Hi everyone, I'm new at this post, but i've been reading here for a long time and find it very useful. I have a problem with lots of pop-ups recently and can't get rid of them. Could somedy please help me. I ran Hijackthis.exe and here is my log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.5 Scan saved at 1:15:07 PM, on 12/6/2003 Platform: Windows 2000 SP2 (WinNT 5.00.2195) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) Running processes: C:\WINNT\System32\smss.exe C:\WINNT\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINNT\system32\services.exe C:\WINNT\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINNT\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINNT\system32\LEXBCES.exe C:\WINNT\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINNT\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINNT\System32\nvsvc32.exe C:\WINNT\system32\regsvc.exe C:\WINNT\system32\MSTask.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Serv-U\SERVUD~1.exe C:\WINNT\system32\ZoneLabs\vsmon.exe C:\WINNT\System32\WBEM\WinMgmt.exe C:\WINNT\Explorer.exe C:\PROGRA~1\LEXMAR~1\AcBtnMgr_X73.exe C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\printray.exe C:\WINNT\System32\svchost32.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe C:\WINNT\System32\internat.exe C:\WINNT\System32\WScript.exe C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe C:\Program Files\Winamp3\winamp3.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe C:\PROGRA~1\WINZIP\winzip32.exe C:\Documents and Settings\cruz1\Desktop\HijackThis.exe R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = http://www.search-1.net/search.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.search-1.net/search.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.searchwww.com/ R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.yahoo.com/ R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://www.searchv.com/search.html R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.search-1.net/ R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.search-1.net/search.html R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.searchv.com/ R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://www.searchv.com/search.html R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.searchwww.com/bar.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://www.searchwww.com/search.cgi?s=%s R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchAssistant = http://www.search-1.net/search.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,CustomizeSearch = http://www.search-1.net/search.html O1 - Hosts: 209.66.114.130 sitefinder.verisign.com O2 - BHO: (no name) - {029CA12C-89C1-46a7-A3C7-82F2F98635CB} - C:\Program Files\Kontiki\bin\bh210161.dll O2 - BHO: MediaLoads Enhanced - {85A702BA-EA8F-4B83-AA07-07A5186ACD7E} - C:\Program Files\MediaLoads Enhanced\ME2.DLL O3 - Toolbar: &Radio - {8E718888-423F-11D2-876E-00A0C9082467} - C:\WINNT\System32\msdxm.ocx O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Synchronization Manager] mobsync.exe /logon O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.exe C:\WINNT\System32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Lexmark X73 Button Manager] C:\PROGRA~1\LEXMAR~1\AcBtnMgr_X73.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PrinTray] C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\printray.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [svchost32] C:\WINNT\System32\svchost32.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nwiz] nwiz.exe /install O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System Service] C:\WINNT\System32\msrexe.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Msoffice] C:\WINNT\Fonts\msoffice.hta O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [internat.exe] internat.exe O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.exe O4 - Global Startup: MSupdater.exe O4 - Global Startup: Search.vbs O4 - Global Startup: ZoneAlarm.lnk = C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe O8 - Extra context menu item: Download with GetRight - C:\Program Files\GetRight\GRdownload.htm O8 - Extra context menu item: E&xport to Microsoft Excel - res://C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office10\EXCEL.EXE/3000 O8 - Extra context menu item: Get It With Kontiki - res://C:\Program Files\Kontiki\bin\bh210161.dll/201 O8 - Extra context menu item: Open with GetRight Browser - C:\Program Files\GetRight\GRbrowse.htm O16 - DPF: {0000000A-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} - http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/4/4/d446e8a9-3a86-4b59-bb19-f5bd11b40367/wmavax.CAB O16 - DPF: {02BCC737-B171-4746-94C9-0D8A0B2C0089} (Microsoft Office Template and Media Control) - http://office.microsoft.com/templates/ieawsdc.cab O16 - DPF: {03F998B2-0E00-11D3-A498-00104B6EB52E} (MetaStreamCtl Class) - https://components.viewpoint.com/MTSInstallers/MetaStream3.cab?url=http://www.viewpoint.com/cgi-bin/vet_install_popup.pl?

Thanks Rob

You have a CoolWebSearch hijack and are infected with W32.Mimail.J and Backdoor.Jeem. 1. Download and run the Mimail removal tool here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.mimail.removal.tool.html 2. Download and run CWShredder: CWShredder 3. Run HijackThis again and check the following and click 'fix checked'. Then reboot. O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System Service] C:\WINNT\System32\msrexe.exe After rebooting delete C:\WINNT\System32\msrexe.exe 4. Run Hijack again and post a new log.

Thanks a lot Tom41. I ran the MiMail removal tool but it didn't find it on my system. Then I ran CWShredder and it erase a bunch of things that made sense to me. Here is my new log after running HijackThis after the deletions: Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.5 Scan saved at 4:50:17 PM, on 12/6/2003 Platform: Windows 2000 SP2 (WinNT 5.00.2195) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) Running processes: C:\WINNT\System32\smss.exe C:\WINNT\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINNT\system32\services.exe C:\WINNT\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINNT\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINNT\system32\LEXBCES.exe C:\WINNT\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINNT\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINNT\System32\nvsvc32.exe C:\WINNT\system32\regsvc.exe C:\WINNT\system32\MSTask.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Serv-U\SERVUD~1.exe C:\WINNT\system32\ZoneLabs\vsmon.exe C:\WINNT\System32\WBEM\WinMgmt.exe C:\WINNT\Explorer.exe C:\PROGRA~1\LEXMAR~1\AcBtnMgr_X73.exe C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\printray.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe C:\WINNT\System32\internat.exe C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe E:\OTHER FOLDERS\Spywares-Virus\HijackThis.exe R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.searchwww.com/ R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.yahoo.com/ R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.searchwww.com/bar.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://www.searchwww.com/search.cgi?s=%s R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchAssistant = , R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,CustomizeSearch = , O2 - BHO: (no name) - {029CA12C-89C1-46a7-A3C7-82F2F98635CB} - C:\Program Files\Kontiki\bin\bh210161.dll O2 - BHO: MediaLoads Enhanced - {85A702BA-EA8F-4B83-AA07-07A5186ACD7E} - C:\Program Files\MediaLoads Enhanced\ME2.DLL O3 - Toolbar: &Radio - {8E718888-423F-11D2-876E-00A0C9082467} - C:\WINNT\System32\msdxm.ocx O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Synchronization Manager] mobsync.exe /logon O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.exe C:\WINNT\System32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Lexmark X73 Button Manager] C:\PROGRA~1\LEXMAR~1\AcBtnMgr_X73.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PrinTray] C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\printray.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nwiz] nwiz.exe /install O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [internat.exe] internat.exe O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.exe O4 - Global Startup: ZoneAlarm.lnk = C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe O8 - Extra context menu item: Download with GetRight - C:\Program Files\GetRight\GRdownload.htm O8 - Extra context menu item: E&xport to Microsoft Excel - res://C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office10\EXCEL.EXE/3000 O8 - Extra context menu item: Get It With Kontiki - res://C:\Program Files\Kontiki\bin\bh210161.dll/201 O8 - Extra context menu item: Open with GetRight Browser - C:\Program Files\GetRight\GRbrowse.htm O16 - DPF: {0000000A-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} - http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/4/4/d446e8a9-3a86-4b59-bb19-f5bd11b40367/wmavax.CAB O16 - DPF: {02BCC737-B171-4746-94C9-0D8A0B2C0089} (Microsoft Office Template and Media Control) - http://office.microsoft.com/templates/ieawsdc.cab O16 - DPF: {03F998B2-0E00-11D3-A498-00104B6EB52E} (MetaStreamCtl Class) - https://components.viewpoint.com/MTSInstallers/MetaStream3.cab?url=http://www.viewpoint.com/cgi-bin/vet_install_popup.pl?

Again thanks a lot for your help Rob

The Mimail removal tool did remove the registry entry, it was this one: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [svchost32] C:\WINNT\System32\svchost32.exe Run HijackThis again and place a check in the box next to the following items. Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT 'fix checked'. You Must restart your computer when you're done.
