Help Me With My Hijack Log

After "disassembling" the file you sent, I have discovered that the random file in the temp folder is related to this program, and is not a threat:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\OFFICESCAN 95\PCCWIN97.EXE

I was hoping the Startdreck log would confirm that. I guess you'll just have to trust me on that one.

One "problem" solved.

About the "pop-ups" you get….

Do you get pop-ups ONLY when you "surf" (something a pop-up blocker might fix, I don't see a pop-up blocker active in the log), or do pop-ups happen when you're just sitting there doing nothing?

Could you please post some of the URL's (web site addresses) they try to get you to visit? This will help (I hope).

Micah, thanks for your help. I do only get pop ups when I surf. When I first came to the forums and asked for help I was getting pop ups when I logged into Microsoft Outlook to view my emails. The stuff you had me clear out the first time solved that problem. I did just install a pop up blocker - Google's. I like it because it also gives me a google toolbar and google is the only search engine I use. tori

Great.

If you think you've contracted malware, just post another log.

Here's my "tip sheet" for malware prevention:

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:

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:

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.
