[Resolved] Trojen attacs and forced shutdowns

I am running with no protection at the moment.

How's it running now?

It seems ok. not really sure.

Try running MBAM now.

I was thinking of installing COMODO or should i install something else with it.

ok will run MBAM

Please wait until I give you the all clear post before installing anything. Also try not to do any web searching Try running MBAM now.

it looks good: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.46 www.malwarebytes.org Database version: 4107 Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702 5/17/2010 7:16:03 PM mbam-log-2010-05-17 (19-16-03).txt Scan type: Quick scan Objects scanned: 131186 Time elapsed: 8 minute(s), 5 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 0 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Infected: (No malicious items detected) Folders Infected: (No malicious items detected) Files Infected: (No malicious items detected)

After uninstalling Combofix you can activate your protection programs

Good job

The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

• Click START run
• Now type ComboFix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

You can remove these leftover files and folders if listed:
C:\ComboFix
C:\QooBox
C:\combofix.txt
C:\combofix-quarantine-files.txt

To be on the safe side, I would also change all my passwords.


Here's my usual all clean post

Log looks good

• Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  2. Click once on the Security tab
  3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
     
  5. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
     
  6. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
     
  7. Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
     
  8. Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
     
  9. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
     
  10. Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
      
  11. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
      
  12. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.

• Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
  (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
  Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
  I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
  Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
  This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
  If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
  until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.
  Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.


I would suggest you read How to Prevent Malware:

It started up fine. Thank you!!!! Q: Can I run COMODR firewall only and AVG at the same time?

It started up fine. Thank you!!!!

Q: Can I run COMODR firewall only and AVG at the same time?

Yes as long as you only run 1 firewall and 1 anti-VIRUS program.

OK. Did the Ex check and made the change this morning. Installed COMODOR and set it only on firewall. Now I will install AVG and see how things go. I really wish/do thank you and the team for all your help. I plan to check out the class and maybe help someone else along the way. I noticed I could not join until my issues are resolved. Well, am a starving artist and I'm willing to learn.

You're more than welcome. Glad we were able to help Peace be with you
