[Dr Blockbuster]

Hi,

I have got this trojan.w.32.Looksky spyware. The symptoms are that I get an error message saying there is privacy threat and then continual pop ups from ucleaner.com, udefender.com, safewebnavigate, and securep pccleaner. I have Norton 360. Over last few days ...I ran Norton liveupdate twice and ran full scans thereafter ... did not appear to pickup. I have also run AD Aware more than once. Also I ran Pc Doctor which seemed to pick it up .. like ucleaner and udefender . However after deleting them they still come back and it is almost impossible to use the computer because of the incessant popups. I seem to have got rid of the desktop background that had become a broken red X promoting ucleaner and udefender. On the desktop i have 3 icons installed (not by me) offering cleaning solutions.

Here is the logfile .... Can you help me at all ???

Thanks Dr B

This looks pretty good indeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!

I haven't seen any of the dreaded popups, but I notice I still have a ... hmmm.... 5-10 second "freeze" of the screen just infrequently ...

What do you make of the logs??

[Dr Blockbuster]

..... and Dr B is almost euphoric

I await your good advices

[Scotty]

Hi Dr B

What about THAT goal on Wednesday night?

Log is looking good.

No sign of any of these popups .. so it's cheering me no end !!!

What d'ja think ???

[Scotty]

Hi

Delete the SDFix and Combofix icons from your Desktop.

Navigate to and delete these folders (if they are present)

C:\SDFix
C:\Combofix
C:\Qoobox

Run HijackThis, select Do a system scan only and place checks against the following entries (if they are still present):
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0BF43445-2F28-4351-9252-17FE6E806AA0} - (no file)


WITH ALL OTHER WINDOWS CLOSED Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

I see that Viewpoint Media Player is installed. Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player are Viewpoint components which are installed as a side effect of installing other software, most notably AOL and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Viewpoint Manager is responsible for managing and updating Viewpoint Media Player’s components. You can disable this using the Viewpoint Manager Control Panel found in the Windows Control Panel menu. By selecting Disable auto‑updating for the Viewpoint Manager ‑‑ the player will no longer attempt to check for updates. Anything that is installed without your consent is suspect. Read what Viewpoint says and make your own decision.

To provide a satisfying consumer experience and to operate effectively, the Viewpoint Media Player periodically sends information to servers at Viewpoint. Each installation of the Viewpoint Media Player is identifiable to Viewpoint via a Customer Unique Identifier (CUID), an alphanumeric identifier embedded in the Viewpoint Media Player. The Viewpoint Media Player randomly generates the CUID during installation and uses it to indicate a unique installation of the product. A CUID is never connected to a user's name, email address, or other personal contact information. CUIDs are used for the sole purpose of filtering redundant information. Each of these information exchanges occurs anonymously.

Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without user's approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This may change, read Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware.
I recommend that you remove the Viewpoint products; however, decide for yourself. To uninstall the the Viewpoint components (Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player):

• 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 Viewpoint Media Player, click Remove.

This is my usual speech for when you are clean, which you appear to be.

Please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
Disable and Enable System Restore.

It's also a good idea to Flush your System Restore points after ridding yourself of malware:

• Click Start | Help and Support | Undo changes to your computer with System Restore.
• Click Create A Restore Point then click Next. Give it a name it and then click Create, then Close.
• Close the Help and Support Center box.
• Click Start | Run and type Cleanmgr
• Select (C: ) then click OK.
• Click the More Options tab.
• Click Clean Up in the System Restore Section.

This will remove all previous restore points except the newly created one.

Here are some free programs, I recommend.

Install Spyware Guard
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Guard here

Install SpyWare Blaster
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Blaster here

Install WinPatrol
Download it from here
Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here


Make sure your Windows is ALWAYS up to date!

An unpatched Windows is vulnerable and even with the "best" Antivirus and Firewall installed, malware will find its way through.
So visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ to download and install the latest updates.


Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.

Please check out Tony Klein's article "How did I get infected in the first place?"


Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help.

[Dr Blockbuster]

Wow! ... I'm just going out, but I'll BE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK to do these final steps.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MEANTIME
