Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

Please make a PERMANANT folder for Hijack This!

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT. MOVE HijackThis into this folder.

If required a tutorial is here = Hijackthis Folder Tutorial

First, please go to:

Start > Run

In the box type in services.msc then hit (or click OK)

In the Name column in the next screen look for:

Windows Process Moniter

it.

In the dialogue box that pops up, look in the "Path to executable" box.

It will say C:\WINDOWS\winmon.exe

That's how to be sure you have the correct process.

Now, click Stop to stop that rogue process.

In the Startup type box, change it to Disabled.

Click Apply then OK

Close the services.msc window.

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/…/search/ie.html

O23 - Service: Windows Process Moniter - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\winmon.exe

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

C:\WINDOWS\winmon.exe <— file

The log looks good. :thumbup:

the virus still shows up on norton….

I'm not seeing any "virus" or any other malware.

Can you please post the "full path name" (i.e. "C:\windows\virus.exe") of the file Norton is complaining about?
Post #5
here are the 28 files that norton says are infected w/ trojan.lowzones: C:\a3643fds.exe C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\KXYB0D2F\lg[1].exe is a Adware threat C:\RECYCLED\Dc13.exe C:\RECYCLED\Dc20.exe C:\RECYCLED\Dc21.exe C:\RECYCLED\Dc22.exe C:\RECYCLED\Dc23.exe C:\RECYCLED\Dc24.exe C:\RECYCLED\Dc5 C:\e5ygh.exe C:\g64fff4.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\RECYCLED\Dc5.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\G5ERSXQ3\d[1].exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\a3643fds.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\e5ygh.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\RECYCLED\Dc13.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\RECYCLED\Dc20.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\l9uk7fh.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\RECYCLED\Dc21.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\g64fff4.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\RECYCLED\Dc22.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\KXYB0D2F\lg[1].exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\RECYCLED\Dc23.exe compressed file kans.reg within C:\RECYCLED\Dc24.exe C:\l9uk7fh.exe C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\KXYB0D2F\lg[1].exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\eraseme_12454.exe is infected with the W32.Spybot.Worm virus.

First, empty the Recycle bin, that should get rid of these:

C:\RECYCLED\Dc13.exe
C:\RECYCLED\Dc20.exe
C:\RECYCLED\Dc21.exe
C:\RECYCLED\Dc22.exe
C:\RECYCLED\Dc23.exe
C:\RECYCLED\Dc24.exe
C:\RECYCLED\Dc5
C:\RECYCLED\Dc13.exe
C:\RECYCLED\Dc20.exe

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!
Then, use Windows explorer to find and delete:

C:\a3643fds.exe
C:\e5ygh.exe
C:\g64fff4.exe
C:\l9uk7fh.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\KXYB0D2F\lg[1].exe is a Adware threat
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\G5ERSXQ3\d[1].exe
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\KXYB0D2F\lg[1].exe
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\KXYB0D2F\lg[1].exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\eraseme_12454.exe
C:\WINDOWS\winmon.exe

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Empty the Recycle bin again.

Run your virus scan, and let me know the "full path names" of anything it is still detecting.

I am pleased that the forums here at TomCoyote.org have been of assistance.

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?"

Download/install IE-Spyad

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 at Qualsys.com

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.

thanks again! just have a question… i'm actually using mozilla firefox because someone told me it's less likely that i'll get infected w/ this compared to internet explorer… is that true? God bless :D
