Welcome. Thank you for using Dell Community Forums.
I am reviewing your log.
In the meantime, you can help me by doing the following:

* Have you have posted this issue on another forum? If so, please provide a link to the topic.

* If you are using any cracked software, please remove it.
Definition of cracked software:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking

* If you are using any P2P (file sharing) programs, please remove them before we clean your computer. That includes torrents.
The nature of such software and the high incidence of malware in files downloaded with them is counter productive to restoring your PC to a healthy state. If you have music files in those programs' folders that you want to save, please move those music files to another directory.
A list of P2P's is here: http://www.castlecops.com/t204179-P2P_programs_we_ask_that_you_remove_first.html


* If this computer belongs to someone else, do you have authority to apply the fixes we will use?

* Have you already fixed entries using HijackThis? If so, please restore all the backups and then post another log.

* After we begin working, please print or copy all instructions to Notepad in order to assist you when carrying out procedures.
Please follow all instructions in sequence. Do not, on your own, install/re-install any programs or run any fixes or scanners that you have not been instructed to use because this may cause conflicts with the tools that I am using.

* During the course of our cleanup please do not do any online work or surfing until we have verified that your system is clean.

* We may be using some specialized tools during our fix. Certain embedded files that are part of legitimate programs or specialized fix tools such as process.exe, restart.exe, SmiUpdate.exe, reboot.exe, ws2fix.exe, prcviewer.exe and nircmd.exe may at times be detected by some anti-virus/anti-malware scanners as a "RiskTool", "Hacking tool", "Potentially unwanted tool", or even "malware (virus/trojan)" when that is not the case.
Such programs have legitimate uses in contexts where an authorized user or administrator has knowingly installed it. These detections do not necessarily mean the file is malware or a bad program. It means it has the potential for being misused by others. Anti-virus scanners cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert you or even automatically remove them.

* If your replies do not fit in one post while we are handling your issue, please reply to yourself until all text is submitted. It may take several posts.

I look forward to your reply.

Instructions posted for this user are customized for this user only. The tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections. If you think you have similar problems, please post a HijackThis log at the top of this board to start a new forum topic.

I have not posted this on another forum nor have I made any changes/corrections using Hijack This. I am the ownwe/user of this computer. How long will the cleanup take?

I don't know how long this will take. It depends on how much malware we find that still has to be cleaned after the general scanner has been run.

Right click the running icon of Spybot's TeaTimer, and choose Exit SpyBot S&D - Resident'
While both Teatimer and SpyBot are closed:
Download ResetTeaTimer.bat to remove all entries set by TeaTimer (and preventing TeaTimer from restoring them upon reactivation).

http://downloads.subratam.org/ResetTeaTimer.bat


Right click and save link as
Save it as resetteatimer.bat
Save it to your Desktop

1) Run Spybot-S&D
2) Go to the Mode menu, and make sure "Advanced Mode" is selected
3) On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
4) Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts
5) Restart your computer.

Double click on resetteatimer.bat and wait for it to finish

Since it will not be needed again, delete ResetTeaTimer.bat after you run it.
When we are COMPLETELY finished with ALL your fixes, you can turn Teatimer back on again via SpyBot's tools resident page.



Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here or Here
  • Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
  • Double-click on Download_mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  • When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
  • When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Then click Finish.
    • MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
    • If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.
    • On the Scanner tab:
      • Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
      • Then click on the Scan button.
      • The next screen will ask you to select the drives to scan. Leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
      • The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
      • When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
      • Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
      • Back at the main Scanner screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
      • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
      • When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart your computer. :(see Note below)
      • The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
      • Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.
      • Please include a fresh HijackThis log as well.
        Notes:

        **If you encounter this message:"c:\program files\malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll Unable to register the dll/ocx: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x5" Click on ignore mbamext.dll

        **If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

      You may have felt that everything is running normally again so you enabled TeaTimer, but your log still shows infection. Please disable TeaTimer again. If that does not work, just uninstall Spybot. We cannot fix anything more until TeaTimer is gone.
      After that, please post a fresh log so we can continue.

      Running ResetTeaTimer.bat file usually takes care of TeaTimer. It seems odd that it did not work.

      Please run Hijackthis and place a checkmark next to the following:

      O2 - BHO: Helper Class - {3670A914-63C2-4E67-8C9B-370AE1922143} - C:\Program Files\BChanger\bchanger.dll

      Close all other windows and click "Fix Checked".Close Hijackthis.

      Please delete this folder:
      C:\Program Files\ BChanger

      Run Disk Cleanup in each user's profile:
      Click "Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup"
      Please make sure only the following are checked:
      -- Downloaded Program Files
      -- Temporary Internet Files
      -- Recycle Bin
      -- Temporary Files
      Click "OK" and Disk Cleanup will delete those files for you.

      REBOOT.

      Your Java is out of date.
      Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. It is possible that you may be running Java code in your applications that absolutely require a specific version of the JRE to run. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.

      • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.
      • Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u6 allows end-users to run Java applications".
      • Click the "Download" button to the right.
      • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
      • The page will refresh.
      • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
      • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
      • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
      • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
      • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
      • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each of the Java versions.

      • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
      • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u6-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.
      Official JAVA Installation Instructions if needed.

      Following that, please post a fresh Hijackthis log and let me know how things are running.

      If everything is running well, it would be good to flush System Restore so you can start fresh. We'll purge the old, infected Restore Points by turning System Restore off and on again.
      To flush the XP System Restore Points:
      (Using XP, you must be logged in as Administrator to do this.)
      Go to Start>Run and type msconfig Press enter.
      When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
      On the next page, click the System Restore Settings Link on the left.
      Check the box labeled Turn Off System Restore.

      Reboot. Go back in and turn System Restore ON. A new Restore Point will be created.


      Here is my standard list of simple steps that you can take to reduce the chance of infection in the future.
      If you have installed Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware as part of your cleaning procedures, keep it updated and use it to scan every so often for malware, or upgrade to the paid version for realtime scanning and auto updating.

      These suggestions are general prevention and are not customized for your computer. You may have already taken some of these steps, and depending on your current security, you may not need to implement all of these:

      1. Visit Windows Update:
      Make sure that you have all the Critical Updates recommended for your operating system and IE. The first defense against infection is a properly patched OS.
      Windows Update: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

      2. Please use a firewall and realtime anti-virus. Keep the anti-virus software and firewall software up to date.
      Note: Zone Alarm Firewall (by Checkpoint) has a free version http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/trial_zaFamily/trial_zaFamily.jsp?lid=home_freedownloads

      3. You might consider installing Mozilla / Firefox.
      http://www.mozilla.org/

      4. Do not use file sharing. Even the safest P2P file sharing programs that do not contain bundled spyware, still expose you to risks because of the very nature of the P2P file sharing process. By default, most P2P file sharing programs are configured to automatically launch at startup. They are also configured to allow other P2P users on the same network open access to a shared directory on your computer. The reason for this is simple. File sharing relies on its members giving and gaining unfettered access to computers across the P2P network. However, this practice can make you vulnerable to data and identity theft. Even if you change those risky default settings to a safer configuration, the act of downloading files from an anonymous source greatly increases your exposure to infection. That is because the files you are downloading may actually contain a disguised threat. Many very malicious worms and trojans, such as the Storm Worm, target and spread across P2P files sharing networks because of their known
      vulnerabilities.

      5. Before using or purchasing any Spyware/Malware protection/removal program, always check the following Rogue/Suspect Spyware Lists.
      http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
      http://www.malwarebytes.org/database.php

      6. If you have not already done so, you might want to install CCleaner and run it in each user's profile: http://www.ccleaner.com/
      ** UNcheck the option to install the Yahoo toolbar that is checked by default for the Standard version, or download the toolbar-free versions (Slim or Basic) when given the option for those.

      7. Practice Safe Surfing with with TrendProtect by Trend Micro. This is not compatible with Firefox 3.0 yet.
      TrendProtect is a browser plugin that assigns a safety rating to domains listed in your search engine. TrendProtect also adds a new button to your browser's toolbar area. The icon and color of the button changes to indicate whether the page currently open is safe, unsafe, trusted, or unrated, or whether it contains unwanted content.

      The following color codes are used by TrendProtect to indicate the safety of each site.

      Red for Warning
      Yellow for Use Caution
      Green for Safe
      Grey for Unknown

      8. You might consider installing SpywareBlaster: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
      It will:
      Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
      Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
      Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

      Periodically check for updates.

      9. Here are some helpful articles:

      Happy and Safe Surfing!
