Hello, I am a complete newbie when it comes to windows as I have come from a MAC environment.

I unfortunately have the Antivermin virus / adware problem. Before I new about following the proper procedure for removal I manually put whatever I could find in Program Files called Antivermin in the trash. Needless to say it has left other things behind which Ad-Aware has yet to remove fully. I have downloaded the latest definitions for Adware SE and removed what it found.

My toolbar (icons on the bottom next to the clock) has a flashing system alert icon which alternates with ablue support and help question mark ,,, then every couple minutes a system alert ballon pop up occurs which informs me of various viruses/spyware/trojans... then clicking the ballon will redirect me to a website ((( fasle positive ))).... which offers the solution for $$.

Also my IE 7 browser now has additional toolbar icons such as: protection bar, remove adware and popups, scan for spyware, spam protection, security test ----> ALL of which I am certain are more false positive sites asking for money to download their software. (I would like these removed too)))

ALso every time I launch IE my homepage redirects itself to another website which offers more false positive solutions... UUGGG (how do I fix this too)


I downloaded the HIJACK software and the following is my log....
PLEASE help
thank you so much for your attention

Let us know if any problems persist.

thank you for your advice, I will try what you have posted....

Last night when shutting down it also said,,, could not initialize .... isamonitor.exe
I searched for that file and it is in the video active x folder in program files --- could not drag to trash cuz is currently being used by a program.

I hope doing the previous will help this to..

SO I REbooted in Safe Mode

It displayed an old looking version of XP. I tried to do a search for smitRem -- did not find anything...

I have no idea what smitRem or RunThis.bat is or where they are ???

thanks

Did you downloaded smitrem on your desktop? And did you logged in on your account?

NO I did not download smitrem.... DID not know I needed to do that, since that step was not part of the previous instruction.

Do I also download RunThis.bat ????

are there links for these programs ?

Thank you

PS, I did log in to my account while in Safe mode

Please read my posts carefully or you'll mess up things.

I'm sorry I do apologize... I must only be able to see in color not B&W ;-)

I indicate each step with an * asterick.

So I'm still running a scan with Panda, this one takes a long time...

I have noticed since running AVG in safe mode, and ATF my Norton auto protect virus has been turned off, and Norton is advising that Browsing is not safe. Norton tried to fix the problem by downloading the latest updates, but for some reason the turn on check wont stay turned on.

ok... MY Norton has fixed itself.

But it takes an unusually long time for BOOT UP, plus the desktop icons don't all load properly right away either.

Here are the following logs...

The system alert is still causing problems in the taskbar by the clock ( alternating icon of a computer graphic with red question mark AND the standard blue support and help question mark )))

thank you

Any thoughts ? Did I do this right ? Cuz I still have probs with ALERTS, and system boot up speed is slllloooowwwww..... (maybe cuz of ad warae, avg, norton etc being all installed at once ) OR maybe their is still more spyware or keyloggers ????

Do I need to uncheck the hide system folders before I perform a hijack as well ?

help

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.


Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc...processutil.htm

I am also having the same problem and have followed your directions above. Below are the reports that were generated (there was no report generated when I ran the AVG Antispyware):

You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
• Choose your usual account.

Once in Safe Mode, double-click on SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.
A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply with a new hijackthis log.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

Download roguescanfix_setup.

Doubleclick roguescanfix_setup to install it.

After the installation, you will be prompted if you would like to run roguescanfix now. Click "YES" to start the tool.

When you start roguescanfix.bat you'll see a menu:
1. Run Roguescanfix
2. Run sharedtasksrem

Choose option 1 by typing "1".

Note: This tool needs internet connection because it downloads an additional file to let the tool work properly.
If your firewall gives an alert, allow it instead of blocking it.
In case you still get the message BFU.exe is not present, download BFU.zip from here.
Unzip it and place BFU.exe in the c:\program files\roguescanfix-folder. Then doubleclick Roguescanfix.bat again.

The tool will uninstall some programs and delete related files and registrykeys.
When some files won't get deleted, it will ask you to reboot your system to delete the files after reboot.
Please make sure the uninstall of the programs are finished before you click Yes to reboot.

A textfile wil open. Place the contents of that file in your next reply, along with a new Hijackthis logfile.
(The textfile can also be found at c:\program files\roguescanfix\task.txt)

after rebooting this notice appeared on the desktop:

hpqthb08.exe application failed to initalize properly ( 0xc0000135) click OK to terminate APP

I pressed Ok

...... my computer seems to be booting up a bit quicker but the alert is still down in the notification area.

here are the logs:

thanks again for your attention.

MY NORTON JUST FOUND THESE HIGH RISK DOWNLOADER FILES (TROJANS) and wants me to restart

NOrton also said it resolved these issues... I have to restart before I perform option 2

Ok, can I see a new hijackthis log with a report of roguescanfix made with option #1?

hpqthb08.exe application fError

ailed to initalize properly ( 0xc0000135) click OK to terminate APP


the above Appeared upon rebooting again ......
I pressed OK


Well, I haven't run roguescanfix with option 2 yet, THE notification error is gone FINALLY....

Should I still run The roguescan ??? Perhaps NORTON fixed it ???

what is the message that appears on boot up ??

hijack log after having run rogue with option 1 / and / the norton resolving the dowload trojan etc...
no rogue with option 2 perform yet... ::::

I'm not sure how to reinstall HP IMAGEZONE, my computer (HP) came new with everything preinstalled -- the only back up disks I have are two Recovery CD's I made when I first turned on my computer ( right after computer purchase )

Can I do the rest of what you said to do before having to install the HP image Zone ?

Yes you can. Look on the recovery cd if you can find something from HP.

I downloaded the JAVA (12.6Mb) to my desktop but it is only 1.15kb

I wanted to make sure this was the proper file before deleting my JAVA in (remove programs) as that program is at least 150 MB

Did you choosed the offline installation?

Figured it out..

After checking the box to download the (12.6mb) file I clicked the orange box to download instead of just clicking the underlined link next to the check box....

* OK reinstalled the new JAva runtime environment 6

it is only 100mb instead of the older version which was 150mb (this seem odd to me )

- after my desktop background loads, some of the desktop icons load (their graphic) while other are just pictures of a generic file (with the top right hand corner curled down ) graphic..... after everthing finishes booting up all of the desktop icons eventually display properly.... IS THIS NORMAL ?

- Still getting the hp application error on bootup ( have yet to source that -- not really sure either, but will look later )

*** I recall vaguely reading some other posts on this site which suggested after all was well and done, that reset recovery points or something like that need to be reset, or all of the problems which were fixed might reoccur..... THoughts ???????????


thanks for your attention.
PS. noticed in your profile your BDay is on the same day as mine.

That's only for when you have infection restore points...


As I said, try the recovery disk and see if there's anything from HP.
Otherwise go to start==>run==>type: msconfig en press enter.
Go to tab 'startup' and uncheck:
hpqthb08.exe

After that, clikc on 'applt' and 'ok' and reboot your system.


Yes, otherwise try this:

* Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

Also perform a disk defragmentation.

I tried using the misconfig utility - which did not fix it,,

I'm trying to understand the help and support in my computer ...

I typed Reinstall HP Image zone, Recover, Restore....

I have no clue what I am doing or what the difference between any of these are

Do you still get the same error? Can I get a screenshot of it?

after I tried the misconfig... (unchecking the line that had the particular hpqthb08.exe .....)

then rebooted a window came up on restart saying this:::

You have used the System Config Utility to make changes to the way Windows starts. The system Config Utility is currently in Diagnositic or Selective Startup mode, causing this message to be displayed and the utility to run every time Windows starts. Choose normal startup mode with General tab to start windows normally and undo the changes you made using the system configuration utility.

...sorry I didn't know how to do a screenshot then ... so I just wrote it down,

I did what it said (clicked normal) then rebooted....

then the hpqthb08.exe came up again.

I put the first of two recover cd's in, but their is no UI application .... so it's all greek to me.
Unless their is a recover / restore (not sure which ) program on my computer that I use to interpret the cd's

I also have a recover partition on my HD (10Gb) not sure how to use that either.

You can check a box beneat the text to not show the text again on every reboot. Can you post me a new hijackthis log?

but if I check that box, will my HP image zone program still work ?

Yes I think, otherwise you can check it again and it will boot up again with windows.

In addition:

I don't know anything (obvious) about interpretting the HIjack log, but do I still need line 016 (panada software) --- can I uninstall this now... ?

also the 016 viruto tools 9not sure about this one either

It doesn't harm, it's used for the online scan with panda.


It's legit so is doesn't harm.

ok
so I redid the misconf, unchecked the hp..., and check the do not appear box....

upon reboot no message boxes appeared - good

but when I double clicked on my HP Photosmart Premier (guess this is related to HP IMAGE ZONE )
it failed to open and the window with the : hpqthb08.exe application error failed to init.... appeared

I rebooted with disc 1 of the recovery cd in, and it gave me the option ot recover... so I went through it until I found out that in order to recover - it recovers back to factory installation, and all my programs would be lost and I would have to reinstall everything....

not wanting to do that if I can avoid it...

You have to re-enable it in msconfig..

Do you still get the error message when it's enabled?

yes

And the other CD?

so were back to the error message

I went back into msconfig

rechecked the hpqthb08..... box then rebooted
the message appears and PHOtosmart shortcut gives the same error


I'll try booting up off the second cd (DVD actually ) my gut feeling is that not everything could fit onto one DVD so the second dvd is probally similar to the first......... but I'll try

Hmm maybe you should ask for help in the software forum because I haven't much idea's left.
