Virus wont die D:

**Not Kuno** · 2008-09-30 21:16

I got a virus a few days ago, and it instantly installed a bunch of spycrap and other stuff. It took most of the day to finally get rid of however today something new randomly appeared and the whole thing started again (I didnt use my laptop today so I couldn't of gotten something else). >.> I think some of the shit in startup isn't getting removed. Anyway I think search and destroy can help with that right? Well here's my log of that in the spoiler.

Spoiler: show

Yeah yeah kinda long. Not sure what I should get rid of. Thanks in advance.

Hint: what should be done involves an F and ends with a T, and is six letters long.

All joking aside, remove the O2 - BHO: (no name) - {CFEE97A3-4911-444D-8BE8-E243A23D3DE2} - C:\Program Files\Applications\iebt.dll (file missing)
O3 - Toolbar: Internet Service - {144A6B24-0EBC-4D89-BF09-A06A718E57B5} - C:\Program Files\Applications\iebr.dll (file missing) entries. You could also remove Sonic from your system since you have Nero installed. >_> Nero IS 500x better anyway. Other than that, GET RID OF AIM! There's been a thread with messengers that are all-in-one and not as bug-ridden as AIM. F-Secure is kinda... eh. as an anti-virus in my experience. Get AVG or Avast!. Also, remove all the bullshit McCrapafee stuff. It's FAIL. (Re: having a current sub of McCaffee and updated constantly, still got MagistrB on my system and lost a 15page US History term paper. Thank god for paper rough drafts. Yes, this happened almost ten years ago, however burn me once...)

I'm pretty sure I got rid of all the mcafee stuff. What else is there to get rid of? Didn't know what sonic was cause it came with the computer. And just that stuff? Some of the stuff in IE looks pretty fishy. D:

Edit: Oh yeah no way in hell Im getting rid of aim. XP I tried avast but that shit was too "hi im more a virus then actual viruses because Im going to be fucking everywhere". I dont like that shit.

**Sigi** · 2008-09-30 22:07

you still have a few references to it in your registry. And if you don't like Avast!, get AVG. Seriously, I have had poor experiences(!) with F-Secure in the past, and I've already explained my severe distaste of McCaffee.

That shit ain't kosher. If you don't like those entries, you could swap them to google or something. Anyhow, use Firefox or Opera- less buggies to bug you.

Other than that, most of the programs appear legit.
ORZ, there's a reason techs are told to format when customers get hit with virii.

Ok axed all those except for about:blank because thats my homepage on IE (that I never use). Also I axed that mcafee thing that was found because I dont even have that shit installed. >_> I'll give AVG a shot, is it free?

Funny enough, I got the virus when I let someone use IE on my laptop and I come back to find this crap. I run mozilla with everything locked down pretty much.

Check the sticky under free utilities

AVG didn't seem to help. In fact it did more of the opposite. Upon installation it crashed my pc with blue screen and the blue screen reappeared every time I turned on my pc.

Spybot is alright, but frankly it doesn't remove a lot of the tougher stuff. Super Antispyware is decent, and I've actually had Windows Defender remove some that nothing else would.

One thing to check is to make sure system restore is off, and also take ownership of the System Volume Information folder and all contents, as otherwise programs can't get rid of anything in there.

Seriously, prolly 80-90% of the time I get a machine with serious spyware/viruses, it winds up being a reformat. Redoing your system sucks, but it's a surefire way to get rid of whatever you got, and you may spend just as long (or longer) trying to clean off whatever infected it in the first place.

CCleaner it and see what comes up (scan both your computer (first tab) and the registry (second tab)).

**Not Kuno** · 2008-10-08 11:34

Ran CCleaner but not sure what it fixed. Still have viruses around even though I thought it was clean again. D: Should I post another search and destroy log?
