bridge.dll & IRC trojan

730 Views 4 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Bradz
When I reboot my computer, I get a dos window popping up and then a error message saying that the bridge.dll module could not load. I've been reading a few articles on sites and this .dll must have something to do with a trojan or something ...

Secondly, my mIRC keeps spamming a "CS CD Keys" link, I've checked the remote, timers, etc. so it must be doing it via a seperate program. I've run Ad-aware 6.0, Panda Antivirus and a few other scanners and still can't get rid of the problem.

Here's the Hijackthis! log, any help would be greatly appreciated:

Reboot into safe mode by following instructions here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406
then as some of the files or folders you need to delete may be hidden do this:
Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Delete these files
C:\WINDOWS\system\winlogon.exe<<<<only this one NOT the file by the same name in system32 folder>>>>>>>>>>>>>

and Delete these folders
C:\Program Files\MyWay

then
Reboot normally &

Download and unzip or install these programs/applications if you haven't already got them. If you have them, then make sure they are updated and configured as described

Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de
AdAware 6 from http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download


Run Sybot S&D

After installing, first press Online, press search for updates, then tick the updates it finds, then press download updates. Beside the download button is a little down pointed arrow, select one of the servers listed. If it doesn't work or you get an error message then try a different server

Next, close all Internet Explorer and OE windows, press 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds that is marked in RED.

then reboot &

Run ADAWARE

Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".
the current ref file should read at least 01R271 19.03.2004 or a higher number/later date

Then ........

Make sure the following settings are made and on -------"ON=GREEN"
From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan"

then......

click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files"

then.........

go to settings(the gear on top of AdAware)>Tweak>Scanning engine and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning" ...........then........"Cleaning engine" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"

then...... click "proceed" to save your settings.

Now to scan it´s just to click the "Scan" button.

When scan is finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. (Right-click the window and choose"select all" from the drop down menu) then press next and then say yes to the prompt, do you want to remove all these entries.

reboot again

then post a new hijackthis log to check what is left

looks ok now but you might have to reinstall DAP as we removed one entry before because of a missing file so I wouldn't guarantee it will work without a reinstall.

but I don't like DAP and wouldn't have it anyway as it can cause some pop ups and I didn't find it a very good download manger or accellerator anyway
