Hi bigpond. I'm 'KotaGuy. Welcome to TomCoyote! If you still require assistance, could you please post a new HijackThis log. It has been a few days since you've posted and something might have changed since then. Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your offer to help. I've tried to do quite a bit of cleaning myself, so hopefully there's not too much to do. The new log is:

Thanks for posting the new log… you've done good so far!

Need some info from you on a few files though… might need to make sure you can view hidden files so…

1. Click Start.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
4. Select the View Tab.
5. Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
6. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
7. Click Yes to confirm.
8. Click OK.

Do you recognize these files:

npcstart.exe
npcnt.exe
hooknt.dll

If not.. could you search for them, right click on them, and let me know what it says for vendor info in the Version tab please.

If there is no info present, please upload the files into Jotti's Malware Scanner and post back the results.

Thanks.
Post #6
Hi, I think these 3 files are part of a billing system we use. When you hit 'print' in any application, you are presented with a screen to input a job reference. The vendor info for all 3 is 'Billback Systems', which is our vendor.
Post #7
OK… well, in that case then… your log is clean!! Good Work! How is the computer behaving? Any of the previous symptoms?
Post #8
Hi, My reply post doesn't seem to have shown up, so here it is again! The computer is running well, and none of the previous symptoms are present. I couldn't have done it without examining the archive of posts on this website - thanks for all your work! Can you please point me in the direction of a good 'how to' on prevention?
Post #9
OK… some suggestions for prevention…

To clean up anything that may have been left behind, I suggest doing a couple online virus scans. A couple good ones are Panda ActiveScan and TrendMicro HouseCall. Let them fix anything they find. Reboot between each scan.

If you don't have them, download Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D. Visit this page for proper configuration of Spybot and Ad-Aware. Run and scan with both, letting them fix whatever they find. Remember to reboot between each scan.

I recommend downloading and installing SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, and IE-SPYAD as well. You can get them from the links in my sig. The programs are free and can be updated… so please do so. Installing these will go a long way in preventing reinfection.

If you don't have one, I recommend installing a Firewall. I'm sure you've heard of ZoneAlarm.

Check out the links in my sig named How'd I get Infected and Understanding Spyware as well, some good information for you.

Other than that, remember to update Windows frequently, update your protection programs, scan often and…

Surf Safe!
