698620 2008-08-19 07:38:00 Hi, just removed Antivirus XP 2008 from friends computer with Malware Bytes Anti-Malware but know I think that the browser is hijacked and there weems to be more viruses running inthe background as sometimes it doesnt go to the intended website, redirects to another website.
Also, trojan remover doesn't work, when I try to open it it shows up this (Attached file: untitled0.bmp (1.83 MB)).
Very weird.
Here is a logfile:

Reboot, then update trojan remover click on scan, select all options under utilities

698622 2008-08-20 05:46:00 Sorry fro the late reply couldn't gain acces to it till now, I will reply again tomorrow.
Also, after installing TR it shows up a box saying this:
STOP! Your license has expired, and then there are options to enter a registration code, buy the software and instructions on how to install it.
I have tried reinstalling but same message appears. Has TR been taken over?
Blam (54)
698623 2008-08-20 06:43:00 No if you've had trojan remover for 30 days + it'll expire, its a trial till you pay for it

Did you have it installed previously?


[edited: advice on how to by-pass expired trial versions of software is not permitted on this forum - Jen (Moderator)]

Get malwarebytes and install / update it then click on scan. See what that picks up
Speedy Gonzales (78)
698624 2008-08-20 09:34:00 Already scanned with malware bytes, picked up nothing, also I am sure that the message box that came up from TR was fake, it didn't look like what a company would do, very dodgy. Sorry I can't get you a screenshot, I currently don't have access to it. Blam (54)
698625 2008-08-20 09:48:00 After you ticked the entries in post 2, did you kill those processes then delete those files?

Install Avast / NOD32 and scan the hdd

698627 2008-08-20 10:33:00 Got a Customers PC that's got the Antivirus xp 2008 its putting up a good fight - but I'm winning slowly :D Already run malware bytes, but while that got most of it, it didn't get them all.


double click C: drive/ Program files, look for the folders named either qrwrmdcx or rbzzaaae if there delete them.

Try looking in the following locations, and delete the entry if there - if not there then move on:

c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Antivirus XP 2008.lnk
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Antivirus XP 2008
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Antivirus XP 2008.lnk
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Antivirus XP 2008\Antivirus XP 2008.lnk
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Antivirus XP 2008\How to Register Antivirus XP 2008.lnk
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Antivirus XP 2008\License Agreement.lnk
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Antivirus XP 2008\Register Antivirus XP 2008.lnk
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Antivirus XP 2008\Uninstall.lnk

Open regedit, ( Click start/run, type in regedit press enter) if these are there delete the entry.
You can do a search for the following in the reg, may be safer - click Edit / Find, type in qrwrmdcx then search for rbzzaaae


look in the following locations: NOTE: xxxxxxx could be either qrwrmdcx or rbzzaaae

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\xxxxxxxxxx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\xxxxxxxxxxx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion "xxxxxxxx"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform "AntivirXP08"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run "SMrhcnkrj0etfg"

Note 2: Nod32 found and deleted some of the infections instantly - as good as Avast is for a free AV, it was installed on the PC and missed them.

On the PC I'm working on round 1 to me:banana But its still not clean.

698628 2008-08-20 11:11:00 Cheers, glad to know I'm not alone on this battle :)
Will do that ASAP
Blam (54)
698629 2008-08-20 11:17:00 Almost forgot - Download the latest Spybot S&D, link in my sig, update it and run, that does a reasonable job as well.

When it loads for the first time it may advice there are X number of temp files it can delete - let it delete them, as Ccleaner doesn't get these for some reason, and I have found this is where some of Antivirus 08 is hiding.

You need several antimalware programs to clean out a PC, no one program does it all.
