Koroush is losing the battle - GoFuckYourself.com

SteveLightspeed · 06-19-2004, 12:55 AM

I decided to clean my main computer of viruses and spyware. It proved too frustrating for me so I called in Koroush as a hired gun. He's been working on it now for 3.5 hours, and its starting to look like even his magic touch won't excorcize the demons from my computer.

There are some damn good spyware coders out there... scary!

most of these "spyware companies" are single hackers/coders from 3rd world coutries.

Mutt · 06-19-2004, 01:28 AM

and the lawsuits won't be filed against them - there are plenty of bigger fish with assets to go after.

Man o man

I spent a total of 5 hours.

Spybot, adaware....pest control...spy sweeper...Nothing works.

It shows up in Hijack This...Hosts files are fine ....this is a Dirty one!

I went in the registry and cleaned everything...I went in safe mode and cleaned everything...still there

I came home and did some more research ...and I think I have it figured out...it was just too late and steve needed his beauty sleep

I WILL fix your machine!

Mutt · 06-19-2004, 03:04 AM

be careful, i totally fucked my machine removing spyware - something i did provoked a virus into action and locked me out - $350 and 3 days to get the box back.

Mutt · 06-19-2004, 03:05 AM

Kouroush what's the name of the files you can't remove?

there are some excellent boards out there that cover pretty much any virus or spyware out there.

There is no way I am going to get locked out !!!!

I will run the drive as a Slave and pull all the info off and reinstall windows if I have to...I am the guy you take your machine to and pay 350 to fix it

I have tried Cool Web Search shredder BTW.

Subject: Home Search Assistent

Reply:
I had the pervasive little creation of some moron's making and could not eliminate it with any virus software or spyware removal prog. It also messed up my search programs. This put three new apps in my Add/Remove list...Home Search Assistent, Search Extender, and Shopping Wizard. To remove it I kinda got an idea from this forum of what to look for (thanks!!!), ran a 'Find' using the date feature (I had a clear idea of how far back to go because it was hijacking my browser) and found 16 exes, 8 dlls, 28 dats (all in either Windows or Windows/System) and a suspicious folder named 'ieki'. Most files were 5 digit jibberish, but some were longer ie 'ywnyqa.dat'. I highlighted all of them straight from the Find window and used a shredder to delete and wipe (not all were removed!) and went straight to my registry prog to clean out obsolete entries. Ran a new 'Find' and was left with three exes...iexm32.exe, apizo32.exe and ntcj.exe. I had to use an uninstaller (Cybermedia) that cleans the registry at the same time as deleting these files and reboots after each deletion because they were set in start-up (kill first with Ctrl-Alt-Del). You also have to be careful to view what is being deleted because it attached itself to other registry settings, one of which was my virus protection program...I just clicked off the deletion of those particular entries. Last I used 'Your Uninstaller' to 'force' delete the entries in Add/Remove for Home Search Assistent etc and used Spybot S&D to reset entries for seach engines...the bad ones were 'res:\\...dll'. Phew...no more problems or hijacking! PS: I also had a similar file named 'd3ym32.exe, but it's completely gone...all I have left is to reinstall my search program because it was rendered useless.

I would say the lack of spyware on apples does nothing to bolster its alleged superiorty, but rather enumerates it's obsoleteness.
