I'm not positive what's going on with this computer, I picked up and thought I cleaned a trojan via emailed photos.
There's nothing major going on, but something seems off…..
I've tried to figure out the log and what to fix, but I'm just too nervous to delete or fix anything. Here's the log from
hijack this:

_________________________________
Welcome to the Forums.

The fixes we will use are specific to your problems and should only be used for this issue on this machine.

Please only use this topic to reply to. Do not start another thread.
If any other issues arise let me know.
The process is not instant. Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear. So lets do this to the end!
  • All hijackthis logs I ask for should be done in normal mode ( not safe mode)
  • These logs should be done last after you have followed my instructions in the previous post.


Please if you decide to seek help at another forum let us know. There is a shortage of helpers and tying 2 of us up is a waste of time.
If you have any questions about any advice given here please STOP and ask!


I don't see very much wrong in your log. But we will look deeper.

  • Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
  • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
  • Login on your usual account.
  • Open up AVG anti Malware

  • Save the report to your Desktop.
  • Right-click the AVG Tray Icon and select Exit.
  • Reboot in normal mode.

_________________________
In your next reply I would like to see:
  • A new HJT log
  • The report from AVG anti Malware
  • I know this can sometimes be hard. But try to explain what you mean by "OFF"
Thanks much for the reply. Actually yesterday I spent some time researching at your site, and ran recommended programs. I also
removed the poker program, (unused anyway….), and did some minor clean up of that type.
I just ran the clean up program you suggest, and ran spy bot previously.

By off I mean little things. There's an icon at the start of many web addresses, but the wrong one will appear. I've had icons
disappear from my quick launch, and had to put them back there (like show desktop…I missed that one, and even though it's now back, it
doesn't actually show the desktop, but opens the desktop folder.)

I just ran HJT as suggested with your fixes, and here's the newest one. Can I eliminate the iconix (09) 's..? It was a program that was
supposed to verify email addresses but I got rid of that one too.
HJT Log today and AVG report of yesterday:

I don't use mozilla, how can all that be in there? I hate not knowing as much about computers as I would like to.

Thanks much again,

Jan
Hi Again, I forgot while I was trying to think about "off"….The computer wouldn't let me use a system restore to an earlier date after I had the email virus/trojan alert. Although I thought it was all cleaned up, I couldn't get to a restore point. I haven't tried again, but will set one once I know this is clean, if it lets me. Thanks, Jan
Yes you may remove the lines that have to do with Iconix:

O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: About Iconix - {BC3F6B6D-2E49-4603-B028-7411655713F3} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdocvw.dll

For your show desktop in quick Launch try this.
Navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\Uswers name\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

In there you will find a quick launch for show desktop. Right click it and choose copy. Place it on your desktiop then drag it into your quick launch bar.

More reading can be done here.

Another toolbar that I use for quickly seeing the desktop ( you probably know about it) Is the desktop tool bar. Right click anywhere on the task bar in a empty area
Click toolbars/ desktop.
This will place a desktop icon on the right side of your of your taskbar. By clicking it once a menu pops up so you can see all that is on your desktop.
Clicking an icon /shortcut will start any program on your desktop and double clicking a folder will open that folder. Very handy unless of course you have 400 items on the desktop that is.

Let me look at 1 more scan to be sure your clean.



______________________________

Download and install CCleaner from here


If you use either the Firefox or Mozilla browsers, the box to uncheck for Cookies is on the Applications tab, under Firefox/Mozilla.
  • Set Cookie Retention.
    Click on the Options block on the left, then choose Cookies.
    Under the Cookies to delete pane, highlight any cookies you would like to retain permanently (those companies or sites with which you regularly visit or do business), and click the right arrow > to move them to the Cookies to keep pane.
  • Reset Temp File Removal for Regular Use.
    Click on the Options block on the left. Select the Advanced button.
    Check "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours".


    Now run the program and click on Run Cleaner
    ( Do not use the Registry function to clean anything with this program. Having anything auto clean your regisrty is risky).

_________________________________
Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner
Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner
You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
Now click on Scan Settings
In the scan settings make sure 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


Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.



The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.

Now click on the Save as Text button:

Save the file to your desktop.

Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Please post the contents of the Kaspeskys scan in your next reply.
Hi Again,

Well, I guess the Kaspersky scan explains something. I do run av software, but I guess it
isn't the optimum product. To follow: Latest HJT log,
Kaspersky text file.

Should I just purchase their av and see if it will fix the "locked" objects?

Sigh….
Thanks, Jan

Scan process completed.
Alls Kaspersky showed were some infected points in system restore. Perfectly safe in there for now. We will be flushing that out next.

Follow my instructions below for creating a new restore point . Hopefully it still works on your machine. If not please let me know.


Great news ! [external image: Posted Image]

Your log now appears to be clean.

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


____________________________________
I see no evidence of a fire wall. I suggest you get one in place now.

A few words on Microsofts firewall. It only works in one direction. Incoming.
That means if something gets by it you would never know it was trying
to contact the internet.
Example: A bad program installs itself. You would never know it was contacting the internet.
Downloading other nasties and so forth.

If you decide to run one of these you should be certain Microsoft's firewall is disabled.
To disable it.

I will list a few free firewalls for you. These are good (free) firewalls:

Never run 2 firewalls together. They will interfere with each other.
So just download and install one!



Zone Alarm Easiest to use
Comodo another that's easy to use.





___________________________________
Please create a 'clean' System Restore Point:
The reason for doing this is in case you need system restore you don't put back all we just took out.
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 uncheck system restore
Click APPLYand OK




A few things to help with possible threats

These are optional . But will help protect you further.

Here's a site with great advise on how to AVOID malware. Much easier to do than removing it.


  • Be certain windows stays updated here
Safe and Happy Surfing. :)
Hi Again, Did as advised, inclusive, then ran new Kaspersky av and spybot. All seems ok now, back to the old normal, as it were. I'm interested to see if the hosts file makes much of a difference. I wish I could prevent cookies without pretty much preventing surfing whatsoever…. I guess this one can be closed. Thanks much, Jan
Since this issue appears to be resolved … this Topic has been closed. Glad we could be of assistance. If you're the topic starter, and need this topic reopened, please contact a staff member with the address of the thread. Everyone else please begin a New Topic.
