Hey. I have multiple problems with my computer here. First and foremost something has screwed up my internet. I can only go to about three or four sites before i cant get to any but my connection is still there. I have to turn my modem off and on and then i can go for a few more…VERY frustrating. Anyway, is this related to the "downloader.tib"virus? I have AVGfree and it keeps finding it in C:\78.exe. I can't find this file anywhere! I've deleted it from the vault about eight times already but it keeps coming back. I've run multiple spybot checks to no avail. Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction, I'm lost.

Hello and Welcome to the Forum.

You can get a complete installer that installs HijackThis to C:\Program Files\HijackThis, making an entry in the start menu and also providing a desktop shortcut from http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HJTsetup.exe .

Click on the link and select Save, save it to your desktop and double click HJTsetup.exe.

Open HijackThis and select: Do a system scan and save a log file.

When the scan is finished, Click Edit> Select All> Edit> Copy> and paste its contents here plese use the [Add Reply] button below.

Hello and Welcome to the forum.

I suggest you do this:

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.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.



Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1;
O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"




Delete this Files if listed: Unless you know what it is.
C:\WINNT\system32\sysdtc32.exe



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.

Good Job :thumbup:

Log looks good :D


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:
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Sorry I missed the new one:

sc delete "Network Monitor" Hit enter

sc delete WmDmPsp Hit enter

Run HijackThis and fix this one:

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

We need to kill this service. It wasn't there until we tried to kill sysdtc32.exe. It was hiding
