    Read over the following directions. Ask if anything appears unclear to you.



    Clean out TEMPORARY FILES procedures:
    To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:

    CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp

    Install Options:
    • Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!
    • Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.

    It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.

    Do not run CCleaner until requested later.





    We will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet. Accordingly, it is probably a good idea to print out the following directions or copy them to a text file on your desktop using NOTEPAD. Read these instructions carefully and feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything.

    SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Book Support Amok Window] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\APPLICation Data\SECOND LICENSE BOOK SUPPORT\Setup glue.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Great Joy] C:\DOCUME~1\ZHIYON~1\APPLIC~1\OPTION~1\OBJ TEAM LINK.exe

    Make sure that all browser windows and internet links are closed, even this one!
    CLICK ’FIX CHECKED’ with HijackThis.



    HIDDEN FILES: To make sure you can see all hidden files, please follow the directions here

    SAFEMODE: Boot into safe mode by tapping the F8 key at restart and choosing 'safe mode' menu option (explained here if needed).



    Delete TEMPORARY FILES: Now, use CCleaner to hunt down the most common temporary file locations and the temporary file clutter contained therein (and of possible malware hiding places):

    Run CCleaner .

    FIRST-TIME USE:
    Select the ‘Options’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), ‘Advanced’ BUTTON, and then UNCHECK the ‘Only delete files in Windows Temp Folders older than 48 hours’.

    Select the ‘Cleaner’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), if not already selected. Use the ’Windows’ TAB up front by default.
    • Uncheck ‘Cookies’ option (advisable)
    • Optionally, Uncheck ‘Recently Typed URLs’ option (potentially still useful)
    • Click the ‘Analyse’ button.
    • Thereafter, click ‘Run Cleaner’ after you have reviewed what it proposes to clean.

    ***** Clean out the Recycle Bin for items removed below, ONLY once you have regained the full functional use of your PC.




    Navigate to these files or folders using Windows Explorer (OR Start -> Search) and delete (if present):




    DELETE FOLDERS:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\APPLICation Data\SECOND LICENSE BOOK SUPPORT
    C:\DOCUME~1\ZHIYON~1\APPLIC~1\OPTION~1





    POST A REVISED HIJACKTHIS LOG for review:
    Reboot and post a new HijackThis log with any feedback as appropriate - how things are now behaving: any new or remaining apparent issues.

    I followed the instructions to the letter and after experimenting with the cleaned machine, all order seems to have been stored! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!

    A note before I post the Hijackthis log: The first of the two items in your list (SECOND LICENSE BOOK SUPPORT) wasn't there in the first run of hijackthis. I wonder if uninstalling anything earlier this morning accidentally cleaned it.

    Now the supposedly clean Hijackthis log:

    I see no futher issues in your latest HijackThis LOG.



    To help avoid serious infection again, please look carefully at this post for some excellent preventative measures. Prevention must be made the first line of defense to improve upon.



    ONLY ONCE you are as clean as possible from any needed cleanup steps - As a final cleanup step (after serious infection), it may be advisable to Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove any bad files that MAY have been backed up by Windows . The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing them. And, this is the only complete way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which could likely be infected, anyway.)

    PLEASE NOTE: you will need to log into your computer with an account that has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account. Accordingly and of further note; it can be very unsafe to run with admin rights on any PC that you browse the Internet with.


    (Windows XP)
    FOLDER LOCATION: c:\System Volume Information\_restore….
    To Turn OFF System Restore.
    1. Click the Start button.
    2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
    3. On the System Restore tab, check Turn off System Restore or Turn off System Restore on all drives.
    4. Click Apply.

    REBOOT.

    To Turn ON System Restore.
    1. Follow the steps in the previous section, but in step 3, uncheck Turn off System Restore or Turn off System Restore on all drives. Then click OK.
    2. Create new System Restore points.


    (Windows ME)
    FOLDER LOCATION: c:\_RESTORE\TEMP\….
    See the following link for instructions:
    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...rc=sec_doc_nam




    To reduce the re-infection potential for malware and protect your PC against spyware, here are a few helpful suggestions:
    1. Keep Windows and Internet Explorer current with the latest critical security updates from Microsoft . This will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer . You CANNOT complete this update using an alternate browser – you must use Internet Explorer.
      http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5co...t.aspx?ln=en-us
      http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp
      • http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11273
        If you surf to questionable (blockable) parts of the Web, you could encounter sites that compromise your PC without any user interaction. In experiments [reported Aug 2005], Microsoft identified 752 specific addresses owned by 287 Web sites that contain programs able to install themselves on a completely unpatched Windows XP system. Also, be aware that the WinXP Service Pack 2 was an update that focused almost exclusively on security. Also reported was that a fully patched Windows XP SP2 system cannot be compromised by any such discovered rogue Web sites.

    2. Run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep its definitions up-to-date. If you are thinking about switching (using a real-time AV tool only one at a time), there are some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!.
      AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
      Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    3. In addition to using Ad-aware, consider using another free malware scanning/removal program :
      Adaware SE: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Person...ubj=dl&tag=top5
      Spybot S&D: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Dest...tml?tag=lst-0-1


      AVG Anti-Spyware : http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5


      Microsoft Windows Defender beta 2 : http://www.download.com/Microsoft-Wi...ml?tag=lst-0-1

    4. Consider using a free firewall if you are not already using one (use only one firewall at a time – normally you will need to disable the MS firewall). Some good free ones (for incoming and added outgoing traffic protection) are:
      Kerio Personal Firewall: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm
      *** After 30 days, Kerio shuts down selected features, but will continue to run in 'free' mode.
      Zone Alarm: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/comparison.jsp?lid=ho_za

      It is not a bad idea to also consider using a Router/Hardware firewall device where you have a High-Speed Internet access connection. A software firewall may occasionally need to be disabled or it gets/remains disabled by someone or something. Such an added layer of security consistency has a lot of merit to it.

    5. Consider using an alternate free browser for general web surfing but you must use IE for windows updates. The use of Firefox (or similar alternate) mitigates the many types of malware that are now possible when using IE ActiveX based components.
      Mozilla Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

    6. Consider increasing your browser security by using these programs:
      SpywareGuard will help protect your homepage from being hijacked: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
      SpywareBlaster will increase browser protection by blocking access to thousands of known malware sites by adding them to IE's restricted sites zone. It essentially blocks known- bad ActiveX program items from being installed or running on your computer. Download it here: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
    7. A HOSTS file can block Internet access to thousands of undesirable or known-bad sites by not allowing you any easy browser access to such sites knowingly or unknowingly. Use HJT to determine if a current HOSTS file exists and any contents therein:
      • Run the HiJackThis tool and select ‘Open the Misc Tools section’.
      • Next select ‘Open host file manager’ button.
      • Use the ‘Open in Notepad’ button in XP/W2K or use WORDPAD if necessary [type wordpad.exe in the RUN box (Start>Run)] and load the FILE PATH identified in HJT.
      • Go to http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt . # Read the initial instructions #. Copy and paste (append or replace) the RELEVANT host address entry contents of that file into Notepad or Wordpad and save the updated file contents.

    *Remember just like your primary anti-virus software, it is important to:
    • Keep all of these programs up-to-date (using auto-updates where possible), and
    • Use them on a regular (minimum weekly) basis.




    REALITY CHECK:
    • Who else uses your PC? What are the potential risks created by multiple (potentially loose cannon) users and why?
    • What about bad luck, simple mistakes, and bad browsing choices (SEE: www.siteadvisor.com and their BLOG)?
    • SEE: The Dangers of Popularity (for Popular SEARCH TERMS):
      http://blog.siteadvisor.com/2006/08/...pularity.shtml
      The correlation of search term popularity and search term riskiness illustrates how malicious activity tends to follow and exploit consumer behavior. Users demand "free," and bad actors flock to fill corresponding search results with their deceptive offerings. All too often, users don't realize the detrimental consequences of these sites until their systems crash from spyware or their inboxes become choked with spam.


    ABOVE ALL, it is most imperative that users exercise "safe surfing" habits such as banning or at least verifying email attachments (with scanning tools) before opening, and by not executing programs unless obtained from a trusted (or researched) source, etc.



    In general, always research any unfamiliar links or products that you might want to access or download. In particular, the SiteAdvisor site and other REPUTABLE research-based link sources have continued to make a significant difference to my clients’ PC health due to better-informed browsing habits and choices. Peer-to-Peer and FREE download sites add a level of risk that many should seriously take into account and adjust their behavior accordingly (significant sources of drive-by-downloads, script based infections, and annoying POPUPs).

    Additionally, TEMPORARY files are both a significant source of clutter and potential hiding places for MALWARE content. Clean out those areas periodically - at least weekly. You can use a tool like CCleaner (or ATF Cleaner):


    To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:

    CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp

    Install Options:
    • Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!
    • Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.

    It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.
    Do not run CCleaner until requested later.


    Run CCleaner in SAFE MODE (reboot tapping the F8 key after the beep).

    Select the ‘Options’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), ‘Advanced’ BUTTON, and then UNCHECK the ‘Only delete files in Windows Temp Folders older than 48 hours’ (because the latest download traffic could easily be the bearer of some bad content).

    Select the ‘Cleaner’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), if not already selected. Use the ’Windows’ TAB up front by default.
    • Uncheck ‘Cookies’ option (advisable)
    • Optionally, Uncheck ‘Recently Typed URLs’ option (potentially still useful)
    • Click the ‘Analyse’ button.
    • Thereafter, click ‘Run Cleaner’ after you have reviewed what it proposes to clean.


    Those that continue to want to use ‘Limewire’, 'BitTorrent', 'Bearshare', ‘Morpheus’ or other P2P applications, can expect to see the possibility for more serious malware issues (such as bad executables):
    http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/bearshare.com


    You would be well-advised to at least consider strengthening your real-time prevention tools and use either Spy Sweeper or Spyware Doctor, and possibly also run AVG Anti-Spyware (mainly for anti-trojan defensive purposes) in real-time, as well (paid version=realtime). No combination of tools, however, can ever be completely fail-safe for all possible issues.
