Despite using Norton Antivirus/Antispyware, Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc, I still can't get rid of it. I am really not sure what is this. At the bottom right of my tray, there's always warning that my system is infected. But the antivirus program does not signal any.

Please help me find a resolution. Thanks!

My HJT log is as follows:

Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.


IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.


Clean

Please print out or copy these instructions/tutorial to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process. Make sure to work through all the Steps in the exact order in which they are listed below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before moving on with the fixes.

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.

• If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
• Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
• Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
• Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
• Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
• Login on your usual account.

______________________________

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process, if you computer does not restart automatically please do it yourself manually. Reboot in Safe Mode.

The tool will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.
______________________________

Clean out your Temporary Internet files. Proceed like this:

• Quit Internet Explorer and quit any instances of Windows Explorer.
• Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options.
• On the General tab, click Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files.
• In the Delete Files dialog box, tick the Delete all offline content check box , and then click OK.
• On the General tab, click Delete Cookies under Temporary Internet Files, and then click OK.
• Click on the Programs tab then click the Reset Web Settings button. Click Apply then OK.
• Click OK.

Next Click Start, click Control Panel and then double-click Display. Click on the Desktop tab, then click the Customize Desktop button. Click on the Web tab. Under Web Pages you should see a checked entry called Security info or something similar. If it is there, select that entry and click the Delete button. Click Ok then Apply and Ok.

Empty the Recycle Bin by right-clicking the Recycle Bin icon on your Desktop, and then clicking Empty Recycle Bin.
______________________________

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save Report.

Dear Susan,

Thank you so much for replying so promptly.

I have followed your steps and is attaching the log files as requested below. Please help me look through to see whether there's anything else that I need to do.

The annoying "Your computer is infected!" message in my bottom right tray has disappeared. Has it been completely removed?

Is there a good antimalware/antispyware/antivirus program that you recommend that I have?

In the meanwhile, my Norton antivirus seems to keep giving me a prompt to say that Repair mode is down and need to reinstall. Not sure whether the malware has damaged this and need me to reinstall. Not sure whether this is a strong enough program to prevent further attacks on my system.

Hear from you again. Cheers!

[Susan528]

Hello Kingkong,

In the meanwhile, my Norton antivirus seems to keep giving me a prompt to say that Repair mode is down and need to reinstall.

I would uninstall Norton and reinstall it. It may have been damaged.

We do use the trial of ewido in many logs and it helped to clean up your problems here. I would hate it if the company discontinues the trial. It is a complement to anti-virus program. You might consider it.

Disable Spyware Doctor:
Please disable Spyware Doctor, as it may interfere with the fix. To disable Spyware Doctor:

• Click the Spyware Doctor icon in the System Tray.
• Click Settings.
• Click Startup Settings under Pick a Category.
• Uncheck Run at Windows startup.
• Click Apply and Exit Spyware Doctor

Once your log is clean you can re-enable Spyware Doctor.

Scan with HijackThis. Place a check against each of the following:
O20 - Winlogon Notify: winvax32 - winvax32.dll (file missing)
Close all windows or browsers except for Hijackthis. Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look.

[kingkong]

Dear Susan,

I have uninstalled and then reinstalled Norton. I have also uninstalled Spyware Doctor to ensure that it doesn't conflict with the cleanup.

I have fixed the entry you asked me to do so and I am attaching the log file below. Please let me know what else I need to do. Thanks!

Good Work kingkong! Your logs appear to be clean! Please do the following:

STEP 1.
======
Cleanmgr
To clean temporary files:

• Go > start > run and type cleanmgr and click OK
• Scan your system for files to remove.
• Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
• Click OK to remove those files.
• Click Yes to confirm deletion.

STEP 2.( Windows XP only)
======
Prefetch Folder
Open C:\Windows\Prefetch\
Delete All files in this folder but not the Prefetch folder

STEP 3.
======
System Restore for Windows XP
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)

• 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.

Reboot.

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.

STEP 4.
======
DON’T BECOME OVERCONFIDENT WITH ANTIVIRUS APPLICATIONS INSTALLED!!!

http://forum.malware...39eba6ea0b5e8ee

Stay up to date on security patches and be extremely wary of clicking on links and attachments that arrive unbidden in instant messages and e-mail.

"The number one thing the majority of the malicious code we're seeing now does is disable or delete anti-virus and other security software," Dunham said. "In a lot of cases, once the user clicks on that attachment, it's already too late."

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Test your Firewall - Please test your firewall and make sure it is working properly.
  Test Firewall
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit Windows Updates regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers
  
  
• Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer
  
  
• Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
  
  
• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
  
• More info on how to prevent malware you can also find here (By Tony Klein)
  and here: http://wiki.castleco...nt_Re-infection

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

Susan

Dear Susan, You have been a great help! I will follow your instructions diligently from now on. By the way, what does the spyware/malware that infected me do? Does it steal password and stuff like that?

[Susan528]

The SpyFalcon malware is a pain to remove. If it stole passwords, we would be warning victims of possible identity theft. It seems many of these things promise to remove/prevent malware and offer free trial. Then when you download it, it supposedly finds malware but then you have to pay for removal. Then if you decide that you do not want the application, you cannot delete the application. It is part of a gimmick to make money. Why person would create it, I do not know.

Thanks, Susan! You are the best!
