    Regarding it disconnecting again. Since I ran AVG I dont think it has. But when I was setting up to run AVG last night it popped back up again after I sent you those files and after I deleted them from my hard drive. Went to the same location, everything was the same on it when it reappeared except the numbers at the end were different. I wasnt on long enough last night after I ran AVG to really tell if it was gone.

    Should be able to tell tonight.

    Thanks again for your help! :)

    Hi

    Thanks for those files. They were infected.
    A varient of Agent.AWF
    This trojan replaces programs that outostart with trojaned versions of itself, creates folders called "bak" in the folder where that program is and puts the good file in the "bak" folder.

    AVG already nuked some files so we'll replace them with the backups and replace the still infected ones.

    Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune and save it to your Desktop.

    http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1

    Do nothing with it yet.

    This file is intended for this user only! Each computer is different and will require a different fix!

    Copy the following text inside code box to a new notepad file
    Make sure "wordwrap" is off
    Save as file name fix.bat
    As file types: All files
    Save it to your desktop. Do nothing with it yet.

    Code:
    @ECHO OFF
    move /y C:\WINDOWS\bak\UpdReg.EXE C:\WINDOWS
    move /y  "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\bak\qttask.exe"  "C:\Program Files\QuickTime "
    move /y  "C:\Program Files\Internet History Eraser\bak\heraser.exe"  "C:\Program Files\Internet History Eraser "
    move /y  "C:\Program Files\dvd43\bak\dvd43_tray.exe"  "C:\Program Files\dvd43 "
    move /y  "C:\Program Files\Mercury Network Accelerator\bak\trayctl.exe"  "C:\Program Files\Mercury Network Accelerator "
    move /y  "C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\bak\realplay.exe"  "C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer "
    move /y  "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Software Update\bak\HPWuSchd2.exe"  "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Software Update "
    move /y  "C:\Program Files\Creative\SB Drive Det\bak\SBDrvDet.exe"  "C:\Program Files\Creative\SB Drive Det "

    move /y  "C:\Program Files\Creative\MediaSource\RemoteControl\bak\RCMan.EXE"  "C:\Program Files\Creative\MediaSource\RemoteControl "
    

    Download: ResetProtocolDefaults.reg to your desktop.
    http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/ResetProtocolDefaults.reg

    Do nothing with it yet.

    Download http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelDomains.inf and place it on desktop

    Do nothing with it yet.

    Boot to SAFE mode:

    [*]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, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;

    [*]Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.

    [*]Choose your usual account.

    Double click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
    Check the boxes to the left of:

    Windows Temp
    Current User Temp
    All Users Temp
    Temporary Internet Files
    Prefetch
    Java Cache
    Recycle bin

    The rest are optional - if you want to remove the lot, check "Select All ".
    Finally click Empty Selected. When you get the "Done Cleaning" message, click OK.

    If you use the Firefox or Opera browsers, you can use this program as a quick way to tidy those up as well.

    Locate DelDomains.inf, right click it and choose install
    You will see nothing happening cept the curser might go to hourglass a sec.
    This will delete any bad trusted domains.


    Locate ResetProtocolDefaults.reg
    Right click it, select merge, OK the prompt.
    This will reset default security zones for IE.

    Locate Fix.bat you created earlier and double click it.
    A "dos" box will flash up quick and dissapear.
    This is normal.

    Reboot back to normal mode and post both a new hijackthis log and a FindAWF log.

    I want to make sure the good files got moved over to origional locations before deleting the "bak" folders.

    Let me know how machine is running.

    Thanks

    Hi again,

    I forgot to add if you had IE-Spyad or SpywareBlaster installed these will need to be re-installed.

    Ok, my computer has been online for 5 hours now and the dialer has not fired. Dont want to jinx it, but I think it may be gone.

    I will be online alot tomorrow so that should tell for sure.

    I really appreciate all the help given! :)

    Hi,

    Glad to hear things are running well.
    Looks like the files that were in those bak folders were placed just fine. :)

    You can delete "fix.bat" (we're making a new one)

    Few items to fix with Hijackthis:

    Open Hijackthis
    Run system scan and check:

    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {487BEC95-89FF-B4B9-EE19-CF3344F20AD7} - C:\WINDOWS\syytupvq.dll (file missing)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8C2E4620-FFB9-3F53-6848-07C7762660C4} - C:\WINDOWS\syytupvq.dll (file missing)
    O3 - Toolbar: Search - {8F4D0BD6-AF72-747E-3904-08FCB4B8EAD6} - C:\WINDOWS\syytupvq.dll (file missing)
    O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} - http://207.188.7.150/048be75f0208809...p/RdxIE601.cab
    O18 - Filter: text/html - (no CLSID) - (no file)
    O20 - AppInit_DLLs:


    Close all open windows and click "fix checked ", then OK.

    You may get an error with the O20 line. Just OK the error. All is happening is HJT is trying to back up a non existant file.

    Exit Hijackthis and reboot.

    The following file is intended for this user only! Running this file on other systems may harm your PC!

    Copy the following text inside code box to a new notepad file.
    Save as file name fix2.bat
    As file types: All Files
    Save it to the desktop.

    Code:
    @echo off
    rd /s /q C:\WINDOWS\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\QUICKT~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\WASHER\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\MSNMES~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~2\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\DVD43\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\MERCUR~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\SYMANT~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\YAHOO!\MESSEN~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\REAL\REALPL~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\HP\HPSOFT~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBDRIV~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\SYMANT~1\SECURI~2\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\AHEAD\LIB\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBAUDI~1\SURROU~1\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBAUDI~1\DVDAUDIO\BAK
    rd /s /q C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\MEDIAS~1\REMOTE~1\BAK
    
    
    Once saved, double click it and let it run.
    A "dos" box will flash up quick & close. This is normal.
    That just deletes the now empty "bak" folders.

    Re-run Hijackthis scan again and post the new log please.
    Run FindAWF again and post the log please.

    Let me know if still OK.

    Thanks :)

    Hi,

    Looking pretty good.
    Almost there I think.

    Start Hijackthis
    Run system scan and check:

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8C2E4620-FFB9-3F53-6848-07C7762660C4} - C:\WINDOWS\syytupvq.dll (file missing)

    Close all open windows except Hijackthis and click "fix checked ", then OK.

    Rescan & save log.

    Post log.

    Still no dialer popups?

    Thanks :)

    Hi,

    Good to hear.

    Can you open Text files in notepad now or do they still open in Magix?

    You can delete the tools we used:

    WinPFind3u
    HJTSetup.exe
    FindAWF.exe
    Fix.bat
    Fix2.bat
    REsetProtocolDefaults.reg
    DelDomains.inf

    You can go back and hide system files again.

    Open Folder options in control panel.
    Click view tab
    Check:

    "hide protected operating system files and folders "
    "do not show hidden files or folders "

    I would leave "hide file extensions for known file types" UNchecked.

    After a few reboots and checking to see that all is well; it is highly recommended to reset your system restore to remove any possible backed up infected files there.

    Right click "my computer "
    Click "properties "
    Click "system restore" tab
    Checkmark "turn off system restore "
    Hit apply> ok> ok.

    Reboot

    Go back and turn system restore back on by removing the check, hit apply, and OK.

    A new restore point is created at this time.
    You will not be able to restore computer to any earlier than today.

    ------------------------

    You are really behind on XP updates.
    XP is now at Service Pack 2
    Without these updates you leave yourself wide open to a ton of exploits.
    Besides....there is little MS support any more for pre-SP2 systems.
    I do suggest updating to SP2 ASAP!

    There will be several updates after SP2. Get all the criticals.

    It appears you are not running a firewall. Windows XP has its own but it does not monitor OUTgoing traffic and whatever malware slips by your antivirus can call home all it wants. Pre SP2 XP does not have its firewall turned on by default.
    A 3rd party firewall you can control outgoing traffic much better.

    If installing a 3rd party firewall do make sure XP one is off or else it will conflict.

    Couple choices for free firewalls if you don't want to pay for one. Either one is good:
    The Sunbelt one is "pro" for 30 days then a few extra features are disabled.

    Comodo:

    http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

    Sunbelt kerio:

    http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm

    Pick/install only one.

    Understanding and using firewalls:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial60.html

    --->> Your AVG will still continue to work after the 30 day trial is up.
    What you do loose is the background protection and automatic updates.

    You can still update manually and run scans to clean up malware.

    I do suggest you keep this program.


    Other added prevention/protections:

    Spywareblaster <--this prog blocks known bad active x controls, many tracking cookies and puts more sites in restricted zone.
    Install> update> enable all protection.
    Updates are about once a month and is free.

    --->> Using a hosts file will greatly increase security. Many of those flashy annoying ads on websites will not display and it blocks access to thousands of sites entirely.

    Info and how to install:

    http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

    --->> Remember to keep your antivirus up to date.

    --->> Install an alternative browser for day to day surfing.
    These 2 are free and have alot less security issues than IE:

    Opera Browser

    FireFox Browser

    Since the HJT log is clean, here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

    Go get those XP updates!

    Take care & surf safe!

    Thanks for all the help Blender, I really appreciate it! :)

    I'm downloading one of the firewall programs you suggested now.

    Everything appears to be working fine. The only minor thing I have noticed is that on Myspace pages the audio flash player will not work. It puts a box in there that says I have javascript off or I dont have the latest flash player. I actually have both. Its not a big deal and I can live without it. It may not have anything to do with what we did here, but prior to this problem it worked fine. Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    If this is since you installed firewall check its options to see if Java and/or flash isn't blocked totally.

    Do both blocks on this page say "installation complete "?

    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

    How about this one?:

    http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

    "Verify installation" work?

    If no dice, see if you can uninstall flash & re-install.
    Same with Java.

    Let me know if problems to uninstall.



    Thanks :)

    Hi Blender,

    Yes, it says installation comlete on the player and it says I have the latest version of Java already.

    Maybe its a Myspace problem, now that wouldn't shock me.

    Thanks again for your help. I dialer seems to be gone. :)
