Thread: Belgian dip

  1. #1

    Belgian dip

    Has anyone had this? I ran a search but didn't find anything. It's some sort of intrusive app that gives me popups and shuts the internet off all the time, i'm literally half expecting it to close down as i type this, it's really annoying.

    Anyway, here's my hiijack this logs, can anyone give me advice on what to shut down if they've dealt with this before? Google gives a few things but i haven't found the info to remove it yet, and i've ran ad-aware, spybot, cw shredder and have hitware elite, spyware blaster and a sygate firewall.

    As a quick suggestion, start SpyBot in "advanced" mode then go into "tools" and look at BHOs and all the other bits. You mat well find stuff that you don't need. If you delete it and need it, you will only be prompted for a re-install?

    Pretty safe IMHO

    Also run the "immunise" facility in SpyBot

    Cheers

    appears to be Booked Space adware.

    Here's Symantec's answer

    Good luck

    Yes, have seen this recently on a home machine (not mine) and I read somewhere that the latest Adaware signatures will detect this.

    I analyzed the javascript that runs and sniffed the traffic when going to the site and it does appear to be ad/spyware.

    You'll want to watch for anyone going to the following sites:
    www.undergroundlair.net
    belgiumdip.com
    ugl.adtrak.net

    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

    Thanks Whatthe and ric-o, i checked the Symantec site and deleted the keys from the registry, but then.............(spooky noise in the background)..............i was just about to finish on the PC and Sygate came up and said that the computer was trying to connect to Underground lair, so i still have something there. (before it was trying to connect to Belgian dip, arrgh just typing the name winds me up)

    I got something from lavasoft, but it was a small file that i put in the same folder as ad-aware and it hasn't done anything. Is there a way you have to add the latest signatures to ad-aware or do you just put it in the same folder?

    The good thing about these things is that they encourage you to learn about your registry etc, the bad thing is the waves of frustration as they re-appear like phantoms to haunt you.

    (takes deep breath)

    I use the update feature of Adaware - it's the "Check for updates now" link right above the START button in v6.

    ok this is an old post now but since groovicus brought it to my attention, I feel the need to point out a few other things I see in the log.

    this one doesn't need to be running, it's not bad but I'd disable via msconfig
    C:\WINDOWS\LOADQM.EXE
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadQM] loadqm.exe
    ---
    same goes for this.. but see here
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WMIEXE.EXE
    there is a W32.Torun virus that can infect this but I think this is not the case here.
    ---
    these are a part of the pup virus
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\QLWOAS.EXE
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QLWOAS] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\QLWOAS.exe
    ---
    get rid of this
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {000020DD-C72E-4113-AF77-DD56626C6C42} - (no file)

    this is part of Hitware Popup Killer Lite-- you can uninstall this app if you don't get popups.. or if you get the googletoolbar
    O2 - BHO: RUPK - {604B283A-4E26-4504-98E7-72859F949547} - C:\PROGRA~1\HITWAR~2\SYPCMS.DLL

    whatthe already mentioned these
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0019C3E2-DD48-4A6D-ABCD-8D32436323D9} - C:\WINDOWS\BXXS5.DLL

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [bxxs5] RunDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\BXXS5.DLL,DllRun
    ---

    of course once the entries are fixed and you reboot, you should delete the bad files

    Belgiandip??

    Has anyone got this? I think it is a spyware. I bought Spy Sweeper and it finds it but I can't get it to delete it. It just keeps coming back. Any help would be great. Thanks , Paul
