He has. Also, you're using an old version of HijackThis!, the current version is 1.98.2. Please clean the following and repost your log from the newer version.

Since you use Firefox, you shouldn't need Internet Download Manager, and I'm not sure if it bundles advertisements:

Where the heck do I download Hijack This?

This site (also listed in the C&G FAQ) has a list of all HijackThis! mirrors. Spyware sometimes blocks it, though, so here is a direct link to one of the mirrors. By the way, 1.99, a new version, is out -- everyone be sure to snag it. Keep a copy of 1.98.2, though, as 1.99 is known to trigger crashes in certain r00ted systems.

i'm cleaning up a bunch of spyware crap on someone else's pc, so if somebody more versed in hjt logs than me can give this one a quick rundown and let me know what to zap, it'd be appreciated.

Darth_Zod: There's only one piece of overt spyware in this log (listed below), so I assume that you've run automated removal already. The rest of this stuff is comprised of such uncommon software that I'm not sure exactly what to trust. The entries I could find data on are all benign, if obscure widgets. I don't think I've ever seen anyone front-load so many pieces of software on startup before, either -- does this person actually need all of these things popping up on startup? With so many programs running at once, I'm loath to list anything as a waste of memory if the person is picky about his/her configuration.

The one killable piece is:

CursorMania is a program that tries to load up CoolWebSearch at every opportunity, but I see no trace of CWS in this log (presumably killed by whatever automated programs you've used). Best to kill the entry and do another sweep with CWShredder to be on the safe side.

Microsoft is releasing it's own anti spyware application:

Long linky to a rewiev.

They bought Giant software that made a for me unknown and untested spyware remover. IMHO they shold have bought Adaware or Spybot instead, but I guess they did't like the free part.

Make *sure* you have the latest CWS Shredder. Older versions will be noticed by CWS and won't run.

I have the latest version because when I ran the update it said i had the most up-to-date version.

jcow79: Have you killed infected background processes before starting the HJT! purge? From what I can see, C:\WINNT\system32\vqugor.exe is likely what's restoring the deleted entries, and if it's doing something while HJT! is running, it won't get removed. Apart from that, I can't see anything else suspicious in that log. Try Kill2Me as well -- you appear to have Look2Me, judging by the presence of links to 69.20.16.183.

Yeah, i have been running it in safe mode and it clears everything out just fine. But when I get back into windows normally....everything comes back. However the exe changes names every time.
Something else is generating random exe's.

I will try the kill2me though. Thanks for the suggestion.

Posted: **2005-01-11 03:16pm**

I ran the kill2me.exe and said there was no sign of infection. Any other suggestions?

Posted: **2005-01-11 07:52pm**

This is much more difficult than other cases; I've never seen an infection that comes back despite getting squashed in HJT!. Try VX2Finder to locate any hidden spyware DLL files and delete those from Safe Mode (or better yet, the Recovery Console). Also, when dealing with Look2Me, you can't have any open Explorer windows -- it hooks into Explorer tightly enough that if you have an Explorer window open, even in Safe Mode, it'll restart. Use the Task Manager to kill every instance of Explorer.exe and try to delete files VX2Finder points out via command prompt.

Posted: **2005-01-13 11:36am**

Ok, I ran the VX2 tool with no success. We are getting an error message on start up that perhaps will provide clues as to what has infected this computer. The message is: An exception occured while trying to run ""C:\winnt\system32\moc40.dll", UMonitor"

Now the DLL listed in this message changes everytime but the path and the Umonitor portion remain the same. Any clues?

Posted: **2005-01-13 01:14pm**

I've been doing a bit of research on the subject -- looks like this is a new version of VX2 that's much harder to remove than previous ones. Others report the "UMonitor" issue you have, and it all seems to tie back to that.

There's an updated version of VX2Finder as part of this package (the most recent version is a bit down the page rather than the first post). Run the batchfile and it should handle the task itself.

Oh, and is System Restore active? Disable it if it is -- it'll actually restore any removed spyware.
