Well i received a malware file from a friend via MSN Messenger, and it originally would not let me look at anything with Hijackthis in the title, or to run regedit, or msconfig. but i have disabled its auto-start function upon rebooting, so its okay.

I JUST CAN GET RID OF IT… here is the log, please help me ASAP!
thank you SOO much

Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

I want to check some things before beginning any cleaning operations.

Run Hijack This!.

Click on Open Misc Tools section

To the right of Generate Startuplist log, there are two boxes.

Check them both, then click Generate Startuplist log.

"Copy/paste" the startuplist log into this thread.
Thank you. Here is the start up list. I also went to hijackthis.de and followed some of the instructions on the site, so it MIGHT be sorted out. but please take a look anyways

I was going to suggest you do this:

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):

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [lexplore] lexplore.exe

O16 - DPF: {1D6711C8-7154-40BB-8380-3DEA45B69CBF} (Web P2P Installer) -

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Delete all of the following noted (in red) file(s)/FOLDER(s) you can find:

lexplore.exe <— file
(that's "LEXPLORE.EXE" in uppercase)

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

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)


Then ask you to post the things disabled via autostart so we can decide what to do with them.

If you've done some "changing" since posting your log file, this may or may not apply now.
I followed your advice,
here is the new log:

also, using autoruns i disabled somethings that were autoloading (mainly SVSHOST.EXE files) - but here are the things that i disabled;

"Ati HotKey Poller"
and thats all now, because of the hijackthis deletions, the files i disabled are now gone (YAY)

thank you for your help, and please tell me if i am a-ok
This looks good.

"Ati HotKey Poller" is not a malware program.

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.
