beware of "MIRAR"toolbar

Hi all,

I recently was downloading music from FROSTWIRE and embedded in a song was a TOOLBAR DOWNLOAD from "MIRAR" a naaaasty little bug that compiles all internet activity and then uses each sight to bombard you with advertisements from each sight you visit or/and its affiliated sponsors. Some ads. Overlapping and putting your CPU to MAX.

Only way you can remove it is to download an UNINSTALL PROGRAM but this only removes the TOOLBAR. It leaves behind the TRACKING COOKIES and files LINKS into your personal folders and documents that when clicked on will RELAUNCH THE TOOLBAR DOWNLOAD.

NASTY AH!!!

Good thing We have THE TECH SUPPORT TEAM thanks guys


Lawrie

Hi Donna. Lawrie was working the malware removal guide and the PC kept crashing on some of the files that were being scanned so I asked that just the HJT log be posted.

Lawrie, please uninstall Zone Alarm. Running two firewalls could be part of the problem here.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM)

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy and Paste the entire report in your next reply.


Extra Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

----------

Now run a new HijackThis scan and post that log along with the MBAM log.

Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
  • Under the Hidden files and folders heading:
  • Select Show hidden files and folders.
  • Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
  • Also, make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types.
  • Click OK


----------

Once you have hidden files and folders enabled go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs

Open the ZoneLabs folder and look for an uninstaller in there. If you can't find one you might need to re-install Zone Alarm and then use the uninstaller to get it uninstalled properly.

----------

Once you have Zone Alarm taken care of (don't worry about the Ask Bar yet) please run ComboFix.

Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links. Be sure top save it to the Desktop.

Link #1
Link #2

**Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop

Close any open Web browsers. (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

Temporarily disable your antivirus, and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished ComboFix will produce a log for you.
Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

Important: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

I have NO idea what it is, I was puzzeled about it befor but I didn't want to do anything with it incase I stuffed something else up.

C:\Program Files\agi\common\agservice.exe

Also Thease toolbars were downloaded by my kids so that they could get SMILEYS/EMOCIONS for MSN, I thought if they were recomended by MSN (Microsoft) as an addition to LIVE MSN it would be ok. No I don't use them but my kids do.

Kiwee Toolbar2
SweetIM


Is this a problem?

I'm still finding the ASK search bar in my PROGRAM FILES and I'm not shure which sight is the best to download the ZONE ALARM installer from.(so I can un-install it for good). I don't want to download something that stuffes up my system again!!!!

Scan Suspicious File(s)

Use the VirusTotal.com - Multi engine on-line virus scanner
(If more than one file needs scanned they must be done separately and logs posted for each one)

  • Copy the file path in the below Code box:

Code:
C:\Program Files\agi\common\agservice.exe
  • At the upload site, click once inside the window next to Browse.
  • Press Ctrl+V on the keyboard (both at the same time) to paste the file path into the window.
  • Next click Send File
    • Your file will possibly be entered into a queue which normally takes less than a minute to clear.
  • This will perform a scan across multiple different virus scanning engines.
  • Important: Wait for all of the scanning engines to complete.
  • Copy and then Paste the link to the results in the next reply.

No I need the link from the web browser after the scanners are complete. Enter the file again and post the link to the results back here.

VirusTotal.com - Multi engine on-line virus scanner

C:\Program Files\agi\common\agservice.exe


You can find ZA here Download ZoneAlarm Free 7.0.483.0 - FileHippo.com

Hi guys,

I tried everything to remove AZ FFFFF........rustrating!!!!
Another 6 attempts and each success in removing it and I cant access the internet or Emails.
It somehow affects how my "E_TRUST SECURITY" works and it blocks everything.
I got a log from E-TRUST my last attempt which I have attached along with Combofix and Hijack this.

I've had to think on this next response and here is where we are.

You are going to have to uninstall all of the adware/spyware/greyware before we continue. I understand your kids use some of it but do you want to teach them bad internet usage, or good? I am by far not trying to be offensive and I apologize if I am but it it too difficult for me to do this any other way especially when this is the exact same problems as last time, only now worse. There has to be good surfing habits and we simply can't condone the use of programs such as Frostwire and a few others. Free isn't always good when it comes to software and we can't ignore possible copyright infringement. It goes against what we stand for.

If we continue I next need an uninstall list from HJT.

Create An Uninstall List
  • Start HijackThis
  • Click on the Open the Misc Tools section
  • Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.
  • Click on the Save list button and specify where you would like to save this file and click Save.
    • When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file.
  • Copy and paste that list in your reply.

Being NEW to computers I was under the understanding that the internet was a wondrous place that enabled you to have the world at your fingertips. Perhaps that is still true but the vulnerabilities that expose us to the ugly side of the sharing of knowledge gives the advantage to those that feel the need to destroy the beauty and simplicity of all we love and respect.

It is Ok I will uninstall anything that is needed to get my computer back.

You have no need to apologize; I am the one that should apologize to you because there is no excuse for ignorance!!!

Ignorance is bliss

It's stupidity that wares on me, and you are far from that And yes, free on the Internet sometimes comes with a heavy (hidden) cost.

Go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall:
  • Ask Toolbar
  • FrostWire 4.17.0
  • iWin Games (remove only) <- Try Yahoo Games instead
  • SweetIM for Messenger 2.5 <- Not only spying on you but sends spyware the other people you communicate with. Yahoo and MSN messengers are safe.
  • SweetIM Toolbar for Internet Explorer 3.2
Be sure to run CCleaner now and then restart the computer before continuing.

----------

Delete your current version of ComboFix and download it again!

Download Combofix by sUBs from one of the below links.

  • You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
  • Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
  • Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.
  • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it will produce a log.
  • Please save that log to post in your next reply.
  • Re-enable all of your security programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix.

Note: Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection.
