Hello, Desmond

I see that you are running msconfig in /auto mode which means that you may have selectively removed some items in the past from the startup procedure. This can be bad if they are malware, so we would like you to reenable those startup entries by doing the following:

Please click on "start", then "run", and type msconfig and then press enter. When the window opens click on the "startup" tab and make sure there are checkmarks in every entry. Then press "OK" until you are out of the program. If it asks to restart, click "Exit without Restart".

Your HijackThis is not the latest version.

Please download this self extracting file to your My Downloads folder or My Received Files (dependent on your Operating System):

http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis_sfx.exe

Click the "Save" button.

Navigate to My Documents>Chose My Downloads or My Received Files folder once inside that folder click "Save".

Now go to the folder you saved HijackThis_sfx.exe in.

Double click HijackThis_sfx.exe and select Unzip. When done click "OK".
Close the WinZip self Extractor window.

Navigate to C:\Program Files\HijackThis and double click HijackThis.exe. Hit "Do a system scan and save a logfile"

Click that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and paste Ctrl-V its contents here [Add Reply].

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Have you installed a Roxio imaging program that did not install cleanly or without problems? Need to know to decried how to go on. Please give me your answer in your next post.

You are running two Antivirus programs. This is a case where more is not better.
You need to inactivate one of them as they can interact negatively with each other.

The same is true if you are running two firewalls.
Hi Elrond i restored my progs in MSCONFIG.I recently unsuccessfully tried to install MGI photosuite 4.I am running Zonealarm MS firewall Panda Avg Spybot Adaware. Please advise which ones to turn off. Please see my new log.Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.0

The 126 items left by the unsuccessful installation took care of themselves.

Please download Ad-Aware SE & Spybot Search & Destroy Then follow the instructions in the links below to run the programs.

Spybot Tutorial

Ad-Aware Tutorial

Reboot after each Scan is finished to let the programs finish deleting what they found.

Restart in safe mode:
Restart the computer. When the BIOS has finished loading (before Windows starts loading) start rapidly tapping the "F8".
This can be tricky. If Windows starts up in normal mode, repeat the process. If you have a keyboard with a "F Lock" key click it so that the "F" light above it is on when you start tapping the "F8" key.

Close all windows and browsers including this one.
Open HiJackThis and click "Do a System Scan Only". When the scan is finished check mark the items that are listed in bold below. If you can not find an item, that is OK.

Click the fix button.

Configure your computer to show hidden files. If you don't know how to do it the instructions can be found here

After the reboot, find the following folder. Delete it by right clicking and selecting delete.
C:\Program Files\VVSN

Reboot your computer.

Please close all windows and browsers.

You are using two good Antivirus programs. Keep one and KEEP IT UPDATED. If you decide to use Panda, then when your paid Panda subscription expires, you either have to renew it or change to AVG. Your choise depends on you and which program you feel comfortable with.

Keep your "ZoneAlarm Firewall". If you have "Windows Firewall" active as well you should switch it of.
Click "Start" > "Control Panel" > "Network Connections". Right click on the icon representing your conection. Select "Properties" > "Advaced" > "Settings" Under General put a mark for "Off (not recomended)". Click "OK" > "OK" and close "Network Connections".
Be restrictive with access to the internet. If you are unsure if the program really needs the access, test it by denying the access and see if this has any negative effects. If not make the block permanent.

There is one item that did not disapear after the last round of cleanup and that I would like to get rid of.

Close all windows and browsers including this one.
Open HiJackThis and click "Do a System Scan Only". When the scan is finished check mark

Happy New Year Desmond

Congratulations

Your computer is free of malware, and now I want you to take some precautions to avoid being infected again.

Settings and maintenance

1. Clean out temporary files.
Go to "Start" > "Run" and type cleanmgr
Make sure the following are selected:
* Temporary Internet Files
* Recycle Bin
* Temporary Files
Click "OK'.
Repeat for each user account on the computer.
You should do this every few weeks to avoid buildup of unnecessary junk.


2. Clean Out System Restore.
Malware could get backed up in System Restore.
For Win XP follow these instructions to delete all restore points.
1. Go to "Start" > "Control Panel".
2. Make sure the Control Panel is in "Classic View". If it is not, click "Switch to Classic View" towards the top-left of the screen.
3. Double-click "System" and go to the "System Restore" tab.
4. Check "Turn off System Restore" and click "OK" and then "Yes".

After restarting your computer you should turn it back on by following the above procedure and uncheck "Turn off System Restore".

3. Make your Internet Explorer more secure
This can be done by following these simple instructions that apply to all "Windows" except "Windows XP with SP2". In SP2 many of those setting are the default settings but check your settings anyhow. The settings can become restrictive but you should use them anyhow. If there are sites that will not show up right with those settings and that you rely on to be free of malware place them in the trusted zone.

1. Click "Start". Open "Control Panel".
2. Select the "Internet Options"
3. Select "Security" Tab and select the following settings.

* ActiveX controls and plug-ins
• Download signed ActiveX controls: Disable
• Download unsigned ActiveX controls: Disable
• Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: Disable
• Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Disable
• Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting: Disable

* Downloads
• Font Download: Disable

* Microsoft VM

• Userdata persistence: Disable

* Scripting
• Active scripting: Disable
• Allow paste operations via script: Disable
• Scripting of Java applets: Disable

* User Authentication
• Logon: Prompt for username and password

4. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
5. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
6. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.


These are a must to protect yourself from malware.

1. Always use one good antivirus program and keep it updated

2. Always use a good firewall.

3. MOST IMPORTANT: You Need to keep “Windows” and "Internet Explorer” updated. Open ‘Internet Explorer” and go to”Start”> "Tools" > "Windows Update" or go to Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer Updates to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof you must keep it updated as well. Go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed. Update MS Office here.

4. Download and install “SpywareBlaster”
Run it. Click "Updates" at the left and click "Check for Updates". After updating click "Protection" at the left and towards the bottom click "Enable All Protection". You should now be protected from all known bad ActiveX. You should occasionally check for updates.

5. Download and install "Spywareblocker"

Further tools

I highly recommend downloading and installing the newest versions of “AdAware SE Personal” and “Spybot Search and Destroy”
After installing remember to update the definition files for each program.
I also suggest that you visit this website and follow the instructions on how to configure both programs for best detection.

There are many other programs that will add extra layers of protection to your computer as well.
I recommend “IE-Spyad” By default, it is unzipped to "C:\ie-spyad". Find out how to install it by going to the "ReadMe.txt". You should occasionally get updates by using the bat file or by uninstalling and deleting the old files and returning to the site to get the new version.

A Trojan scanner would be also be helpful. You can download a trial version of “Trojan Hunter” and run it to remove any traces of trojans.

The”a Squared” trojan Scanner has a free version. It is an onboard trojan scanner that is installed much like Spybot/AdAware but handles trojans. Nice to add to your armor if you wish.
Download free from “a Squared” (The download button is at the bottom of the page). Install it.
Run and activate your free version with a Squared and then select
Scan your computer for malware infections .
Then select any/all drives.
Finally Scan selected folders.

It is worth while to take a look at "So how did I get infected in the first place? for some good advice.


If you want to update Windows XP with SP2, you should know that there has been a small group of users who have had problems with it. The risks are the least if your computer is clean of malware and you are running an updated software firewall such as ZoneAlarm. You can download SP2 from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389
If you have a high-speed internet connection, you can let Windows Update do it. However if you have a dialup connection I would advise you to order the CD as the download is huge and will take a VERY long time to download. There has also been some reports that there is less problems when SP2 is installed from a CD.
You can get the CD here .


Update all protective programs regularly - Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Best of luck and clean computing
