A folder called LEGACY_HWCLOCK
A sub folder called 0000 containing ab service REG_SZ hwclock
A folder called HWCLOCK containing 9 files.

Should all these be deleted as well?

Yes.

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

O23 - Service: Hardware Clock Driver (hwclock) - Conexant - (no file)

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


Restart your computer.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

LDTate,

Carried out your instructions, hwclock did not appeared in the scan log.

I received 3 Messenger Service Critical Error Popups refering to regfixit.com while writing this post.

Backup your Registry…
- Press "CTRL - ALT - DEL" keys all at the same time to start "Task Manager"
- In the Task Manager window click on "File", then from the drop-down menu select "New Task (Run…)"
- In the "Create New Task" window enter\type "regedit" (without quotes)
- Once Regedit opens click on the FILE menu and select Export
- Save the file as backup. Save the file somewhere you will remember and not delete.
IMPORTANT: make sure to set the export range to ALL



I recommend you download RegSeeker. Extract it to it's own folder, open and double click RegSeeker.exe to start the program. Maximize the window and click clean registry. Check all sections and click OK. When the scan is complete, verify the backup box in lower left corner is checked and click the select all button, then select all again. Then right click within the search results and select delete. Run it again and again, deleting everything it finds until it finds nothing. Reboot and make sure your programs are working properly, control panel and add/remove programs windows open, etc (basically just do a quick check of everything). In the event anything was 'broken', you can open RegSeeker, click backups and double click any/all files to put the information back. A reboot may be required for the effects to be seen. Reboot When done.

LDTate,

Have carried out your instructions re. using RegSeeker, I deleted some 22 files during this process.
Popups appear to have gone and computer performance is much faster.

What software would you recommend to run to minimise this occuring again? :)

Below is my latest HighjackThis Scan Log for your information.

Good Job :thumbup:


Log looks good :D

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Restart your computer, turn it back on.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Remove the Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Click Start> My Computer, select the Tools menu and then Folder Options, after the new window appears select the View tab…]
This time select the: Restore Defaults
Select: Apply, and click OK




If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?

LDTate, News not so good, while reading your last post, 2 of the same pop ups came in, however they are not as bad as previously experienced, do you suggest I do anything further? jackg

When it's done, go to file->save

LDTate, Results of Rootkit revealer. Popups and slow performance back to previous levels C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\CMD.EXE-087B4001.pf 8/01/2006 1:03 PM 51.11 KB Hidden from Windows API.
Post #26
Open C:\Windows\Prefetch\ Delete ALL files in this folder.

Empty recycle Bin and Reboot

I have down loaded the Google toolbar as you suggested however the popups are still occuring,

Do you get the pop-ups only when you're online?
Post #27
LDTate, deleted all files in prefetch, empied recycle bin and rebooted.(91 files) Popups only occur when on line however slow performance occurs at all times.
Post #28
Lets run another Ewido scan.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


Then please run Ewido, click on the Scanner run a full scan and let it clean everything it finds. Save the logfile from the scan.


Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.
Post #29
LDTate, attached is latest Ewido and HijackThis Scan log.
