Hello all,

I'm attempting to clean up the junk on this computer and am in a bit over my head.
I appreciate any help you guys can give.

Hi kpaul and welcome to TomCoyote forum.My name is Rosty and I'm going to help you with your log.

I'm afraid that I have some bad news concerning your computer - you have become infected with Troj/HacDef-K!
Here is a quick type description of this infection:

Troj/HacDef-K is a backdoor Trojan that allows unauthorised remote access to the infected computer. Troj/HacDef-K also hides information about the infected system, making it more difficult to detect and delete.


Though the rootkit has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

However, if you do not have the resources to reinstall your computer and would like me to attempt to clean it, I will be happy to do so.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post.


Regards,

Rosty.

Hi Rosty, Thanks for taking the time to look over the log I posted. Root Kit. Ack! I was hoping it wasn't quite that bad. Now, If I can only find those recovery disks! (Hi to Little Eagle too. :blink: ). I'll be helping reformat the computer this weekend. Cheers.
Post #5
Hi kpaul, thanks for letting us know what you have decided. :thumbup: If you still want other help or if you didn't find the recovery disks, don't be afraid to ask for help. Regards, Rosty.
Post #6
Your welcome Rosty. If you want you can close this topic. If I need more help, I'll PM you (if that's O.K.) and we can get the topic reopened (again if that's the way you want to go). Cheers and keep up the fight.

Hi kpaul, we will let this one open for a couple more days. If you , after we have closed this, need help you will see a link in my last post where you can send a PM with the request to re-open this topic. Regards, Rosty.

Rosty, Just finishing up the reinstall now. Have AVG free, all MS and IE updates. I also am behind a NAT router and am downloading Zone Alarm Free as I type. Everything appears to have gone well. Thanks again for all your help.
Post #9
You're welcome, kpaul. :) I did it with pleasure. If you want to be sure all is ok, you may post a new HijackThis log. Then I'll take another look at it and if all is ok, then we can close this one. Regards, Rosty.

Hi kpaul and thanks for the new log.

Log looks good :) :thumbup: How is it running any issues?

If you dont have any programs like these, 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. :)
I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Things have improved greatly(as you may have guessed :lol: ) I did install Spyware Blaster. I don't care much for Spyware Guard. Also, as you probably noticed Zone Alarm and AVG have been installed. Congratulations on your promotion by the way. (P.S.) you say Adaware & Spybot are available below, but don't have links in your sig ;) .

Yes,I did.;)

Congratulations on your promotion by the way.

Thanks, kpaul.

I was prefering to this: I would also suggest you read this

But here you have the links:
Ad-Aware SE
A tutorial on using Ad-Aware to remove spyware from your computer may be found here.

Spybot-Search & Destroy
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features.

Regards,

Rosty.
