Help! Stopguard.com spyware killing my IE

UncleWai · Sep 6, 2004

I went to HK for two months, so I let my mother to use the computer.
When I come back, the computer is filled with spyware.
I used spybot to clean up most of the junk, but those stopguard.com popup is still coming up.
Also the IE is very slow and laggy.
What can I do to get rid of the stopguard spyware?

*updated*

When I tried to delete the registry of O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*tcppc] C:\WINDOWS\java\tcppc.exe rerun
tcppc.exe will instantly add the registry back.

tcppc.exe itself is hidden, even when I chose view all hidden files.
I had to use a program called Process Explorer (which work similar to windows task manager).
I needed to suspend the action of tcppc.exe, then used hijackthis to get rid of the registry.

I hope if there are people that are having similar problems, they can use this method to fix it.

Here's the log, I found this to be the spyware
C:\WINDOWS\java\tcppc.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*tcppc] C:\WINDOWS\java\tcppc.exe rerun

I chose show hidden files, but somehow I still can't see the file existed.
I tried to create a file with the same filename, but windows said it's already existed.
Hijackthis couldn't delete O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*tcppc] C:\WINDOWS\java\tcppc.exe rerun

what can i do now?

Hello UncleWai,

Before you do anything
1. Make sure that you have extracted HiJackthis to a folder that is isolated before removing anything, for hijackthis makes backups within the folder it is in.
2. Reboot into safe mode
3. Close all browsers/windows explorer

fix the following in hijackthis(kill the process in process viewer, if its there)

O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {BF755B85-EA69-4F58-9A59-D85F384A15FF} - C:\DOCUME~1\Admin\LOCALS~1\Temp\cppct.dat
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*tcppc] C:\WINDOWS\java\tcppc.exe rerun
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - (no file)
O16 - DPF: {9F1C11AA-197B-4942-BA54-47A8489BB47F} -
O16 - DPF: {B2BE75F3-9197-11CF-ABF4-08000996E931} -

additional steps

1. Delete the file "C:\WINDOWS\java\tcppc.exe"
2. Clear your temp files using start>run>"cleanmgr"
3. Restart into normal windows
