631578 2008-01-18 22:10:00 hi All,
have a friends compaq "evo n800v" lappie here that was running slow as. I had run Hijack this and identified the above named trojan.

The owner on his own bat tried to remove it and well, now I have the machine here.

Current symptoms are that the task bar has been replaced ( or covered) by a grey panel that would normally background a taskbar button, the Start button has gone , the task manager will not appear with CTR+ALT+DEL and the the program Icons on the desktop when selected result in a panel opening up which reads the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I have managed to navigate via MY COMPUTER to the system32 folder and can run the command prompt. Via that I have run CHKDSK /r and since run sfc /scannow ( with MY copy of XPPRO)

Fortunatley I still have the copy of the log from the first scan with HJT and have been able to do another reflecting the current status:

The sfc /scannow has been run from the system 32 folder and on what appears completion, the window has closed, the COMMAND.COM window is still open. On trying to close the COMMAND.COM window, another info box opens that states " windows cannot end this program. it may need more time to complete an operation". the window offers an end now option ( losing any saved data) and a cancel option to return to Windows.

I am curently running the SFC /SCANNOW command from the C prompt and will evaluate any result that gives. Meanwhile I thought I would post this and see if any of you can offer insight

631582 2008-01-19 21:32:00 Dont forget to run Combofix Pancake (6359)
631583 2008-01-19 21:50:00 First you need to remove AVG - you cant run two antivirals, they can conflict . keep the nod32, far better software.

The log doesn't look to bad. one obvious is

O23 - Service: Network helper Service (MSDisk) - Unknown owner - C:\Windows\System32\irdvxc.exe (file missing)

run HJT again, tick it and remove.

Download spybot, Spyware Doc from my sig, get Ccleaner as well, run that get Trojan Remover (www.simplysup.com) & Super Antispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/). Run all those and see what they drag out.

Running SFC /SCANNOW wont do any good, the Reg /startup is trying to run a file that no longer is active.

631584 2008-01-31 20:44:00 Hey All,

been away.

ok, update... Combofix will not run from the desktop, nor will the likes of CCleaner.. Software such as MS word, publisher will. HJT will but will not delete (as noted further) Usual dialogue window states ..." this application will not run because it is not configured properly, re-installing application may resolve this problem". ..as noted.. programs will not install

The MSdisk ref from the HJT report, incorporated with IRDvcx will not budge after ticking the box in HJT and expecting it to be removed.

The issue of two antivirus programs running is acknowledge.

I'm now suspect the registry keys for the interaction between the start up menu/task bar as well as the Task manager not launching, are damaged beyond repair. With this in mind, I have resolved to reinstall XP... Just waiting on owner to come forward with OS CD etc. ( no partition on hard drive with copy of OS.. which suggests computer is second hand ( or worse) and or the hard drive has needed to be reformatted at some point)

Thanks for all of your suggestions and guidence. would be glad to read any further suggestions or speculations.

Big ups to you all

631585 2008-01-31 20:52:00 Why not try a Repair install first? pctek (84)
631586 2008-01-31 20:57:00 Try trojan remover in my sig. Update it then click on scan.

Then select all options under the utilities menu.

Then open my computer, right mouse on c, and select scan with trojan remover.

I think the file you've got is IRDVXC.EXE.

It looks like Rahack (rbot is another name for it) uses this file

I would also disable system restore.
Speedy Gonzales (78)
631587 2008-01-31 21:10:00 PC_tek: I am (Assuming.. eek) the owner will not have the OS CD (u'ho) if she does, I will try repair. I'm just waiting for her to get back to my message's

Speedy: my bad typo :) ..... have disabled the SYSTEMRESTORE since my earlier HJT log.. Do you know if the Trojan remover you suggest will run from a usb stick?
