Popups upon startup, Eliete toolbar, and no help..

I have run spybot, adaware, hijack this, ewido security suite (which took like 1.5 hours to do a full scan), Spyware Guard, Pest Patrol, and Spyblaster. I've also enabled "Immunize" in Spybot (I believe).

The problem is this: Upon startup of the comp, even if I do NOT open IE, there are windows that open up and load. The really annoying thing is these websites are trying to sell me anti-adware programs... there is NO way I'd buy something that caused the very problem they're trying to fix. Bastards. These windows seem to load up every minute or two minutes. They ALWAY interrupt what I'm currently working on in my system -- so they've virtually made my system inoperable.

It looks like spybot sees some errors after a scan but cannot fix them? They are listed as follows:
CoolWWWsearch.bootconf
Coolwwwsearch.loadbat
coolwwwsearch.msconfd
coolwwwsearch.oslogo
coolwwwsearch.tapicfg
coolwwwsearch.xmlmimefilter
It also says elitebar is fixed, but upon reboot and rescan, EVERY problem that was supposedly fixed is back.

My hijack this log is as follows:

After that update to SP2!

I have deleted those before. When I restart my comp and rerun hijack this, they are still there. This is what is confusing me.

And SP2 seemed to inhibt me from being able to use windows so I've opted not to use it

Please someone help. I think eliete bar is gone, but I am still having popups that seem to only happen when I use my mouse. I can load up the computer, and nothing will happen, but as soon as I go to click on something I'll get popups.

I'll post my new hijack this log:

And I deleted the above recommended deletions using hijack this, but upon restarting my comp the hijackthis log looks just like I posted above. The deleted entries are back. I booted up in safe mode, ran hijack this, deleted the recommended, ran spybot, and ran adaware... I reboot in normal mode, then EVERYTHING is the same again. NOTHING has changed. Fortunately, Eliete bar seems to have disappeared

Tim - please help! I'm losing the war on my end

Re: Popups upon startup, Eliete toolbar, and no he

Take a look at the Task Scheduler (in the Control Panel) and in the Advanced menu, select Show Hidden Tasks. If there is a hidden task there, delete it.

I cleaned a computer last week that had a self re-infection problem and the cause was a hidden task. What gave me the hint was a message about a missed scheduled task, even after disabling all visible tasks.

Good luck in the cleanup!

There's a new version of VX2/Look2me that's just shown up recently, and from the symptoms you're describing, it sounds like it may be what you have.

Can you please start off by downloading VX2Finder to your desktop from here: »downloads.subratam.org/VX2Finder(126).exe Start vx2finder, then click on "Click to Find VX2.BetterInternet" and then click "Make Log" and copy and paste the entire contents of the log here.

Also, I'm attaching a batch file I put together called Find.bat. Please download it to your desktop, unzip it, then double-click on it to run it. It should run for a few seconds, then open a text document. Please copy and paste the contents of that document here. Once that's done, close the text file and then press a key and the batch file will clean up after itself and end.

John2G: I ran one of their automatic removal programs following your link. It looks like it wasn't on my system, but it removed it anyways. I restarted the comp and some mofo ass browser window popped up trying to sell me anti-spyware software... what a joke. So, it didn't work

The batch file didn't work quite as well as I'd hoped, but it showed enough to confirm that's what you have. There's no definitive solution for this yet, but we can try:

First, please follow the steps here for enabling viewing of system/hidden files: »www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

Next, please download DLL Compare to your desktop from here: »download.broadbandmedic.com/DllCompare.exe Start Dll Compare, then click on "Run Locate.com". When it tells you that's finished, click on "Compare" at the bottom right. When that finishes, click "Make a Log of What was Found" and answer "Yes" to View Log file. Copy and paste the contents of that log here.

Please also open the c:\Windows\System32 folder and see if there's a file there called Guard.tmp visible and report that here as well.

Alright, please download Pocket Killbox to your desktop from here: »download.broadbandmedic.com/Killbox.exe

Start Killbox and click on Tools->Delete Temp Files.

When that finishes, copy and paste each of the following lines into the "Full Path of File to Delete" box in Killbox, and click the red button with the white X on it after each. Keep track of any files it tells you either could not be found or could not be deleted, as you'll need those in a minute:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cotsrvps.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\dunet.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\gpr6l3~1.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\n2l80c~1.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\o4ns0e~1.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\oce2nls.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\q8nuli~1.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\s4rsle971h.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Guard.tmp

For the files that it either couldn't find or couldn't delete, run killbox again, but this time, put a mark next to "Delete on Reboot". Copy and paste each file into the file name box, then click the red button with the X after each. It will ask you if you want to reboot each time you click it, answer "No" until after you've pasted the last file name, at which time you should answer "Yes".

When it reboots, please post a new DllCompare log and a new Hijack This log.

Zupe, can you provide a link to information on this new ver of VX2/Look2me? As an aspiring HJT analyst, I'd like to know what's currently up. Thanks!

Edit: Sorry to the OP! Upon reflection I should've IM'ed Zupe rather than posting here. Mea Culpa!

Alright, so far it seems to be working.

First, can you please make sure there's no C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Guard.tmp file visible now (if there is, please stop and post back).

Assuming there isn't: please unzip Hijack This to a folder of its own (ex. C:\HJT).

Once you've done that, with all windows closed, scan with Hijack This, put checks next to the items I've quoted below and click "Fix Checked":

O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 auto.search.msn.com
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 search.netscape.com
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 ieautosearch
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 ieautosearch
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 ieautosearc
Reboot.

After rebooting, please post a new Hijack This log, as well as a new log with VX2Finder. Finally, can you download the attached file and unzip the contents to a folder, then open that folder and double click on Find.bat. It will run for a minute, then produce a log (ignore any File not found messages on the screen, it should continue anyway). Please copy and paste that log here as well.

Whatever we're doing seems to be working on my end. I get a popup when I log on to this forum even though I have google popup blocker, but the persistent evil that is the old windows opening every 1 minute seems to be neutralized. If there are more problems you see in my logs then I am willing to continue until everything is fixed.
