I've been working on a friends machine and I've cleaned out most of what's there but sstr.dll is still running in it and I can't get rid of it.  I followed the instructions you left in http://www.bullguard.com/forum/10/Cant-Delete-or-quarantine_21092.html on using VundoFix.exe but it didn't touch it and it seems VundoFix.exe works differently than in that posting.  The F6 key just terminated the batch file.

Hi Dewitt,
 
Except for the .dll file you mentioned, your log looks rather clean. Here is what I recommend you do in order to get rid of that last pest:

1. Start your computer in Safe Mode - http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htm.
2. Run HijackThis! again and fix check the following entries:

O2 - BHO: MFCOptimizeClass Object - {C25FA7CE-23EA-4271-A66D-06C4D5C22F78} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssttr.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ssttr - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssttr.dll

3. Close HijackThis!, go to Start > Run and type cmd in the dialog that appears. Press [Enter].
4. Type this command in the command prompt window that appears:

   regsvr32 /u C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssttr.dll

5. Press [Enter] again and then type this line:

   del C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssttr.dll

6. Press [Enter], and close the command prompt window by typing exit.
7. Reboot your PC in Normal Mode, run another scan with HijackThis! and post the fresh log on this thread. Please mention how your PC is doing otherwise.

Looking forward to seeing how this goes. Rest assured that there are other methods we can try in case this one fails.


Cheers,
 
Andrei A.

Hi,
This is the new fix for vundo.
 
Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4
Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
Put a check next to "Run VundoFix as a task".
You will receive a message saying vundofix will close and re-open in a minute or less.
Click OK
When VundoFix re-opens, click the Scan for Vundo button.
Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.

I ran HijackThis! in safe mode and checked the ssttr.dll entries, unregistered it but when I tried to delete the file I got a message saying it was in use by some other process and could not be accessed. After rebooting it was still there.

I downloaded the new copy of VundoFix, copied it to the affected machine and tried to run it in safe mode but it wouldn't run as a task. I could get it to scan and find several files but it apparently wouldn't delete them. I rebooted in full mode and ran again. This time it worked as advertiesed and I think it's licked. Now I need to get it back on the network, do the updates then convince this kid not to go to those places again.

Thanks for all your help!

C. DeWitt
