Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

Ok, ran RRT in safe and normal mode. Access to "regedit" is still blocked.

 

However, I was able to run "HiJackThis." Log is attached.

Hi

 

We are slowly getting there you still have other infections.   I will weed out the bad ones in the hijackthis log now we can get that to run.

 

 

Plus still the rootkit, that's a different fish.

Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

Ok,   I have left the first bad one out as i am not sure yet if that will cause a login loop with userinit.exe

 

So Now start Hijackthis again and tick, check these entries only

 

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nwiz] nwiz.exe /install                                  (not need on startup)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows System Recover!] C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1.MET\LOCALS~1\Temp\notepad.exe

O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-18\..\Run: [] C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\u0h72og.exe (User 'SYSTEM')

O4 - HKUS\.DEFAULT\..\Run: [] C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\u0h72og.exe (User 'Default user')

O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1             (disabled regedit entry)

O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.trymedia.com (HKLM)

 

And click "Fix Checked"

 

The PC may need to be restarted.

I will slowly keep breaking this down, and freeing it up.

 

You comment earlir on

 

"and restarted in normal Windows XP mode. Security Configuration appeared stating Windows was in Diagnostic or Selective Start up Mode. It asks me to choose Normal Windows startup and start Windows normally to stop the warning, " 

 

Could be to do with

 

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows System Recover!] C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1.MET\LOCALS~1\Temp\notepad.exe

 

Which is a Rogue / Fake

Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

What do I run on the main menu of "Hijack This" to do this?

Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

Just click, "Do System Scan only"

 

Then when it finishes scanning like before to get the log you will see little tick boxes,   Please only tick the entries I stated in the previous post with the list of entries to tick and fix checked.

Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

I don't see this entry:

 

"O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows System Recover!] C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1.MET\LOCALS~1\Temp\notepad.exe"

 

Instead, it says,

 

"O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows System Recover!] C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1.MET\LOCALS~1\Temp\mdm.exe"

 

Do I still check it?

Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

Ok will have to think on that, why it changed.

 

Did you see the entry for disabled registry??

 

Just do the others

Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

Yes, the DisableRegedit=1 entry is there.

 

So, check/tick all the ones you listed except for:

 

"O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows System Recover!] C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1.MET\LOCALS~1\Temp\mdm.exe" ?
