Comment:

I have a machine that I am using AVG with and it is reporting a lot of files with the GaelicumA virus but AVG does not seem to remove it. I have also tried SQUARED-A with no success. I wanted to try Trend Micro's online scan but I am unable to load Java as it fails every time I try to install it.

Please post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus/spyware/hijacker can be identified.

Please download HJTsetup.exe from this link http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
Continue to click "next" in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the "Select Addition Tasks" dialogue.
Put a check by "Create a desktop icon" then click "Next" again.
Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialogue box click "Finish" and it will launch Hijack This.
Click on the "Do a system scan and save a logfile" button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log and post it in this thread.

Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly.

Or follow these directions to boot into safe mode. How to boot into safe mode

Once in safe mode run Hijack This, close all windows except Hijack This, then place a check to the left of the following items and press "fix checked":

F1 - win.ini: run=c:\windows\speedy.pif

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Spees1] C:\WINDOWS\Speedy.scr

Exit Hijack This but remain in safe mode

Navigate to and delete thes files if found:

c:\windows\speedy.pif

C:\WINDOWS\Speedy.scr

Reboot to normal mode.

Go start> settings> control panel> Internet Options > General tab. Delete temporary internet files - choose 'delete all Offline content'. Clear out all Cookies other than those needed for logon.
Empty the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Empty Recycle

Run this free online scan from Panda

When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to the desktop, then copy/paste into the text editor and post it.

I ran the hijack in safe mode, fixed the two entries, rebooted to normal mode, deleted cookies, and tempoarary files including offline content. I then deleted everything from the windows temp direcory except for the directories temporary internet files, history and cookies. I then went to pandasoftware to run the scan. I clicked on scan free and and another window comes up asking me for my country, provinve and email and another scan button. I filled out the 3 fields and click the scan button but nothing happens.

I should also mention that even before I did the stuff you asked me to do, I am getting a message when I go to web sites that seem to need to download something. The message is 'To display this page correctly you need to download and install the following component.

loading.....please wait

It never gives me a component name. Instead I get another window that says;

Installation of the coponent failed. Please try again later or choose windows update under the internet explorer tools menu to install this component.

I tried to go to windows update and I get the same two dialogue boxes. I continued and tried to scan for updates but the page never goes above 0%.

Sound like your java needs to be updated so that active x will work. This could be an all night download for dial-up. Should an interuption occur just go back and restart the download, it should pick back up at the point of interuption and continue to download.

Go to the following link http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp and download Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 6 then try to run Panda again.

Please try to download it from the link provided. It sounds as though you may have been on old version 1.4 web start page although I can't be sure.

I wouldn't format just yet. Before you try the download post a new Hijack This log please.

Jabuck,

I tried a different approach. I went to the java link you gave me and did a manual download. I downloaded and saved the offline install (16MB). When I try to run this it starts to install but gets to a point where it says configuring windows installer. After about 15 seconds the install quits.

The virus is mutating as shown on your Hijack this log here:

F1 - win.ini: run=c:\windows\natal!.pif

This program, DR. Web. CureIT (as Johnw mentioned above), should run on 98 so run it.

Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan.
This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it.
This is only a short scan.
Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.
Select all drives.
A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:
If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable.
This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
Close Dr.Web Cureit.
Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
After reboot, post the contents of the log on your desktop.

I downloaded and ran CureIT. It did not find any viruses in memory. It is scanning all the drives now but it is taking quite a while. Interesting enough it hasn't found anything yet. Could it be that AVG is wrongly reporting viruses. For the most part the machine is running fine other than AVG keeps reporting files with viruses.

No,it's definitly a worm.

After the Dr.Web CureIT program is through go to start> settings>control panel> folder optioins> Select the View Tab> In the Hidden files section select Show all files> Click OK.

Reboot to safe mode and run hijack this and remove this item:

F1 - win.ini: run=c:\windows\natal!.pif

Exit Hijack This.

Navigate to and delete these files if found:

c:\windows\natal!.pif

c:\windows\natsin.gay

c:\windows\natsout.gay

c:\windows\newton.gay

c:\windows\natlog

c:\windows\natlog2

Next open notepad (Start Menu > Run > Type "notepad" without the quotes and press "ok".

Copy and paste everything into notepad between the x's making regedit4 the top line.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
REGEDIT4

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "4wd!!!"=-

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]"ScrSvrOld"=-


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Goto File on the top bar and choose Save As, Change the Save As Type to All Files, Name it Fix.reg then save it to your desktop.

Double click Fix.reg (or right click and choose Merge) and it will ask if you want to merge the contents into the registry, choose Yes and the reg entry should be removed.

Post a new Hijack This log please

I had already removed the natal!.pif using hijack this when I found it before. I hope this was okay. There are no files in the windows directory that begin with nat* or new*.

Sorry is the last character in the reg entries a dash or an uderscore?

Maybe the defaults for active x need to be reset and this sould do it.

I am not at the machine right now but no that isn't that the problem. On the java download page they referred to that as a possibility and I am familiar with the yellow bar that wants to download an active x control. However I have only ever seen that in WinXP.

Read the link below in the paragraph headed "INTERNET EXPLORER IE6 SP1" at the following link http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1084434913 compliments of "MAC".

You may want to post on the 98 forum to see if there may be a better updated method but this was the most reliable for me while running ME or 98.

morning Jabuck,

I wanted to add that I was also able to get the windows update to come up and install every update that was available other than the language updates. I will remove the load.exe. Any idea why panada did not report the files as having viruses when AVG does. I should add too, the amount of times AVG pops up showing a file having a virus, seems to be decreasing.

Hi jabuck,

I deleted the load.exe and now I am trying to run the panda scan again. I am getting the following error;

An error has occurred downloading Panda ActiveScan. Please repeat the process. If the error occurs again, restart your system and try again

Possible causes of this error are:

Not allowing the application's ActiveX control to be downloaded.

Problems with the Internet connection.

The error could be due to a download error or an installation error due to lack of hard disk space, privileges etc.,...

I am going to try and reboot but I doubt that is going to help.

I am including another HJT log for you to view;

I finally got back to looking at this machine tonight. I tried to run Panda and was unsuccessful with the same issue as before. I tried downloading and installing Java, again with the same problem as before. So I then tried to reinstall IE 6.0. Now when I restart the computer it gets to a point where it just seems to hang. If I go to to task manager the only process is explorer and it does not say it is not responding. I hope you are still around to try and help me. Sorry I had to abandon this form for a while.

I started the computer in safe mode and ran hijackthis and tried to delete the 04 entry you mentioned. It complained that it was unable to delete it but when I ran the scan again it was gone. I did a search for the winupdate.exe file on all my hard drives and could not find it anywhere. I checked the win.ini as well just to make sure it was okay. I then rebooted to normal mode. I received a message 'Windows cannot find start.exe'. I had the Win98 directory on one of my hard drives so I browsed there and it seem to find it. I tried rebooting the machine and it wouldn't restart or shutdown. I forced it by hitting the reset button. It started up okay this time but when it did it started a bunch of dos windows for a few seconds (about 5 of them). I am now sitting in Windows. Should I post a new hijack log?

Reboot your computer into safe mode.

Make sure you can view hidden files.

Navigate to and delete these files if found:

C:\Windows\scrsvr.exe

C:\Windows\puta!!.com

C:\Windows\marco!.scr

C:\Windows\Brasil.exe

Then run the scan again and post the results.

Jabuck after cleaning up the files do I rerun the scan in safe mode or do I reboot again and then rerun the scan.

Also because I am running Win98 could I delete the files my booting to DOS mode?

Jabuck,

The latest scan showed a bunch of files wityh the same virus so I did a google search for the virus and found a page where someguy had the same problem. he said it was the worst virus he had ever seen. Anyway his solution was to dowload vcleaner from Grisoft. I downloaded and ran this and it cleaned up all the files. I just completed a complete AVG scan and it reported no viruses. Thanks for all the time and help you put into this helping me resolve the problem.

Good to hear, I'll put that in my malware removal tool folder for removing viruses on 98.
