Thanks for sending your information. We are sorry for the delay in responding. The volunteers here are swamped and unfortunately not all logs get answered as quickly as we'd like.

The header was cut off of your previous log, which contains information that we need in order to advise you.

If you still need help with your problem, please run Hijack This again. Scan and copy the log, then post it here, in this topic . We do need to see a current logfile.

To post, please use the Add Reply feature, so I will be notified.

Please provide a description of the problem.

Please do not edit your Hijack This log. We need to see the entire logfile, with no revisions.
The help you receive here is free. If you wish to show your appreciation, then you may donate to help keep us online.

Want to help others? Join the ClassRoom and learn how.

Hi xyayox:

HijackThis is being run from a temporary folder; this means that any backups it creates as a result of fixes made with it will be lost. Please create a new folder for it and place the program into that new folder.

Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.


Disable Ewido:
Please disable Ewido, as it may interfere with the fix.[br]To disable Ewido:
From the system tray:
  • Right-click the system tray icon and uncheck real time protection.
    or From within Ewido -
  • Under 'Your security status', if the real time protection is active, deactivate it by clicking 'real time protection' until the status says 'inactive'.
Once your log is clean you can re-enable Ewido.

Close all Windows and browsers, leaving only HijackThis running.

Place a check against each of the following.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C8B2A36-3DB1-42A4-A3CB-D426709BBFEB} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AOL Instant Messanger] aim.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NT security] rundll32.com
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [AOL Instant Messanger] aim.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [NT security] rundll32.com
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [AOL Instant Messanger] aim.exe

The following are optional fixes:

There is a continuing controversy about AWS(Weatherbug).
O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)

Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

[*]Reboot into Safe Mode: please see here if you are not sure how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders shown DARK and delete them:
If AWS(Weatherbug) is fixed and deleted here, it must also be Uninstalled/Removed in Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs.
C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe

You may have to do an ALL FILES search for these two.

aim.exe
rundll32.com

Exit Explorer, enable hidden files and reboot as normal.

If you were unable to find, or delete any of the files then please follow these additional instructions:
Download Pocket Killbox and unzip it; save it to your Desktop.
Run it, and click the radio button that says Delete a file on reboot. For each of the files you could not delete, paste them one at a time into the full path of file to delete box and click the red circle with a white cross in it.
The program will ask you if you want to reboot; say No each time until the last one has been pasted in whereupon you should answer Yes.
Let the system reboot.

Then, please run Hijack This again. Scan and copy the log and post it into this topic.

Please advise if any problems remain.

To post, please use the Add Reply feature, so I will be notified.

Hi xyayox:

I see in your first post you mention a problem with SpywareStrike. Is that still an outstanding issue ?

Your Hijack This log looks to be clean.

If there are no continuing problems,I advise the following.

One of the best features of Windows XP is the System Restore option, however if Malware infects a computer with this operating system the Malware can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is necessary after a virus removal.

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(winXP)

1. 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.

2. Reboot.

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

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:
  • Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  • Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.

    Download the new Ad-Aware SE version, and follow the instructions on how to do a full scan: http://forums.spywar...showtopic=11150
    -reboot after using Ad-Aware SE. Also while there get the VX2 plugin and follow the instructions to run it also.
  • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
To protect yourself further:
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
I also suggest that you delete any files from "temp", "tmp" folders. In Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" => "Internet Options" => "Delete Files" and select the box that says "Delete All Offline Content" and click on "OK" twice. Also, empty the recycle bin by right clicking on it and selecting "Empty Recycle Bin". These steps should be done on a regular basis.

And also see TonyKlein's good advice
http://castlecops.co...tlite7736-.html
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Hi Piatan: You have been terrific help. I have followed all your latest instructions (downloading Spaywareblaster, etc., to MVPS Host File; I had already installed Ad-Aware and Spybot a few months ago) and everything is working fine. No more problems with Spywarestrike (original complaint). The only remaining problem is with Windows Explorer (keep getting Error Reports and shutting itself down as a result, which is very annoying) although I have downloaded Pack 2. But that is, I understand, a Microsoft problem. So, Piatan, again, you have been a tremendous help. Many thanks.

Hi xyayox:
Glad to hear your PC is running better.
However, getting those error reports, then shutting down is not normal.
There are helpers here that may be able to assist you with correcting that.
