It's Baaack, Winfixer

Its BACK. A few months ago you folks helped me get rid of Winfixer, but it is back and the old solution no longer works or at least I can't find the same files to uninherit. In addition to winfixer popups I am getting tribalfusion and winantispyware popups.

I have run adaware, spybot, cwshredder and I tried a new one "spy subtract" that works temporarily but the popups return when the computer is rebooted.

Here is my current hijack this log.

Blue Zee,

I started to follow the directions you sent me to and it did delete O20 - Winlogon Notify: geebx - C:\WINDOWS\system32\geebx.dll. The virtumundobegone seems to have worked so I have gone no further.

I noticed though that the other O2O file still shows up in the hijack this log, should this one be deleted also? I have no idea what it is. O20 - Winlogon Notify: igfxcui - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\igfxsrvc.dll
Is this file related to my problem? or something totally unrelated?

I'm going to reboot and do some more surfing to see if any of the popups return. I'll keep you posted

Thanks,

Charlotte

O20 - Winlogon Notify: igfxcui - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\igfxsrvc.dll

It's safe: Intel Graphics Startup Utility

Don't fix.

Logging off for today, nearly 1 AM around here.

I know you are on your way out of trouble, and I know Rpggamergirl will be around to help furthe if needed.

Hope to read the good news tomorrow morning.

Good luck,

Zee

>>O20 - Winlogon Notify: igfxcui - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\igfxsrvc.dll<<
that entry is legit, a dll belonging to Intel(R)Graphics Accelerator Helper.

What you had was a Vundo trojan.
So if you used the virtumundobegone that I suggested, you will find this file below that you can delete.
virtumondobegone, rename the vundo trojan with a .vir extension, while using Atribune's tool clears all the vundo trojan files including all the backwards file with different extensions. Whichever one you used will stop the problem.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\geebx.dll.vir <-- you can find and delete this file if still present)

rpggamergirl

there I go again, keep forgetting to refreshed before posting.

See you around next time Zee!

rpggamergirl

Ooops! didn't realize Grinler had ALL possible fixes for vundo trojan covered including virtumondobegone, :)

Thank you! I even used virtumundobegone to clean winfixer off my nephews computer too and it seems to work.
