Everytime I surf the net, a popup overtakes my screen. I cannot go one minute without an ad from the website http://www.680180.net/ popping up. This is a problem I encountered recently, and I am at a lost as to how to stop these really annoying popups! Please help if you can. I ran a HijackThis Scan, and this is what I got:

I've already downloaded and ran Ad-ware 6.0, CW Shredder, and SpyBot, but they havent solved the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Move HijackThis.exe , into its own folder..... eg:
C:\Documents and Settings\helen\Desktop\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe

Try CWShredder in Safe Mode.( check the Update button, to be sure of latest version).
It should remove some of the below entries.

Close ALL browser Windows, only have HijackThis running.
Use HiJackThis to Check the boxes beside the below entries, then click on "Fix checked" .

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://server224.smartbotpro.net/7search/?new-hkcu

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://default-homepage-network.com/start.cgi?new-hklm

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0B90AA1B-F649-44C3-9FD3-736C332CBBCF} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\IEENHA~1.DLL

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Antivirus] C:\WINDOWS\b.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adstartup] C:\WINDOWS\System32\Adstartup.exe

O16 - DPF: {AD7FAFB0-16D6-40C3-AF27-585D6E6453FD} -

Reboot into Safe Mode.....( tap F8 key during reboot, until the boot menu appears...use the arrow keys to choose "Safe Mode" from the menu......,then press the "Enter" key)

Make sure you can see Hidden files and Folders:
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

Then delete the below files and Folders:

C:\WINDOWS\b.exe <--- delete the file

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Adstartup.exe <--- delete the file

And look for and can you confirm if the below 4 files are present:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\AdUpdater.exe

C:\WINDOWS\System32\adupdmanager.xml

C:\WINDOWS\System32\data.xml

C:\WINDOWS\System32\IEEnhancer.dll

Right-click each file and choose "Properties"--"Version".
If they are all from the same maker, etc, as is "Adstartup.exe", it should be safe to move them out to a backup folder....and delete later.

Reboot computer and post back a new HJT log to this thread, please.

Run Adaware to finish cleaning up:
It is critical that you UPDATE Ad-aware, before scanning.
Ad-aware
and please read :
HOW TO PERFORM A FULL SYSTEM SCAN With ...Build 181

Remove all that Ad-aware finds.

Cheers.

So how did I get infected in the first place?

Hi Sarah,

Only 1 to fix.
Close all windows, and have HJT FIX the below:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = http://localhost

Reboot computer.

Do you still get 680180.net popups?

If b.exe and adstartup.exe are not there, OK.

Did you find any of the below files:

mystupidcomputer · Cadet Joined: May 29, 2004 Posts: 3 Location: USA

I deleted
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = http://localhost

C:\WINDOWS\System32\adupdmanager.xml

C:\WINDOWS\System32\data.xml

C:\WINDOWS\System32\IEEnhancer.dll

And the popups have stopped! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!! Web browsing is not so aggravating anymore!

[b]CHEERS!!!!! [/b]i mined the internet for this solution for all you peeps out there having trouble with this nasty pop-up! here goes:

680180.net fix - Negafox on Wednesday, May 26 2004

For the victims of the 680180.net <A TITLE="Click for more information about <A TITLE="Click for more information about adware" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://messagebroadcaster.net/bannerfarm/link/sw/sw.htm">adware</A>" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://messagebroadcaster.net/bannerfarm/link/sw/sw.htm">adware</A>, there is information on what system changes were made in the setupapi.log in the Windows directory. Here are some of the files that need to be deleted to resolve the popup issues:

Click START & go to MY COMPUTER, right-click then click EXPLORE & click the WINDOWS folder then click SYSTEM 32 folder then find the following below & delete it. Just delete ADStartUP.exe, all the files names listed below(delete AdUpdater.exe, adupmanager.xml, data.xml, IEEnhancer.dll) & not the full links here. Also u might not be able to delete ADStartUP.exe right away but follow the instructions here below on the registry edit & u can go back & delete the ADStartUP.exe & the rest... it works coz my zamingo.com & 680180.net pop-ups disappeared. any questions send me a PM.

%Windir%\System32\ADStartUP.exe
%Windir%\System32\AdUpdater.exe
%Windir%\System32\adupdmanager.xml
%Windir%\System32\data.xml
%Windir%\System32\IEEnhancer.dll

After deleting these files from your system you will need to delete a registry entry:

Click the "Start" button on the taskbar

Click "Run..."

Type "regedit" and click the "OK" button

Click the "Start" button on the taskbar

Open the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" registry key

Right-click "Adstartup" and click "Delete"

This should resolve the issue. Special thanks to Vincent Deneve for his contribution on the issue.
