How to remove lzx32.sys?

Having searched this on the internet I have found it is malware.
There is a program called Prevx1 which said it could remove it, but it DIDN'T.

How can I get rid of this?

Thanks

Hello LoganX:

The first thing I would do is to contact your malware program's
technical support. They will want to know that their program could not
remove your malware, so they can (try to) include a solution in an
update to the program. Moreover, they should be able to give you
specific manual removal instructions.

Marckie's HaxFax
http://users.telenet.be/marcvn/tools/haxfix.exe



Download Haxdoor.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Haxdoor.exe

Execute; Haxdoor.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

It is suggested that you perform a Normal Mode then a Safe Mode scan.

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML or
C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the end of the scan, it will be
displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer). However, if you are using
WinXP, Win2K or Win2003 your system will be left in a state where you will have to manually
shutdown/reboot the PC. On Win9x/ME platforms the report will not be shown in your bowser
but your PC will automatically be shutdown. It is suggested that you move the report out of
c:\mcafee before performing another scan.
It would be best to scan in both Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.

Please Copy and Paste the contents of the HTML Log files;
C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML & C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML in your reply.

Thanks for the advice I will try what you have said now.
Also I have just written down one of the blue screens (I turned off the auto
restarts in case of system failure) and here is what it said.

Technical Information

STOP: 0X0000008E (0X0000005, 0XF71CF439, 0XF6C97A20, 0X00000000)
System32:lzx32.sys - Address F71CF439 base at F71CD000, SateStamp 45830b7f

I can't understand it but maybe someone out there can tell me what is wrong
and how to fix it. I took print screens from when windows has loaded with the
"windows has recovered from a serious error" pop up but I think it is similar
information as what I have put above from the blue screen.

Thanks very much.

It's a Backdoor.Haxdoor Trojan.

Sorry for starting a new thread, but this problem is more widespread than
just installing IE&7 and I's liked to get it sorted as soon as I can.

David, thanks for all your help so far. I did the auto fix of the first
program and it found nothing. But with the second program it crashed to the
blue screen again but it had different information, I tried it twice just to
make sure and here is what I got.

First time:
0X000000F4 (0X00000003, 0X87063020, 0X97063194, 0X805F9F88)

Second time:
0X000000F4 (0X00000003, 0X871173D0, 0X87117544, 0X805F9F88)

Hope that information is helpful in some way and I hope you can help me sort
this out, is there anyway of finding the files on my hard drive that are
causing this and deleting them?

Thanks very much

I was wrong ! :-(

It is not a Backdoor.Haxdoor RootKit, it is a Rustock.B RootKit .

Well at least you know what they are and what the difference is! More than I
know.
But if it wasn't for you I wouldn't of gotten anywhere near to sorting it out.
Derek gave me a application which I think has fixed it, everything seems to
be running normally again now. Just uploaded a file that he wanted to check
out.

Thank you very much for all your help.

For the Rustock RootKit
http://www.uploads.ejvindh.net/rustbfix.exe


Then follow-up with the Multi AV Scanning Tool...


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
