OK, let me know

[tony25]

LDTate: Generally, the system has been running ok, but occasionally (maybe 5 times in the last 24 hours) something strange happens: let me give you an example: I just tried to log in to eBay.com, but I could not type: the keyboard was not functioning. So I tried to x out of that page, and clicking on the x in the upper right corner did nothing; so I tried to use "Control-Alt-Delete", but I had to click on the task manager about 5 or 6 times in order to end the process: it was like a freezing. I should mention, though, that the keyboard function had been acting up for a month before last week's infection that I asked you advice for, but the freezing is new. Any thoughts on this? Tony

[LDTate]

Do you have another keyboard to try? Is is wirleless? If so, Have you replaced the batteries?

[tony25]

LDTate: I don't have another keyboard to try- when I got this new one, I stupidly threw the old one out. The new one has no batteries, is not wireless: it's a rather silly Hp internet model, though I've never hooked up all the internet stuff. I did manage to uninstall Spydoctoe in Safe Mode though, and the computer might be running smoother. Tony

LDTate:

Sorry to bother you again, but I ran an AdAware scan this morning (the sytem has been fine: it was just to check) and the result was 17 "critical objects": SpywareQuake!!! There was also the warning: "SpywareQuake has a TAC rating of 10".

And of course, this the spyware that infected my computer earlier this month when you helped me; I checked also with Ewido, but it's scan came up with nothing.

So I was wondering if this is just SpywareQuake stuff hanging about but presenting no danger, or was/is it returning?

If you could check my HJT log (which was not run in SafeMode) and give any advice, I'd really appreciate it (again!)

sincerely,

Tony

[tony25]

LDTate: You might not recall as I'm sure you've helped many and are very busy, but every time I download SmitFraud, it just isn't funcional: I get a red screen which says: "Process exe file missing ! unzip all the archive in a folder press any key to continue" And as I mentioned above, I've already run a scan with Ewido (Which I downloaded on your advice) and it came up with nothing. Tony

[LDTate]

unzip all the archive in a folder

Are you unzipping the file SmitfraudFix.zip?

[tony25]

LDTate: I'm putting it in it's own folder on the desktop, but I don't know how to unzip. Tony

P.S. I should mention that when I returned to normal mode, several questions were asked of me, such as "home page has been changed: do you want restored?" and I chose "yes" to each of the 4 or 5 questions, as I didn't want the whole sytem changed. Hope this is ok.


Thanks,
Tony

Good Job

use Add/Remove Programs and remove Ewido unless you want to keep it. It's only a 14 day trial version.


Log looks good How is it running any issues?


You need to create a new Clean restore point.

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Restart your computer, turn it back on.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Remove the Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.





If you dont have these programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
