Access to the specific device,path or file is denied?

[DenverDan]

hey guys whenever I try to go to anything in my control panel I get Access to the specific device,path or file is denied...I am wondering how would I go about fixing this and if it is a virus or one of those all too common win9x bugs..I would just reinstall win9x but I dunno how to save all the shortcuts in the start>programs> area :\..knowing when u cleanly reinstall that all goes away as well as the quick launch icons. Any help would be great :D I have also tried running norton antivirus and turned up nothing.

I am running a

win9x
athlon xp 1800+
Geforce 5600 FX
512mb SDRam
80gb maxtor hdd
Sound Blaster 5.1

RECOVER USING BACKUPS
The easy way to recover from all software [including configuration] problems [without even having to discover the cause], is:

1) As you proceed forward in time, make backups of everything on your C: drive.
Do this at regular intervals, particularly before making software changes [un/installing programs or changing configuration] and keep a log of all this.
2) When you hit trouble caused by a bad configuration change and no hardware or software changes have been made, use "scanreg /restore" [in Win98] to restore a previous good configuration.
3) When the trouble involves more than just the configuration, but involves the files [including the configuration perhaps] but no harware has been changed [this is important because the software must match the hardware], then:
----------------------------------------------------------
Re-format the C: drive and restore your latest good backup.
----------------------------------------------------------
The software will "jump back" to the way it was when the PC worked.

It helps if you keep the C: drive "lean & mean".
I move as much as possible off the C: drive.
The "Windows" & "Program Files" folders account for 95% of the used space on my C: drive.
All the data that changes day by day are re-homed on another physical drive [although another partition would do].
When I "jump back" I still have up to date:
a. My Documents.
b. E-mails for all identities.
c. Internet Explorer Favourites.
d. Temporary Internet Files.
e. I have not yet found a way to re-home the Microsoft Address Book so I keep a backup of that with the others. It's normal home [in Win98] is C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book.

It could be the effect of spyware, hijacker or trojan. Try running Spybot and/or AdAware and fix things they indicate are a problem. With Spybot that would be the things with the red checkmark. If it still doesn't work, you could run HijackThis and submit the log here to be analyzed...

To run HJT, extract it to a permanent folder such as C:\Documents or one you create like C:\HJT. Close all browsers and make sure that all programs are enabled if you use msconfig. Run it and Scan, then Save the log. When the log window appears, Right click to Copy it, open your browser and come here to Paste the log in a Reply. Do not make any changes until it is checked since most items are either benign or essential to the computer.

Well I did what ya said and heres the results:

I hope this helps :P

[Budfred]

Well, to start you have a CoolWebSearch infestation.... The good news is that it can probably get cleaned out pretty easily. Use the link at the bottom of my post to download CWShredder and run it. Choose to Fix rather than to simply Scan. Record the log so that you can post it here when you return.

Reboot and run HJT again, open your browser and come here to post the fresh log so that we can see if there is anything else there that will still need to be fixed...

[DenverDan]

I have found my pc running a bit faster after this

but I still find myself getting the access denied messege..I have attached a screen shot.

[Budfred]

You still have some cleanup to do, hopefully that will take care of remaining problems....

You have the peper trojan which needs special attention...

1. Use the uninstall tool - download from: http://home.iprimus.com.au/mbuchan/peperuninst.exe Double click on uninst.exe, let it run and terminate.

2. Delete all the associated files with drpeper - download from http://www.mjc1.com/files/mo/drpeper.html. Double click drpepertobackup, it will self extract to C:. With the text in the box highlighted and the 'overwrite' existing files checked, click start.

3. Go to the file C:\drpeper\Find backup and Delete Peper files.vbs and double click.

4. A box will appear, copy and paste: SAYTORPVXOBRUJ.exe and hit ok.

5. A second box will appear, copy and paste SAYTORPVXOBRUJ.exe and hit ok.

6. It will find all the files, delete them and will make backups in the same folder. It'll open a text file (Peper.txt) with the list of all files deleted. Make sure it is saved. Copy the contents of the Peper.txt file - the next stage will be to remove the rest of the bad stuff.

Open HJT again and fix:

Then reboot, run HJT again, open your browser and post the Peper log and HJT log here to see if we got everything this time...

[DenverDan]

step 1 worked but it seems the link for step 2 doesnt work :\

[Paul Komski]

Once your garbage has been cleared up and if you are still getting the access denied message have a read of this (http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBB/tip0600/rh0610.htm) as a possible resolution.

[DenverDan]

ok when i get to the part where i paste SAYTORPVXOBRUJ.exe in dr.peper app it says the file does not exist, yet when I go to the windows folder i see SAYTORPVXOBRUJ.exe clear as day..Any ideas on this one?

[Budfred]

That link didn't work for me either, how did you find it?? This should be the correct link: http://www.mjc1.com/files/mo/drpeper.html

Anyway, it isn't a big problem if that second attempt to enter that file doesn't work, just post the Peper log and latest HJT log and we'll see if it is taken care of... If not, I need to do some more digging because this is a newer variant of peper...

[DenverDan]

I didnt get a peper log because it would keep asking me to try again when it said it couldnt find the file in windows..As for finding the second link i just put drpeper in on the google search and a link popped up very similar to the one you posted..it seems I still have access denied to my cp icons..

[Budfred]

Yep, you have CWS again and I miscounted on the peper thing... Peper trojan files have 14 characters that the file you have has 15... This is probably just a randomly generated name for some nasty, so lets try to use HJT to fix it...

First, run CWShredder again and copy the results so you can post them here later. Then run HJT and fix:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [XOLLKAPEXXXDNBV] C:\WINDOWS\QPPUBSWKKKXREQ.exe

Then reboot into Safe Mode and look in C:\Windows for any files with random names of 15 characters and delete them...

Next reboot and run HJT, open your browser and post the new log and the CWShredder results here...

[DenverDan]

ok i went into safe mode and found no files with 15 charsthe only two that i did find had 14 they are...RSETWARYTUBXQU and QPPUBSWKKKXREQ


I got rid of 4 files with CWShredder and here is the HJT log

[DenverDan]

...also SAYTORPVXOBRUJ.exe is now gone from the windows folder

[Budfred]

Well, it looks clean, how is it running??? I am still concerned about those random file names, but if it isn't giving you any problems, we can probably figure they are dealt with. If you are still having problems, post a new log and I will enlist some other experts to figure out what is going on....

I am assuming you deleted the random files you found??

[DenverDan]

I havent deleted them I am going to do that now as I am still after we have reached the end of our little quest am having access denied..I am wondering if somehow something in the registry got jumbled around causing this error..

[DenverDan]

ok have deleted those 2 random files and nothing with the cp has changed...Def gonna take some investigating

[DenverDan]

Ok with a little bir of homework I found out I had no run32dll.exec these trojans and whatnot had replaced it with a ghost 0kb one instead so i ripped the real one off the win9x cd and place it where it needed to be and all is back to normal :P...I thank you guys for helping me out on this one as it was plenty irritating...I also here by nominate Budfred for the nobel peace price LOL...Until next time :D

[Budfred]

Thank you for the honor, but I am going to have to give any credit to my teachers, I am still a student myself....

Meanwhile, I am worried that those random files could have caused more damage and I am curious about how you discovered the issue with the Rundll32.exe files... It would probably be a good idea to post another HJT log to make sure nothing has attacked again.

Also, you need to make sure your system is protected so you don't have to start over again. You need a good firewall, antivirus and a program like SpywareBlaster to prevent future spyware infestation...

[DenverDan]

Well I dont know jack about firewall as i am on aol and i got norton antivirus and here is the link i researched to find out what to do about the rundll32...something so simple yet with devistating ends

http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/t1072222611

Most of what I know on computers is just self taught over the course of 8 years or so since i was 13..But I am a bit more protected against these things with the software you have provided..I'll see if I can maybe run some more tests to see if those random kiddie programmer files have done anything more to my system..As far as I can tell my system is running faster then it has in some time now.. here's that log just to be sure :P thx again bud.

You can go to mjc's security thread (http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15179) to find links to some free firewalls. I recommend either Kerio or Sygate...

SpywareBlaster is good to protect against most spyware, but you do have to update it occasionally after you get it set up. It is a good idea to run Spybot and/or AdAware occasionally as well to protect against things that might slip through, especially things that might be embedded in a program you install.

With the AV, make sure you keep it updated.

You log still looks clean so it would be a good idea to tighten up your security before the vermin farmers have a chance to get back on your system...:eek: :rolleyes: :)

[mjc]

Also, if you just dumped those files into the Recycle Bin, would you please retrieve one and zip it, then submit it to here (submissions@mjc1.com)?

[DenverDan]

sent ;)

[mjc]

Got 'em...and guess what, they are new....
