Hi dieselbreton,

If you want to get rid of MyBar:

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: myBar BHO - {0494D0D1-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\Archivos de programa\MyWay\myBar\1.bin\MYBAR.DLL
O3 - Toolbar: ?? - {0494D0D9-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\Archivos de programa\MyWay\myBar\1.bin\MYBAR.DLL

And when you´re busy anyway, loose these as well:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] C:\Archivos de programa\Archivos comunes\Real\Update_OB\evntsvc.exe -osboot
O16 - DPF: {280168BC-76BF-4CD0-B835-3D686EFA8DDC} - http://www.browserwise.com/search1/...Uninstaller.cab

Reboot after doing so.

Regards,

Pieter

Hi,

I had the unfortunate luck of getting that damn My Search parasite. Hell I didn't even download it, it downloaded itself onto my system.

Anyway, after running a search yesterday on the "new" toolbar I had received, I came across your site.

I followed the instructions given, about downloading Spybot Search and Destroy, and then Hijack This.

Anyway, I have run both programs, and have my Hijack This scan results to post, and await further instuctions.

Hijack This scan results:

Hi LGBTBinat,

It looks like you took care of it yourself, just some orphaned registry keys left.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {B4AF6421-1DDD-447B-88AF-ADF6CD6AAEAB} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {62999427-33FC-4baf-9C9C-BCE6BD127F08} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {014DA6C9-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10} - (no file)

Reboot after doing so.

I´m curious about this one:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MytekSystrayExePath] C:\Program Files\Mytek\Mytek Assist\MyTekSystray.exe
If you could point me to a site with info on the program it belongs to?

Hi Pieter,

Thanks so much for your help.

In relation to your question about the MyTek system tray. It belongs to a Web site (www.mytek.com.au) and is a computer tech support thing, here in Australia.

I received it with the computer when I got the computer, but really don't know much about it.

Once again, thank you.

Hi kimkay, Welcome to TSG.

Well first, you have the MSBlast worm. Let's get rid of that, okay?

Download and run this removal tool:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html

The, go here and d/l the patch you need to keep from getting re-infected:

http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.ht...search=+Go%21+


Okay, once that's taken care of, you do have stuff on your log to clean up. However, go here first and download Spybot:

http://www.safer-networking.org/inde...&page=download

After installing, have it go online to check for and download all updates. Then have it check you system for problems. Everything it finds in RED is safe to delete.

After running Spybot, reboot and then post another log back here to see what's left over, okay?

[kimkay]

for the tips! I got rid of the worm, then tried to download the patch--but couldn't because I didn't have service pack 2 or higher. When I tried to download sp 4, the download failed because my D drive is full. Do you know how I can change the drive this downloads to? I'm not a computer guru, and my husband is out of the country, so I don't know what to do to free up room on D. Also, I updated Spybot before running Hijackthis, so that log should be very current. Thanks so much, I really want to get rid of this stupid toolbar....

[winchester73]

Kimkay:

Ad-Aware 6.181 will remove the MySearch toolbar and the Blaster. This appears to be a new hijacker ... a new reference file will be released shortly, which will do some further cleaning.

Your broken Internet access is because of LSP provider 'lsp.dll' missing ... sahagent is using a trick to slip through SB's detection ... you aren't using any paths, so windows assumes (correctly) its in the system directory.

The HOSTS redirections are from an ip address that is (not yet) on the targeted list, but from the next update on this hijacker is included (it resolves to this kazaa-lite.ws site also)

Here is what I would suggest ... let's do some HT fixes, then run Ad-Aware ... then we can go through any remaining items:

In Hijack This, check ALL of the following items. Doublecheck so as to be sure not to miss a single one.

Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT fix all checked.
When you are done, re-boot.

Download and install the free Ad-aware 6 Personal Build 181, from this list of mirror sites: http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/

Start the program ... on the start-up screen, you will need to first run the Webupdate Feature (gear wheel at the top), or click "check for updates" to get the Reference File up to date. Currently there are multiple updates each week to keep up with the latest developments in this anti-trackware arena. Ad-Aware's database is almost twice as big as some of the other anti-trackware applications, and new targets are added/updated 2 or 3 times a week lately.

Ad-aware 6 Build 181 introduced scanning the Hosts file. The Hosts file is used by your computer as a quick means for finding out where a web site address is. Some targets use the Hosts file to assist in installing, executing, or maintaining their presence on your computer. The most common is redirecting web pages.

Please use the Custom Scan with Memory and Both registry scans ON. Also.... make sure that you activate IN-DEPTH scanning before you proceed.

See that you have these options checked:
Under Ad-aware 6 Settings, Scanning:
"Scan my Hosts File"
Under Ad-aware 6 Settings, Tweaks, Scanning Engine:
"Unload recognized processes during scanning."
Under Ad-aware 6 Settings, Tweaks, Cleaning Engine:
"Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion."
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."

Next ...

Run Ad-aware 6.
Mark the objects you wish to eliminate for removal. There are many options available with a right-click.
Make a Quarantine only if you do not have the Auto-Quarantine option ON.
Then choose "Next" to remove the chosen objects.
Finally ... Reboot

Please run HT again and post that log.

We might want you to submit winupdate.exe if it is still there. Also might want you to post your A-A logfile.

[EDIT]: The release of the new reference file is going to be tomorrow ... you might want to get it, and re-run A-A before running HT again.

Good deal winchester73

Appreciate the help here and thanks for those recommended AdAware settings....mine was not set for those, but now they are.

kimkay, you have to get your OS updated so you can get that patch installed, otherwise you're prone to re-infection of MSBlast at any time. How is your HD partitioned?

Thanks for the kind words. A scan with A-A 6.181 and the latest reference file will definitely be to Kimkay's advantage.

Just wait until you see what v6.2 will do when it is released ...
