01 hosts

I inadvertantly let Windows Protection Suite in this morning. Thought I had rid of it, it doesn’t show on any virus scans but I’ve had nothing but probs since.

Starting Hijackthis I get the following
For some reason your system denied access to the hosts file etc
Then
You have a particlarly large ammount of hijacked domains etc


C:\ WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
hosts.bak
hosts.ics
hosts.new
Imhosts - SAM file
networks
protocol
services


Cannot get rid of 01 Hosts. Tried everything I can find on the net, no luck.
Tick and flick in hjt but they all come back.

Please go easy, I’m past sellby date and can only understand words of one sylable. No offence, hope you understand
Thanks

Hi Rodasm,

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and choose Install to extract it to its own folder on the Desktop. Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
• Choose your usual account.

• Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
• Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
• It will remove any Trojan Services or Registry Entries found then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
• Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
• When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
• Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
• Finally copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum with a new HijackThis log

-- If this error message is displayed when running SDFix: "The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator. Press any key to continue..."
Please go to Start Menu > Run > and copy/paste the following line:
%systemdrive%\SDFix\apps\swreg IMPORT %systemdrive%\SDFix\apps\Enable_Command_Prompt.reg
Press Ok and then run SDFix again.

-- If the Command Prompt window flashes on then off again on XP or Win 2000, please go to Start Menu > Run > and copy/paste the following line:
%systemdrive%\SDFix\apps\FixPath.exe /Q
Reboot and then run SDFix again.

-- If SDFix still does not run, check the %comspec% variable. Right-click My Computer > click Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables and check that the ComSpec variable points to cmd.exe.
%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe

Hi SifuMike, hope this is what you wanted. Glad that someone can make sense of all this.
Still getting messages as below when starting HiJack scan
“For some reason your system denied access to the hosts file” etc
“You have a particlarly large ammount of hijacked domains” etc

Hi Rodasm,

All right....so next thing to do is this :

Download and scan with Spybot S&D
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

1. Install Spybot. Be sure to UNCHECK TeaTimer when presented with the option to install.
2. Run Spybot, go to the Menu Bar at the top choose Mode and make certain that "Default mode" has a check mark beside it.
3. Click the button "Search for Updates".
4. If any updates are found, install them by placing a checkmark next to each one and clicking "Download Updates".If you encounter any error messages while downloading the updates, manually download them from here.
5. Click on "Immunize". When it detects what has or has not been blocked, block all remaining items by clicking the green plus sign next to immunize at the top.
6. Click the button "Check for Problems".
7. When Spybot is complete, it will be showing RED entries, bold BLACK entries and GREEN entries in the window.
8. Make certain there is a check mark beside all of the RED entries ONLY.
9. Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED entries.
10. REBOOT to complete the scan and clear memory.

Then, as always, have a scan with HijackThis to see if those pests are gone

hi SifuMike
I know I shouldn't mess about but I can't help being nosy.

I haven't changed anything, just looked

I opened C drive tools clicked "show hidden files and folders"

unticked "Hide extensions for known file types"

unticked "Hide protected operating system files"

There is a system file - hosts - created 10 Sep 2004 - modified 26 Sep 2009, the day it all went wrong. It shows all the 01hosts

The file is marked read only, cannot change this as "access is denied"

Gone back to C drive tools and reset default settings.

Don't know if this means anything to you.

Will carry out your latest suggestion

thanks

Just means that something is blocking access to Hosts file.

I'm running Spybot but when I click Immunize I get message "immunisation incomplete...there are 11176 items still unprotected"
Should I continue nevertheless?
Turned off Zone Alarm but still getting message

but when I click Immunize I get message "immunisation incomplete...there are 11176 items still unprotected

Let it complete. If it Immunization does not work the first time then do the imminization again.

It must complete to be effective.

Thanks SifuMike
It did complete after va few tries. Now running

Hi Rodasm,

After it completes the Immunizaiton, run Spybot to remove malware,
then reboot your computer and post a fresh Hijackthis log.

Hello SifuMike

Spybot found RegistryHelper HKLM\software\diskcleaner

Removed and rebooted

Sorry about this

Hi SifuMike
I'm totally lacking in finesse, my favourite tool for all probs is a big hammer or a kick lol
I was wondering if there is a way the blocked hosts file I referred, to can be blasted out of the water and a new hosts systems file put in its place which can be edited.
Don't worry about telling me I'm nuts if that's what you think

Hi Rodasm,

Don't worry about telling me I'm nuts if that's what you think

It wont work, we have seen this infection before.


Please make sure that Word Wrap is turned OFF in Notepad before you copy and paste the HijackThis log here.

Take a look at the log you just posted. It's an eye killer

Please post a fresh Hijackthis log.
