Seems after the bout with the spyware/trojan/virus thingy on the computer at work it seems to not have any sound in the web browsers, all of them. Now audio for any You Tube, News Videos, nothing. What's worse is that in IE when you click on "Tools" "Internet Options" I get and error stating that the operation was canceled due to restrictions on the computer. Now this is a Admin account and have all access. Also the "Phishing Filter Settings" under the IE "Tools" "Phishing Filter" gives the same error. The "Pop-Up Blocker" setting also under the "Tools" thing does do anything. I click on the "Pop-Up Blocker Settings" and it does nothing. So I am all confused. I did a Google for this problem and found many answers with Reg settings, Spybot-SD Imunize settings and so on, none have helped. Something is corrupt or there is a Reg setting that I can not pinpoint that is doing this.

The HijackThis log file is as follows.

I hope some one here has some idea as to this problem. I have attached screen shots of the error. I have also attached a screen shot of a second error pop-up, but this only came up once as is not showing up anymore. Could have been a one time thing, not sure though.

Re: No sound in Browsers (IE, FF, or Opera) IE Tools Menu (Some itemshave Restriction

Did you try a system restore ???
 
Re: No sound in Browsers (IE, FF, or Opera) IE Tools Menu (Some itemshave Restriction

oh, something else - Get rid of norton ....
 
Re: No sound in Browsers (IE, FF, or Opera) IE Tools Menu (Some itemshave Restriction

The only entries that confuse me are:

O11 - Options group: [INTERNATIONAL] International*

and the 3 that show "File missing"

But I think that damn lsass.exe is BAD. Googled and found info that it's linked to Optix.Pro virus.

Nope it's the Isass that is bad not the lsass (lower case L). What a pain.
 
Re: No sound in Browsers (IE, FF, or Opera) IE Tools Menu (Some itemshave Restriction

Question 1--- Not happening, had to turn off restore when dealing with original issue. Can only go back to yesterday, which is odd since I had to re-install Sytem Restore due to earlier issue.

No. 2--- No.
 
Re: No sound in Browsers (IE, FF, or Opera) IE Tools Menu (Some itemshave Restriction

Nope, didn't help. Thanks though. But hey, I fixed it! Woo Hoo! After a bunch of Googling I found a place where someone had the exact same crap. He though had not removed any of the malware, I had gotten some of it but this nasty had a big payload. Had to do some clever stuff and run a few things and then all was well at the work. Yay! God if only I would get payed like an IT guy for this shiit! And all the other shiit I have to deal with on this damn machine! I should kill it and then he HAS to upgrade it or get another machine! <insert pause> Woe! Kinda lost it there, heh. :nervous:

Anyway, I will post the details of what was done for anyone that is interested (or not) and for the future reference if anyone should get into a situation such as this. Tomorrow. I am @ home and the log files and procedure is saved @ work. So there. :)
 
Re: No sound in Browsers (IE, FF, or Opera) IE Tools Menu (Some itemshave Restriction

I am glad you got it fixed, naads
 
Re: No sound in Browsers (IE, FF, or Opera) IE Tools Menu (Some itemshave Restriction

Thanks. And now for the gory details.

First the site that had the poor soul with the very similar problem was @ DSL Reports.

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20960870-Trojan-IE7-Restrictions

The solution was dead on although this person's malware wasn't the same one as the one here @ work. But all roads to the solution were dead on.

First thing was to d/l and run ATF Cleaner.
Then d/l and run FixPolicies.exe
and so on. Click the link, read the post and you will get the rest.

Last item was Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Man this program works great.

And this be the log of said proggy and the nasties it found and deleted.

So if anyone gets into a situation like this, use the link and do as it says. You may have to adjust it like I did for your own issue. But it worked for me and this P.O.S. of a machine. :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
