Hello all,

I just recovered from the Brave Sentry virus. I did everything required and have been successful. I just wanted some of you experienced users out there to take a look at my hijack log and tell me if anything pops out at them. Thanks in advance. Also, I am using Trend PC-CILLIAN 2006. Thanks

Hi yianni54,

Can you tell me how you dealt with the Brave Sentry problem? This will help me make sure it has been completely dealt with. Also, tell me if you are now experiencing any symptoms, or have any reason to suspect you have further infections.

Your log shows that MSConfig is running at startup. This indicates that you may be using "diagnostic startup" rather than "normal startup" to stop something from running. While this is normally OK, it is possible that you have disabled something that will affect how we clean your machine. Please don't change anything in MSConfig yet, these instructions will produce a report of what programs are currently disabled so I can see the entries without requiring any changes:

Go to Start > Run and type Notepad
Copy/paste the following quote box into a new notepad (not wordpad) document. Make sure that wordwrap is unchecked.

regedit /a /e %systemdrive%\regkey.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig"
notepad %systemdrive%\regkey.txt
del /q %systemdrive%\regkey.txt

Go to the menu at the top of the Notepad File and Save as
Save it to your Desktop as "mslook.bat" (you MUST include the quotes)
Locate mslook.bat on your Desktop and double-click it. When notepad opens, copy/paste the content in your reply. When you close Notepad the CMD window will close automatically and the text file will be deleted.

Next, please do an online scan with Kaspersky:

Open Kaspersky Online Scanner in Internet Explorer

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky,
Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT and then Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
    Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
    • Scan Options:
    Scan Archives Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:Select My Computer
  • The program will start to scan your system.
  • Once the scan is complete, click on the Save as Text button and save the file to your desktop
Now open HijackThis, select Open the Misc Tools section
Press the Open Uninstall Manager… button, then press Save list…
Save the Uninstall log to your deskop and include a copy in your next response.
Now press Back and Scan and then Save log to create and save a new HijackThis log.

Once complete, please post the mslook.bat output, the Kaspersky log, the uninstall list and a new HijackThis log. Also, let me know about the things I asked about at the top of the post.
Hi yianni54, How are you getting on? If the instructions are unclear or something isn't working, please let me know before proceeding.
