Post #1
A friend told be about this site…so here I am. A couple of weeks ago my son opened a file and received a popup saying that our computer was know infected with the Trojan virus. I immediately ran a full computer scan which it found 3 trojans and I deleted them. I have since ran several scans and I continue to find viruses and I continue to delete them. I ran a hijack this log and have placed it below. I am not sure what to delete or keep. Some I recognize some I dont….

Hi there,

Welcome to WTT.


OK firstly, I need you to print out each post I make so that you can refer to it while we fix your computer. I also need you to follow my instructions in the order that they are given. If however, you cannot carry out one of them, please continue on with the next and let me know what you were unsuccessful with.

Please ensure you have word wrap turned off in Notepad. To do this, open Notepad, choose Format, then ensure Word Wrap is Un-checked. (Word Wrap makes reading your logs difficult).

Now I need you to run a couple more scans before we can start to fix your machine:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Download this EXE file. Save it to your Desktop.

Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.

Double-click the randomly named EXE file. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<— ROOKIT" entries unless advised!

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.
  • Click NO
  • Click the Save… button, and save the log as GMER-1.log
  • In the right panel, you will see a bunch of boxes that have been checked … leave everything checked and ensure the Show all box is un-checked.
  • Now click the Scan button.
    Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
  • Click OK.
  • Click on the Save… button again, and save it this time as "GMER-2.log"
If for some reason the program hangs during the second scan, post me the contents of the first log. If it doesn't hang, then just post me the contents of the second log.

Note: Use Notepad to open the logs so you can copy them in here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Download SysProt Antirootkit from the link below (you will find it at the bottom of the page under attachments, or you can get it from one of the mirrors).

http://sites.google.com/site/sysprotantirootkit/

Unzip it into a folder on your desktop.

Start the Sysprot.exe program.
Click on the Log tab.
In the Write to log box select all items.
Click on the Create Log button on the bottom right.
After a few seconds a new Window should appear.
Make sure Scan all drives is selected and click on the Start button.
When it is complete a new Window will appear to indicate that the scan is finished.
