Please move HJT into its own permanent folder so backups can be made in case of a mistake.

example: C:\MyHJT\HJT.exe or C:\MyDocuments\MyHJT\HJT.exe

HowToShowHiddenFiles - <—enable this


———————————————————————-

Do you have any idea what these are?
If not please have HJT fix them when you do the rest.

———————————————————————–

Download and unzip the KillBox to a folder - we'll use it later.

Click here to download LSPFix. http://www.cexx.org/LSPFix.exe Run it, make sure you click the "I know what I'm doing" button. Select nmtracer.dll and using the right-pointing 'arrows' and move all instances of nmtracer.dll it mentions and nothing else to the Remove (RHS) side but leave everything else (it might already be over there when you open LSPFix). Click the 'Finished' button (if you exit with the X at top right nothing happens).


Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes if listed:

seeve.exe

Exit the Task Manager when finished

Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

O16 - DPF: {f760cb9e-c60f-4a89-890e-fae8b849493e} -

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Open up the KillBox.
Select the Delete on Reboot option.
In the field labeled Full Path of File to Delete copy and paste each one of these in one at a time.
Hit the delete button
OK
Do the next file, etc
After that LAST file path has been entered and you press OK
Reboot the computer
If you recieve an error message "PendingRenameOperation…." and your computer doesn't restart, please restart it manually.

C:\WINDOWS\svchost32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\seeve.exe
C:\WINDOWS\mriboj.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\Error Build

Reboot and post a fresh log and we'll take another look, MrC
Post #5

To clean up a bit……..

Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

O10 - Broken Internet access because of LSP provider 'nmtracer.dll' missing
O23 - Service: Norman API-hooking helper (NipSvc) - Unknown owner - C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\STUART\DESKTOP\Nvc\BIN\nipsvc.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: Norman NJeeves - Unknown owner - C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\STUART\DESKTOP\Nvc\BIN\NJEEVES.EXE (file missing)
O23 - Service: Norman ZANDA - Unknown owner - C:\Documents and Settings\STUART\Desktop\NVC\BIN\Zanda.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: Norman Virus Control on-access component (nvcoas) - Unknown owner - C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\STUART\DESKTOP\Nvc\BIN\nvcoas.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: Norman Virus Control Scheduler (NVCScheduler) - Unknown owner - C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\STUART\DESKTOP\Nvc\BIN\NVCSCHED.EXE (file missing)

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

I'll leave you with……..

Some preventive maintenance:

——————Must have or do:—————–

Now that you're clean: <—-Important Step!!!!
Delete your system restore files and create a new restore point:
(ME and XP users only)

XP system restore

ME system restore


Visit Windows Update and install all the lastest critical updates.

Install these two free programs, they sit in the backround and protect your system from spy and adware being installed on your system, also from your browser being hijacked. Check for updates weekly.

Don't open e-mail attachments without first scanning them with an up-to-date
anti virus program, even after doing that I would be very careful. Don't click on any executables in e-mails or any other links that you're not sure of.
Watch your surfing habits, don't click on or download anything you're not sure of. Don't install a program that hasn't been recommended by a reputable organization.

Good luck and thanks for using the forum - MrC :wavey:
