Post #1
I have read several posts and tried different scans. I keep having some limited success but can't seem to completely get rid of whatever virus I have. Any help would be appreciated. I have included my hijackthis log.

Fix these if you do not recognize them:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E9C4603B-96E6-AE67-32D0-8BDA4D0BAAF7} - C:\PROGRA~1\Metafor\4meow.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PROXYWAVE] C:\PROGRA~1\32ELSE~1\Vc inside.exe

(They look like a LOP infection to me)

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

Find and delete:

c:\program files\32else~1 <— FOLDER
(delete if not recognized)

c:\program files\metafor <— FOLDER
(delete if not recognized)

c:\windows\questmod.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\mcff.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\tuxqnc.exe <— file

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 file. :)

Micah,

Thanks for your help. The only thing I couldn't do was find c:\windows\questmod.dll or c:\windows\system32\mcff.dll.

I made sure that it was setup for showing hidden files.

Below is the hijackthis! log. What do you think?

Almost there, Spanky! :thumbup:

First boot in "safe" mode.

Micah,

I completed my last assignment. It sure seems like my computer is back to normal - no pop-up ads, mysterious tool bars or uninvited home pages!!! :D

I have Zone Alarm Pro. I also have the CD for Norton Internet Security. Do you think I need them both or should I just install the Norton Antivirus?

Once again, thanks for your help. My log is posted below.

You're most welcome.

If you choose to go with Norton Internet security, I'd uninstall Zone Alarm (then reboot) first.

If you go with Norton AV, you should uninstall Bitdefender (and reboot) first.

It's not a good idea to have 2 AV's or firewalls running at the same time.

You've done a great job!!!! :thumbup:

The malware is defeated and gone!!!!

GOD blesss!!!

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.
(Personally I'm NOT recommending SP2 for XP at this time)
