I am running WinXP Home SP1. I have (I believe) 2 problems. #1 is a adware/malware infestation which opens new browsers sessions. #2 is a Policy Change which occurred: User Right SeDebugPrivilege was removed from BUILTIN\Administrators. (Event 609 as noted by the System Audit.) However, I cannot restore the setting since WinXP Home does not have a policy editor.

I have run Ad-Aware, Spybot, and NAV. Ad-Aware cannot remove the randomly created dll files. My HJT log appears below. Thanks for your help. Mark C. (IE6SP2, Netscape 7.1)

Hello and welcome to the forums

* Download Combofix to your desktop.
Doubleclick combo.exe
Follow the prompts.
Don't click on the window while the fix is running, because that will cause your system to hang.

When finished, it should produce a log, combofix.txt.
Post this log in your next reply together with a new hijackthislog.
Hi LDTate, fellow Missourian,

Thanks very much for the reply. Below are the 2 requested logs. BTW, the ComboFix process created a C:\Qoobox folder of several files with secondary extensions of ".vir". I appears this may be a folder of quarantined items.

Thanks again, Mark C.

BTW, the ComboFix process created a C:\Qoobox folder of several files with secondary extensions of ".vir". I appears this may be a folder of quarantined items.

Thanks

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.


Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
LDTate,

Thank you for your prompt, detailed, and explicit instructions, which I have applied. At this time, my computer is behaving normally (actually, probably better than normal). There have been no nefarious web sites being lauched in new browser sessions, nor have there been any recent intermittent viruses attempting to infect my system. I have advised my four teens to exercise more caution in their web surfing activities.

Upon your advice, I will delete the c:\qoobox folder containing 6 files. Five of these files have a timestamp identical to the date/time I noted as the source of the VX2/Look2Me/guard.tmp infestation.

Again, thank you very much, Mark C.
BTW, I have personally known only one MVP and was humbled by his technical expertise. Congratulations on your achievements.

Below is my latest HIJACKTHIS.LOG file.

Upon your advice, I will delete the c:\qoobox folder containing 6 files. Five of these files have a timestamp identical to the date/time I noted as the source of the VX2/Look2Me/guard.tmp infestation

.Yes you can delete it.

Again, thank you very much, Mark C.
BTW, I have personally known only one MVP and was humbled by his technical expertise. Congratulations on your achievements.

Thank You :thumbup:


Good Job :thumbup:

Log looks good :D


You need to create a new Clean restore point.

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points

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.

Restart your computer, turn it back on.

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

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





If you dont have these programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D

I would also suggest you read this:
