Hi,

for the past month explorer has been connecting to updates.lzio on its own. i ran Lavasoft AdAware, but it doesn't help. any help would be much appreciated, as whatever program I happen to be using when explorer connects to that site minimizes.

p.s. I've started using Firefox instead of explorer, is it any safer?

Thanx alot,

Naftali.

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)

p.s. I've started using Firefox instead of explorer, is it any safer?


Yes, it is harder to contract on-line infections (programs deposited on your machine withour your knowledge or consent ) when using Firefox as your browser.

Thanx for the quick reply :thumbup:

I did all that stuff, but a few files that you told me to delete weren't there. (maybe they were removed by adaware):

C:\Program Files\WhistleSoftware

c:\windowsx\downloaded program files\bridge.dll

c:\windowsx\system32\gcqordsr.exe

c:\windowsx\system32\lziomediaupdater.exe (i deleted this one previously by searching my computer for "lzio")

c:\windowsx\system32\newobj.exe

c:\windowsx\system32\qrqabxw.exe

and: c:\windowsx\lbczxs.exe wasn't found there but in c:\windowsx\system32\ (i didn't delete it, should i?)

anyway, here's my new log:

Don't worry about not finding some of the files. Sometimes it seems that the malware is able to come and go almost as if by "magic".

Good work! I see only one more thing that needs your attention. :thumbup:

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Scan".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Tsa] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\tsa\tsm.exe

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\program files\common files\tsa <— FOLDER

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)

The log looks good now!!! :thumbup:

You'd need to join the classroom on this forum (or one similar) and learn how to detect malware.

For now, keep a copy of that log.

It shouldn't change much unless you add/remove new programs.

The only part that might change are the "O16" lines.

They are active-x components loaded on your machine by various web sites you visit. Most are harmless, however some are malicious and are a source of infection.

If you find that something has changed, please seek advice from someone experienced in these matters before "fixing" things.

GOD bless!!!

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)
