Hi all, my name is Jerry. Totally newbie here, so if I violate your protocol, please accept my apologies, my first post. When logging on to the internet with IE, i get a warning page. Any website that i try to access thru IE gives me the same warning.I also get the small Windows Security Alert box that says "Application cannot be executed. The file googletoolbar_32.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now? When clicking on "Yes" it takes you to a webpage to purchase AV protection from a website (Rogue website URL removed) where you are offered 3 choices of levels of AV protection to purchase. I've tried different ways to get around this but cannot access anything thru IE. Not long ago my AV protection thru Trendmicro expired, and no sooner than that, I acquired this problem.I began to follow your 8 steps to eliminate it. I downloaded Avast Antivirus and ran a full scan. nothing was picked up in it but there were approx. 7 or 8 files that it couldn't access. Next I downloaded TFC but it won't allow it to run. I went on to the next step. I downloaded MBAM went thru the install, but again it won't let the program scan. Any help or suggestions on where or how to proceed from here, would be greatly appreciated. I have Mozilla Firefox as an alternative internet access on my computer, which is how I am able to access your website. Thank you in advance for your help.
 
Welcome to TechSpot, Jerry! And congrats on going back to school. You'll be amazed at how different it seems to an adult> Your time will be premium so you will learn well and may end up leading the class!

It sounds like you may have a malware infection called Security Tool It sucks many users in. Just a comment to you> never click on a security popups like this. It will tell you the system is infected and offer to fix it for a price. Meanwhile, it's leaving more malware on the system.

I'd like to vary the preliminary scans a bit to try and get you running:

First, Run Eset NOD32 Online AntiVirus scan HEREhttp://www.eset.eu/online-scanner
  1. Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
  2. Click Start
  3. When asked, allow the Active X control to install
  4. Disable your current Antivirus software. You can usually do this with its Notification Tray icon near the clock.
  5. Click Start
  6. Make sure that the option "Remove found threats" is Unchecked, and the option "Scan unwanted applications" is checked
  7. Click Scan
  8. Wait for the scan to finish
  9. Re-enable your Antivirus software.
  10. A logfile is created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please include this on your post.

Then, to help run Mbam, download randmbam.exe

It will try to create random names and shortcuts for Malwarebytes Anti Malware(MBAM) if you have it installed already. Once done, try running a scan again

Paste the logs in your next reply and after I see what we're dealing with, I'll know what steps to take next.

Important!
Please do not use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you, unless I direct you to. Do not use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
 
Bobbye, thanks for getting back to me. I started to walk thru the steps of your fix. First I downloaded the eset smart installer. When I go to open, it opens for a second and then disappears, as if whatever is going on is blocking it. this is the same thing that happened when I tried the 8 step fix. I get something downloaded, but when I try to open it, it opens for a split second and disappears. What to do next?
 
Update to post on possible virus

Bobbye- Just got back from my sat. morning classes. Found out a couple of more things that I thought might be useful info before you reply with the next steps to take.
When I log in and use mozilla to access web, I can do that and go almost anywhere. However, I do get the IE window opening up by itself, as I access different things thru Mozilla. The annoying little security alert window and other alerts keep randomly opening also. For what ever reason, this rogue malware or whatever the correct term for it is, keeps randomly opening one of three websites besides the page to purchase their software. They are porno.com, porno.org and viagra something or other, I forgot. I do not look at porno and have never been to these websites. The only other users are all young children, and they would have no idea about these and if so, wouldn't be on them as I supervise their use. Two other things that happened, turned on the computer and logged on under my kids user symbol. Everything worked so I quickly closed out and logged on as me. Immediately upon opening IE, avast quarantined a potential threat. Don't know how to access it to tell you what it is. However, I still cannot access IE, all I get is the page that says "internet explorer cannot display this webpage". Don't know if any of this helps get us closer to a resolution. But thanks again in advance for your time and assistance
J.W.
 
All of the symptoms you're having describe malware. It's possible one of the kids click on some popup and now there is at least adware on the system. Porno and Viagra are all over the internet- few people actually click on the sites but many people get the annoying popups. I suspect that the kids have User accounts with lower security. But when you used your account, it was for the Administrator and malware loves that account!

The IE Window that is coming up will also be malware. Although having several iexplore.exe entries in the Task Manager is normal if you use IE 8, the popups IE Window will be malware..See if you can run HijackThis. That's about as basic as there is to give information. It is not a 'threat' to malware because it doesn't remove anything automatically:

Download the HijackThis Installer and save to the desktop:
  1. Double-click on HJTInstall.exe to run the program.
  2. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
  3. Accept the license agreement by clicking the "I Accept" button.
  4. Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
  5. Click "Save log" to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
  6. Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  7. Come back here to this thread and paste (Ctrl+V) the log in your next reply.

NOTE: Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Now that you have the programs downloaded, if necessary, I'll have you try to run them in Safe Mode. But I have to get something I can see. If it's in HJT, I can have you stop it and it may allow you to run the other programs.
 
Reply after trying HijackThis

Bobbye,

Not sure what is happening. I can no longer access IE or Mozilla when logged in as "Owner". I only get a "internet webpage is not available" when on IE. With Mozilla, I now get a proxy registry problem page when trying to access internet. I can only access anyt hing when I log on as a different user. And of course many things that are available to me as owner, are not as a different user, such as my documents for papers I wrote for classes, pictures, things on my desktop and so on. So I logged on under a different user and downloaded the HijackThis and ran a scan. For some reason my system denied write access to the file. I have Vista 32bit. It is supposed to allow me to choose the "Run as Administrator" option when I right click on the icon on my desktop. That option is not there. When the log appears after the scan and I click on "save log" The savelog window opens. When I click on "Save" a small window opens to say the file already exists and do i want to replace it. "No" leaves me there. "Yes" brings me to a script that says "Cannot find the C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\ hijackthis.log file. Do you want to create a new file? " Either answer "yes" or "no" leaves me with a blank notepad document. Tha scan results in the scan window will not let me copy and paste them. As you can imagine, they are quite lengthy to have to write out completely manually. What do suggest next?
Again, thanks for your continued help.
Best regards-
Jerry W.
 
Bobbye-
Did an advanced search for HijackThis on my computer and found this file. Hope its what you were looking for and it helps bring us a step closer. A question for you- if we fix this under a different user, will it fix everything under the "Owner" as well? Also, when this is finished I would appreciate your suggestions as to what I should have for internet security, steps to take to speed up the computer, and suggestions as to programs that should be added or removed. As of right now, my TrendMicro recently expired. Maybe that's what allowed this to happen. I have the avast! Antivirus on there which you previously had me download.
Thanks again-
Jerry W.

Bobbye,
Hello, again. I was able to go into tools and found that the proxy settings had been changed for some reason. I changed them back to autodetect and was able to connect to the internet. So, I started thru the steps you gave me originally. I will include the results of the scans here.
Let me know what to do next. Thanks again.
Jerry W.

Okay- it's amazing how many lost internet connections are due to settings! Whether it malware or user, glad you got yours fixed. Jerry, I will give you tips and security information when we have finished.

You will need to update and run Malwarebytes again, paying attention to the direction that says:
Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When a log comes back as yours did saying No Action Taken, it means that wasn't checked and what was found is still on the system.

To remove what Eset found:

Please download OTMovit by Old Timer and save to your desktop.
  • Double-click OTMoveIt3.exe to run it. (Vista users, please right click on OTMoveit3.exe and select "Run as an Administrator")
  • Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):
    Code:

    :Commands
    [purity]
    [emptytemp]
    [start explorer]
    [Reboot]
  • Return to OTMoveIt3, right click in the "Paste Instructions for Items to be Moved" window and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • A log of files and folders moved will be created in the c:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles folder in the form of Date and Time (mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log). Please open this log in Notepad and post its contents in your next reply.
  • Close OTMoveIt3
If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.
=============================
After you have finished running OTMoveIt, you will need to empty the Java Cache:
Control Panel> Java> Temporary Internet Files> Settings> Delete and Close.

You have a ton of junk running! I award you the prize for having the most unwanted Browser Helper Opjects (BH) and Toolbars. This is not a prize you want!

Please reopen HijackThis to 'do system scan only.'. Check each of the following, if found:

Please download ComboFix from Here and save to your Desktop.

  • [1]. Do NOT rename Combofix unless instructed.
    [2].Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
    [3].Close any open browsers.
    [4]. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts to run.
  • NOTE: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If it does not, restart your computer to restore your connection.
    [5]. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
    [6]. If Combofix asks you to update the program, always allow.
  • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
    [7]. A report will be generated after the scan. Please paste the C:\ComboFix.txt in next reply.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall.
Note: Make sure you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix..

There will be Registry entries showing up in the Combofix log from some of the entries I had you stop in HJT. I will remove them with script I'll have you run after the Combofix scan.
 
Bobbye,

Thought I would post this in case I were to lose it prior to completing the rest of your steps.
Will post again when I finish.
Thanks,
Jerry W.

Bobbye-
Ran the combofix. I see that several icons no longer appear in my tray at bottom of page. Just curious. Also, I've been using the mozilla to do all of this, didn't want to chance screwing up the IE. It has a small window that opens when you download anything and is displayed there for you to open it or move it . No option to move to desktop and clicking on it and dragging doesn't work. Haven't figured out how to move it to desktop. Some items appear there by themselves, avast, MBAM, McAfee, but this one didn't. Just wondering. If I need it again, guess I will just have to download and open again.Any way, I will attach the log file and wait to hear back from you. One other thing I just thought of, when you had me go to empty the recycle bin after uninstalling the toolbar in IE, there was nothing there. Also the vShare toolbar in Mozilla wasn't listed anywhere. Also, some of the items that you wanted me to check in the HijackThis scan list, were not there and the first two you listed are duplicated by the next two on the list. Just wondering if there was something that got missed or???
As always, I appreciate your time and effort.
Jerry W.

It has a small window that opens when you download anything and is displayed there for you to open it or move it . No option to move to desktop and clicking on it and dragging doesn't work. Haven't figured out how to move it to desktop

I think others may benefit from this so I'm going to write it all out. It will help you understand one of the easiest -and most misunderstood- features of a browser

[center]Download Save Location[/center]

Each browser has a default download location. That means that anything you Save or Save As will automatically be saved to that location. The default location in Firefox is the desktop. If you want to save something to a different location, you choose Browse and choose the location.

Firefox Downloads: Tools> Main> Downloads>
  1. Check 'show download windows when downloading the file'>
  2. If wanted, check' close the windows when download has finished'>
  3. Save Files to> Desktop is in the box. If you want the file elsewhere, click on Browse and choose a different location>
  4. If wanted, check 'always ask me where to save files'

I do not have #2 & #4 checked because I want whatever I'm saving to go to the desktop first. If it's a setup to install a program, it's easy to double click on it on the desktop. If it's an attachment, saving to the desktop allows you to do a right click> scan with the AV first before opening it. If it's an image, I may need to set up a folder first, then move it to My Pictures.

Internet Explorer Download Directory
I think IE saves according to the file type. For instance, a .doc file would go to Word, a .jpeg file would go to My Pictures. This can be changed but requires a Registry Edit and I don't recommend that.

A file can be easily 'relocated' by doing a right click> Send To> Desktop to create a shortcut.

The scans that we run are saved to the desktop because:
  1. It's easy to find the setup to run the program.
  2. The program will be removed later so why place it elsewhere.
  3. Some programs, like Combofix and OTL have another step where you work with script code through the original program. So when you get the script to run, it's very easy to do the drop and drag because it's all on the desktop.

The reason the desktop is usually the default is because the user may not know first, if he is going to keep the Save and if so, where he want to keep it permanently. As far as I know, every Save As is set to go to the default location-or-or gives the browse option.

Please see next reply for your Combofix script.
 
That was probably more than you ever wanted to know about Save locations, but I guarantee it will make your computer life better!

About emptying the recycle bin> Sometimes there's nothing in it. Sometimes users have it set for deletes to bypass the Recycle Bin. And sometimes, the user throws a lot out but forgets to empty the trash. So I just tell everyone to empty it!

We'll check on the missing icons later. Most probably you turned off the security to run Combofix and that made the program inactive. There is a Properties setting for the Notification Area to 'Hide Inactive Icons.' Not to worry at this point!

You need to be sure and do regular maintenance on the system. There are 6 user accounts listed and Total Files Cleaned = 1,763.00 mb> that's a LOT of files!

And those files and folders you couldn't find> I can move entries with the script.

You have processes running for Trend Micro Security, McAfee and Avast. Confirm please that Trend Micro Security is the security you're using. I'll include the others in the script to remove and will have you uninstal later as you should only have 1 AV program and 1 firewall.

As soon as you do that, I will leave the script.
 
AV software

Hi Bobbye-

Thanks for the info on save/save as and the desktop. Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. Had two exams to study for/take for my classes, so didn't have time to check in.
TrendMicro is the AV that I had, but it expired shortly before this whole problem surfaced. The McAfee and the Avast are downloads used in some of your steps, that's why they are on here. This is also why on a previous post, I asked for your recommendation for what I should have for AV, Firewall and so on. Let me know where we go from here.
Hope things are great in Florida!
Thanks again-
Jerry W.
 
About the antivirus programs: Even if Trend Micro expired, you still have the program running. It just won't be updating. McAfee is not in any of our steps. If there is no AV running, we do recommend either Avast or Avira.

However, the Combofix header shows:
AV: Trend Micro Internet Security *On-access scanning disabled* (Updated) which was why I asked you con confirm that it was the AV.

Let's check the security:
Security Check

Download Security Check and save it to your Desktop.
  • Double-click SecurityCheck.exe to run.
  • Follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
  • A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post this log in your next reply.

Hopefully, now that I explained the Save location for you, you won't have a problem with this log..When I set up the script for you to run through Combofix, I remove left over entries. But Not unless I'm sure the program has been removed.

I told you that when we are finished, I will give recommendations to you to enhance your security and settings.
 
SecurityCheck log

Bobbye-
Good evening. Ran security check. Had no problem saving it to the desktop when downloaded. Here's the log.
Thanks again-
Jerry W.

The rule is: One Firewall: The rule is: One Antivirus:
Decide whether you want free standing programs for AV and FW, or a suite with both. Uninstall ALL of the others

Windows Firewall Enabled! FW
avast! Free Antivirus>> AV
ESET Online Scanner v3>> AV
Trend Micro Internet Security>> AV & FW
McAfee Security Scan Plus>> AV

You have outdated programs that either need to be updated or removed:
Java(TM) 6 Update 21>> update to current v6u22: Java Updates Uninstall any earlier versions in Add/Remove Programs .
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1>> uninstall in Add/Remove Programs
Adobe Reader 8.1.3>> update to v9.xx>> uninstall v8.1.3
Mozilla Firefox (3.6.10) >> update to the current v3.6.11: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.11/releasenotes/

After you finished getting the security program straight, reboot the computer. Multiple AV and FW makes the system more vulnerable, not less. IF you stop using a program or change to another one, you still have to uninstall the other and delete it's program folder. Let me know what you keep.
