dave e,

Looking better. Is it running any better?


Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

  • Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
  • It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
  • When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
  • Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
    • Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
      Archives
      Mail databases
  • Click on My Computer under Scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
  • You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As….
  • Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
  • Please post this log in your next reply.
I only have dialup, and Kaspersky kept downloading new files that took several hours to download. It's been running all day and night. edit: As soon as I posted my message above, the downloads stopped (tho it looked like it would take several more hours) and the program indicated it was ready to scan. Odd coincidence. Here's the scan. ——————————————————————————– KASPERSKY ONLINE SCANNER 7.0 REPORT Monday, April 20, 2009 Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600) Kaspersky Online Scanner version: 7.0.26.13 Program database last update: Monday, April 20, 2009 04:10:41 Records in database: 2061380 ——————————————————————————– Scan settings: Scan using the following database: extended Scan archives: yes Scan mail databases: yes Scan area - My Computer: C:\ D:\ E:\ Scan statistics: Files scanned: 75137 Threat name: 0 Infected objects: 0 Suspicious objects: 0 Duration of the scan: 01:52:45 No malware has been detected.

Seems to be running okay, though when online the bottom toolbar still sometimes doesn't show all the browser windows that are open (if I minimize them, they are invisible until I shut down the PC). I need to upgrade my Firefox browser, so maybe that will help. Can/Should I uninstall Hijackthis and delete Combofix? Should I uninstall any of my current antispyware, and keep only Malwarebytes? Should I run it with Full or only Quick scan daily or weekly? On a tangent, I'm wondering if you can advise me on this. I've installed all Windows updates over time, and am running with Windows XP Service Pack 2. However, there's a blanket update called Service Pack 3 that incorporated all updates up to a recent date. I'm prompted to install it daily but I've heard some people had problems after installing it. I'd like to decide what to do - should I try to delete it instead?
dave e,

Install SP3. I believe the earlier issues are now a thing of the past.

You actually need to get an Anti-Virus running. Advice is in following links.

Log looks good :D


Time for some housekeeping
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK
  • Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
  • [external image: Posted Image]
The above procedure will:
  • Implement some cleanup procedures.
  • Reset System Restore.

Click Start >> Run and then copy/paste the following into the box and hit Enter:
"%userprofile%\Desktop\GooredFix.exe" /uninstall
If any of your security programs query a new Registry/AutoStart value being added please allow the changes.

Please re-enable any security that was disabled.
Please delete Rooter from your Desktop and also deleter this folder: C:\Rooter$
You can Uninstall HijackThis using Add or Remove programs in your control panel.


The following is my standard advice for the future. Use what you can and pat yourself on the back for what you're already doing.

Please take time to read Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing. Very important information for your consideration is contained therein.

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


Also: "How to prevent malware"
by miekiemoes

Please respond back that you understand the above and let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, this thread will be closed Resolved. :thumbup:
Hi Tomk, I followed your clean-up instructions, and installed XP Service pack 3. It will take me some time to read and absorb the info at those links. So none of the antispyware I'm using are considered anti-virus? Thank you for all your time and help! Dave
Hi Tomk, I re-installed AVG antivirus ware. I'm not sure if it's related to this issue, but the PC is still sluggish and won't multitask easily. I haven't uninstalled Sybot, Spywareguard or Spywareblaster (don't know if running those along with Malwarebytes would be an issue).
dave e,

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.

Then

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
  • Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot (shut down your computer then restart it).
Also "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
I already have ATF downloaded and Malwarebytes installed from the start of this process. Do you want me to download both again, uninstall current Malwarebytes and reinstall new download?
Updated Malwarebytes. Performed ATF cleaning. Ran Malware quick scan:
