I have this computer at work where I got admin of the box….my sales manager gave it to me even though the net admin dont want anyone to have such access. (I am MCP, Net+ A+) Normally i could fix myself, but all of a sudden AVG is not free and I dont know what else to download to remove nor do I have the time here at work to diagnose properly, and I think i got a trojan that is reinstalling the spyware…here is my log…

robertsloca :D

Welcome to the forum, I am not looking at anything real serious on your system, not to say something could be hidden.

What exactly is going on???

and I think i got a trojan that is reinstalling the spyware..


Hijackthis 1.99.1
Its important that Hijackthis is installed in its own permanent folder for backup purposes.
  • Go to where you currently have HJT installed and delete the whole folder.
  • Use the link above or the links in my signature to download HJT 1.99.1 setup to your desktop
  • Double Click on the Setup icon and by defaut it will unzip to C:\Program Files\Hijackthis


Open HijackThis > Do a System Scan Only, close your browser and all open windows, the only program or window you should have open is HijackThis, check the following entries and click on Fix Checked.

Fix these unless you know what they are Let me know because if you don't know about these there is a tool to reset the Trusted Zone.

If you don't want the Yahoo Toolbar, be sure to uncheck it during installation
Download and Install CCleaner
* Click on Run Cleaner
* Run the Issues Scan < – After it scans your system, when you click on the Fix button and it asks you to backup the Registry..Say Yes
Tutorial for CCleaner




I don't know if your referring to AVG Free Anti Virus or AVG Anti Spyware as not being free no longer. AVG Anti Spyware is a 30 day trial but is yours to keep after the 30 days, you can still get updates, run scans and remove whatever it finds, you will just lose the background guard feature after the trial.

AVG Anti Virus discontinued the older free version but you can get the new version for free here.

Lets run the free Online Virus Scan from Panda, it may pick up things that are not showing on your log.

Run Panda's ActiveScan from here and perform a full system scan.

1. Once you are on the Panda site click the "Scan your PC" button
2. A new window will open…click the big "Check Now" button
3. Enter your Country
4. Enter your State/Province
5. Enter your e-mail address and click send
6. Select either Home User or Company
7. Click the big Scan Now button
8. If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
9. It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It will take a couple minutes)
Since you are on a slow connection it will take about 15 minuites for the scanner to load.
10. Click on "Local Disks" to start the scan
11. Once scan is done, click "see report" then "save report"
Save the log someplace.
12. reboot
13. Post Panda scan results in your next reply


Post the Panda log and a new HJT log.
