Popups Galore

by **Craigular.B** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 12:39 am

Hey everyone...Haven't posted in here in a while!

I've been getting all these popups when I'm running the comp, even when I'm not on IE. There's a couple various entries they leave in my IE history, there's an EXE in my startup that refuses to be removed ("mdoi.exe", full path of "C:\Program Files\oeoa\mdoi.exe"), and every time I delete it and it's folder, it comes back, even after attempting to clean it from the Registry. I've got a HJT log, whatever you guys can find on there would be most helpful!

Thanks in advance guys.

sounds like your typical trojan archive regenerating files as they are deleted............

If you want to do this yourself - Turn OFF system restore - Reboot to SafeMode w/Networking - update all your AV and security programs and run scans in the safemode. Also go to TrendMicro and Panda online free AV scanners

by **RRCinci** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 2:47 am

Yeah...you need some serious help! I've been compiling a list of some of the free good scanners/scans and have come up with these off the top of my head....

Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.4

Ad-Aware

CWShredder

Download the trail version of Spysweeper (14 days):

http://www.webroot.com

Downlaod the trail version of NOD32 antivirus:

http://www.eset.com

install both.......
boot into Safe mode.......
run spysweeper and nOD in safe mode.
Run Spysweeper 5 times in a row....in safe mode.

PS: MAKE SURE you look into your add/remove programs and if newdotnet (new.net) is in the list the uninstall it and reboot again......

If you let Spysweeper remove new.net without uninstalling it first then there is a chance of you not getting back on the internet until you run winsockfix.................

by **kd1966** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 3:13 am

Yeah, I guess I forgot to mention to look at the Add/Remove programs and get rid of anything "suspicious" before going into scan mode (In safemode, of course). Very true, if you kill a bad prog without running the uninstall, bad things can happen later..........

by **Craigular.B** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 1:32 am

Ok, I downloaded and ran the SpySweeper demo (in Safe Mode, of course), except it won't let me clean anything. You need a subscription, and I really don't feel like paying $30 for this one thing.

I did write down the names of the biggest threats the scan came up with though. They were 180search assistant/zango, lopdotcom, and purityscan.

As for the NOD anti-virus, I already have AVG 7 Free installed, and I don't want to install another AV for fear of conflicts between the two programs.

Today I ran SpyBot S&D once, Ad-Aware twice, and Microsoft AntiSpyware twice in Safe Mode, all with the latest updates. However, I can see that "mdoi.exe" is still an active process in the Task Manager.

For more info, I'm posting a HJT log from today. If there's anything that should be fixed, please let me know! Thanks guys for the help!

EDIT: I've looked in the Add/Remove Programs window, and I can account for everything installed, except for "WinPcap 3.1 beta3" and "MSXML 4.0 SP2 Parser and SDK". However, I've seen vague mentions to WinPcap in other places, so that won't go unless someone tells me it should, and I'm guessing that the MSXML thing is so IE can read XML docs...But again, if someone disagrees, let me know and they're gone!

With the AntiVirus, NOD32 has never missed a virus, ever. You might want to uninstall your previous AV, and just try this one... I searched the net, and this thread is the only one that mentions the file mdoi.exe ...

by **kd1966** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 4:29 am

also note............. NEVER install a new AV program on a "dirty" system, especially over the top of another perviously installed AV program. And if you're going to uninstall the old AV prog, still don't put the new one on until the system is clean

by **NT50** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 5:52 am

I just looked at my past emails and Spysweeeper trail has eliminated the deleting of the spyware etc. They just detect it and want you to buy it. There is another program you might look into but i can not mention due to being blocked from ProNET. you may PM me and I will link you to another program. sorry I can not do so for now. I respect the people at ProNet and will not break the rules.

Ok guys, I've got an update on this issue.

AVG found a virus in !update.exe in my temp folder today, and I deleted the file. Pop-ups are still comin', however.

I downloaded BPS's Adware and Spyware remover, and ran it in Safe Mode. However, like Spy Sweeper, it won't remove them if you don't pay for it. I did take a screencap of the results, though, and have them online <a href="http://www.geocities.com/downunder567/untitled.jpg"> here:<img src="http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/images/smiles/screenshot.jpg" border="0"></a>

I'm most concerned about Backdoor.Rtkit.B, because I'm guessing it's a rootkit, and have no idea how to take it out.

And a side note, does anyone know any free malware progs besides Spybot, Ad-Aware, and MS AntiSpyare that actually let you delete things and are pretty good? The reason I ask is because none of these programs have detected the stuff in the screenshot.
