    I am wondering if someone is able to help me...
    I have found that some sort of spyware has infiltrated my computer and now has caused my search engines to redirect search results, specifically in Google when in IE 7.0 (the same problem does NOT occur (yet) when I use Google with Mozilla Firefox). There does not seem to be one specific redirection, but a host of them including sending my search result links instead to:Toseeka, BTcars, Up-search, webfinder360, etc.

    I have run all spyware hunters that I have, (Spyhunter, SpySweeper, AVG AntiSpyware, Windows Defender), and I have run ccleaner, and still no solution. I recently was able to remove an incursion by VirusBursters and it has not popped back up, but I am wondering if this little trick is a holdover effect.

    At this point, I cannot even determine what virus / spyware / adware / bot is in there because nothing is being identified in the sweeps.

    I am posting my HijackThis log and hope that someone may have an idea...

    Hello and welcome to WindowsBBS Forums.

    Alot of those SmithFraud\Zlob infection, such as the VirusBurster come with extras that alot of regular scanners may miss.

    The 017 entries point to a possible lurking file.

    Lets get an anti-spyware scan, an online scan and a file search tool working to see what is found.


    Download AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 formerly Ewido Anti-Spyware from HERE and save that file to your desktop.
    This is a 30 day trial of the program
    • Once you have downloaded ewido anti-spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
    • Once the setup is complete you will need run ewido and update the definition files.
    • On the main screen select the icon "Update" then select the "Update now" link.
    • Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
    • Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
    • Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine ".
    • Under "Reports "
    • Select "Automatically generate report after every scan "
    • Un-Select "Only if threats were found "
    Close ewido anti-spyware, Do Not run a scan just yet, we will shortly.

    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.
    IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while ewido is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning process.

    Launch ewido-anti-spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
    • Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan ".
    • ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
      Once the scan is complete do the following:
    • If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions "
    • Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
    • Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
    • Close ewido and reboot your system back into Normal Mode and post the results of the ewido report scan.([SIZE= "2"]Please edit out any cookie, Recyler and System Volume Information Folder references from the log[/SIZE])


    Go to this page, Panda ActiveScan
    • Click the 'Scan your PC' button. ( You may have to disable any pop up blockers)
    • Then press the green 'Check Now' button.
    • Enter your country and state along with a valid email address.
    • Allow the ActiveX install, it may be a few minutes for all components. (For XP SP 2 watch for the yellow bar at the top of IE)
    • Once installation is complete you will need to select a device to scan. Please select 'My Computer' and the scan will begin.
    • Once the scan is done, click the 'See report' button, then the 'save report' button. Be sure to save the log file created in a place easy for you to find.

    Please download SilentRunners from here

    Unzip it to the desktop and double-click on it. If you get any kind of warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run. When the scan is finished, a message will pop up and a logfile will have been created on the desktop.

    Please post the entire contents of this logfile created back into this thread for me to see.

    I guess I need to figure out a way to make this bit of info more noticable...any suggestions?:p

    Anyway, nothing of suspicious nature in either the Panda scan or AVG. However, the Silent Runner scan did in fact pick something up which needs removal.

    So lets attack that and see how we fare.


    Please read ALL instructions carefully BEFORE proceeding.


    Please go to Add/Remove, and if found, uninstall the following:
    Enigma Software
    Spyware Nuker


    You can read about this company here and here. Yes the info is a bit old, but history tells us these types of companies rarely if ever change their colors.


    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\kdcvs.exe

    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.
    Do not reboot yet.


    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 the system, let me know if you're experiencing any problems and provide me a fresh HJT log file please.

    Solved!!

    TeMerc,

    That seemed to do it...

    BTW Sorry about the posting of the logs in my previous two posts. I started to weed it out then forgot it.

    Here is the last HJT Log.

    Lastly, What is causing this? I think the problems popped up with the installation of IE 7.0, but it could be coincidence.
    I am an attorney and I want to help grap these bastards by the groin and sue them silly. The man hours I have lost alone just for the two hour scans for the AVG and Panda is enough for any monetary damage!! Any idea who this is?
    Enough of my rantings, here is the HJT

    That IP range which was in the 017 lines are the gang who host most of the malware crime rings. Because they are an off shore type of company, in a countr which has higher priorities, it's a long shot they will ever be taken down.

    There are some fairly powerful groups who are always working to try, FBI and others included.

    Their info is here:
    http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=85.255.112.92

    It's a never ending battle.

    It's also unlikely this happened due to IE 7 install, just coincidental.

    Your logs appear clear, and you're saying things appear to be back to normal, so thats a good thing, nice job.

    I notice you have alot of stuff running in the back ground. You may want to trim some of that stuff to gain a tick in some performance with your box.

    Here is an excellent site for that:
    AnswersThatWork
    Just go to the appropriate letter, and search for the process/exe, they will give good detailed info regarding it, we use it quite often. If you can't find it there, then use Google.

    We have 3 more things to do, mostly maintenance and then our recommendations:

    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.

    Also, as you are an XP user, if there are any other accounts on this machine, they too, must be cleaned with AdAware, Spybot S&D, then HJT. Not all infections are global, nor are all the HJT fixes global. You can post each user account here into this thread, but please, do only one at a time to avoid confusion.

    Here is a link which describes how security apps work with WIN XP machines.
    XP User Accts Security Apps Operation

    To further prevent the installation of ad/mal/spyware, DL the 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 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 v10.0.5.

    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.

    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:
    Calendar of Updates

    Subscribe to update alerts for all the above security apps here.

    You can also see my own ongoing security testing with all the above apps proving how securely you can safe with them installed.
