    Hi, I got that Broadcaster virus recently and followed the advice of another thread which was instructing people to use that Vundo Fix, so that's what I did, now I've got a RUN DLL error on startup.

    Here is my HijackThis Log, I hope someone can help:

    Hello and welcome to WindowsBBS Forums.

    Sorry for the delay in a reply.

    If you would, please post the Vundo Fix log file.

    Also, please do not run any more tools\scans unless asked. The Broadcaster infection is not limited to having Vundo, it is an entirely different infection.p

    We need to disable your Windows Defender Real-time Protection as it may interfere with the fixes that we need to make.
    • Open Windows Defender.
    • Click on Tools, General Settings.
    • Scroll down and uncheck Turn on real-time protection (recommended).
    • After you uncheck this, click on the Save button and close Windows Defender.
    After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you re-enable Real-time Protection again.


    Download the Killbox from here and save it to the desktop.
    • Double-click the KillBox icon on your desktop to open it
    • Select "Delete on Reboot "
    • Then select "All files ".
    Copy the file names below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing Control-C:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\odmxonux.dll

    Return to Killbox
    • Go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard ".
    • Click the red-and-white [Delete File] button.
    • Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "No" at the 'Pending Operations' prompt.

    Do not allow a reboot yet.

    Open Hijackthis, select the [Do a system scan only] button and look over the following entries I have listed, check the boxes [] next to them and press the [Fix Checked] button. When you are doing this, make sure you have No IE windows, nor any other browsers open, including this one. Reboot if I have specified below, and post a fresh HijackThis log.

    Thanks.

    Ok, seeing as everything appears to working properly, we'll conclude with some minor steps and our recommendations.

    Don't forget to enable Windows Defender.

    Empty the TIF (Temporary Internet Files)
    Delete all the files in (and any subfolders of) the C:\Windows\Temp folder
    The app below will help with temp files.
    Index.dat Suite

    Also, delete all your cookies, and empty your recycle bin. But remember, by deleting your cookies, you will have to re-enter any passwords and log-in info for any sites you are usually required to do so with.

    This would also be a good time to set a new system restore point for your machine.
    Set New System Restore Point. Do not do this unless there are no other user accounts to be diagnosed.

    Now that you have regained control of your machine, lets keep it clean. Please follow the links below to ensure the highest possible level of protection against any further invasions. The links and the apps are some of the most highly regarded apps in the field of security/protection & detection. Run AdAware & Spybot at least once a week, depending on your surfing habits.
    Spybot Search & Destroy v1.4
    Ad-Aware SE Free v1.06r

    With AdAware and Spybot: DL, install then check for updates, then scan, repair/remove/quarantine anything found. Reboot before next scan with whichever app is next.

    SpywareBlaster will prevent known ActiveX installs, by setting killbits into the registry.
    With Spyware Blaster, just DL, check for updates, enable Internet Explorer protection, and your done! I don't recommend using 'Restricted Sites' protection in SpywareBlaster nor the 'Immunize' feature in Spybot, you can get far greater coverage with IE-SPYADs, listed below.

    To avoid known malware infested sites from loading in IE install IE-SPY ADS.
    And MVPS Hosts File will provide another layer of protection.

    And to prevent unknown applications from being installed on your machine install WinPatrol 2007 v11.2.2007.

    Another thing I would suggest, is to install SiteAdvisor. It gives sites a few different 'ratings' and while not fool proof, a good additional layer of information about many sites.

    Tutorials for all can be found on my site as well.
