Hello there!

As I was surfing different pages today norton stopped and warned me there was a threat on a page and it had been deleted. I moment later I realized my IE has been changed aswell as my default startpage. I did a virus scan and found 7 different viruses. I could just delete one so i did another virus scan and now these are left "apiih.dll", sdkpt32.dll" and "syshp32.dll" (problem with IE still remains). I've used Spybot and Ad-Aware.

I use IE 6.0 with WinXP
Thanks in advance!
Here's my HijackThis logfile.

1. Download AboutBuster ver. 3.0 here:
http://www.malwarebytes.biz/AboutBuster.zip

Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet we'll do that later on down in this list in SAFE MODE.

2. Print out these instructions so you have them handy as some of the steps need to be done in safe mode and you may not be able to go online. We need IE to remain closed throughout the process.

3. Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files

Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

4. Next, go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok

Scroll down and find the service called 'Network Security Service' or 'Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper' or 'Workstation NetLogon Service'. When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

5. Reboot to Safe Mode
How to start the computer in Safe mode
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...001052409420406

6. Scan with Hijack This (current version is 198.2) and put checks next to all the following, then click "Fix Checked".

Delete the following files/folders:
C:\WINDOWS\MSGSOCM.LOG:qmpve
C:\WINDOWS\atlwc32.ex
C:\WINDOWS\mjewd.dll
C:\WINDOWS\apiih.dll

7. Double click on the AboutBuster tool I had you download earlier. Follow the instruction prompts to use the program and let do two scans (it will ask). When finished, press the *Save log* button. I will want a copy of that log after all steps are completed here.

8. Scan with Adaware and let it remove any bad files found.

9. Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press *ok* to remove:
Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

10. Reboot to normal mode, scan again with Hijack This and post a new log here.

11. NOTE:Two possibly three or four files may have been deleted from your computer by the hijacker and may need to be replaced.

Control.exe
Shell.dll
SDHelper.dll (if you are using Spybot Search & Destroy)
Hosts file (no extension)

If control.exe, shell.dll or SDHelper is missing
Go here: http://spywareinfo.com/~merijn/winfiles.html and download the needed file.

For a missing Hosts file:
Download Hoster from here: http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip
Press 'Restore Original Hosts' and press 'OK'
Exit Program.
Note: if you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself

If you have Spybot S&D installed and SDHelper.dll is missing, replace it here:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/winfiles.html#sdhelper and download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing your Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy)

12. Additionally, Please check your ActiveX security settings. They may have been changed by this CWS variant to allow ALL ActiveX!! If they have been changed, reset your active x security settings in IE as recommended.
Quote:

ActiveX controls and plug-ins
* Download signed ActiveX controls (Prompt)
* Download unsigned ActiveX controls (Disable)
* Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe (Disable)
* Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins (Enabled) (This actually refers to Java and Flash, not ActiveX)
* Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting (Prompt)

13. Finally, do an online scan at the following site. Let it remove any infected files found.
Trend Micro (PC-cillin) - Free on-line Scan
http://housecall.antivirus.com

Finally, when you are all done, please post the new HJT log and the AboutBuster log here for review

Here's the new HijackThis log, I will now check which files are missing ;)

Here's the final log of HijackThis and AboutBuster. I must have done something wrong because the startpage is still "about:blank" although I changed it and the popups remains.

I don;t think you did anything wrong. This can be a difficult exploit to remove on occasion.


1. Download AboutBuster ver. 3.0 here:
http://www.malwarebytes.biz/AboutBuster.zip

Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet we'll do that later on down in this list in SAFE MODE.

2. Print out these instructions so you have them handy as some of the steps need to be done in safe mode and you may not be able to go online. We need IE to remain closed throughout the process.

3. Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files

Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

4. Next, go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok

Scroll down and find the service called 'Network Security Service' or 'Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper' or 'Workstation NetLogon Service'. When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

5. Reboot to Safe Mode
How to start the computer in Safe mode
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...001052409420406

6. Scan with Hijack This (current version is 198.2) and put checks next to all the following, then click "Fix Checked".
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\mkaqq.dll/sp.html#29126
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\mkaqq.dll/sp.html#29126

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [apico32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\apico32.exe


Delete the following files/folders:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\apitm.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\apico32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mkaqq.dll
C:\WINDOWS\msmz32.dll

7. Double click on the AboutBuster tool I had you download earlier. Follow the instruction prompts to use the program and let do two scans (it will ask). When finished, press the *Save log* button. I will want a copy of that log after all steps are completed here.

8. Scan with Adaware and let it remove any bad files found.

9. Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press *ok* to remove:
Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

10. Reboot to normal mode, scan again with Hijack This and post a new log here.

11. NOTE:Two possibly three or four files may have been deleted from your computer by the hijacker and may need to be replaced.

Control.exe
Shell.dll
SDHelper.dll (if you are using Spybot Search & Destroy)
Hosts file (no extension)

If control.exe, shell.dll or SDHelper is missing
Go here: http://spywareinfo.com/~merijn/winfiles.html and download the needed file.

For a missing Hosts file:
Download Hoster from here: http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip
Press 'Restore Original Hosts' and press 'OK'
Exit Program.
Note: if you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself

If you have Spybot S&D installed and SDHelper.dll is missing, replace it here:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/winfiles.html#sdhelper and download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing your Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy)

12. Additionally, Please check your ActiveX security settings. They may have been changed by this CWS variant to allow ALL ActiveX!! If they have been changed, reset your active x security settings in IE as recommended.
Quote:

ActiveX controls and plug-ins
* Download signed ActiveX controls (Prompt)
* Download unsigned ActiveX controls (Disable)
* Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe (Disable)
* Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins (Enabled) (This actually refers to Java and Flash, not ActiveX)
* Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting (Prompt)

13. Finally, do an online scan at the following site. Let it remove any infected files found.
Trend Micro (PC-cillin) - Free on-line Scan
http://housecall.antivirus.com

Finally, when you are all done, please post the new HJT log and the AboutBuster log here for review

Ok these are the files I couldnt find in the HJT log:

(All the "mkaqq.dll" files were shown as "mqsig.dll" as you can see below)

Files that were supposed to be deleted but I couldnt find them:

Before we begin, please be sure that HiJackThis is in its own folder. This will allow us to use backups to restore entries if necessary. Please do not put HiJackThis in a temporary folder, or on the Desktop. I suggest using 'c:\program files\hijackthis\' or C:\HiJackThis\, but any name you choose is fine.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\mqsig.dll/sp.html#29126
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\mqsig.dll/sp.html#29126

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\mqsig.dll/sp.html#29126


Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked.

Reboot in Safe Mode*, delete the following: (you may need to show hidden files**)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mqsig.dll

*How to Boot into Safe mode: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...001052409420406
**Show Hidden and System files and folders
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

Also, uncheck the boxes for hiding known file extensions and hiding protected operating system files. We want to see it all. When we finish here, it would be a good idea to rehide the protected operating system files but leave the rest to be shown.

Reboot in normal mode.


HiJackThis version 198.2 is now available.
If you do not already have it installed, download it from here:
http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-file-328.html
http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/

Then run HiJackThis again and post a new log in this thread.

Alrighty here's the last HJT logfile (hopefully)
