On the 18/04/2007 5:42:59 PM my son received this message … http://www77.ratemynuts.net/view_nuts.php?…***@hotmail.com :|
from a trusted friend when he was on msn. He clicked on it because his hotmail address (which I have changed to *) was in it and as you can see he though his email address was at this questionable web site. As soon as he clicked on it he said it started downloading “stuff” into our computer. On top of that he says his msn friends are now becoming infected when he goes on msn…not always but sometimes. Needless to say we have had nothing but problems since. I


I Have included the messages I have received from my antivirus when I try to run LiveUpdate …

LU1860: LiveUpdate has detected a potential security compromise on your computer: one or more entries for Symantec LiveUpdate servers exist in your Windows hosts files.

LiveUpdate server entries should not appear in your Windows hosts files.
IP Address Host Name
1.1.1.1 liveupdate.symantec.com
1.1.1.1 customer.symantec.com
1.1.1.1 service1.symantec.com
1.1.1.1 symantec.com

Remove these entries from the hosts files (Recommended)
…Than it ask me to click on ‘Perform this Action’…and I do…than a window pops open that says..

LU1862: LiveUpdate was unable to remove the host entries from all Windows hosts files. As a result, the LiveUpdate Security Warning dialog may appear again in future runs of LiveUpdate.

I click on it and and nothing happens so I click on the ‘OK’ below and LiveUpdate window opens up and I start the LiveUpdate…it does it’s thing and than tells me LiveUpdate session is complete and I close it

I have included the HJT log.

And last thing… I went to Symantec ‘SymantecTM AutoFix Tool’ sight and tried to see if it could be fixed this way but it didn’t work as I couldn’t get into there sight once the problem was diagnosed.

Oh yes one other thing my system restore seems to be turning itself off every time I shut down the computer. Of course I tried to go that rout but once it’s been shut off all restore points have been lost

Messenger Plus! Questionable program !!!!
Messenger Plus! (MessengerPlus2, MessengerPlus3) (MP) is an add-on for Microsoft's free messaging programs Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger. It is a 'free' download (with a few stingers in its tail). MP includes an optional Sponsor Program provided by C2Media. The Sponsor Program is commonly known in the anti-spyware and adware world as 'Lop' or 'Lop.com'. There has been a problem since Messenger Plus! first started including the Sponsor Program in approximately May 2003, with users installing the Sponsor Program without understanding what the Sponsor Program is, what it does to a user's system, or the privacy implications involved.

Messenger Plus!, if installed to include the 'sponsor program', will install adware on your computer that generates pop up windows. The Sponsor Program will also change your home page, your search engine settings, place numerous links in IE favorites (including online casino and gambling links) and place more links on your desktop. The search toolbar that is installed cannot be turned off. The pop up advertising windows will appear even if you are running IE's pop-up blocker. This is because the Sponsor Program adds its advertisement URLs to the pop-up blocker exclusion list. If you want to reinstall MessengerPlus3, make sure you click "I refuse, do not install the sponsor program". This program is not required to start automatically as you can start it manually if you need it. It is advised that you disable this program so that it does not take up necessary resources. It may be worthwhile to fix it with HijackThis. These are the items to fix in HijackThis:

In your next reply I would like to see:
  • A new HJT log
  • The report from AVG anti Malware
  • Let me know how things seem now.
Hi Bob Thanks so much for your reply and so sorry it took me so long to get back on. It is 12:36pm and I just got back to the computer after a couple of hectic days I will try your fixes but it might take me a couple of more days to reply again as I am also sorting out some non computer related issues. I did manage to remove O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MessengerPlus3] "C:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! \MsgPlus.exe" ….using HJT fix Quote "Search for and remove Now I want you to search for and delete the following file if present. If you need help finding it. Click start /search/ all files and folders/ look for More advanced options. once in there select the first 3 boxes. Please just remove the files/folders I listed in BOLD C:\WINDOWS\ALCMTR.EXE" C:\WINDOWS\ALCMTR.EXE…..Yes I found this file but when I tried to delete it I got this message…Cannot delete ALCMTR:Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write_protected and that the file is not currently in use. So I opened widow’s task manager…Processes tab …found it and clicked on End Process than I went back and deleted it and it is in the recycling bin. When I did the search these two items where also found C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\ALCMTR.EXE-01A7139B.pf C:\hp\drivers\audio_HD_realek\Alcmtr.exe I didn't do anything to these two though. I will get back to this tomorrow evening as it is now 1:26 and I have to get up for work @ 5:30. I will continue with the things you have asked me to do and let you know ASAP Thanks so so much for taking the time to help me Dorathy
When you can try 2 things.


_____________________________
Task Manager
I would like you to open the task manager by pressing simeltaniously
Ctrl+Shift+Esc or cntrl /alt/delete
then go to the processes tab and end the following if present:
by: right clicking on and choosing end process.


ALCMTR.EXE

Now try and delete it.

________________________________

If that doesn't work try the same thing in safe mode.

___________________________________
Safe mode:
Please reboot to safe mode:
After the very first black screen start tapping the
F8 key untill prompted with a list…. choose safe
mode.

________________________________________
Don't over worry about this one to much it is a very small issue.
It's more important you do the hosts file change and the scan from AVG first. :thumbup:
Hi Bob Ok working on this Unzip HostsXpert.zip Double click on HostsXpert.exe Then click on "Restore Original Hosts" to restore your Hosts file to its default condidtion.. Click on Make Hosts Read Only to secure it against further infection. Close program when complete. There is no tab that says "Restore Original Hosts"…These are the tabs "Make ReadOnly?" "Backup /Restore" "Import Options…" "Restore MS Hosts Files" Which one should I click on or have I done something wrong : ( Hope not!
Boy things are forever changing. Thanks for letting me know.


Please click restore MS host file.


1. Unzip HostsXpert.zip
2. Double click on HostsXpert.exe
3. Then click on "restore MS host files" to restore your Hosts file to its default condidtion..
4. Click on Make Hosts Read Only to secure it against further infection.
5. Close program when complete.
Hi Bob

Ok I think I've done everything right. Concerning how things are running now.
No more warnings from Live Update,
Systems Restore isn't getting shut off everytime I reboot and,
There seems to be no more sending of the suspicious web address when my son is on MSN.

Let me know if I have to be concerned about anything elles?
Thanks again for all your help and here are the reports.

You need to update SunJava for security reasons.
Updating Java:
Download the latest version of
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1
  • Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1… allows end-users to run Java applications".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  • 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. It should have the [external image: Posted Image] icon next to it.
  • 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.

___________________________
A few optional fixes to consider.
____________________________
You have QuickTime running at Startup. This is QuickTime's system tray icon and not necessary for the program to function properly. It is considered to be a resource hog.
You will still be able to start it manually if you need it. You can fix this with HijackThis, but you will need to change the setting in QuickTime
Player itself to keep it from resetting itself.. This is the item to fix in HijackThis:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime

______________________________
You have iTunesHelper.exe running at Startup. iTunesHelper.exe is a process belonging to Itunes MP3 streaming tool
by Apple which allows you to play MP3's. This process speeds up iTunes when it starts, and the program also monitors
for connected iPod devices. This program is not required to start automatically as you can start it manually if you need it.
It is advised that you disable this program so that it does not take up necessary resources. It may be worthwhile to fix it with HijackThis.
This is the item to fix in HijackThis:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iTunesHelper] C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe

Post 1 last HJT log and let me know things are still OK
Again Thanks so much for your help.
It seems you have gone above and beyond what I had asked help for and I do appreciate that.
My computer is running much faster and I have also learned a thing or two :)

Thanks
Dorathy

It seems you have gone above and beyond what I had asked help for and I do appreciate that.
My computer is running much faster and I have also learned a thing or two

That makes it all worth while. TY.


1 last thing I forgot to mention then you may get on with your life.
Please also read my all clean speech as there are a few things to do to clean up a few things.

WeatherBug is a system tray icon that offers weather information and includes built-in ads. WeatherBug is controlled by AWS Convergence Technologies (weatherbugmedia.com). There is some controversy over whether WeatherBug should be targeted by anti-parasite software. AWS strongly deny their software is 'spyware', and by the definition used here, it is not, as it does not leak information back to its controlling servers. However, WeatherBug has in the past been silently installed by the FavoriteMan parasite and Freeze.com screensavers, and more recently has been bundled by software such as AIM and Blubster. This makes it 'unsolicited', and since it is installed to raise money for its creators through the built-in ads it is certainly 'commercial'. So it does meet the definition for 'parasite': unsolicited commercial software. It is nonetheless listed as a borderline case because it is not overtly harmful and many people do install it deliberately. WeatherBug bundles the MySearch parasite in its standalone distribution and has in the past, installed Gator and SVAPlayer.

I recommend that you uninstall WeatherBugand choose one of these alternatives if you like:
Weather Pulse
Weather Watcher
or
Get mozilla Firefox and then get FORECASTFOX!!!
or check the weather at these websites:
Weather Street: US Weather
Intellicast
To uninstall WeatherBug:
  • Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  • In Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
  • In Add or Remove Programs, highlight WeatherBug, click Remove.
  • Close the Add or Remove Programs and the Control Panel windows.
This is the item to fix in HijackThis: If it remains after you uninstall it.

Lets do a few things to tidy up.
Please do these in the order I suggest!







___________________________________
Please create a 'clean' System Restore Point:

Right click My Computer
Then Propeties then system restore
Place a check mark by turn off system restore
Click APPLY
Windows will give you a warning click yes
REBOOT

Now go right back to the same place and unchecksystem restore
Click APPLYand OK

A few things to help with possible threats
SpywareBlaster

___________________________________
Download and Install a HOSTS File This is not the same as we did with the host fix:
A Hosts file is a plain text file which prevents your computer from connecting to malware and spyware sites by redirecting the connection request to 127.0.0.1, which is your local address. If you use a proxy server, or if you are on AOL, be sure to read the special instructions.
You can download the MVPS Hosts File and see a HOSTS file tutorial here :
This website also contains useful tips, and links to other resources and utilities.

2. Click on the Security tab
3. Click the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.

Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialise 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.
