Hi WedgeOz,

Please post a complete HijackThis log; the one you put up has the header removed. The header is vital to a proper diagnosis of your problem, since it contains information about your computer's Operating System and browser, and about the version of HijackThis you are using.

First, MOVE HijackThis.exe to a PERMANENT folder (such as (C:\HJT). When it runs, HijackThis makes backups in the folder it's in, and if it's in a temporary folder you can't count on them being there if you need them. The backups are VITAL in case something goes wrong in the fix process, so you can restore your system.

Then, be sure you have the latest version of HijackThis. If the log does not say Version 1.97.7, you need to update before you run it.

When you post your log, just stand by- one of our experts should soon be along to look at it. :D

Hi WedgeOz,

Start HijackThis, CLOSE ALL BROWSERS and ALL WINDOWS EXCEPT THE ONE IT'S RUNNING IN, and put a check mark in the box at the left end of ONLY those items listed below. Click the FIX button, and let it fix everything you've checked.

Turn your computer OFF, and leave it off for AT LEAST 30 SECONDS. Then restart your computer and run HijackThis, and post a fresh log here so any further problems can be addressed.

Also, do you recognize the "ICQ" items in your log? They look suspicious to me, but could be legitimate items.

Here's the next log….still trouble I expect :(
And yes….I use ICQ occasionally so I think those entries are okay….

That's better however this looks viral. With only HJT running, have it fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Network Service] C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe -sr -1
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Network Service] C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe -sr -1

Reboot, find and delete:

C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe - Careful this is not in the System32 folder.

Then go here and run online scans (all), allow them to delete whatever they find:

http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/co…n_principal.htm
http://www3.ca.com/virusinfo/virusscan.aspx
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

Rescan with HJT and post a final log.

Hi WedgeOz,

Well, that looks a LOT better than when you started. ;)

There are a couple of things I'd suggest getting rid of, but they're not vital.


R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

(Do you know what this is? If you want it, fine…If not, I'd kill it.)

(This next item isn't bad, but it's a resource hog; you don't need to load it at startup.)
