hello
my PC is running very slow lately and I think something's going on. I have run Adware, and Spybot and rebooted and here is the hijack this logfile. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

You 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 and leave your machine on.

Download 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\mark\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\golptf.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\java\Packages\fontutil.exe

If that's successful you should have the two files listed. Then repeat so that these files appear in the list as well:

C:\WINDOWS\Config\odbcdoc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Config\acc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Registration\wavedb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\vssexp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ftplog.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hostx.exe

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):

OK thanks
As I was using Killbox, my computer froze and I had to reboot (I hadn't clicked process and reboot yet). I just ran Hijack This and here's the logfile -

If you have rebooted since you posted the log, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS FIX. Instead post another log file and leave your machine on.

Download 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\mark\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\golptf.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:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\mark\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\capi.dat

If that's successful you should have the two files listed. Then repeat so that these files appear in the list as well:

C:\WINDOWS\java\Packages\fontutil.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Config\odbcdoc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Config\acc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Registration\wavedb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\vssexp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\addins\ipac.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hostx.exe

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):

hi - thanks for your help. I've followed the instructions, the only thing is that i did not show the following that I was supposed to delete

HKLM\..\RunOnce: {ipac} C:\WINDOWS\addins\ipac.exe rerun

and after I booted in safe mode I could not find c:windows\sysupd.exe to delete

Here is the new logfile

If you have rebooted since you posted the log, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS FIX. Instead post another log file and leave your machine on.

Run Killbox. In the 'Paste Full Path of File to Delete' box, copy and paste this entry:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\mark\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\saniam.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\assembly\GAC\Regcode\mainas.exe

If that's successful you should have the two files listed. Then repeat so that these files appear in the list as well:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\hostx.exe

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):

O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {870B70D4-F6DA-47AE-9158-D146440A0A4D} - C:\DOCUME~1\mark\LOCALS~1\Temp\saniam.dat

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [*mainas] C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Regcode\mainas.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*mainas] C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Regcode\mainas.exe rerun

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Delete all files in this folder:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\mark\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp <— 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. :)

Yes, Sir!!!! :thumbup:

You've killed the Stopguard!!!

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.
