Hello tomcoyote community,

i recently updated the microsoft-security packages. Since then my system is behaving in a strange manner. Pages on the internet which are refering to virus/trojan are not accessible. The browser shuts down upon entering those pages. Programs such as spybot, trend-micro anti-sypware do shut down immediatly after execution.

HJT Log:

Welcome to the forum :wavey:

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe javanet.exe

F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINNT\system32\userinit.exe,javanet.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [blah service] xaxe.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Office Startup] winssvc.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [MSN] msnsgr.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Office Startup] winssvc.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [MS Java for Windows XP & NT] javanet.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [win32 service] C:\WINNT\system32\server.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [MS Java for Windows XP & NT] javanet.exe

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Delete all of the following noted (in red) file(s)/FOLDER(s) you can find:

c:\winnt\system32\javanet.exe <— file

c:\winnt\system32\server.exe <— file

c:\winnt\system32\msnsgr.exe <— file

c:\winnt\system32\winssvc.exe <— file

c:\winnt\system32\xaxe.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis! log file into this thread. :)
