I use this HouseCall in safemode.
If it's facebook related, then remove application permission from facebook.

Hi, Eucliwood.

Let's see what we can do about this damn malware...
First, run HijackThis and post or link the log. Please do not fix checked options if you're not sure what they are about. Let's hope we can find what we need in this log.

By the way... Can you see hidden files in your computer? (just to be sure it's not one of those ridiculously annoying viruses that get themselves hidden and don't let you see or access their attributes)

Thank you for posting.

At first glance, you can clear all the lines from O1 to O3, especially if you don't use Internet Explorer, unless you find something you believe it's useful (like Hotspot Shield).
This line from my log, for instance...

O2 - BHO: G-Buster Browser Defense - {C41A1C0E-EA6C-11D4-B1B8-444553540000} - C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\GBPLUGIN\gbieh.dll

Is from my internet banking plugin, so I'm absolutely sure I have to keep this (and it is the only one I have, in fact).

O4 labeled lines are programs being initialized at startup. You could clean all of them as well, unless you really want one of those programs to start with Windows (like Skype). This one specifically caught my attention:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WinDefender] C:\Users\Eier\AppData\Local\Temp\WinDefender.exe

As far as I know, Windows Defender is supposed to be an antispyware software from Microsoft, but I'm sure it was not designed to run from your Temp folder.

I'll search about the rest of the lines, but you may safely clean all those I mentioned above. I'm not sure if this will be enough to fix your problem, but might be the first step.

Off topic but, I really recommend not using toolbars ^_^;;

Anyway..I copy pasta your logfile here and here, there are many websites that offer Hijackthis analyzer. But from your results, the only thing that is needed to be fixed is your Ask Toolbar entry I'm not sure if it can remove the worm though. Here's a helpful tutorial on how to read your logfile if you want to manually analyze it yourself.

Have you tried putting USB pen drives (flash disk) on your PC before that happened?

 

[Hanagai]

Have you tried putting USB pen drives (flash disk) on your PC before that happened?

yes, but i dont have any programs on my USB. just pictures and text files.

 

[Evac]

Thank you for the links and guide, Sakimichi!
Indeed, Eucliwood, toolbars are really useless and I do believe they were installed unintentionally (gotta pay more attention when you're installing new programs... xD).

I can safely say that Ask toolbar is not the only problem with your log, but most of my suggestions on the previous post were for optimization purposes. Removing programs from startup and removing unimportant dll entries will reduce the OS initialization time and give you more free memory. But that Windows Defender application running at startup is definitely suspicious and I believe it may be related to the malware you're looking for... Try fixing at least this one and running a full scan.

Also, you probably noticed the fair amount of entries with (file missing) in the end, right? These are not broken and don't need to be fixed. This is because of some chaos on Windows API the programmers didn't bother to fix. A few more function calls and this "problem" would be solved.

 

[Hanagai]

thanks for the help mate

 

[Evac]

Was this enough to solve your problem? If it was, I do hope these worms won't be reappearing anymore! :)

 

[Legend]

If it didnt help try to download Ad-Aware(its free, theres also a paid version but the free version works just as good as the paid version) and Spybot S&D (Search and destroy) that will solve ur problem i think!:D
