Two Goddamn Bloody .dll Files

The Soup Nazi

Dearly Beloved,

My first time posting here. Here's the thing: in my PC (which uses
Windows 98), Internet Explorer has a bad case of hijackin' fever. After
running Norton in safe mode, there are two files the anti-virus cannot
remove:

dydmo.dll
wuadmoe.dll

Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)

start --> settings --> control panel --> internet options --> delete files

1) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
2) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode and shutdown as many applications as possible
3) Using your NAV software, perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete any
infectors found
4) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
5) If you are using WinME or WinXP,Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any
System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 200 ~ 400MB),
6) Reboot your PC.
7) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point


* * * Please report back your results * * *

Thanks for the reply, Dave. Now, here's the thing: I rebooted the PC
into safe mode and the only application left to shutdown was Rundll32,
which resurrected a couple of seconds after I shut it down. The vicious
wuadmoe.dll file (located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\, by the way) still
cannot be deleted.

Before I do something I might regret, here's what I was thinking: what
if I run msconfig - start and "untick"

LoadPowerProfile
Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme

LoadPowerProfile
Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme

and then try to manually delete this wuadmoe.dll clown? Or is this a
stupid idea and by unticking those boxes the PC won't even start? Or
what?

Thanks again!

No. The following is normal.

I understand it's normal - I just thought (from my utterly ingnorant
point of view, mind you) that by unticking it the wuadmoe.dll file
wouldn't be, um, activated after the next reboot into safe mode. Is
that an option?

Anyway, I downloaded the recommended software and have used it (and
Norton) three more times, but wuadmoe.dll is still alive and kicking.
DANG!

A non-virus-related question: I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox but when I
click on links in, say, Outlook Express, I get a message asking for
Firefox again. How can I make IE my default browser again?
Thanks again!

Mind telling us why you uninstalled Firefox?

It is a far more secure browser than IE...

My PC has a very slow processor and Firefox -at least in this machine-
runs slower than IE. I would've stayed with Firefox anyway, but this
virus crap opens IE even when I'm not using it, so what's the point.
I CANNOT KILL WUADMOE.DLL. I THINK I'M GONNA LOSE IT.

My PC has a very slow processor and Firefox -at least in this machine-
runs slower than IE. I would've stayed with Firefox anyway, but this
virus crap opens IE even when I'm not using it, so what's the point.
I CANNOT KILL WUADMOE.DLL. I THINK I'M GONNA LOSE IT.

I also found Firefox slightly slow- try the Mozilla suite from the same
people as Firefox..I find it works faster + you can configure it to load in
memory under advanced preferences (like IE does) so it loads fast when you
click it.

I understand it's normal - I just thought (from my utterly ingnorant
point of view, mind you) that by unticking it the wuadmoe.dll file
wouldn't be, um, activated after the next reboot into safe mode. Is
that an option?

Anyway, I downloaded the recommended software and have used it (and
Norton) three more times, but wuadmoe.dll is still alive and kicking.
DANG!

A non-virus-related question: I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox but when I
click on links in, say, Outlook Express, I get a message asking for
Firefox again. How can I make IE my default browser again?
Thanks again!

looks like you have CoolWWW search and About Blank infections did you try CW
shredder http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

and About Buster http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4289.html

it might be worth posting your Hijackthis log and the Spybot results (that
mentioned CoolWWW search) here on the Hijackthis forum here 1st:

Thanks David and Will... You know, it seems like the problem is always
the same: wuadmoe.dll cannot be deleted because it's being used by
Windows, whether the PC is in normal or safe mode. I can't deal with
this bastard. If it won't go, I'm gonna smash the hard drive with a
hammer! I'll do it!

Now, I think I'm having a problem with AdAware - it finds about 50
pieces of crap, but it freezes once the "Deleting Selection" message
appears. Well, it doesn't freeze *completely*; I can still view, say,
the Help info and all, but the "Deleting Selection" box just stays
there forever. What the hell is up with that?

Always grateful,
-Soup

FF now has a preloader as well. I don't know how much much it
helps (I did not try it).

Makes me wonder what you're doing wrong... I run AdAware every so
often, and it never finds anything.

Unless these (didn't we go over this?) pieces of crap are MRU lists.
Most Recently Used files of various programs, which of course are
absolutely harmless and should be ignored.

Of the 50 pieces of crap found by AdAware, only THREE are MRU lists.
The rest seem to be pure evil, including (you guessed) the degenerate

The software that finds nothing is CWShredder. "CoolWebSearch is not

It's not your fault. I'm a heartbeat away from giving up and handing

I don't like this one. What is it (properties)?

And if you want to give your computer some better performance, please
disable the OSA.EXE (Microsoft Office indexer). Only large companies
really use this, or do you create several dozens of office documents?

ALL RIGHT, thank you very much to everyone who replied; none of the
suggestions I received helped me kill the virus, but of course I
appreciate all of them. Nevertheless, there IS light at the end of the
tunnel: after giving up and thinking well, I guess I'll have to live
with this troll for the rest of this machine's life, I began looking
for software that could prevent further disgusting crap. First I
downloaded SpyBlaster, suggested by SpyBot - Search & Destroy. And
then, browsing stuff at download.com, I came across this beauty called
ZoneAlert, which -for lack of a better explanation- locks the bastard
in by making it impossible for it to access the web. Each time a
program needs internet access, ZoneAlert shows you this neat warning
that asks you to decide whether you give it the green light or not, and
you can save your preferences so the next time that program runs, ZA
already knows what to do. So far the ZA performance has been mighty
bitchin' and I'm pretty damn happy with it.
programs
check the box for - "Internet explorer should check..." <<

This didn't do the trick - unless I'm in IE, when I click on a link I
still get a message asking for the Firefox file. Any thoughts?
Thanks again!
 
T

The Soup Nazi

Zone alert or Zone alarm? The latter is legitimate, the former I
can't seem to find on the web, but it sounds like a knock-off. <<
ZONE ALARM, Zone Alarm, sorry...
