Hi there

Requesting a check of my hijack this log. Ive been using spyware doctor and kaspersky a/v for some time and nothing showed up on scans. Having some problems with kaspersky and registy mechanic (wouldnt load any startup programs in system tray) so uninstalled kaspersky. Anyway enough of that, recently I scan with zonealarm anti spyware and found Adware registry cleaner, win32 coupons, and win 32 fuj… or something so I quarantined then deleted GREAT!! But now my system seems slow. I would appreciate any help and thanking anyone in advance for checking my Hijack this log


Regards to all
Phatrolla

Hi phatrolla,

Can't see too much wrong with your log, but that doesn't mean the machine is clean so we'll do some scans to check, but first some cleaning with HijackThis:

Temporarily disable Spyware Doctor
  • From within Spyware Doctor, click the OnGuard button on the left side
  • Uncheck Activate OnGuard
Then, open HijackThis, choose Do a system scan only and place a checkmark next to the following line:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

If you want to remove the custom Internet Explorer Title AAPT you can also check this line:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title = AAPT

Then close all open windows apart from HijackThis, press Fix checked, OK the prompt and close HijackThis.

Re-enable Spyware Doctor
  • From within Spyware Doctor, click the OnGuard button on the left side
  • Check Activate OnGuard
Scan with F-Secure Online Scanner
  • Open this page in Internet Explorer:
    http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml
  • Press Start scanning - this will open a new window
  • Allow the ActiveX control to install and run
  • Accept the license terms and click Full System Scan
  • The scanner will now download, then it will fully scan your computer for malware - this will take some time to complete
  • Press Automatic cleaning (recommended)
  • Once it has finished the cleaning process, click Show Report
  • Select File->Save As…, change Save as type: to Text File and save the report to your Desktop
  • Post a copy of the report in your next response
Then download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS)
  • Close all applications and windows.
  • Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
  • When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt<-this one will be minimized
  • Make sure Format->Word Wrap is unchecked
  • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your reply
Once complete, please post the F-Secure log and the DSS reports, I won't need a new HijackThis log as DSS includes one.
Hi there silver

I followed all instructions given. No problem with the fsecure log but the dss scanner only opened the main txt file. Please inform me if this is right or what I am doing wrong. Thanks again for your support on this one…


Kind regards
Phatrolla

Hi phatrolla,

Don't worry about the other DSS report, it's not necessary in this case. I can't say precisely what the F-Secure scanner found because it didn't appear in the log, however other than that your computer appears clean. So at this stage I think it's likely that the slowdown problem is non-malware related, and unless you have further concerns or reasons for suspecting malware as the cause, I suggest you look for non-malware causes of the problem.

Some suggestions for pinning it down:
  • Uninstall unnecessary applications via Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs
  • Turn off unnecessary auto-starting applications. Look at your HijackThis log for programs which automatically start - many are listed in the O4 section of the log, and turn of the automatic starting functionality from within the program. Note: Please do not useHijackThis to remove the entries.
  • Use Process Explorer to monitor resources on your system. Run Process Explorer minimized and when a slowdown occurs, switch to the Process Explorer window to see which process is using a high percentage of CPU.
  • Post in the Other computer problems forum here at Tom Coyote to get more help.
Your Java is outdated and is now a security risk
Go to Start » Control Panel » Add/Remove Programs
Search for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment…. )
(It should have this icon next to it: [external image: Posted Image])
Click that entry and then click on the Change/Remove button and follow the instructions to remove Java.
Repeat to remove all versions of Java.
Download and install the newest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE), from here:

Some tips to help you stay clean:

Operating system vulnerabilities can easily be exploited by malware so please ensure your operating system is automatically kept up to date by using Windows Update:
Go to Start->Control Panel->Automatic Updates
Select Automatic and select a suitable schedule

You have good protection software installed however please ensure it is kept up to date. Check that your antivirus and antispyware programs are set to automatically update themselves daily, and that your firewall is the latest version.

Spywareblaster is a free program which prevents the download and installation of Internet Explorer ActiveX based malware by immunizing your system against it. You can download Spywareblaster from here and a tutorial to help you get started is available here.

Consider a custom hosts file such as MVPS HOSTS. This custom hosts file effectively blocks a wide range of unwanted ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.
For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial by WinHelp2002
If you install this, be sure to follow the DNS Client service instructions before doing so.
