Pop Up Blocker

[stefanus]

I am looking for a free pop up blocker. Any suggestions! Sorry guys! I used my eyes and brain and found one right here :o

Thanx

[Budfred]

Which one did you find??

I use FireFox which does it quite well... I have also heard very good things about Google Toolbar...

[stefanus]

I found Pop Up Manager from Sylvander in a previous thread 2003/4 Thanx but am going to try google also. I keep getting porn pop ups, even whilst being logged on here, how they got in I do not know, the application I have is not stopping them. And my web browser has changed to gopher and I cannot delete that also. So will now try google.

Thanx
ps I cannot access hjt. I do not have a zip file installed, but have never had a prob useing hjt form your links

[PrntRhd]

If you have XP/2000 and never tried Ewido before on that PC, try running that one. Sounds more serious than just popup ads.

[stefanus]

OS is windows`98SE. Would love to use Ewido, but will not down load below win2000 Any suggestions for a free winzip down load. I had one 7Zip I think. Cannot understand why I cannot open HJT!!! I have been in Zambia for over 3 months I even used it there on a friends pc, down loaded from here.

[PrntRhd]

TrojanHunter is about it for 98.

Also could try Stinger tool in SAFE mode to see if it is viral.

[stefanus]

I have located HJT from Meirijn an exe file so will try and open it. I use AVG for viruses @ start up. Have just completed Adaware and Spybot they found between them 42 items and that is the 2nd scan in 24hrs but the re-appear in my Start> programs after changing from online to off and back ??? :mad:

Thanx will run TH and Stinger, think I stinger on a floppy.

I think gopher is also a prob???
Thanx for help

[david eaton]

You are using an outdated version of Hijack this. The current version can be downloaded from here (http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip)

[stefanus]

Tried to download it David, but tries to open in My Docs` and is just gibberish!!!
I am useing mozilla firefox @ the moment. If I try IE, all the rubish starts opening again because of Gopher I think. Incidently. I did not down load Gopher.

[david eaton]

The file you downloaded is a zip file. It should open with Winzip/Winrar. that will give an EXe file which can be run

[Budfred]

Here is a list of Zip file managers that you can use to unZip the HJT file...

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7231,00.asp

This is a rogue program... I suggest uninstalling it ASAP...

SpywareCleaner

And without really analyzing your log, I suggest fixing these with HJT:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = http://www.gophersearch.com/
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.gophersearch.com/
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.gophersearch.com/
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.gophersearch.com/
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.gophersearch.com/
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.gophersearch.com/

Then post a log from the latest version...

[stefanus]

Thanx for the Zip links. I have fixed gopher 5 or 6 times, but as soon as I try to access IE, wooossshhh it is back again with it`s familiars. It completely dominates IE. Whe I fix Gopher IE shows an *About Blank* in the address bar.

[stefanus]

Here is the latest log after fixing Gopher yet again!!

I down loaded HJT from Davids link after installing WinZip!

Thanx!

[Sylvander]

You MUST try "UltimateZip" for free from www.ultimatezip.com/

This thing is SOooo easy to use [I found Winzip a bit of a pain]. :D

e.g. You right-click on a zip file and choose "Extract to here...", or "Extract to...".

And it seems to handle every kind of archive file.

[Budfred]

O16 - DPF: {DAB941D8-BC94-4819-AB4D-5598C65FA3FE} (iiittt Class) - http://tb.searchitquick.com/v30/siq.cab

Close all open windows except HJT and press Fix checked...

Find and delete this folder:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYWARE CLEANER

Reboot and run CCleaner to clean out Temp files:

http://www.ccleaner.com/

Then try running an MWavScan... It will produce a log in the lower window that has the bad list and you will need to use Ctrl-C to copy it and then paste it here for review.... If the list is extremely long, you can just paste the lines that begin with the word "File" since those are the ones we need to be most concerned about...

http://www.mwti.net/products/mwav/mwav.asp

It will suggest that you buy the product to fix what it finds, but that is not necessary... Just post the bad part of the scan and we will deal with it...

Reboot again and post a fresh HJT log and the MWavScan...

[stefanus]

Thanx for the link Sylvander. Budfred I will do it now, much obliged.

[stefanus]

Hope this helps

Stephanus,
I believe the answer will be yes for CCleaner.

The files Budfred needs for MWAV are the ones at the bottom of the list beginning with File.

[stefanus]

Done, but cannot find: C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYWARE CLEANER???

[Budfred]

It is possible that the folder was already deleted and the HJT item was a leftover Registry entry... Don't worry about it for now, but we still need the MWavScan File items...

[stefanus]

Thanx! The entry above is the MWAV scan, the only ones that I found with File/s entry. ACLFile, AWFile, COLFile etc. There is on the right window a message saying 4 viruses found also. But with my limited knowledge I cannot identify them. What do you suggest??

[stefanus]

[Budfred]

Thanx! The entry above is the MWAV scan, the only ones that I found with File/s entry. ACLFile, AWFile, COLFile etc. There is on the right window a message saying 4 viruses found also. But with my limited knowledge I cannot identify them. What do you suggest??
I am sorry, but I don't quite understand... The logs you posted seem to be fine... I don't see any viruses... Your HJT log looks okay too... Are you having any problems??

[stefanus]

Yes I do have a problem! Since Gopher took over IE, and all the porn pop ups started, I cannot load IE any more and since removeing Gopher the pop ups have stopped. How gopher got into my pc, I do not know. Closeing down my pc takes for ever and some times freezes, also changing forums. Another thing is the centre of a window, running horizontly across the screen becomes distorted when changeing when moveing from say PC Guide to Tom Coyote etc.

[Budfred]

Okay, try a SilentRunners log:

Please download SilentRunners from here:
http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.zip
Unzip it to the desktop and double-click on it. If you get any kind of warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run. When the scan is finished, it will create a logfile on the desktop. Please post the entire contents of this logfile for me to see.

[stefanus]

Thanx for help and patience. Will do it now!

[stefanus]

Cannot open silentrun. It redirects me to wini9x which also will not down load ??? Deleted mozilla and firefox, still cannot enable IE. It opens but in the address bar it reads *Blank Page.

[Budfred]

It is getting harder and harder to work with Win98x....

I don't remember if this applies to Win98... Try it and see if it works...

Please go to Start -> Run -> cmd and press Enter. At the command prompt type sfc /scannow, making sure to put a space between the "c" and the slash, and then press Enter. This will run the System File Checker. Follow the prompts, and insert your Windows installation CD if requested. Then please restart your computer.

If it doesn't work, you could try reinstalling IE...

[stefanus]

I eventually had to re-install IE. Incidently! The forum where I think I got the problem initially, has since crashed because of being hacked! It was a legit site for people ex South African and Zimbabwe with a suspect link/s I think.

Thanx all for the assistance and in particular Budfred! ;)
