update your antivirus and then download and install Superantispyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/

update it too, boot under safemode and scan the system with both of them
let them to clean everything they finds
run Disk Cleaup to get rid of all the temp files on your hard drive

boot back in normal mode and post a fresh hijackthis log
for posting the link, click Analyse, and then post the link to the Temporary Saved log file which can be found underneath the analyse box. the above link is not a saved logfile :)

Hi,
After pasting your log on that site, you need to click "Analyse",
At the top of the analyses, where it says, "The following analyses has been stored temporarily" underneath that, click on "Logfile of Hijac..."
and post the resulting URL back here please.

OR:
Just paste your Hijackthis log here.

i can't tell, that exactly what kind of infection is this, may be rpggamergirl can explain this in details :)

but from your hjt log, i can suggest the followng;

open your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc folder
open the hosts file with notepad and remove all those O1 entries, a normal hosts file should look like this only;

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

and then scan again with the hjt and fix the following entries,

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,SearchAssistant = http://search.bearshare.com/search/index.html?src=ssb
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1
F3 - REG:win.ini: load=C:\WINDOWS\System32\ezqutci\csrss.exe
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O4 - Startup: csrss.lnk = ?

after that boot in safemode and remove this folder if present,
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ezqutci

scan with superantispyware to make sure it comes clean.
restart back and check the results, if problem persists, post a fresh hjt log.

Win.32/Chod worms seem to like your pc very much! this is the same infection as before, just a new variant.

Shehar got the bad entries but Hijackthis won't be able to kill the infection on its own, 2 of those entries(the main infection) will come back unless you run the tool.

Use either of these tools, or use both just to make sure nothing will be missed.
1.  Please Download MsnVirRem.exe to your desktop.
http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=get9

First close any other programs you have running as this will require a reboot
Double click MsnVirRem.exe to run it
Once open, click the button labelled "Search and Destroy"
<<Your computer will now be scanned for Infected Files>>
When scanning is finished you will be prompted to reboot only if infected, Click OK
Now click the "REBOOT" Button.
After the Reboot, you WILL receive file not found errors (usually 4) please acknowledge them and continue.
A Message should popup from MsnVirRem if not, double click the program again and it will finish.


2.  Download SDFix and save it to your desktop.
http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.zip

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

* Restart your computer
* After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
*  Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
*  Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
*  Choose your usual account.

*  Open the extracted folder and double click "RunThis.bat" to start the script.
*  Type "Y" to begin the script.
*  It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
*  Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
*  Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
*  When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display "Finished", then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
*  Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of the results file "Report.txt" back


>>(btw, good job on getting Master Rank, long time no chat :D)<<
thanks, and btw can you please email me, I have something to ask you and(nothing to do with this thread or EE for that matter) or maybe at yahoo IM.

you can fix this one;
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

otherwise i cannot find anything else really bad, wait for the gree signal from rpggamergirl :)
also i noticed one thing, are you running both Avast and AVG antiviruses?

in case you used Avast before, and have uninstalled now, there are still enteries for its startup services present in HJT log, which you can fix to get rid of it completely, otherwise let us know the present scenerio of the anti-virus scanners on your system :)

 

by: rpggamergirlPosted on 2007-08-22 at 04:40:53ID: 19745114

Sorry, took me long to catch up and get back here.

Yeah, as Shehar mentioned above, have you uninstalled Avast? if so, then you can fix those Avast related services that are still there.

Log looks clean now, still having problems?

Yeah, I'm on MSN, under another name not rpggamergirl. Are you a member of any private trackers? TL in particular.

"Are you a member of any private trackers? TL in particular"
