IE redirected wgen every new web address entered

hi, first let me say how geat i think this site and the knowledgable people here are! i know you can help me, please do.

ok when i enter a new address into my IE address box i am redirected to a search engine:

http://www.smart-finder.biz/www.nomore.com

afterwards the history drop down box shows this:

www.nkvd.us/www.no more.com

my homepage is also redirected:

http://www.nkvd.us/s.htm.

clearly it is a trojan attack. i foolishly did some file sharing before i had my norton antivirus updated and installed a firewall. i have run adaware, got nothing. my norton shows a lot of activity, unfortunately i cant cut and paste it to show you but i think the trojan is called ByteVerify. as it shows several deletions for this one, probably it is being saved somewhere and getting back on to the system. of course i'm no expert, thats why i need you guys to put me right.

i ran cw shredder and this is my log file:

That could be part or all of the problem. Also, a google turned up some interesting results about BackWeb-8876480.exe

i think it would be adware. special offering from logitech? meh....i wouldnt delete it, or your mouse may not work :)


slick

crom,

This is a browser hijack and it is also written into your registry. Use www.google.com and type in nkvd.us and then click on google search, and you will find tons of info on how to remove it.

edit: here's some help, other folks have had the same problem, read the links below.

cheers

hi thanks for the advice, i have removed the lines listed and did a google search for the info it gave me lots, im quite confused, i found this, i dont understand how to do it, can anyone explain_

Additional line in StartupList log:
Enumerating ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad items:
DDE Control Module: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\mtwirl32.dll

This variant was surprisingly smart: it used two startup methods (ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad and SharedTaskScheduler) that have to be the absolutely rarely used ones seen ever - and it used them differently on Windows 9x/ME and Windows NT/2k/XP. On top of that, both methods ensure that the file is loaded when Explorer is loaded, making it always in memory like CWS.Msconfd. Additionally, the actual responsible files are invisible in HijackThis, and only one shows in a StartupList logfile (ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad). The responsible file is mtwirl32.dll, and to delete it manually you need to rename it (deleting is impossible since it is in use), restart the system, and then delete the file and its Registry key.



here is my new log file log file anything else i need to remove?

to be honest im none to confident about this stuff and if anyone could give me a walkthrough id be grateful

crom,

That particular step may not apply to you. Did you check your computer to see if that file existed and have you tried IE to see if it works properly now?

see, thats why i need you! IE seems to work ok now, but the advice i got from the google search says it often comes back on restart, cant do one for the moment, i searched for the file and it didnt exist. once again thanks for the help, ill post again if the prob comes back

Here are a few things I noticed... although you say the problem seems resolved for now....if not try the following :D

1)You need to put HijackThis into its own folder, otherwise you'll end up littering your desktop with backup files. To do so:
Click My Computer, then C:\
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis". Now you have C:\HJT\ folder. Put your HijackThis.exe there, and double click to run it.

2) fix the following: they are not needed and/or harmful:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DXDllRegExe] dxdllreg.exe -not needed running @ startup
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [LDM] C:\Program Files\Logitech\Desktop Messenger\8876480\Program\BackWeb-8876480.exe - not needed running @ startup
O4 - Global Startup: BTTray.lnk = ? only a link (.lnk) seems broken - fix it
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE- fix - unnecessary & slows pc down
O16 - DPF: {2119776A-F1AD-4FCD-9548-F1E1C615350C} (AxOOdlz Class) - http://www.stop-sign.com/pub/download/stop-sign_stp.cab - This one is harmful!!

3) Do you know what these are? :confused: They’re not showing up on any of my sources:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SRFirstRun] rundll32 srclient.dll,CreateFirstRunRp ??????
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [EanthologyApp] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\EACCEL~1\eanthology.exe /b Startup edit - this is adware! remove it. see http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/e/eanthology.asp for more info

edit2: I can't spell today lol

hey thanks great advice, anyone see any other probs or unnecessary stuff please let me know.i didn't get rid of
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SRFirstRun] rundll32 srclient.dll,CreateFirstRunRp ??????
best hang on till i know what it does.

I believe BackWeb-8876480.exe is a Kodak process.
