CPU Usage out of control....

Postby dhrun » Mon Sep 06, 2004 7:47 pm

Well, something is frying my computer speed. First there was a pair of files: "rasdns.exe". Ending the process under task manager did nothing as it started right back up. I searched for it: A stuffit file was in WINDOWS/Prefetch, and an application was in WINDOWS/AppPatch. I ran Hijack This, but although it said the files were deleted, they were not. So I started up in safe mode and was able to delete them.

However, a brand new set of files appeared, this time called regav.exe. Again, the stuffit was in WINDOWS/Prefetch - this time the application was hidden away in WINDOWS/Fonts. I deleted them.

Next came "wms.exe"; the current one is "olecab.exe," as showing in my log.

I have no idea what to do - neither Norton nor my anti-spyware ad-aware, spybot) programs can figure out what is causing these applications to spontaneously generate, and a panda online scan turned up no infections. My computer is at a stand-still unless I run on safe mode.

I am assuming something trojan in my registry is causing this, but what do I know? Here's the log from my latest Hijackthis.....

Hey dhrun...

Press Ctrl/Alt/Del and "End Task" or "End Process" on each of the following: (They may or may not be there)

ViewMgr.exe
olecab.exe
tgkill.exe

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.) Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:


R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = http://localhost;
O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {3EC8E271-FAB9-418a-8A8E-65AEB4029E64} - C:\DOCUME~1\Jobu\LOCALS~1\Temp\yalpbd.dat (file missing)
O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {72AC6865-B1D3-4C32-A27B-4B3BF04DE655} - C:\DOCUME~1\Jobu\LOCALS~1\Temp\bacelo.dat (file missing)
O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {F32F8ECD-6CF3-459D-82F2-9738392C85A8} - C:\DOCUME~1\Jobu\LOCALS~1\Temp\sndsar.dat (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [olecab] C:\WINDOWS\java\Packages\olecab.exe

The next are optional, but recommended for removal,Resource hogs and not needed on startup, but does not disable the program:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UpdReg] C:\WINDOWS\UpdReg.EXE --->NOT NEEDED at STARTUP<---
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime --->NOT NEEDED AT STARTUP<---

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ComcastSUPPORT] C:\Program Files\Support.com\bin\tgkill.exe /cleaneahtioga /start --->THIS IS BETA VER AND NOT NEEDED<---


Go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove the
following if they are there:


tgkill
cleaneahtioga
ViewMgr
Viewpoint

Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab) (You may have to boot to "Safe Mode" in order to delete some Files/Folders)

C:\Program Files\Support.com\bin\tgkill.exe
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe

Now, empty all your TEMP Folders (WinXp has up to 4 of them) / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin".

RESTART your computer
Post back with a Fresh hijackthis log and let us know how you made out.

Yo...before any Fixes are posted you really need to move HJT OFF your desktop.
It's not adviseable to leave it on your desktop, backups will be spread all over your screen..Image
Right click an empty spot in the MyDocuments Folder----left click NEW---Folder
Name it HJT---copy and paste hijackthis to that new folder and delete the one on the desktop originally downloaded.

Don't delete backups until everything is running ok...
