Hi,

I have been having issues with my computer and got some advice from my brother. He was also having the same issues before sending his log to you. I have run the trend micro scan and it found 17 viruses which I deleted. Everything seemed to be much better for a few days and now I am back to barely moving around and waiting for what seems like forever to open anything in the computer.

I run a small business from home and could really use some advice and/or help before I go crazy! By the way, I can probably get my brother to help me if need be, but FYI, I don't know all the ins and outs of computers! Here is my log:

Download then unzip and run CWShredder to clean up clicking "FIX" to have it remove all it finds.

CWShredder available from these places :-

http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads.php
Or this as a full download without any unzipping required
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/CWShredder.exe

We have found that some of the CWS infections can be removed better from safe mode, rather than normal mode.
To get to safe mode use the F8 key while booting the machine. Detailed instructions from here :-
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen…001052409420406


Download http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip
Then uzip it and click restore host.

Then post another log.
I am still having trouble locating the files to delete even after following the instructions you last posted with regards to the hidden files/folders. Not sure what is happening here? Anyways, I followed all other instructions and here is my latest log: Thanks!

Under "items to clear" click all. Then click "clear selected items"

Reboot and Rescan with HJT and post a new log here.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
Well I did the items you listed after getting another "stopguard" infection again. MY computer is now acting like a normal computer and cooperating with me - a lot quicker. Why do I keep getting that infection and how do I keep it from coming back again?

There were a few things in the last list that I couldn't complete. First, under the killbox instructions, the 2nd file you wanted to delete c:/windows/registration/olemp3.exe couldn't be found upon rebooting. Second, Under the hijack this instructions, I couldn't find the lvery ast item (the olemp3.exe rerun).

Here is my latest log:

You still have a "Stopguard" infection. Please do not reboot until told to do so. Each reboot can make the infection harder to remove.

If you have rebooted since you posted the log, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS FIX. Instead post another log file.


Run Killbox.zip

Extract it from the zip file then double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. In the 'Paste Full Path of File to Delete' box, copy and paste this entry:

C:\Documents and Settings\KATHY.THEDELL\Local Settings\Temp\cagv.dat

Don't click any of the buttons though, instead please click on the Action menu and choose "Delete on Reboot". In the window that opens up, click on the File menu and choose "Add File". The file should show up in the window. Then repeat the process, this time adding:

C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\vgac.exe

If that's successful you should have the two files listed.
When they are all there (and double check!), in the same window choose the Action menu and select "Process and Reboot". You'll be prompted to reboot, do so.

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

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

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Delete all files in this folder:

c:\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temp <— FOLDER

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)
Okay, the last instructions were followed. Just so you know, I have only been rebooting when told.

Two items I could not complete were - under the killbox instructions, upon rebooting, it popped up saying windows couldn't find c:\windows\tasks\vgac.exe - also, under the hijack this part, I couldn't find the last item listed (vgac.exe rerun).

Here is my new log:
