Solved: REMOVING Browser Helper Objects

error911 · 26-Apr-2007, 06:37 PM #1

I have having a problem removing what looks like more than one browser helper object.

After each reboot I am having different .DLL files show up in the list within IE.
These are the names I have seen and then disabled:
awvts.dll
vaesksdq.dll
research
wvusqnl.dll

I have run hijackthis and here is my log:

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.

Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
Click the Scan for Vundo button.
Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log in a reply to this thread.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove. In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button" when VundoFix appears upon rebooting.

Also I have another file showing as a broswer helper obj.
name: vaesksdq.dll

Is that file also a threat ?

Thank you much.

error911 · 27-Apr-2007, 02:09 AM #4

Also this file is unknown to me.
from hijackthis:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [InfoData] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\oiyipoet.dll",realset

Is this file also a threat?

Do I need to 'use' hijack this feature to remove those entries at some point ?

What other program can I use as an additional step here ? maybe some kind of reg. cleaner ?

Thanks for your help.

Do I need to do any more steps ?
What is the BEST program for keeping those things away from my system ?
Thank you

**Cheeseball81** · 29-Apr-2007, 11:33 PM #9

Java Version 6 is now available. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application. Beware it is NOT supported for use in 9x or ME and probably will not install in those systems

Upgrading Java:

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.
Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
Click the "Download" button to the right.
Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
The page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
Go to Start > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.

Now turn off System Restore:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Restart your computer.

Turn System Restore back on and create a restore point.

To create a restore point:

Single-click Start and point to All Programs.
Mouse over Accessories, then System Tools, and select System Restore.
In the System Restore wizard, select the box next the text labeled "Create a restore point" and click the Next button.
Type a description for your new restore point. Something like "After trojan/spyware cleanup". Click Create and you're done.

How are things now??

Things are better now.

Thank you very much for your help.

What is the best program to have running that would protect my system from Spyware Malware Etc ?

Is Avg free virus scanner a good enough program for virus protection ?

What is your opinion? Thank you again.

**Cheeseball81** · 30-Apr-2007, 07:27 PM **#11**

I use AVG as a virus scanner and love it. SUPERAntiSpyware is also great too.
