O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WSAConfiguration] svchostt.exe

WORM_AGOBOT.ZT
Virus Type: Worm
Destructive: Yes

This worm propagates through network shares, and drops a copy of itself as SVCHOSTT.EXE in the Windows system folder. It uses a list of user names and passwords to gain access to shared folders.

It acts as a server program controlled by an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) bot, thus capable of certain backdoor activities.

It is also capable of stealing the CD keys of popular Windows-based applications and terminating certain programs.

This worm is also capable of modifying the HOSTS file, which prevents the user from accessing certain antivirus and security Web sites.

It runs on Windows NT, 2000 and XP.

delete the ones in color red
but before you do delete them and before batty says
put the hijack.exe in a dedicated folder
like D:\program files\hijackthis\hijack.exe
because then if anything goes wrong which i hope wont
hijack this can backup and restore it back

[[digitt]]

i was infected by this virus a year ago ..i removed it then ...think its only the registry entry that is left
mybar has been thr for quite some time now, guess adaware took care of that, but som files r still there, will surely delte thm.......

[it_waaznt_me]

did wat u said but its still the same..
i hav to start explorer.exe manually everytime to reach desktop......
and when i shut it down the end program window for explorer.exe comes up...

[klinux]

- are u able to get the desktop when u use safe mode for both 98 / xp ?
- check event viewer in xp to see if u get any errors

[it_waaznt_me]

Hmmm.. Try extracting Explorer.exe from your Windows cd ..

Start > Run > MsConfig <Press Enter>

On the General tab, Click on Expand File
Pop in your Win XP cd ..
In the File to Restore, Put Explorer.exe .. and in th Restore from, select your CD drive ..

Maybe that will fix it ...

[[digitt]]

i m able to get to the desktop in safe mode.....
i don hav the xp cd i hav the set up....
tried to expand file chose explorer.exe in the file to restore...
in restore to chose desktop...
in restore fromtried all the cab files but didnt get any file....
i hav also tried system restore didnt work out

[klinux]

since ur able to the desktop , might be a prob with some device / driver or startup prog . so try eliminating them one by one

ok try these

- check device manager for any device which has yellow or red marking . if u have installed any new h/w , try 2 uninstall from add/rem prog or simply remove from device manager and reboot .
- run the system on bare minimum
remove all devices/cards : modems , ethernet , cdrom , floppy etc only , hdd attached

for 98
- if u have 98 cd , remove all options from win98 add/rem setup . remove communications dial up and stuff . remove everything except essentials from msconfig startup and reboot
- uninstall virtual cd
- in win98 , go to boot menu by holding the ctrl key during boot and choose logged boot . once ur at the desktop and still have the error pres Ctrl+Alt+Del and choose restart . in win98 safe mode open the file in root partition called bootlog.txt , and see if any file has failed

for xp
- try booting into xp also with min h/w and see if ur able to enter the desktop

- if u r able to get into the desktop . use system restore to make a restore point and run scanregw in 98 .
- add each device one at a time and reboot each time
- run a thorough updated virus scan in both 98 and xp

[beyondthegracefgod]

Try disabling all ur start up files in msconfig

[[digitt]]

i wil surely perform ur steps ..i m able 2 get to the desktop in 98...
in xp i can see the wallpaper but only tht nothin else....
do u still think it has somthin to do wid hardware
