Hi mr marram:

I do not see any serious problems in your Hijack This logfile.
That does not mean there are no problems within your PC, since Hijack This does not "see" everything.

I would suggest running online Virus scanners, Ad-Aware SE, Spybot S&D and Ewido Anti-Malware, on a regular basis, as precautionary steps. Farther below are some programs I suggest downloading and installing, as prevention measures that will help protect your PC.

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

Close all windows and browsers, leaving only HijackThis running.

Place a check beside each of these entries listed below, if still present.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE

Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

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

Please perform a search for these files and delete all instances. Windows XP's search feature is a little different. When you click on 'All files and folders' on the left pane, click on the 'More advanced options' at the bottom. Make sure that Search system folders, Search hidden files and folders, and Search subfolders are checked.

ALCMTR.EXE

Then, please enable hidden files and reboot.

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.spywareinfo.com/index.php?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 computer 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.

    * Clean your Cache and Cookies in IE:
    Close all instances of Outlook Express and Internet Explorer
    Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > General tab
    Click the "Delete Cookies" button
    Next to it, Click the "Delete Files" button
    When prompted, place a check in: "Delete all offline content", click OK

    * Clean your Cache and Cookies in Firefox (In case you also have Firefox installed):

    Go to Tools > Options.
    Click Privacy in the menu on the left side of the Options window.
    Click the Clear button located to the right of each option (History, Cookies, Cache).
    Click OK to close the Options window
    Alternatively, you can clear all information stored while browsing by clicking Clear All.
    A confirmation dialog box will be shown before clearing the information.
    * Clean other Temporary files + Recycle bin

    Go to start > run and type: cleanmgr and click ok.
    Let it scan your system for files to remove.
    Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
    Press OK to remove them.

    If you are not using an alternate browser to Internet Explorer, I suggest trying the Firefox browser. It is much safer than IE. Be sure to have a look at the Extensions available for it and get those you need, or want.
    Please use the following link to download the Firefox browser.
    http://www.mozilla.org/

    And also see TonyKlein's good advice
    http://castlecops.com/postlite7736-.html
    So how did I get infected in the first place?

    Safe surfing. :wavey:
