Recently posted an issue concerning what appears to be a virus that prevents me from accessing personal web space on eBay, PayPal etc.

Ran many virus detections (McAfee, Avast, AVG to try and located and bin - no joy todate).

Below is current log of registry - is there anything eroneous that could be causing the blockage?

Hello jdschof



If you don't already have it, download, install and run [url=http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/]AdAware SE Personal[/url].


Next, check for, and download any available updates:

1. click "[b][i]Check for updates now[/i][/b]".
2. Click "[b][i]Connect[/i][/b]".
3. If updates(definitions) are available click "[b][i]Ok[/i][/b]", otherwise, click "[b][i]Ok[/i][/b]".
4. Click "[b][i]Finish[/i][/b]".

-

Next, configure [b]AdAware[/b] to be as effective as possible:

1. Click the '[i]gear[/i]' in the upper-right hand corner of the [b]AdAware[/b] Window.
2. Click Scanning, and check(tick) the following:

[color=#336600]Scan within archives
Scan active processes
Scan registry
Deep-scan registry
Scan my IE Favorites for banned URLs
Scan my Hosts file[/color]

3. Click "[b][i]Tweak[/i][/b]".
4. Click "[b][i]Scanning Engine[/i][/b]", then check(tick) the following:

[color=#336600]Unload recognized proceses & modules during scan[/color]

5. Click "[b][i]Cleaning Engine[/i][/b]", then check(tick) then following:

>[color=#336600]Always try to unload modules before deletion
During removal, unload Explorer and IE if necessary
Let Winodws remove files in use at next reboot
Delete quarantined objects after retoring[/color]

6. Then click "[b][i]Proceed[/i][/b]"

-

Now, let [b]AdAware[/b] locate and remove anything it finds, by:

1. Click "[b][i]Start[/i][/b]".
2. Check(tick) "[b][i]perform full system scan[/i][/b]".
3. Click "[b][i]Next[/i][/b]".

-

Exit the program.

===============

Download, unzip to your desktop [url=http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html]CWShredder[/url] and run it, then:

1. Click "[b][i]Check For Update[/i][/b]" make sure your version is 2.14

([i]If an update isn't available, skip to step #4.[/i])

2. Click "[b][i]Click here to Download the upate[/i][/b]".
3. When the new version has been downloaded, click "[b][i]Save[/i][/b]".
4. Click "[b][i]Fix ->[/i][/b]"


===============

Go to [b]Add/Remove programs[/b] and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

[b][color=#ff0000]iMesh[/color][/b]
[b][color=#ff0000]iMesh Ad Support[/color][/b]

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any [i]personal[/i] or [i]system[/i] software.

===============

Now, let's open a [b]command prompt[/b] and unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

[b][color=#000099]regsvr32 /u[/color] [color=#ff0000]iMeshBHO.dll[/color][/b]
[b][color=#000099]regsvr32 /u[/color] [color=#ff0000]IMESHBAR.DLL[/color][/b]

It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save on the typing.

===============

Before we begin, let's move [b]HiJackThis[/b] to it's own folder; like [b]c:\HJT[/b]. When we're done '[i]cleaning[/i]' off your system, we're going to '[i]flush[/i]' the temporary folders which, with [b]HiJackThis[/b] [color=#ff0000][i]in it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later[/i][/color].

Also move the "[b][i]Backups[/i][/b]" folder, for [b]HiJackThis[/b], if present.

===============

Run [b]HiJackThis[/b] and click "[b][i]Scan[/i][/b]", then check(tick) the following, if present:


[color=#9933cc][b] O2 - BHO: DownloadRedirect Class - {00000000-6CB0-410C-8C3D-8FA8D2011D0A} - C:\Program Files\iMesh\iMesh5\iMeshBHO.dll [/b][/color]

Now, with all windows closed except [b]HiJackThis[/b], click "[b][i]Fix checked[/i][/b]".

===============

Locate and [color=#ff0000][i]delete the following item(s)[/i][/color], if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

[b]C:\Program Files\[color=#ff0000]iMesh[/color][/b]
[b]C:\Program Files\[color=#ff0000]iMeshBar[/color][/b]
[b]C:\PROGRA~1\[color=#ff0000]DAP[/color][/b]

-

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're '[i]in use[/i]', try deleting them from "[url=http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam]Safe Mode[/url]".

===============

Post back a new log, and let me know how everything goes.

Hi Lobos, many thanks for your helpful advice, prior to your message I had actually removed imesh and Download Accelerator as I thought they could be to blame.

I have followed each and every step as you suggest and attached is the revised HiJack log; does this look any healthier?

Incidentally, I performed all the actions in safe mode; was this correct?

Regards
