Hi Everyone,
My computer has been running VERY slowly. I also get IE crashes when I try and type an address in, and ALWAYS when I try and view my favorites. Also, zonealarm says that taskdir.exe is trying to access the internet, which seems suspcious.

Ive run adaware and also did a disk defrag. I need this system running well soon so I can work a major presentation for school. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much! :)

Hello Alex and welcome to TomCoyote forum. I hope we can make your schedule, but I can make no guarantees. First, ZA is right, here is the malware: C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskdir.exe It must be fairly new because information is scarce, here is the google on it:
http://www.google.co.....q=taskdir.exe I should also say I do not know if there is more infection but that is all I see in the log. We will check and clean a little, follow these directions in the posted order.

1) This program: C:\Program Files\AdwareAlert\AdwareAlert.Exe -boot see this: http://castlecops.co...plist-9265.html If you are not running the newest version, I suggest you uninstall the program.

2) 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")

3) Spyware Doctor may block the fix, you may have to turn it off until you are done.

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

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [taskdir] C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskdir.exe

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:\WINDOWS\system32\taskdir.exe >>> file

C:\Windows\Prefetch\ >>> delete the contents (NOT THE FOLDER)
Prefetch info: http://www.windowsne...refetch-XP.html

If you don't have a good cleaner, use this free one with these instructions:
Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Review the instructions http://www.ccleaner.com/help/tour1.asp
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.

Restart the computer and post the ewido scan results, a new HJT log and any comments you have that will help.

Thanks...pskelley

::Report End


The computer still seems slow...and it was especially slow in loading up windows after I rebooted. Like, once my desktop appeared, it was slow to load everything, and I had to wait a while before I could even do anything. And, oftentimes the CPU useage is pinned very high, even when I'm not doing anything major....and when I go look in task manager at the processes running, and their CPU useage, it doesn't show any process that;s really using much CPU, but the CPU is still pinned.


Thanks!

Hello and thanks for returning your information, you said this:

The computer still seems slow...

Keep in mind you came here to have malware removed, sometimes malware is what is causing the computer to run slow, but often it is not, See this information:
http://www.microsoft...s/IEtopten.mspx
http://vlaurie.com/c...s/runbetter.htm
http://www.linkgrind...rs_article.html
There is much more available on Google if you search for it.

ewido anti-malware - Scan report Created on: 11:34:33 PM, 3/30/2006
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ѕрoolsv.exe -> Adware.PurityScan : Ignored
You chose to ignore this adware, it must be remove. You will either need to run ewido again, or delete the item in safe mode: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ѕрoolsv.exe <<< be very careful with the spelling. The valid file looks like this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe <<< do not delete this one.

C:\temp\quarantine\archive[1].jar.Vir/A.class -> Not-A-Virus.Exploit.Java.ByteVerify : Error during cleaning
Open that C:\temp\quarantine folder and delete all of the contents.

Here is information to control the nasty cookies you are storing:

http://www.microsoft...acy/config.mspx
Some nasty sites can infect you using this method.

Keep in mind ewido is a security suite and it will also slow you down when it is running in realtime as it will be during the trial period. I will provide more information about ewido when we are finished with it.

Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 12:15:55 AM, on 3/31/2006
I am seeing McAfee and GrisoftAVG running in your Services. It is a bad thing to run two antivirus programs at the same time, conflictions can cause all kinds of issues, including slowdowns, and you will be less safe than if you run one good program and maintain it properly. If you are running two, uninstall one of them, update and run a complete system scan with the other.
Post for me anything that could not be deleted during that scan.

These programs are running everytime you boot:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
http://castlecops.co...plist-9746.html

O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE
http://support.micro...om/?kbid=210875

I notice you are running Zone Alarm. You should make sure the SP2 firewall is turned off in the Security Center, running both at once will also cause you issues.

HJT is showing no malware, Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

I would also suggest you register free here: Diagnostic: http://www.pcpitstop.com/

Run the diagnostic and post to the user to user forum for help understanding the results if you need them. Please post a link here so I can view the results.

Complete the instructions above and post a new HJT log along with your comments.

Thanks...Phil
