Hijack this log, first time

Nobody can help me?

Hi Leashy ,

Sorry for the delay but we are overwhelmed with logs. You have a worm on your computer that we need to get rid of. Unfortunatly, most of the programs to remove this stuff wont work on Win 98. After we get rid of the worm, it would be in your best interest security wise to upgrade to Win XP.


DO THIS FIRST
Your HIJACKTHIS program is current, but it is very important that it resides in its own folder.
We will use Hijackthis (HJT) to make changes to your system and HJT will make backups of those changes,
If HJT is not in its own folder, those backups could be lost.

Easy to fix,
* just go to MY COMPUTER > YOUR C:\ DRIVE and create a new folder and name it HIJACKTHIS .
* Now scroll to where you have HJT currently, right click on the HJT icon and select CUT .
* Now open the new folder you just created and right click within that folder and select PASTE .
* Now HJT should reside in C:\HIJACKTHIS\HIJACKTHIS.EXE




You need to enable windows to show all files and folders
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html <- Instructions here




Reboot your computer into Safemode

* Go to START/ SHUT OF YOUR COMPUTER/ RESTART
* As the computer starts to boot-up, Tap the F8 KEY somewhat rapidly,
this will bring up a menu.
* Use the UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS to scroll up to SAFEMODE
* Then press the ENTER KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD



Open HJT Scan Only, close all open windows ..the only window you should have open is HJT…. put a checkmark in this entry and click on Fix Checked

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {daa873d4-958c-453c-81ca-3fe6f3676a87} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\EXAA.DLL (file missing)





Now look for and delete this file in Red
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\EXAA.DLL



Reboot normally





This is what you have, you can read about it here. You have Trendmicro installed, check for updates and run a full scan.

* Click on Run Cleaner
* Run the Issues Scan < When it asks you to backup the Registry..Say Yes

Post back with a new HJT log please.

Hi Ken,

I did not see the "O2 - BHO: (no name) - {daa873d4-958c-453c-81ca-3fe6f3676a87} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\EXAA.DLL (file missing)" to fix. I downloaded CCleaner while I was waiting for a response and ran that, so maybe that got rid of it? I also couldn't find the file you said to delete. Is there anything else I can do to make sure it's gone? Computer is still acting wonky. Yesterday something kept popping up saying mmsystem.dll was not functioning? Has not happened today though.

Thanks so much for your help, here's a new log.

Leashy, Please run HJT Scan and Save a log file and paste the entire log into this thread. Thanks, Ken

Hi Again,

Thanks for the new log, it looks ok , I dont see any evidence of a virus or any malware.

Do a search for this file, mmsystem.dll it should be in C:\windows\system and if its missing, you can download it here. You will have to unzip to C:windows\system
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mmsystem



If this doesnt help, then you can post in these forums for free windows help.

These are tips and free programs to install to help keep you more secure.

* Open INTERNET EXPLORER
* Click on the TOOLS MENU
* Then INTERNET OPTIONS
* At the GENERAL TAB (which should be the first tab you are currently on),
* click on the DELETE FILES BUTTON and put a checkmark in DELETE ALL OFFLINE CONTENT.
* Then press the OK BUTTON . This may take quite a while, so do not be alarmed with how long it takes.
* When it is done, your Temporary Internet Files will now be deleted.


Now Empty your Recycle Bin



* Make sure that your ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE is up to date and run a full scan at least once aweek.

* Here are Free Anti-Virus Programs if you need one

AVG Free Edition
AntVir Personal Edition


* Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4
Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.

* Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06
Check for Updates and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.

* Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.

* Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.



* IE- Spyad IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains
in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed,
although you will still be able to connect to the sites.

* Firefox Browser
It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use
them both. When it asks you if you want it to be your default browser, say NO and take the checkmark out of the box to ask you again. After you use this
for awhile, you will want to make it your default.

* Thunderbird Mail There companion mail program was highly favored in PCWorld Magazine,
this has a good spam filter and is more secure than Outlook Express.

* Zone Alarm Here is a free Firewall from Zone Labs, I wouldn't
access the internet without it.



Since this is a forum for Malware and Viruses, I wont be able to help you any further, but I will keep this thread open for you for a week or so in case that virus reappears, just post back if it does, I will be notified by email if you reply.

Ken
