    1. Download AboutBuster. Unzip it to c:\aboutbuster but don't run it yet we'll do that later on down in this list in SAFE MODE.
    2. Print out these instructions so you have them handy as some of the steps need to be done in safe mode and you may not be able to go online. We need IE to remain closed throughout the process. With that in mind, read through the instructions and download all necessary files ahead of time. Opening IE may cause the fix to fail
    3. Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files. Open Windows Explorer & Go to "Tools" => "Folder Options". Click on the "View" tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types". Now click "Apply to all folders". Click "Apply" then "OK"
    4. Reboot to Safe Mode => How do I boot into safe mode?
    5. Next, go to Start => Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok. Scroll down and find the service called
      • Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper

      When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.
    6. Press control-alt-delete to get into the task manager and end the follow processes if they exist:

    7. Run HijackThis and put checks next to all the following, then click "Fix Checked":
      • R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\seyqc.dll/sp.html#37049
        R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\seyqc.dll/sp.html#37049

      • C:\WINDOWS\system32\addog.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\addcb32.exe
        C:\WINDOWS\addlz32.exe
    9. Next, we will remove the offending service.

      9. Run the Ad-Aware scan and allow it to remove everything it finds and then REBOOT - Even if not prompted to.
      10. After you log back in, Ad-Aware may run to finalize the scan and remove any locked files that it may of found. Allow it to finish.
    14. Clean out temporary and temporary Internet files. Go to "Start" => "Run" and type in the box: "cleanmgr". Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press "ok" to remove:
      • Temporary Files
      • Temporary Internet Files
      • Recycle Bin
    15. Reboot to normal mode.
    16. NOTE: Two, possibly three files may have been deleted from your computer by the hijacker and may need to be replaced:
      • Control.exe. If control. exe is missing go to merijn and download the version of control.exe for your operating system. If you are running Windows 2000, copy it to c:\winnt\system32\. For Windows XP, copy it to c:\windows\system32\.
      • hosts (with no extension). Download the Hoster. Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program. Note: if you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself
      • SDHelper.dll (if you are using Spybot Search & Destroy). If you have Spybot S&D installed and SDHelper.dll is missing, replace it with this one. Copy the file to the folder containing your Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy)
    17. Additionally, Please check your ActiveX security settings. They may have been changed by this CWS variant to allow ALL ActiveX!! If they have been changed, reset your active x security settings in IE as recommended.In IE, click on "Tools" => "Internet Options" and under the "Security" tab, click on "Custom Level" and make sure that the following settings are correct:
      • Download signed ActiveX controls (Prompt)
      • Download unsigned ActiveX controls (Disable)
      • Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe (Disable)
      • Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins (Enabled) (This actually refers to Java and Flash, not ActiveX)
      • Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting (Prompt)
    18. Do an online scan at TrendMicro's site. Let it remove any infected files found.
    19. Finally, when you are all done, please post the new HJT log and the AboutBuster log here for review.
