Jon,

Let's see what we can do...



Now, let's open a command prompt and unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

regsvr32 /u Ceres.dll

It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save on the typing.



Run HiJackThis and click " Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: CeresObj Class - {00000049-8F91-4D9C-9573-F016E7626484} - C:\WINNT\Ceres.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [farmmext] C:\WINNT\farmmext.exe

O9 - Extra button: Corel Network monitor worker - {0828D989-514B-4FB0-B4D3-DB651AC38828} - C:\WINNT\system32\intlmain.dll
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Corel Network monitor worker - {0828D989-514B-4FB0-B4D3-DB651AC38828} - C:\WINNT\system32\intlmain.dll
O9 - Extra button: Corel Network monitor worker - {0828D989-514B-4FB0-B4D3-DB651AC38828} - C:\WINNT\system32\intlmain.dll (HKCU)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Corel Network monitor worker - {0828D989-514B-4FB0-B4D3-DB651AC38828} - C:\WINNT\system32\intlmain.dll (HKCU)


Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click " Fix checked".



Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINNT\Ceres.dll
C:\WINNT\farmmext.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\intlmain.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're ' in use', try deleting them from " Safe Mode".



Go to www.kaspersky.com, then:

1. Click " Online virus scanner"
2. Click " Browse", then browse to, then doubleclick on the following file(s), one at a time:

C:\WINNT\etlisrv.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\r_server.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\etlitr50.exe

3. Click " Submit"
4. Post back the results.



Mike.

Thanks Mike. First off, those last three files you had me check are all clean - I know what they are anyway...

Ceres seems to be a nasty little bugger that won't leave quietly, but here's my most recent HiJackThis logfile:

If Ceres comes back, I'll probably post another reply here.

 

Thanks again for your help

Seems like Ceres and farmmext don't want to leave. Are they any other methods?

Also, whenever I reboot some program puts a new icon onto my desktop and into the Startmenu caled S*xxx (you know what the * is for - it won't let me post that word). When I go to its properties on the desktop, here's the target:
"C:\Program Files\WebSiteViewer\127036.exe" /ac:127036 /sk: /lc: /ul"

Sorry I'm being such a nuisance, hope you can help!

Jon,

Let's try this, then post back the results from MWAV and let me see what it turns up. Also check the 'prefetch' folder for anything resembling what we've been fixing (they'll have a bunch of numbers and other letters stuck on the them, but the base file name will remain constant.



Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click " Config..."
2. Click " Misc Tools"
3. Click " Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate ( if present) and click on ( highlight) each of the following:

C:\Program Files\WebSiteViewer\127036.dlr

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click " Kill process". Now, click " Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.



Now, let's open a command prompt and unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

regsvr32 /u Ceres.dll

It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save on the typing.




Before we begin, let's move HiJackThis to it's own folder; like c:\HJT. When we're done ' cleaning' off your system, we're going to ' flush' the temporary folders which, with HiJackThis in it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later.

Also move the " Backups" folder, for HiJackThis, if present.



Run HiJackThis and click " Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: CeresObj Class - {00000049-8F91-4D9C-9573-F016E7626484} - C:\WINNT\Ceres.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MsnExplorer] C:\WINNT\shch.exe /i
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [farmmext] C:\WINNT\farmmext.exe


Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click " Fix checked".



Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINNT\Ceres.dll
C:\WINNT\shch.exe
C:\WINNT\farmmext.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're ' in use', try deleting them from " Safe Mode".



Download mwav.exe from MicroWorld, then:

1. Double-click the mwav.exe icon to run it ( it'll self extract).
2. Click " Scan".
3. When it completes, post back the results from the 'Virus log information' pane.



Mike.

Jon,

Yes it is! Maybe AdAware SE can get rid of it, since it's a VX2 variant.

-

Let me know how it does.



If you don't already have it, let's go to Lavasoft's VX2 Cleaner web-page, and follow the instructions to download and install the utility.

-

Next, run AdAware SE Personal, then:

1. Click " Add-Ons".
2. Double-click " VX2 Cleaner"
3. Click " Ok", to " Execute this tool".
4. If nothing is found, click " Ok", then exit the program.

(or)

4. If VX2 has been found on your system, click " Clean System"
5. Then when it's complelely done, reboot your computer.
6. Repeat steps 1-4 again.

Be sure to follow any instructions it might give while using it.



Mike.

March 6th, 2005 17:00

Hey Mike. Unfortunately, VX2 didn't find anything. I'm just wondering, do you think the other files that start with "gdi" might be the catalysts, or is "gdiwren" mimicking a regular "gdi" filename?

Here are all the files with gdi in them:

Folder: C:\WINNT\$NtServicePackUninstall$
File: gdi32.dll

Folder: C:\WINNT\$NtUninstallKB824141$
File: gdi32.dll

Folder: C:\WINNT\$NtUninstallKB835732$
File: gdi32.dll

Folder: C:\WINNT\$NtUninstallKB840987$
File: gdi32.dll

Folder: C:\WINNT\$NtUninstallKB841533$
File: gdi32.dll

Folder: C:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386
File: gdi32.dll

Folder: C:\WINNT\system32
File: GDI32.DLL

Folder: C:\WINNT\system32
File: gdi.exe

 

Hope this may be of some help, and thanks again,

Jon

Jon,

Your welcome! - This one's proving to be a real challenge.

-

I'm not sure on that; those look like legit files to me. GOOGLE doesn't show anything out of the ordinary and MWAV psssed over them (unlike the other file), so there must be something else on there that i've miseed.

Let's me see a fresh log and i'll start back from there.

Jon,

Let's see if this can remove the problem...



* First, download HSFix from here.
* After it is downloaded, create a new folder on your desktop called "HSFix" and extract all the files into the newly created folder.
* Next, download Cleanup!, and Install it, but do not run it yet.

* Boot into safe mode: Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.

* Locate the HSFix folder on your desktop, open it, and double-click "hsfix.bat"
* A log will be produced which you can close out of.

* Run CleanUp! and let it clean your computer of temp files. Decline when it asks you to log off.

* Restart your computer into normal mode and run at least one of the following free, online virus scans:
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/co...n_principal.htm
http://www3.ca.com/threatinfo/virusinfo/scan.aspx

* Restart your computer one last time and post a new HijackThis log, as well as the HSFix log which is located at C:/hslog.txt
