I've somehow aquired an annoying virus (or several) AVG says it has detected a virus everytime i connect to the internet and each time its mostly different for example ive had: atlqk.exe, addgw.exe, csrss.exe, smss.exe, mqsvc.exe and many others.

So far ive run :

AVG
Spybot- SAD
A-squared
Trojan hunter
CWshredder
BitDefender (online scan)
Ad-Aware SE personal

I made sure to update them all first and reboot after each scan.

One thing i did notice was that evertime i tried to run CWShredder it caused a bluescreen crash, (Which hasnt happened before when running it)

Heres my HiJackThis log:

This is a stubborn hijacker, but we are making progress.

I have noticed i have these 3 entries in my add/remove programs list:

That's from the hijacker

Stay in regular mode.

[MrCharlie]

Looks like you nailed it, Well Done!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You asked me about the folder prefetch, you can safely empty the contents of that folder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open up Internet Explorer , Tools, General Tab, reset your home page to what you want, now the Programs Tab, click Reset Web Settings
That will change everything back to the default settings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have any questions , please post back.



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.

SpywareBlaster

SpywareGuard


IE-SPYAD
Puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
IE-SPYAD

SpyBot has some protection benefits - use them.

Need a free anti virus?
AVG*free
(check for updates - daily)

How about a firewall? The front door to your computer.
ZoneAlarm*free



----------Free malware removal programs:----------

SpyBot
AD-Aware
CW-Shredder

Free Online Trojan Scan

A SQUARED FREE TROJAN SCANNER

Trojan Hunter
TrojanHunter - free trial

Please consider using FireFox instead of Internet Explorer

Replace Java with SunJava

Pop-up stoppers:
GoogleToolBar
Pop-upStopperFree

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
