Okay, I'm going a tad insane here and I need help.

It started about a week ago when we installed HitMan Pro on the computer. My husband uses it at work and he wanted to try it at home. Since then, I haven't been able to access certain websites like MySpace and Gmail. The pages won't load at all and it stays at a blank page. I've uninstalled Hitman pro, uninstalled firefox, updated IE, downloaded a trail version of Microsoft's LiveOne Care program and its still not working. I haven't went back to restore the computer yet. I think this is a simple fix, but I cannot figure it out. Any tips, advance, help, is greatly appreciated. And if you need info from me, let me know and I'll do the best that I can.

Also, we've tried the ethernet cord into my laptop and we're able to access the websites in question, so its not the line, comcast, the router, or anything along those lines.

I've also tried the sites in question in two different web clients. And it now seems that this place is running a bit off too.

Checking the HOSTS file and Winsock LSPs may be a good idea; try posting a HijackThis log here (don't blindly click "fix" on anything)

HijackThis

That way we can prod though it to look for nasties.

Jesus you've got a lot of shit on your computer. Quicktime, Real, Acrobat and a bunch of things that have the most nonsensical names. As for your problem, I don't know what specifically is causing it but as said before, it could be your hosts file, which I forget it's location in Windows.

3 seconds of googling: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

posting the contents of that file will also be useful

This looks suspicious: (bolded the ones that aren't missing)


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8A64AC16-CB95-49F6-B1C5-BB9FA6B8A140} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\yayyVPJa.dll (file missing)

O20 - Winlogon Notify: tuvVpMGv - tuvVpMGv.dll (file missing)


Random filenames in system32 (no results in Google) are never a good thing, so I'd try to remove those files first and find what they're coming from ... 2 of them were even running as Rundll32.exe processes, try closing them.


Running QuickTime, RealPlayer and a dozen updaters/notifiers/schedulers/etc. isn't a big help either, but wouldn't cause serious problems so that's fine

While you're at it with IE, try running this.

See if that picks up anything.

I'd also wonder if maybe something in the Management/Services section that's screwing with it as a process always running...but looking at that list, I don't see anything that's suspicious for RUNNING processes.

Damnit...I lost the whole damn post!!! And it was long too. FUSK!

Okay, so I am running the scan that TJ posted about. I'll check and delete the files that Acmlm mentioned once the scan is over...which should be in about 3 hours.

I checked out the folder that Alex posted and I couldn't get the host file to open, so I took a screenshot of the folder, which is Here. Sorry for the size of the screenshot..I didn't think I would even be able to get it online to show in the first place.

Oh you gotta be shitting me....while running the scan, I tried my luck and I was able to log into gmail and check my mail....still, if there's crap on my computer, I want it off.

The hosts file is 233k? And what are all those backups of it?

Normally it shouldn't even be 1k, and never changes by itself (Windows uses it as a local DNS, but that's it) ... all it contains by default is a single line mapping localhost to 127.0.0.1, and some comment explaining how the file works ...


Open the file with Notepad (if it doesn't open at all, something is wrong), I'm guessing there's going to be quite a long list of host/IP mappings that got added, some of which could be causing specific sites to not work at all

Okay, after running the scan (twice) I get a blue screen error message. Something about dumping memory...I should have taken a screenshot of it, but I forgot to do so after I restarted the computer.

So I am NOT using that scan again....

I can't get into this thread with firefox (again) and I'mnot even sure I can post with IE (password, I don't think I know it..and since I am posting, I guess I was able to remember it).

Well, I opened the file and this is what I got..its long...very long.

I went ahead and saved it, link is HERE. Hopefully thats it.

Ok, that just seems to be Spybot adding a very long list of bad sites as 127.0.0.1 (to block access to them), so no problem there ...

I trashed spybot a few days ago.

And I looked for:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8A64AC16-CB95-49F6-B1C5-BB9FA6B8A140} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\yayyVPJa.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: {16642d11-fc8e-f95a-8b54-c36c5539182b} - {b2819355-c63c-45b8-a59f-e8cf11d24661} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\wydxxgpw.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {D2376FB3-3D0D-414D-83AA-3AD6AD6B111F} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\tuvVpMGv.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E302CE48-FB17-4572-8861-6A23BE9A5C8D} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\tuvSkIBT.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [d4644990] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\xbcirpiq.dll",b
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [BMd7577a0c] Rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\uboeoewc.dll",s
O20 - Winlogon Notify: tuvVpMGv - tuvVpMGv.dll (file missing)



And I only found uboeoewc.dll. It is getting late and I'm a bit PO'ed about this whole ordeal, so maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow. (If I have time that is)

And now I can check my e-mail again with Firefox. My computer is a dumb ass. Must take after the comps at work.

Those randomly named DLLs in system32 sound a lot like a Virtumonde virus to me...Spybot and Adaware should be able to remove most of them, as should a quick-fix in HJT. AVG or Pandascan can also sometimes remove them. If all else fails use a heavy-duty cleaner like Vundofix (likely will not work if you have the rootkit version) Or Combo Fix (finds the rootkit version as well as any other nasties you might not even know or think you have, HIGHLY recomended on a lot of tech forums)

I would personally suggest either SpyBot or Combofix, since Spybot gets things Adaware sometimes does not and Combo Fix is garunteed to get rid of most nasty things generally. Just make sure you are careful with it. It recomends having the Windows Recovery Console installed but if you make a restore point and know what you're doing...you shouldn't even need that.
