HJT Log.. help need to remove O1 hosts please

Viruses and worms
1

Hi All :slight_smile:

I am trying to fix my sister in law’s laptop as it was running silly slow and obviously bugged up to the eyeballs! I downloaded and ran malware bytes anti malware and it found 921 bad files! I also installed avg. The computer is running a billion times better but there is still a problem that i cant seem to sort out. Whatever it is will not allow me to connect to anything google. Could someone have a look at the highjackthis log below and tell me what I can do to rectify this problem? I know I’ve got to deal with the host files starting with O1 but am unsure how to.

Thanks in advance,

Debby

Navigate to windows’ host file and rename it to hosts_infected- Windows will create a new clean file.

http://accs-net.com/hosts/how_to_use_hosts.html

If the internet connection is through a router, make sure the router has a secure password, or its DNS settings may have been changed too.

This may be some host file problem…
Have you also tried running

Superantispyware www.superantispyware.com
Hitman Pro 3 - Second Opinion Malware Scanner http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro

and can you post the Malwarebytes log file ?
if big, down in left corner: additional options > attach

Dr.web cure it! repair HOSTS

5

Thank you both for your replies, unfortunately neither suggestions got rid of the malware. I ran spybot and it found

Fraud.WindowsProtectionSuite 11 entries

Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts 210 entries

When I click to fix the problems it says - 'Unexpected error in fixing problems (cannot create file “C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts” Accessis denied)

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks very much

Hi Debby lets try this

Download OTL to your Desktop

[]Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
[]Under the Custom Scan box paste this in

[b]netsvcs
%SYSTEMDRIVE%*.*
/md5start
eventlog.dll
scecli.dll

[/b]

[*]Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

[*]When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

Could you attach both text files to your next post (it is under additional options)

7

Thank you. I have attached both files. Thanks for looking at them for me :slight_smile:

8

Here we go - this will delete the host file and then create a new one. I will also remove some other nasty bits

Run OTL

[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:OTL
O1 HOSTS File: ([1980/01/04 00:40:52 | 000,006,946 | RHS- | M]) - C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
O3 - HKLM\..\Toolbar: (no name) - Locked - No CLSID value found.

[2010/03/13 23:27:27 | 000,000,000 | -HSD | M] -- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\111e4fd

:Commands
[resethosts]
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

Thank you so so very much! :-* I can access google again and the little lappy is running like a dream!

I have attached the file as requested. Is there anything else you can see or am I all done?

Thanks again! I really appreciate it.

Debby

No that looks good now - run OTL, hit the cleanup button and it will uninstall itself
