Hello and welcome back(?)

You have a Wareout infection please take the following steps to remove it.

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Once the desktop loads please post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log.

 

Thanks again, dont know what I'd do without this help

Here is fixwarout log:

OK lets finish this off now.

Run Hijackthis and look over the following entries I have listed, check the boxes next to them and press the "Fix Checked" button with HijackThis. When you are doing this, make sure you have No IE windows, or other browsers open, including this one. Reboot if I have specified below, and post a fresh HijackThis log.

Reboot, into safe mode, this way:
Turn on the computer
Immediately begin tapping the <F8> key.
Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode and press the <Enter> key.

Also, enable the 'Show Hidden Folders' option, like this:
Click Start.
Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.

And search for, then delete, if found, (some may not be present after previous steps) the following files/folders:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DMLVW.EXE <<<--this file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DMJLB.EXE <<<--this file
ALCXMNTR.EXE<<<--this file
panel_its.exe<<<--this file


To exit Safe Mode, click the Start button, click Turn Off Computer, click Restart.

Post a new HJT log back into this thread please.

Also, unless specified, please provide HJT log file generated in 'Normal Mode', thanks.

 

Deleted all instances I could find including from the recycle bin. Asuuming all is good thanks again for your help.

OK, that log appears clear of any odd items.

Is the machine running OK? Let me know please.

I'd also like to run a precautionary scan, seeing how Wareout like to drop a rootkit evry now and again, which won't show in HJT, but does produce some symptoms.

Please download RootKitRevealer from here:
http://www.sysinternals.com/files/rootkitrevealer.zip
Unzip it to the desktop, run it, and click Scan. This will generate a log file; please post the entire contents of the log file here for me to see.

All of those are either in the AVG vault or in system restore and are of no consequence.

Is your machine now running smoothly with no other problems?

If so, we can now reset system restore.

You must be logged in as an Administrator to do this. If you are not logged in as an Administrator, the System Restore tab will not be displayed.
Turning off System Restore will clear out all previous restore points.

To turn off Windows XP System Restore:

NOTE: These instructions assume that you are using the default Windows XP Start Menu and have not changed to the Classic Start menu. To re-enable the default menu, right-click Start, click Properties, click Start menu (not Classic) and then click OK.

• 1. Click Start.
  2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the System Restore tab.
  4. Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" as shown in this illustration:
  5. Click Apply.
  6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Restart the computer and follow the instructions in the next section to turn on System Restore.

To turn on Windows XP System Restore:

• 1. Click Start.
  2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the System Restore tab.
  4. Uncheck "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives. "
  5. Click Apply, and then click OK

 

PC froze when restarting with recovery off, had to power off but restarted without any problems and all seems to be running ok now. Thanks again.

 

It appears I missed one file in your RKR log:
C:\WINDOWS\ye2.exe <<<--this one

Can you please search for it and delete it, let me know if it deletes ok, apologies for that.

 

AVG picked up Ye2.exe when RKR was running and killed it. I did another search and there was no sign of it. All seems ok now. Thanks

 

OK, glad that was picked up and killed before things got out of hand, guess I got lucky. <PHEW>

To further prevent the installation of ad/mal/spyware, DL these apps below, which are just as good the fight against ad/mal/spyware as AdAware & Spybot S&D:

SpywareBlaster
With SpywareBlaster v3.5.1 , just DL, install and check for updates, enable protection Internet Explorer protection, and your done! I don't recommend using IE restricted sites protection as it's not a very large database. Use IE-SPYADs below.

To avoid known malware infested sites from loading in IE install IESPY ADS.
And MVPS Hosts File will accomplish a similar tactic and provide another layer of protection.

And to prevent unknown applications from being inserted to start up on your machine install WinPatrol v9.8.1.0.

Links for tutorials for all the apps I mentioned can be found on my site as well.

Confused about which apps are good or not? Read about Rogue/Approved Anti Security apps

And just because you have security apps installed, they are useless unless updated regularly. Keep track of updates for ALL your security needs here:
