Hi and Welcome to TomCoyote forum. Before I give you the instructions for removing New.Net I want to say you have at least one other trojan I see: http://www.bleepingc...tev2-13281.html
I should mention that because of the nature of this trojan you should stay offline as much as possible until it is removed: http://www.sophos.co...jdropperbm.html

I also want to show you this: http://castlecops.co...plist-5306.html Please let me know if you want that item removed, and I would like to remove all R1 & R0 line that are re-directs to HP and just clutter. If you don't use the junk, removing them may free up your browser speed, click the links to see what they are. Let me know with your next HJT log and we will proceed with a good cleaning.

New.net: use the instructions in the following link to remove this item, which looks like this in your log: O10 -Hijacked Internet access by New.Net http://www.newdotnet.com/removal.html

Post a new log with your reply to the above question and I will proceed as soon as possible after you post.

Thanks...pskelley

Thank you for pointing out those problems. To answer your question: yes, I would very much like to take care of the redirects. I use firefox primarily, but there are some things that require me to use explorer.

I have taken care of the trojan and new.net, I think. Here is my newest HijackThis logfile for your parousal:

I look forward to your response.

Sounds good to me, you did not mention this one: C:\WINDOWS\ALCMTR.EXE I will remove it and if you do not want that pass over the instructions. Careful, look at the two items:
C:\WINDOWS\ALCWZRD.EXE <<< good
C:\WINDOWS\ALCMTR.EXE <<< bad

I suggest you do this:
Download, update, configure and run these two programs: http://tomcoyote.org/aawsb.php
The newest version of Ad-aware is 1.06 and Spybot 1.04. Even if you have these programs, use the link to get the newest version, update and configure them as in the link. Run Spybot first, reboot then run Ad-aware. Both programs back up what they remove so delete anything the programs say should be removed.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Enable hidden files&folders..reverse the process when finished.
http://www.xtra.co.n...1916458,00.html

RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these items:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GreatByteThatHeck\ >>> folder

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS~1\HP_ADM~1\APPLIC~1\flagscr\ >>> folder

C:\WINDOWS\ALCMTR.EXE >>> file

C:\Windows\Prefetch\ >>> delete everything in this folder (NOT THE FOLDER)
Prefetch info: http://www.windowsne...refetch-XP.html

Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Review the instructions http://www.ccleaner.com/help/tour1.asp Run CCleaner, when you run the registry cleaner (Issues) you will be prompted to backup before you can remove stuff, make sure you do. Then restart the computer and post a new HJT log in this thread along with any feedback you have.

I need to point out that your JAVA is outdated, if you need instructions for doing this let me know.

When you are completely finished with the removal procedure and are satisfied that the threat has been removed follow these instructions:

I'll make sure to update my JAVA. Please let me know how it looks. Also, how often should I run the HJT, SpyBot, Ad-Aware trio?

Thanks again.

-CaptDrew

[pskelley]

Hello sir, how is the computer running now? Your HJT log looks good, if you are back to "normal" then I would say you are good to go. It looks like there is no firewall with your Symantic, if this is the case make sure the SP2 firewall is enabled in the Security Center, all three items should be on green. As far as Ad-aware and Spybot, that is a personal thing. I check for updates and run them about weekly and once a month I run the deep scan with Ad-aware. I also run three freeware programs that I will post for you which block the bad stuff. I will include tutorials for the programs also.

Spybot

Ad-aware
http://www.bleepingc...tutorial48.html
SpywareBlaster
http://www.bleepingc...tutorial49.html
SpywareGuard:
http://www.bleepingc...tutorial50.html
IE-Spyad
http://www.bleepingc...tutorial53.html

As far as HJT, the program does not "run", and it does not remove anything on it's own. I will include one of the good tutorials, and many are available via a Google search.
