There seem to be many problems I have seen with different versions of 'mirka' or 'mirka4'. I am having trouble removing the mirka4e.exe program. I don't even know how I ended up with it, but it is a problem.

Similar to this topic post on this same site about MIRKA4B.exe. HERE I had that file, but I was able to simply delete it, but it seems as it generated into the Mirka4e.exe application now. Just as in the post I have mentioned, I have to do a ctrl-alt-del to end the mirka4e process, in order for my computer to boot to the desktop.

I have done scans with CWShredder, Spybot, and Adaware and the online scan at pandasoftware, and mirka4e is not found on any of them. Any help anyone can give me to get rid of this is appreciated. Here is my log file with HijackThis, once again thank you:

Reboot in "safe" mode. Use the link in my signature to explain how if necessary.

Find and delete:

Some malware files may be "hidden". Use the link in my signature to explain how to show "hidden" files if necessary.

Reboot in normal mode and post a new log IN THIS THREAD. :)

Ok, after all of that, my computer loaded like 'normal' :D Thank you. Here's my log now..I don't know if anything else needs to be fixed. Thanks again.

One more item to deal with.

Fix this:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [svcSystem] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\lrdsvr.exe

Boot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\lrdsvr.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden". Use the link in my signature to explain how to show "hidden" files if necessary.

Boot in normal mode and post a new log file. :)

P.S. Yes it is a VERY GOOD idea to empty the recycle bin of known malware.

I have deleted all of the .exe files you mention, but on a few, there are these .LGC files. What should I do about those? Should I delete those too, or is everything ok?

The log file is A-OK now!!! :thumbup:

About those ".LGC" files. They could be related to a key logger.

Try this:

Put the cursor on one of the ".LGC" files and right-click. In the menu that pops up, chose "open with", then choose "Notepad".

You should then be able to tell if that is a log of keystrokes from your machine.

If in doubt, I suggest you just leave them alone.

Here's my list of things to help prevent future infections:

GOD bless!!!

M68 :)

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?" here:

http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957

Download IE-Spyad here:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings here:

http://browsercheck.qualys.com/index.php

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.
