Baseline Hijack this log

I have a ridiculous number of processes every time I switch on (I believe somewhere between 43 and 55). Have run AdAware (which seems to get stuck), Spybot and Ewido as advised in the self help post. Any help muchly appreciated.

Welcome to Tom Coyote, sorry for the delay in responding, to say we are overwhelmed with logs would be an understatement.


You have no service packs installed on your Operating System the two most common reasons for this is that some people are unaware of the importance of keeping your operating system up to date with the latest patches to help keep all this bad stuff from installing, the second is that the copy of windows you are running is illegal and you cant get the updates, I hope you dont fall in the second catagory because your system will always be vunerable to attack. Tom Coyote does not support illegal software, we will help get you clean and then your on your own.

As far as Running Processes, I see no bad ones running and windows has a ton of them running that are needed to run windows.


This is what I suggest you do…


DO THIS FIRST
Your HIJACKTHIS program is current, but it is very important that it resides in its own folder.
We will use Hijackthis (HJT) to make changes to your system and HJT will make backups of those changes,
If HJT is not in its own folder, those backups could be lost.

Easy to fix,
* just go to My Computer > YOUR C:\ DRIVE and create a new folder and name it Hijackthis.
* Now scroll to where you have HJT currently, right click on the HJT icon and select CUT .
* Now open the new folder you just created and right click within that folder and select PASTE .
* Now HJT should reside in C:\Hijackthis\Hijackthis.exe


Please do not proceed until you move HJT to it's own folder.





* Click on My Computer
* Then on your C: Drive
* Then to Tools/ Folder Options/ View
* Choose the radio button to Show Hidden Files and Folders
* Take the checkmark out of Hide Extensions for Known File Types
* Then Apply/ OK




Download and install the 30 day trial of Ewido Anti-Spyware from HERE and save that file to your desktop.

* Once you have downloaded Ewido Anti-Spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
* Once the setup is complete you will need run Ewido and update the definition files.
* On the main screen select the icon Update then select the Update now link.
* Next select the Start Update button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
* Once the update has completed select the Scanner icon at the top of the screen, then select the Settings tab.
* Once in the Settings screen click on Recommended actions and then select Quarantine
* Under Reports
* Select Automatically generate report after every scan
* Un-Select Only if threats were found
* Close Ewido Anti-Spyware <– Do not run the scan yet.




Open HJT Scan Only, close all open windows and your browser, so you may want to print this out to have it handy, check these entries and click on Fix Checked

You can always restore the entries that you want by opening HJT> View the List of Backups and restore what you want.

This uses alot of system resources and its your call to disable it. It has to do with Norton AV 2000
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [OWS Setup CmdLine] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\40\bin\cfgwiz.exe" /pkg "Office 2000 Server Extensions"


These can be started manually when you need them and save you resources.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\jusched.exe


The rest of these are bad and have to go.

Boot your computer into Safemode

* Go to Start> Shut Off your Computer> Restart
* As the computer starts to boot-up, Tap the F8 KEY somewhat rapidly,
this will bring up a menu.
* Use the Up and Down Arrow Keys to scroll up to SAFEMODE
* Then press the Enter on your Keyboard

IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while ewido is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess:

* Lauch Ewido-Anti-Spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
* Select the Scanner icon at the top and then the Scan tab then click on Complete System Scan.
* Ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
* Once the scan is complete do the following:
* If you have any infections you will prompted, then select Apply all actions
* Next select the Reports icon at the top.
* Select the Save report as button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system
*** make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important
* Close Ewido



Still in Safemode , right click on Start…then click on Explore and navigate to the following files and folders and deletet them.

C:\WINDOWS\vsnpstd.exe
C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch


Reboot normally and lets run this system cleaner.


This will by default install the Yahoo Toolbar, you can remove it via the Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel if you wish.
Download and Install CCleaner
* Click on Run Cleaner
Tutorial for CCleaner


I need to see the Ewido Report and a new HJT log.
