall any older versions of Java

If for some reason you couldn't update through the above instructions.
  • Click the following link
    Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 5
  • The 4th option down is the one you want (click Download)
  • Check the box to agree to terms of service
  • Check the box for your operating system and click 'Download selected'at the bottom
  • After the install Go to Start-> Control Panel-> add/remove programs (Programs and features), and uninstall any old versions
  • Navigate to C:\programfiles\Java -> delete any subfolders except the jre1.6.0_05 folder

You aren't running Firewall Software. Please download and install one of these first!

Use a Firewall - It is very important that you use a Firewall on your computer. If you use the Windows Firewall you might think that's enough but it only controls inbound traffic. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. Here are some firewalls which are free for personal use and most commonly used:

Not a lot of good options for Vista, I use
Comodo Make sure to do the Advanced Install
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download and Run ATF Cleaner
Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.

Double-click ATF Cleaner.exe to open it.

Under Main choose:
Windows Temp
Current User Temp
All Users Temp
Cookies
Temporary Internet Files
Prefetch
Java Cache

*The other boxes are optional*
Then click the Empty Selected button.

Firefox or Opera:
Click Firefox or Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combofix
  • Download Combofix to your desktop.
  • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • A window will open with a warning.
  • Type "1" (and Enter) to start the fix.
  • When the scan completes it will open a text window. Please attach that log back here together with a fresh HJT log.
Caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop. Combofix is a very powerful tool so please do NOT do anything without instruction

Combofix will automatically save the log file to C:\combofix.txt

Is there a certain report you want from Kaspersky or do you want all 6?

I do appreciate the help
Thanks,
nufather
 
I have windows firewall on
I am also running trend micro antivirus
and I just got Spyware Doctor last night

are these ok?
 
Windows Firewall is better than nothing. However it is extremely complicated to configure correctly and as I said. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. By default Windows Firewall only protects you from incoming traffic. Ultimately it is up to you, but I recommend Comodo.

After you are clean we will tighten up your security with what I recommend. Basically you want 1 active Anti-virus (Trend Micro is great), 1 active Firewall, and then a combonation of anti-spyware

Please don't post multiple times in a row, between my replies, as I get an email everytime you post. As you may have noticed there are hundreds of replies to post a day here, that means I already get hundreds of emails. You can use the edit button until I reply, then make a new post.

Ok, I updated Java and delted the 1 previous ver.
I installed comodo pro but didnt see an advanced setting in install
I ran ATF cleaner w/firefox option

Sorry about the double posts, I thought I was editing.


Goodnight then. Thank you so much for your help.
 
Ok, Just to let you know I have to sleep for a bit, when I wake up you will be at the top of my list of fixes.
 
CFScript

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)
File::
C:\Windows\system32\gbmbkzyf.exe

Registry::
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"rjviabma"=-

Save this as CFScript.txt

Then drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below.

CFScript.gif


This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply together with a fresh HJT log.

Go ahead and attach the logs. This particular infection should be gone. However to make sure you are clean, please follow these Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions and post back in this thread with the requested logs.
