Hello

The main symptoms I can see are various pop up windows in IE. They are usually called things like "internet security center", however this does vary. The content of this pages usually include what I guess are links to downloads masking themselves as virus and spyware solutions, but are actually links to other malware. These pages also display information like an IP address or an OS version.

Hello Jimmy,

Welcome to Tom Coyote . Sorry about the delay in responding but we are as most times just overwhelmed with logs.


First thing I recommend is to uninstall C:\Program Files\Torrent101 via your Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Heres why.

Sorry that I didn't mention this before. The computer in question is not my own, it belongs to a neighbour. I will be getting feedback to whether or not the actions carried out have eliminated the original pop up problem in the next 12-24 hours, and I'm absolutely sure that the actions you advised have improved things greatly; the spyware scan seemed very thorough and found various items I’m happy are no longer present.

Thanks again

- Jimmy

Jimmy,

Not to worry about fixing this for your neighbor, we don't generally close out a thread until there has been no reply for 10 days or so . I will keep this open for you so take your time.

AVG basically found nothing bad just some bad files in your System Restore Program so we need to flush that out and create a New Restore Point.

The rest of your log looks fine

System Restore makes regular backups of all your settings, if you ever had to use this program to restore your system to a previous date, you will be infected all over again so we need to clean out the previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore.

• Right-click My Computer.
• Click Properties.
• Click the System Restore tab.
• Check Turn off System Restore on all Drives.
• Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot your System

Turn ON System Restore.

• Right-click My Computer.
• ClickProperties.
• Click the System Restore tab.
• UN-Check Turn off System Restore on all Drives.
• Click Apply, and then click OK.

Create a new Restore Point <-- Very Important

• Go to Start/ Control Panel/ Performance and Maintenance/ System Restore/ Create a New Restore Point
  You can name the restore point anything you like, something that you can remember, You will have to be in Catagory View to see this

System Restore Tutorial <-- If you need it

• Your Java is out of date and leaving your system vulnerable.
• Go to your Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall any previous versions of Java (J2SE Runtime Environment)
• It should have an icon next to it:
  
  Select it and click Remove.
• Reboot your system.
• Then go to the Sun Microsystems and install the update
• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 11 <--This is what you need to download and install.
• If you chose the online installation, it will prompt you to run the program.
• If you chose the offline installation, you will be prompted to save the file and you can run it from wherever you saved it.
• Then after install you can verify your installation here Sun Java Verify

I like to to do the offline installation and save the setup file in case I may need it in the future


If you feel that everything is back to normal let me know and I will post some free tools and tips to help keep you more secure on the internet.

Thanks again for your help Ken I have carried out the instructions regarding system restore, it went smoothly and the java update is installed. The original pop up problem has been resolved as far as I can tell from the feedback I've received, and the system as a whole seems to be running much quicker, especially on start up. I would be very grateful for any tools and tips you suggest, and also, what your opinion of a good set of tools for general windows performace and security would be. Thanks alot - Jimmy

Here ya go Jimmy, glad things are well

You can install all the spware programs on this list, they won't conflict with each other, on the other hand, make sure you never install more than one Anti Virus Program and only One firewall. If you use a third party firewall you need to turn the windows firewall off.

Go to Start> Control Panel ( make sure your in Classic View ) Windows Firewall and make sure its off. Norton may have already done that on install but it does not hurt to check.


Malware Complaints
Are you mad ? I mean really mad, seething mad, so mad your ready to spit, mad that you have taken your hard earned dollars to buy a computer only to have some Miscredents, Dirt Bags and Cyber Criminals install a malicious program on your computer without your knowledge or consent. You can post your complaint at the above site. If you live in the U.S.A. you can also report your grievance to your State Attorney Generals Office and the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection.




How did I get infected in the first place ? Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.

• Tutorial for System Restore <-- Do this first to prevent yourself from being reinfected.
• Tom Coyote
• TonyKlein CastleCops
• Grinler BleepingComputer
• Geeks To Go
• Dslreports

Here are some free programs to install, don't leave home without them

• Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4
  Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.
  
• Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06
  Check for Updates and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.
  
• Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.
  
• Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  
• Win Patrol This program will warn you when any changes are being made to your system and give you the option to deny the change.
  
• IE-Spyad
  IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  
• Firefox 2.0 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.
  
• Zone Alarm Here is a free Firewall from Zone Labs, I wouldn't access the internet without it.

Thanks for stopping by Tom Coyote , I'm glad I was able to help you.
