| 284687 | 2004-10-26 00:33:00 | > You could also find something for sale at > http://www.trademe.co.nz/ I wouldnt buy software from tardme if i was you, the chances of getting something illegal or faulty are pretty high. Plus alot of things sell for far more than they are worth making it difficult to get a bargin. |

| 284688 | 2004-10-26 07:19:00 | sorry forgot to say that this is a hidden system file. If you follow CYaBro advice you should find it , CYaBro is also correct about the cause of the corruption virus or spyware | beama (111) | ||
| 284689 | 2004-10-26 10:41:00 | It seems I have got a problem with a worm or spyware . I have checked and virus definitions are up to date (norton anti-virus) and nothing was detected.... but there is something interfering with Explorer. My homepage has changed and every time I try to put it back it instantly return to bogus one http://easy-search.biz. I have run 'ad-aware' which removed some spyware but hasn't fixed explorer.. Help !!! |

| 284690 | 2004-10-26 10:45:00 | that one can be a ***** . . . . . . . . . try this, (it's not as bad as it looks lol): Extract the "get active services . vbs" - file to a new folder in the desktop . Doubleclick it to run it . This script will create and open a text file named Active . txt in the same folder as the script itself . It will then open Active . txt for you . It will list all active Services . Copy and paste the contents of Active . txt in your next reply here OK , the Plug and Play svc service: is your culprit (not to be confused with the (legitimate) Plug and Play service . . . ) Please do the following: Go to Start > Run > Regedit, and drill down to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\pnpsvc\ Parameters Click the 'Parameters' subkey once in order to display its contents in the right pane . You'll see a value there called ServiceDll . Doubleclick that ServiceDll line in order to bring up the Edit box, copy its contents, and paste them into your reply; we need the name and location of the corresponding file . . . The ServiceDll entry hasthe following value: c:\windows\system32\rhlacbgf . dll OK, in Hijackthis, click "Config", then click on "Misc Tools" . Once at the new screen click on the "Delete a file on reboot" button . You will be presented with a dialog asking you to pick a file . Copy and paste c:\windows\system32\rhlacbgf . dll into the file name field and press the open button . You'll be notified that the file in question will be deleted on reboot, when asked whether you want to restart your computer, click Yes . After a reboot the file should be gone Next: - Find and delete the file c:\windows\system32\pnpsvc . inf - Subsequently, copy the text in the 'Quote' box below to Notepad, and save it on your Desktop as fix . reg (Make sure to save as file type: 'All files (* . *)') ************************************************** ************** REGEDIT4 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\SafeB oot\Minimal\pnpsvc] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\SafeB oot\Network\pnpsvc] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\PNPSVC] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\EventLog\Application\PNPSVC] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\P NPSVC] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Sa feBoot\Minimal\pnpsvc] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Sa feBoot\Network\pnpsvc] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet001\Ser vices\EventLog\Application\PNPSVC] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\P NPSVC] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Sa feBoot\Minimal\pnpsvc] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Sa feBoot\Network\pnpsvc] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet002\Ser vices\EventLog\Application\PNPSVC] ************************************************** *************** Now double-click on the fixme . reg file you just saved; say yes when asked to add the contents of Fixme . reg to the Registry .

The following one could be a trojan but if not, it is not required anyway so could also be fixed . O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [SiS KHooker] C:\WINDOWS\System32\khooker . exe There are others I am not sure about but go to the Spyware FAQ (link to FAQs top right of this page) and go to the HijackThis tutorial link . Basically you just need to look up all those entries to see what they are and if they are dodgy get HJT to fix them . I would run a trojan removal program first, if you haven't already done so . There is a link in the Spyware FAQ to an online one if you want to try that . Just be very careful with HJT because if you remove something critical then your computer will stop working . You could also get rid of FindFast via Add/Remove Programs or remove it out of the Start Menu's Startup folder as it isn't necessary . There are other services that could possibly be removed - the FAQs have links to places to find out these things . |

| 284696 | 2004-10-28 23:11:00 | Ouch . That PC is full of nasties . In addition to the above: Have Hijack deal to these, then delete the actual exe files using Windows Exploerer (in safe mode if needed) . O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [syshl32 . exe] C:\WINDOWS\syshl32 . exe O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [Win Comm] C:\Program Files\Win Comm\WinComm . exe O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [ifjlmhpo] C:\WINDOWS\System32\klswac . exe O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [Microsoft Internet Acceleration Utility] iau . exe O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [Internet Connection Wizard] stisvsq . exe O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [Games Acceleration] svshost . exe O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [Internet Mail and News] msqdevl . exe O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [Microsoft Management Console] lssas . exe O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [Multimedia extensions] mservice . exe O4 - HKCU\ . . \Run: [Microsoft Internet Acceleration Utility] iau . exe O4 - HKCU\ . . \Run: [Internet Connection Wizard] stisvsq . exe O4 - HKCU\ . . \Run: [Games Acceleration] svshost . exe O4 - HKCU\ . . \Run: [Internet Mail and News] msqdevl . exe O4 - HKCU\ . . \Run: [Microsoft Management Console] lssas . exe O4 - HKCU\ . . \Run: [Multimedia extensions] mservice . exe They are all very nasty as far as I can see . If you are unsure of any of them, just try the file name into Google . No results means its a "morphing" variant that creates a random file name usually . |
