    Question Re: ABOUT:Blank hijack problem

    Neal

    here is the HJ this file

    Before you look this over, i found a web link that describes exactly to a T what is happening on my computer. It is almost as if it were me describing it except its not.

    http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=878

    This may help us figure this out and help you help me.

    thanks

    John

    I followed the advice of some of the folks on that other web page i mentioned previously. Specifically - calamity jane. I removed the users32.exe file and replaced that witha folder of the same name. I removed the file in safe mode,but i can not type anything in safe mode - it hangs up my computer. I dont know why. If you have an idea, please let me know. Anyhow, i did add a folder while in normal mode of that name. I also removed that adobepnl O2 entry running hijack this in safe mode. I also ran adaware in safe mode and removed a bunch of crap. Then i rebooted in normal mode and i was able to access the startup menu. I also went in while in safe mode b y the way and removed the runsrv32.exe and its .dll of the same name as well as susp.exe. My computer seems to be rid of the silly spyware messages for the moment and the IE home page is not being hijacked any longer. I now have control of where it points to. One thing that keeps happening though is that if i do a ctrl-alt-delete, the program will run ok, but when the window opens all i see is the process window and no tabs. Its like they disappeared, Do you know how to fix this or what is wrong? If not, what forum should i go to?

    Here is my latest hijack log

    Hi
    I managed to get rid alot of stuff by following that other web pages advice that i sent you.
    i deleted the users32.exe file in safe mode and created a new folder with the same name in normal mode. I couldnt type it in safe mode because keystrokes in safe mode would hang my computer up. I am not sure why that is. Anyway, back in safe mode, i ran adaware after downloading the latest updates and deleted a bunch of crap. Then i ran hijack and deleted adobepnl.dll in that run. I also went into the system 32 folder and removed the runsrv32.exe and its dll file. In the windows folder i deleted the susp.exe file. For good measure i also ran ewido again. Then i booted up in normal mode and it seems like all the spyware messages and the about:blank thing were gone from explorer.
    The computer seems to be running normally now. i can access the start menu as well. The only thing is when i do ctrl-alt-delete, the task manager comes up with the processes page which can be edited now, but none of the other tabs are visible. Its like the task mgr program got corrupted somehow. I was hoping you could tell me how to fix that. Here is my hj this file again.

    system restore stuff is the very last thing we do.




    Please download the Killbox by Option^Explicit.

    Note:In the event you already have Killbox, this is a new version that I need you to download.
    • Save it to your desktop.
    • Please double-click Killbox.exe to run it.
    • Select
      • "Delete on Reboot
      • Then click on either the "All Files" button if there is more than 1 item to Delete.
    • Please copy the file path(s) below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C

      C:\Program Files\backups\backup-20060609-225648-254.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\qjrkvy.exe
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winflash.dll


    • Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard".
    • Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.
    If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.


    How is your computer running now?

    The computer itself seems to be running ok (after following your kill box instructions), but the task manager is still messed up. The same thing is happening when i do ctrl-alt-delete and bring up the task manager. The process window is showing but has none of the other tabs like performance, network, users etc. And you cant close it once you open it. You have to reboot to get rid of it.
    So, it looks like everything is running fine, but this one program in windows is still corrupted. Maybe there is a corrupt dll associated with task manager?

    I am kind of befuddled on where to go from here.

    I figured out what my problem was. The kill box did help speed my computer up however.
    I discovered after reinstalling task mgr from my xp disk that it was as simple as double clicking on the upper border of the process window to get all the tabs back. So, it was just operator error. I read that on another web page fortunately. I am sorry to have extended your time and effort on this. The computer works great otherwise. You guys are the best! I cant thank you enough. Honestly, i am grateful people like you are on the net because with the &*$%$ people that wrote this malicious code, you need all the help you can get. I just wish they could stop these people and string them up - probably ex-disgruntled microsoft employees or something.

    Now, what about stopping this from occuring in the future? What steps can i take to make this less likely. I know its not bullet proof, but i would like to try reduce the risk to something manageable.

    thanks again.
