really hope u can help…

Lets first start with the basics before jumping into HJT.

What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ? Check the avast! Log Viewer (right click the avast icon), Warning section, this contains information on all avast detections.

What actions have you taken to try and resolve the problem ?
What is your firewall ?

If avast has dealt with them then they shouldn’t be slowing your system, unless you have other problems.

Suspect Possibly Vundo infection - fix:

Urgent
Please edit out the links to the URLs in your post so they don’t catch the curious or unwary, they are live links to infected files,
e.g. http :// l.mezzicodec.net/a412/tr.php?m=1&b=779

Are you visiting the l.mezzicodec.net and download.cdn.winsoftware.com of your own accord to get say free codecs, etc. a common hook to get you to download malware.

Most of the stuff appears to be coming down into the temp internet and temp folders, why they aren’t caught by the web shield like the others but being caught by the standard shield. So it would be worth while periodically clearing out the temp folders, ClearProg - Temp File Cleaner or CCleaner - Temp File Cleaner, etc.

Have you fixed the entry I flagged ?

yes i fixed the file u flagged. i am also running speedupmypc 3.0 and clean out my files everyday ??? is that any good or not?

i also keep running avast and ad-aware everyday. all the time web pages are just popping open. is there anything i can do to fix this? ???

Yes it means they don’t get to hang around and hopefully if you notice a file in use it will prompt some closer attention. However with avast most aren’t getting to stay period, my concern is how they got there in the first place without being caught by one of the resident shields, web shield mainly or P2P, etc. if you use any of the other shield applications.

Did you try moving the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drvvej.dll file to the user section of the avast chest ?
From there it could be sent to avast as it wasn’t detected although it would appear that it is adware related.

You should have rebooted afterwards and then monitor if you get any more activity.

There is most certainly something on your system and it may be a hidden rootkit.

Also see, anti-rootkit, detection, removal & protection http://www.antirootkit.com/software/index.htm.

BlackLight - It can detect rootkits like Rootkit Revealer but can also remove them. http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/
Panda Rootkit Cleaner - http://research.pandasoftware.com/blogs/research/archive/2006/12/14/Rootkit-cleaner.aspx

you know what…i didnt have anymore popups until just when i started to type this msg. i rebooted about 10 minutes ago and nothing, then as soon as i typed anything the popup opened. i am running 12 ghosts popup shouldnt that do anything to the popups?

i ran hijackthis and fixed the drvvej.dll fileand now it is not showing up when i run it again.isthere any other way to find out if the fil is still here?

which one these rootkits would be the best one to do? any opinion?

  1. I don’t get any pop-ups, firefox has a very effective pop-up blocker as part of the installation, at least they are so infrequent I don’t recall.
    I have never heard of 12 ghosts pop-up and there are many things that purport to do something and do the opposite. I would look for another.

  2. Yes look in the location it was reported in and that which I gave C:\WINDOWS\system32\drvvej.dll, if it is there, you may need to enable view hidden files and folders in Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View tab, see image. If it is there you should open the avast chest, user files and select File Add and select the file.

  3. Start with the first run that and then the second. Report the findings.

i added the file to the chest and scanned just that file. is that what u meant to do? i am kinda computer illiterate.

No I meant sending it to Alwil Software for analysis and hopefully inclusion in the VPS so it can be detected in the future, protecting others. Scanning it won’t achieve anything at the moment because it is currently undetected.

Right click on the file in the chest and select email to Alwil Software.
