Post #1
My computer is shutting off by itself, will just completely crash on me. When I do get on the internet it has so many pop ups. I have bought and installed XoftSpy SE but it don't seem to be helping. One thing that pops up on the scan everytime is vundo trojan and Win32/Nuwar.N!sys. I send it to quarentine but the very next time it is there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just figured out how to download the highjackthis and get the log so here it is. I hope this is right.

OK the first thing I did was go to add and remove and I removed IWinGames. I did a highjackthis scan only and when I went to check the files
02 - BHO:Shell Event Object Class - {00534B55-3155-CA4F-B41D-0E922121D03C} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscentfy.dll
and
02 - BHO: IEHIprObj Class - {8CA5ED52-F3FB-4414-A105-2E3491156990} - C:\PROGRA~1\IWINGA~1\IWINGA~1.DLL
they were no longer there. I did a log for you to look at to see they aren't there since I removed the IWinGames. But all the others are still there.

I am so sorry to be a bother. But I thought I needed to ask, when I clicked in the AVG Anti-Spyware - Next to Last Update, click on Update Now. I do have active internet cause its cable. But it don't do anything. It takes me to the update screen current status Downloading updates, receive data……. but the bar is not doing anything. It has been about 15 minutes now. then it says Manual Update Here you can manually run an update….. Cancel Update I just wondered if it takes awhile or am I doing somehting wrong. Again I am sorry to bother you so much.
Post #8
Hi Yes, there's sometimes problems with automate update. I suggest to use manual update method especially if it looks like nothing happens.
Post #9 last edited
Hello! I went and clicked the manual Start Update and still nothing is happening. I tried exit and came back and did it again and still nothing. Going now to do the AVG anti-spyware manual. Sorry I just seen the link.

Hi

Yes, Firefox and Opera options will be grayed out if you don't have those installed.

Well congrats, it appears your system is all clean Are you still noticing any problems? If not, it's time to secure your system to prevent against further intrusions.


THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
NOTE: only do this ONCE,NOT on a regular basis


Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update to the latest version…

Updating Java:
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9.
  • Scroll down to where it says
    The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications.
  • Click the
    Download
    button to the right.
  • Check the box that says:
    Accept License Agreement.
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-1_5_0_09- windowsi586-p.exe to install the newest version.

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.

Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.
  • Download Adaware
    Adaware is a free program. It scans for known spyware on your computer. These scans should be run at least once every two weeks. For more information, see this tutorial
    The program is available for download here
  • Download SpywareBlaster
    Spyware blaster is a program that stops known malicious activex controls from installing on your computer. It works by changing settings in your registry. It makes
    kill bits
    in the registry, so that certain activex controls can't install.
    If you don't know what activex controls are, see here
    You can download SpywareBlaster here here
    SpywareBlaster tutorial
  • Download iespyad
    It puts many bad webpages on your restricted zones list. This means that you can still view the
    bad
    webpages, but the webpages cannot do certain things (such as use javascripts and cookies).
    If you need help understanding how it works, there is a tutorial here
    Download it here
  • hosts file:
    • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
    • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
    • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
    • However, it can slow down certain computers.
    • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
    Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
    If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
    • Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
    • Click run
    • In the dialog box, type services.msc
    • hit enter, then locate dns client
    • Highlight it, then double-click it.
    • On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
    • Click ok


  • Keep Anti Virus Software updated - Most AVs will update automatically, but if not I would recommend making updating the AV the first job every time the PC is connected to the internet. An AV that is using defs that are seven days old is not going to be much protection. If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.


    • Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
    UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
    Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
    Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
    Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.


    Stand up and be Counted.

    NOW is the time you can start to hit back at the people who infected you.
    [external image: Posted Image]
    Please take the time to go and complain - that forum has a topic for your infection which is WinAntivirus please post as a reply, you do not need to register to do so (but you can if you wish). It will also have a list of other places you can go to to register your complaint, depending on the country you are resident in. Please read the topics and complain, it is only with such complaints to goverment or government agances that something will get done.


    Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system… problems etc.

    Have a great day,
    Blade
Post #13
So far that I can tell everything is back to normal. Surfing is a little slow, but that just could be my system. Before when I would google something…I would get 15 pop ups but now I get none. Blade I want to thank you so very much for the time you spent to help me. Thank all of you guys/girls here that help us out. I will be sending a donation because you have saved me a lot of money and headaches. I did everything you suggested and again I just want to say thank you for taking care of this for me. I am not sure how to ask for the close of this forum but I will look around to see how to do that. You are wonderful and I appreciate what you all do here!~ Billi :D
Post #14
I do have one more question, Can I delete the ATF cleaner and the AVG anti- apyware or should I keep them and keep doing checks with them? Or should I just use the ones that you suggested I download in your last post?
Post #15
You're welcome Billi. :) I would keep AVG Anti-Spyware and run it occasionally. It's good idea to keep ATF cleaner too and run it about once a month.
