When I scan with Spyware Doctor 4.0, it says I have a trojan called Win anti spyware (I don't remember the exact name). Spyware Doctor can't fix it. I downloaded this trojan a long time ago because I thought it was a program for antispyware. I use SUPER Antispyware and various others like AShampoo, but can't seem to get rid of this trojan. Please help. Thanks.

You are running HJT from an unsafe location. An easy way to correct this is to do the following:

Download a copy of HJTsetup.exe from one of these locations and save it to your Desktop:Location one.
Location two.
Location three.

• Double click HJTsetup.exe to begin installation.
• By default it will install to C:\Program Files\HijackThis.
• Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
• Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
• Continue to follow the prompts from there.
• At the final dialogue box uncheck the box to the left of "Launch Hijackthis" and then click Finish

Do this BEFORE you proceed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Run the following online scan: Panda ActiveScan.

• Please note that IE is required to run this scan.
• You will need to fill in the "Country, region, email address" information before you can download and install the ActiveX components necessary to run the scan.
• Decide whether you want to click the radio button underneath this part that says -
  "I do not want to receive marketing information from Panda Software and/or its International Representatives where applicable." - it's your choice!
• When you are asked to "Select a device to scan...", click on "My Computer".

When the scan has finished, click See Report > Save Report which by default will save the scan results as Activescan.txt in My Documents.

Copy and paste the result of the above scan into your next reply along with a fresh HJT log AND a description of how your PC is running.
Also, run HJT and click on Open the Misc Tools section.

• Click Open Uninstall Manager...
• Click Save list... and save it to your Desktop.
• Copy and paste the file uninstall_list.txt into your next reply.

Finally, let me have a list of the files etc... that Spyware Doctor 4.0 detects.

Here is the Activescan file:
Incident Status Location

Potentially unwanted tool:application/regclean32 Not disinfected hkey_current_user\software\RegistryOptimizer.com
Potentially unwanted tool:Application/Processor Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\smitRem\Process.exe
Spyware:Cookie/fe.lea.lycos Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Guest\Cookies\guest@fe.lea.lycos[1].txt
Here is the new HJT log (I don't know why is says it was saved on 9/27/2006):

Here is the Spyware Doctor report:
WinAntiVirus

Type: Rogue Anti-Spyware

Threat Level: Elevated

Author: WinSoftware

Description: WinAntiVirus is a rogue anti-virus program from WinSoftware which has been known to be downloaded by some trojans. It claims to remove virus infections but instead shows detections of legitimate keys and files to urge users to buy its application. Removal of this software is advisable if it is not installed for a purpose.

Advice: Toss


My laptop seems to be slow at times when running some applications. It also freezes up once and awhile. Other than that I am able to use it for the internet and general/basic use for school and to check my email.

Thanks for helping me!

Your first log shows the HJT location as : C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis[1].zip\HijackThis.exe Your second as: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 3 for hijackthis[1].zip\HijackThis.exe As I said in my first reply - "You are running HJT from an unsafe location." You either need to unzip HJT or download the installation file that I provided links to and install it. I don't mind which you do, but HJT needs to be unzipped in order that back-ups can be created of anything that is removed using it. Let me have a fresh HJT log once you have either unzipped your copy or installed a fresh one. Does Spyware Doctor give you any details about what it is detecting - files, folders, registry keys? As to the date, does the clock in your System Tray show the correct date and time?

I found the problem with the date. I just copy and pasted the wrong file. My date and time in my tool bar are correct.

Spyware Doctor says the WinAntiVirus is found in the Registry under HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_FWSVC as well as several others but it won't let me copy and paste the log.

It looks like all you are seeing is the leftovers of a previous infection - a few registry keys that shouldn't be any cause for concern. Work through the following and we'll see what shows up:

You will need to make a copy of these instructions because you have to disconnect from the internet to complete the fix. Either print them out or copy and paste them into Notepad.

Preparation

1) Download the trial version of AVG Anti-Spyware from here and save it to your Desktop.
If you already have this program installed, skip to Updating AVG Anti-Spyware: below.

* Please note that this program was formerly known as Ewido anti-spyware 4.0. Taken from the Ewido website:

ewido anti-spyware 4.0 will now continue under the new product name AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5. AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 contains the same ewido technology, but with some further enhanced features:

Highly improved cleaning
Lower resource usage
Additional languages supported

All current licenses for ewido anti-spyware 4.0 will continue to be valid, and users can change over to the new AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 for free.

Double click the avgas-setup file to begin installation and follow the prompts.
When the program has been installed, and you click the Finish button, AVG A-S will open.

• Updating AVG Anti-Spyware:
  
  By default AVG A-S is configured to update automatically so, if you have an active internet connection, it should do so following installation. If you are unsure whether or not it has done so, do the following:
• Click the Update icon at the top and under "Manual Update" - click the Start update button.
• Either AVG A-S will update or inform you that no update was available.
• If you cannot access the internet with the infected PC, or you are having problems updating, you can download the signatures file from here.
  Once you have installed AVG A-S, double click avgas-signatures-full-current.exe to update it.
  
  Disabling the Resident Shield:
  
• By default the Resident Shield is active but as it may interfere with the process of cleaning your PC, it will need to be disabled.
  (When the PC has been cleaned you can activate the shield again, if you wish.)
• Click the Shield icon at the top and under "Resident shield is..." - click active.
• This should now change to inactive.
  
  Changing Recommended Actions
  
• Click the Scanner icon at the top and then click the Settings Tab.
• Under "How to act?" click Recommended actions and select "Quarantine" from the menu.

You can now close AVG A-S.

AVG A-S is designed to be used to both scan for and remove malicious files and also to run in real-time alongside, but not replace, your existing anti-virus program to give an added layer of protection.
Both the Resident Shield and Automatic Updates will only be available for the thirty day trial period, after that AVG A-S will revert to a stand-alone scanner which you can keep and manually update for free and use in a similar way to Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot S&D etc.
Should you wish to benefit from the real-time protection, you will need to upgrade the program. To do this, simply open it and click on the Buy now button.

2) You will need to set Windows to show All Hidden Files and Folders.
Instructions can be found here.
** These files are hidden to stop you accidentally removing something important.
It is advisable to hide them again after fixing your computer. **

3) Log off from the internet and disconnect your modem cable for the duration of the fix.

Removal

1) Boot into Safe Mode.

• If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
• Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
• Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
• Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
• Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
• Login on your usual account.

2) Navigate to the C:\Windows\Temp folder and delete all the files that you find there.
Do this for all Usernames.

3) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp and delete all the files that you find there.
Do this for all Usernames.

4) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options.

For I.E. 6 - under Temporary Internet files, click on Delete Files...
Check the box to the left of 'Delete all offline content' and then click on OK.

For I.E. 7 - under Browsing History, click delete...
Under Temporary Internet Files, click Delete files...

5) Ensure that ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders are closed and then run AVG A-S.

• If it is not already selected, click the Scanner icon at the top and then select the Scan Tab.
• Click "Complete System Scan"
• While the scan is in progress the PC should be left otherwise idle - so if you fancy a cuppa, now's the time to put the kettle on!
• When the scan has completed, any threats that AVG A-S has detected will be displayed.
• Click the Apply all actions button at the bottom.
• When AVG A-S has finished, it will display the message "All actions have been applied".
  
  Saving a report:
  
• Click the Save Report button at the bottom left and the "Reports" window will open.
• The content of the scan report will be displayed in the right hand pane and a copy will be automatically saved as Report-Scan-date-time.txt into the C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\Reports folder.
• You will need to post a copy of this report into your next reply, so if it is more convenient, you can save another copy of this report elsewhere:
  Click the Save report as button and select a destination by clicking the down arrow to the right of the Save in: text box and then click Save.

Close AVG A-S.

6) Boot into Normal Mode.

Post a new HJT log (run in Normal Mode), the AVG A-S log AND a description of how your PC is running.

It seems likely that the Winfixer traces are just leftovers and I wouldn't worry about them. They will probably need manually removing, so unless you feel happy going into the registry, they can be left alone.
If you do want them gone, let me know and i'll walk you through the necessary steps - it isn't difficult, but you do need to be very careful as one wrong move can cause your PC to fail to boot. This is a worse-case scenario, but you do need to be aware of it.

Other that that, you're about done.

If you don't intend to use the AVG A-S Resident Guard, do the following:

• Go to Start > Run, enter services.msc and hit OK.
• Locate and right click AVG Anti-Spyware Guard
• Select Properties from the menu.
• Under the General Tab, change the Service status: to Stopped and then the Startup type: to Disabled.

You don't need to have this service running if you aren't using the guard.
Once the trial period has expired, you will need to do this unless you upgrade as well.

Some bedtime reading: This is a very good tutorial about keeping your computer safe and secure on the internet.
