Hello and welcome to TomCoyote forum. I can identify some of the junk, you have this adware: http://castlecops.co...0-irassync.html <<< click the link within for more information. You also are showing three items we call random named trojans. I will need your help identifying them. Here they are and if you know what there are let me know:
C:\WINDOWS\npxqsnt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\apqtzqo.exe
C:\PPENSB\Win32\ppshell.exe Use the following free online scanners to find out what these are before we remove them and post that information for me to view, thanks.
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
http://www.virustota...h/index_en.html

We will start cleaning you up now, please follow the directions in the posted order.

1) Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Review the instructions http://www.ccleaner.com/help/tour1.asp and please do not run it until I ask you to.

2) 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.

3) Ewido scan:
Please download Ewido Security Suite it is a trial version of the program.

• Install ewido security suite
• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
• The program will now go to the main screen

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.

• On the left hand side of the main screen click update
• Then click on Start Update

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido.
Ewido manual updates

Once the updates are installed do the following:

• Click on scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.**
  • You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
  • If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
  • DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
  • If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
• Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
• Click Save report.
• Save the report .txt file to your desktop.

Now close ewido security suite.
**(Ewido for example has been flagging parts of AVG Anti-Virus, pcAnywhere and the game "Risk")

4) Run CCleaner, Windows & Applications 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 and the Ewido scan results along with the information from the free online scans in this same thread along with any feedback you have. There will be more to do.

Thanks...pskelley

Hello pskelley,

Thanks for your help. I didn't realize I had to save the information from the free online scans. I think they're removed now though. I hope this doesn't make things more difficult. Thanks again and I hope to hear your response soon.

Thanks for your help. I didn't realize I had to save the information from the free online scans. I think they're removed now though. I hope this doesn't make things more difficult. Thanks again and I hope to hear your response soon.

What is important is the information it provided. If they were indeed malware, they may have been removed by the scans, if they are still in the log, I will still need the information before I can safely remove them. Let's have a look.

Couple of nasties but ewido removed everything it found.

C:\PPENSB\Win32\ppshell.exe <<< still need to know what this is. If you don't know, look at the properties of the item or use the scanners and let me know what they show.

C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe >>> please see this: http://castlecops.co...plist-5068.html I suggest you uninstall this progam.

I will be removing this: http://www.dell4me.com/mywaybiz which is clutter to redirect you to Dell advertisment. If you need this clutter, keep it.

Microsoft AntiSpyware will block the HJT fix, be offline until you finish, make sure you turn MAS back on before going back online:
Open Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Click on Tools, Settings.
In the left pane, click on Real-time Protection.
Under Startup Options uncheck: Enable the Microsoft AntiSpyware Security Agents on startup (recommended).
Under Real-time spyware threat protection uncheck: Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended).
After you uncheck these, click on the Save button and close Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Right click on the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the taskbar and select Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware.

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"

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

C:\Windows\Prefetch\ >>> delete everything in this folder (NOT THE FOLDER)
Prefetch info: http://www.windowsne...refetch-XP.html
You may need this to see the Prefetch folder? http://www.xtra.co.n...1916458,00.html

Empty the recycle bin and restart the computer. Post a new HJT log for a last look along with the information about the item in question and any other feedback you think I should have.

Thanks...Phil
