Hi Guys, I am back...this time with my sister's computer. Things to expect from this machine are Arabic keyboard software, goldwave sound recording software, tons of kiddie software for the youngen, and that's about. I noticed some "date manager" and "precision time" software that looks suspecious.

Here are some startup apps that disabled using WinPatrol, sorry for the huge pic:

[NeoBabylonian]

Any help with this is apprecated. The popups are starting to accumilate on a more frequent basis.

[LDTate]

Hello NeoBabylonian,

This is what I suggest you do.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.


Even if you've already run these, make SURE they're up-to-date and run per instructions.

Make sure you have the up-to-date versions of Spybot V 1.4 and Ad-aware SE Build 1.06 . All are free and available below.

Download Spybot, install and update. Then download Ad-aware, install, and update.

Spybot:

Install the program and launch it.

Go to Start > Programs >Spybot > Search & Destroy and choose Spybot S&D

Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D
Click the button to "Search for Updates" and download and install the Updates.
Next click the button "Check for Problems"
When Spybot is complete, it will be showing "RED" (RED) entries "BLACK" entries and "GREEN" (GREEN) entries in the window
Put a check mark beside the RED (RED) entries ONLY.
Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED (RED) entries.

Ad-Aware FULL SCAN:

Install the program and launch it.

1. Launch Ad-Aware SE and run the WebUpdate feature. (Click on the Globe icon > Click connect > Click OK > Click Finish.)
2. Set up the Configurations as follows:
-- Click the Gear wheel at the top of the Ad-Aware window
-- Click General > Safety & Settings: Check (Green) all three.
-- Click Tweak > Cleaning Engine > UNcheck "Always try to unload modules before deletion".
3. Click "Proceed"
4. Click "Scan Now"
5. Deselect "Search for negligible risk entries" as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.
6. Select "Search for low-risk threats"
7. Run the scanner using the Full Scan (Perform full system scan) mode.
8. When the scan has completed, select Next.
9. In the Scanning Results window, select the "Scan Summary" tab.
10. Check the box next to each "target family" you wish to remove.
11. Click next > Click OK.

Next:

Download the trial version of Spy Sweeper from Here

Install it using the Standard Install option. (You will be asked for your e-mail address, it is safe to give it. If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)

You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
(This may take several minutes)

Click on Options > Sweep Options and check Sweep all Folders on Selected drives. Check Local Disc C. Under What to Sweep, check every box.

Click on Sweep and allow it to fully scan your system.If you are prompted to restart the computer, do so immediately. This is a necessary step to kill the infection!

When the sweep has finished, click Remove. Click Select All and then Next

From 'Results', select the Session Log tab. Click Save to File and save the log somewhere convenient.

Exit Spy Sweeper.

Empty Recycle Bin

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HJT log as well as the Resullts from Spy Sweeper file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Also, the symptons on this pc are constant popups from regfixedit and such site. There's a "date manager" software that I removed earlier before speaking to you. Windows puts up a popup wanting me to delete the shortcut. Also experiencing very slow boot up and app startup time.

Edited by NeoBabylonian, 20 April 2006 - 10:58 PM.

[LDTate]

Are you still getting the pop-ups? If so, can you tell me exactly what it says?

[NeoBabylonian]

Ok, I'm back in town. I'll get you the info asked for asap. sorry for delays and thanks for the helping hand.

[NeoBabylonian]

Ok, I just spoke to my sister. It seems that the popups are gone now, however, the very slow bootup time and application startup time still exists. I cleaned up the items that run on startup to the bare min (macafee, winpatrol, and spysweeper). Would having all three running be the issue? She claims it was faster before, but it's a 2.4 Gig machine with 128 Megs of RAM. I'm not too sure how much faster it could be. Also, no abnormal processes are running. I think it might be done. How does the last HJT log look?

[LDTate]

She could us Add/Remove Programs and remove spysweeper unless she paid for it.

but it's a 2.4 Gig machine with 128 Megs of RAM

As you know she needs alot more RAM

[NeoBabylonian]

Cool, I'll do that. Thanks a ton for your help.
