Gary - I need your help please!

Gary, do you know what this screen means? It's not the first time I have had this come up and I went and downloaded Fixblast and have now run it twice but both times came up with nothing.

My computer has been acting really slowly lately. This is probably, in part, due to the fact that my hard drive is less than one Gb away from being choc a bloc! I am trying to hang in there for a while until I can afford to buy a whole new system - I have had this one for almost five years now. Perhaps I should also tell you that my Norton Antivirus expired a two months ago before I went on holiday and I still haven't got a new one. Whoops - don't scold me for that one! Also our apartment block is on a communal Internet connection. I have no idea how it works...all I know is that sometimes it is fast and sometimes it is slow. Am I in big trouble now and should I start backing up furiously?

Usually when the computer starts crawling at a snails pace then this screen comes up but then if I hit Refresh it will redirect me again. The last two days, however, it has been more offline than online. I am starting to get worried. Any advice. Thanks Gary or, in fact, anyone who might be able to explain to me what is going on.

Sincerely
Syd

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Syd,

While waiting for Gary or one of the other knowledgeable folks to come by, take a look at this thread --

http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/har...lp-please.html

If you can backup really important files, do it -- not just because there's a problem, but because we always should do it.

There are free programs to scan for spyware and viruses -- while you're waiting, take a look at those and run one. Read what Gary says about the Hijack log -- wait for him if you have any questions about how to do anything, but start thinking about whether you've added any software lately, hardware, downloaded any funny email or programs from the internet, etc. -- something that might help Gary figure out what might be going on.

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Hi Syd,

Your screen shot shows a url for my.yahoo.com. That's suspicious to begin with. Who would know how much bandwidth you are using and why would they warn you about it if it were a virus/worm?

Looks like a pop up ad that hit it's target.

Always good advice to keep your system free of virus and use a firewall.

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Bill -- just to clarify -- it is Syd who has the problem.

Good advice about the firewall etc., but it may too late for that right now.

oops, sorry, CJ. When I scrolled to see the op's name I didn't realize the posts were in reverse order.

I'll fix my reply. Apologies!

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

first of all you need to get your system protected and scanned, below is a free anti-virus and a free firewall. Both work very well and have never failed me.

Fire wall
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...eeDownload.jsp

Anti-Virus
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng...nti-virus-free

Then the next thing I would do is get shut of the Yahoo toolbar you have installed in IE6. Toolbars are never a good thing IMHO. Run windows updates, and make sure you are fully up to date with those. If you can, update to IE7 ,as it is a bit more secure than IE6.
If you can backup your files to CD/DVD and delete them from your system, this will help speed up your system. If you do that, defrag your hard drive after, to clean up the file placement on the drive.

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

CJ, Chris and Bill thanks so much for your advice. You guys are great. CJ, I am following Gary's advice in that thread right now and hopefully will have something to post for him soon. Chris, I do have Zonealarm and I will look into that Antivirus programme. My colleague at work mentioned AVG. It is free and, according to him, very good too. I had no idea that the toolbar might cause problems. I wouldn't even know how to remove it. Bill, I would never have thought to look at the URL. It looked so official to me and I just kept on wondering who or what Bandwidth Manager was!

Thanks guys.
Sincerely Syd

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Hi Syd

Sorry to hear you are having problems. I am sure that Gary will need to see your HJT log. You could upload it whilst waiting for Gary if you want to save a little time.

Here are the instructions to post your log.



Click here to download HJTsetup.exe, and save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
  • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the "Select Addition Tasks" dialogue.
  • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
  • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
  • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
  • Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
  • Copy and paste the log here
DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.


Ken.

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Right click My Computer, then click Manage.
This will bring up the Computer Management window.
Expand System Tools then click Event Viewer.
Double click System in the Right Hand pane.

Look for any Error indications (white cross on red background).
If found, double click the entry and an Event Property window will open.

We need details from that window, particularly the Event ID.

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Hi Syd

You do have some nasties in there.
I am still in training at the Malware University and not yet allowed to help you, but I would suggest you do nothing more until Gary replies or he will need a fresh HJT log.

I shall watch with interest as Gary fixes this.

Ken.

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Thanks Ken. I won't touch anything. I am too scared too! What I am doing right now is downloading the AVG Antivirus programme but I am not going to install it or uninstall Norton or anything like that. I am going to wait for Gary first. It is 11:15 at night over here so I will probably be going to bed in the next 45 mins or so and, therefore, might not receive any advice you or anyone else might give until tomorrow morning.

Sincerely Syd

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Hi Syd,

Sorry I'm a bit late getting to this, had a few problems lately that needed dealing with, so just got on line.

Before we get started I've a couple of questions.

1. Is Hinet, Chungwa Telecom Co. Ltd. Taipei, Taiwan anything to do with your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

2. How is Synnex concerned with your PC.

I see some Oriental Translation programmes running on your computer, so I'm guessing the first is legit, but I'll wait your answers.

You're using your D:\ drive as your default drive, so my auto systems weren't able to be used and I had to research your log manually, so that added a little time.

OK, had a look through your log, and it's mostly clean, however there's an item showing that I'm interested in.

I'd like you to check a file(s) for Viruses.
Quote:
D:\WINDOWS\system32\conime.exe
  • Click on the Browse button at the top of the screen.
  • Browse to the file.
  • Click OK.
  • Click Send, and the file will upload to VirusTotal / Jotti, where it will be scanned by several anti-virus programmes.
  • After a while, a window will open, with details of what the scans found.
  • Note details of any viruses found.
  • Post me the details please.

It's quite possible you have Rootkitted processes running on your computer, so I'd like you to run some scans for me.

Download GMER and unzip it to your Desktop. (It will create a folder GMER)

Alternate Download Site
  • Disconnect from the Internet, and close all running programmes.
  • There is a small chance this programme may crash your computer, so save any work you have open.
  • Open the GMER folder, and double click gmer.exe
  • Let the gmer.sys driver load if asked.
  • If it gives you a warning at programme start about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run a scan ..... click OK.
  • If no warning:
    • Click Rootkit tab.
    • Ensure that All the boxes to the right of the program are checked except Show All.
    • Click Scan.
  • Once scan is finished click Copy.
    • Click Start > Run then type Notepad.exe then click OK.
    • This will open a Notepad file.
    • Hit Ctrl+V to paste log into it.
    • Save the log to your Desktop.
  • Reconnect to internet and post the log please.

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner

Note: You must be using Internet Explorer as your browser as it will be necessary to install an Active X component to your computer.

Important If you have previously used Kaspersky Online Scanner (before 8th Aug 2006), you will have to uninstall the old version using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel before you can use the new version.

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
  • Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
  • Now click on Scan Settings.
  • In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
      • Extended (If available otherwise Standard)
    • Scan Options:
      • Scan Archives
      • Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK.
  • Now under select a target to scan select My Computer.
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
  • Copy and paste that information in your next post please, along with the GMER log, and the details from Jotti/Virus Total.

Post each log separately, so we don't exceed the post size limiter here.

Note: The Kaspersky online scanner is not yet fully compatible with IE7. You may get returned to a window without the Accept/Decline buttons after allowing the ActiveX control. The buttons are there - you just can't see them! Click on the zoom button (bottom, right of the window) and change it from 100% to 75%. You should now see the buttons. Reset to 100% once the license has been accepted.

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Gary, firstly thank you so much for responding in such a detailed way. You're a star!

Before we get started I've a couple of questions.

1. Is Hinet, Chungwa Telecom Co. Ltd. Taipei, Taiwan anything to do with your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

2. How is Synnex concerned with your PC.


In response to 1 - Yes, Hinet is our ISP and Chungwa is the local Telecom company.

Gary I am not sure what Synnex is. It sounds like something to do with Norton...or is that Symantec?

Ok, the rest I will get onto right away. I am not sure how much I will be able to finish tonight (it is already after 12) but hopefully I should have everything posted by tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks again for your willingness to help Gary.
Sincerely Syd

Re: Gary - I need your help please!

Synnex is the website that this entry on your computer connects to.

O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=Http://www.synnex.com.tw/

It is what IE uses when it resets to default conditions, usually it is set by the computer manufacturer or machine administrator, but it can be used by an attacker for malicious purposes.

In this case Synnex appears to be the retailer for your computer, (didn't find this info 1st time round), so the entry is likely to be legit. Just like to confirm things like this with the owner of the log I'm looking at.

Always happy to help where I can, I'm monitoring this thread, so I'll be notified when you next post.
