Hi folks,

Norton popped up a message saying that it had sucessfully cleaned mbshspy.ocx. From internet research, it seems that this file is part of a keylogger.

Subsequent scans with NAV, Ad-Aware, and Spybot, all with newest definitions show the system is clean.

Would you please check my log, and confirm if I have a problem or not? Thank you!

Jim Dearden

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, I'm running Win98SE on this particular system. Spybot and Ad-aware havent found anything on it, NAV scans come up clean.

Try this when u get a chance

Please download Asquared from the link below.

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/

Safe it to your desktop. Next open and check for updates.

Boot to safe mode (tap f8 while bios loads)

Then scan your system (this will take some time) after the scan is compelte allow it to fix what it has found. If there is something that it can not clean please let me know what it was.

Then reboot and post a new hijackthis log.
