Re: Trying to post, no success.

BEFORE you restore the Drive Image, finish the scans I recommended (at
Aumha.org) and then run HijackThis.

Ignore the thanaturd, ignore even PCR, who while well-intentioned, tends to
drag threads to incomprehensible places, pursuing increasingly ridiculous
and irrelevant details. Just do the scans I recommended and finish with
HijackThis, post the log to an appropriate forum and see what the experts
say.

| "EXTRACT /L C:\Progra~1\Common~1\Micros~1\Statio~1
| C:\Options\Cabs\Win98_49.cab Tiki.htm"

Ooops, there are 4 spaces in that line! One after "/L" too. But, forget
all this, anyhow, if you are going back to a backup.

|
| Where is your Win98_49.cab-- what directory...?...
|
| (a) "START button, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt"
| (b) At the DOS Prompt...
|
| DIR C:\Win98_49.cab /s
|
| Here is how it might go...
| C:\>DIR C:\Win98_49.cab /s
| Directory of C:\OPTIONS\CABS
| WIN98_49 CAB 1,802,240 04-23-99 10:22p WIN98_49.CAB
|
| Then your directory would be... C:\OPTIONS\CABS.
|
| (c) Replace the following with your own directory, if different...
|
| EXTRACT /d C:\Options\Cabs\Win98_49.cab Tiki.htm
|
| Here is the result I get. What did it say for you...?...
|
| C:\>EXTRACT /d E:\Options\Cabs\Win98_49.cab Tiki.htm
| Cabinet Win98_49.cab
| 04-23-1999 10:22:00p A--- 393 tiki.htm
|
| That is just a display-- no extract was done.
| You may stop, & just report what you saw, or...
|
| (d) IF you get that, then your Win98_49.cab is fine. So, do this
| EXTRACT...
|
| "EXTRACT /L C:\Progra~1\Common~1\Micros~1\Statio~1
| C:\Options\Cabs\Win98_49.cab Tiki.htm"
|
| Copy everything between the quotes (but not the quotes) & past it to
| the DOS screen with that 3rd button. That should be ONE line with
| THREE spaces: one after "EXTRACT", one after "Statio~1" & one after
| Win98_49.cab.
|
| MAKE SURE EVERYTHING BETWEEN THE QUOTES IS ON THE DOS LINE, or you
| might extract the WHOLE cab, instead of just "Tiki.htm"! No good!
|
| That was the SFN (Short File Name) for...
| C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery
|
| (e) Open Explorer to that folder, & rename "Tiki.htm" to "Tiki
| Lounge.htm".
|
| That should do it!
|
|
|| Another problem: What causes the folders changing types? Example:
|| some of my folders changed to Outlook Express like the Outlook

It may legitimately take more than two posts in special circumstances!

Re: Trying to post, no success.

You know what they'll say, "You have a few things we need to get rid of". They'll
walk it through in terms that can be followed like a swiss watch works. When the PC
is all clean they'll give congratulations and provide info on how to stay clean. All
the time being cordial to with the user.

There is up-to-no-good installed on the PC:
The first name mentioned is from 2003
The company responsible for lop.com is C2Media LTD located in The United Kingdom
http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2003-092919-5421-99&tabid=2

The second one is a popup maleware.

The third one got me to a nasty search result. I wound up at a site which popped
up a window stating that if my computer has been sluggish I may have a virus, adware,
etc. Closed the window and it tried it's damnest to scan my system and install
"Install171[1].exe. NAV blocked it and scooped it into the sht bucket.

Re: Trying to post, no success.

Hi Brian,
Well, I did the backup and now the computer is working better. I can
tell you how the www.lop.com got downloaded. I think I told the story back
in 2003. I would rather not go into it again now. I had just found it in the
register about a week an a half ago when I was looking in the Registry. At
this time I do not remember what it was. I took it out of the Registry. It
was under History in the registry. The next 2 are: www.errorsafe.com Crappy
software they want you to download. They try to look like an official
Internet Explorer error. First they put a pornographic picture of girls then
this window comes up with something like ( It looks like you have been
visiting adult sites you need to download registry cleaner). If you try to
get it off by clicking close another window shows up with all the normal
buttons grayed out. It has only one button which says OK I had to use
ctrl-Alt-Delete to get rid of it. The other one www.drivecleaner.com is also
Crappy software the same routine but it tells you need drive cleaner. Then
when you use the 3 finger salute, you lose some of the stuff in your Systray
Such as your keyboard. You have to restart or your computer will act crazy
also. After you restart the computer everything starts to work like it
should.
I would like to know more about the HiJack This program.

Re: Trying to post, no success.

Hi Gary,
Sorry, I did not get the message until after I did the Drive Image
backup. I did not have to go back to the Factory backup. I did the most
recent one I made on July 24th. It worked out OK. No problems with it.
No, I don't let the t------ bother me. I just thought I would tell him
to pay complete attention to the whole problem. He gives bad advice because
he WILL NOT read the all the posts concerning the problem. Did you read both
his posts? He did not reply to my post I made on 8/2/07 10:13AM. Did you
read it? Nah, he must be very, very, very bitter person. He needed to be
told the facts of life.
Back to the HiJack This, do you have to download it, or do you just
use it like the *Virus Total*?
I am still trying to figure out the Aumha.org thing.

Re: Trying to post, no success.

Scroll down at the linked page to get it:
http://www.richardthelionhearted.com/~merijn/downloads.html Info about it on page as
well.

Copy HJT to it's own folder, this is where the log files will be saved. Run HJT in
Normal Mode.
Do not remove anything with it until you get advice on what to remove, HJThis will
list many apps that are needed along with the bad ones. Removing items listed
hap-hazardly without knowing what they are can/will create a royal mess. Read the
quick start here on how to create a log file that can be copied/pasted into a forum
that can provide assistance on removal of unwanted pests.
http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/#quick

Then post the logs to an appropriate forum where they specialize in
spyware/hijacker removal. Please read any sticky notes for proper posting which are
most commonly posted first at the top in each specific forum. Read any information
under each forum category name for information on what that particular one is used
for, look for the proper one that you post logs to.
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/
http://aumha.net/
http://forum.aumha.org/

After running the above and assuring you have a clean machine:
It’s also a good idea to have a HOSTS file to block bad sites, scroll to HOSTS File
Manager here:
http://www.mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/Software.htm

Download/install/run SpywareBlaster which stops the bad boys before they even get a
chance to install:

Re: Trying to post, no success.

Hi Gary,
You will find his posts below mine on the dates: 8/1/07 3:10 AM and
8/2/07 10:13AM. If you want to check it out.
I was not able to understand it the first and second time I read it,
a little too wordy, it seems complicated. I did not print it out. Too many
things came up to interrupt.I tried a few minutes ago. It seems I already do
some of these things. I will try to read it again Not tonight though. My
sleep schedule has been out of whack. It happens from time to time. It has
been so hot and humid here. I have large mushrooms growing in my front
yard!! I feel like I am going to melt!!

Hi Brian,
I had trouble when I had Dial-up with the *Hosts*. I am a little leery
about using it. It was blocking everything. I could not even get on line!!
I saved the directions for HJT to my desktop.
