Hello,

I am submitting a log for review for the following problem/reasons:
1. At times I have 100% of computer resources being used with only a browser running. And it freezes (momentarily) the computer up.

2. I have had the blue crash screen where my computer just plain fails.

3. There are some files that I do not have permission to open even though I am logged on as administrator.

4. I ran RunAlyzer and tons remained when I asked to show all but legit. I spent a long time trying to understand it, but to no use. :pullhair:

5. When I have tried to look at running processes and then google them to see if they are legit I've bumped into some virus information that seemed to pertain, but when I tried to go further say with identifying it with their technical info my limited knowledge stopped me. I am unable to give much detail because this has been gong on for over a year and time and other duties interrupt me and I loose the slight grasp I had on the problem. But one that I remember talked about the virus creating an IPC$ entry and I saw that on one of my notes I had written. But when I searched it now I don't find it.

So in summary, I don't have very much good detail to offer.

Thank you for your time and effort. You are more than wonderful. :thumbup:

This is the hijack log:

PS I sure hope I am in the right place and followed directions. :blush: ! I tried so hard……….

I see that you are running msconfig in /auto mode which means that you may have selectively removed some items in the past from the startup procedure.
This can be bad if they are malware, so we would like you to reenable those startup entries by doing the following:

Please click on start, then run, and type msconfig and then press enter.
When the window opens click on the startup tab and make sure there are checkmarks in every entry.
Then press ok until you are out of the program. If it asks to reboot, do not reboot.

Now please create a new Hijackthis Log and post it as a reply.

Dear Little Eagle,
It is wonderful to be reminded of nature in your screen name. And as a further aside we have 2 bald eagles living in the wetland reserve which is about a mile from us. I have only seen 1 of them once 2 years ago, but I am not outside much. And when I am out, I am sad to say, I'm not very good at identifying wildlife. My brother, on the other hand, who is outside often - and a keen and knowledgeable observer - also says that to his surprise that he has not seen the eagles either. I think I will have to research a bit and see if that is a characteristic unique to them!

Onto the computer task at hand……

But first, thanks for your assistance. I appreciate it immensely. :notworthy:

As you noticed I did have some items unchecked in the start menu in my desperate (futile) attempt to try and figure out what was running. I checked them as directed without restarting.

Is is normal after making changes to the sys config to get a message that says: Access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. I am logged in as administrator. But even though it says denied it appears the changes are in fact made.

Since I just recently loaded Spybot I was at first startled when it popped up the registry notice. But as it kept popping up I finally saw the info box (duh!!) and read that. How neat! Those entries have plagued me for years. I'd read about (google) them, but was always left uncertain because some entries said they could be either legitimate processes or a virus. Is Spybot smart enough to know that difference? Is it determining where the process is running from when it gives the information?

There was one entry I denied. Well 2 really. The first one I denied was a legitimate application, but it was the first entry/pop up message and I didn't know what was going on. But one that I denied because it had absolutely no information seemed unlike all the others Spybot handled was
hkcmd.exe located in C\Windows\system32\hkcmd.exe

Then I ran hijack this. (In an incomplete attempt years ago to post to a board I ran it, but at that time you had to put something in the same directory with something else etc etc. And now, like magic, it did it all and all by itself!)

The log follows. Have a nice day. Grammie

After reading your message again, now I'm thinking I should have allowed hkcmd.exe to make the registry change. But that choice felt like I was permitting the virus to do it's thing if it was a virus? I'll have to count on your patience if I need to redo it. Computing leaves me with more questions than answers! :wacko: Grammie

Hello Little Eagle, Oh, when I started at 6 a.m. I though….great - i've got an early start - I can get all this done by lunchtime. Well, not quite! it went well until the Panda scan. I did all including downloading the active X and then it said it was scanning, but I watched and then left and came back - -so for about 6 hours it was right where I left it. I will include a picture of where it sat saying it was scanning. Does that look right? My internet options are probably not set correctly. I tried lots of things, but it never ran any differently. I will also past the report of the 2nd item (malware). I did do the cleaner first. Also, if there isn't a problem. Great! We don't have to find one!!!! thanks again.

Lets try to run an F-Secure online scan.
  • Click HERE
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Start scanning button. A window will pop up.
  • Allow the Active X control to be installed on your computer, then click the Accept button
  • Click Full System Scan and allow the components to download and the scan to complete.
  • If malware is found, check Submit samples to F-Secure then select Automatic cleaning
  • When cleaning has finished, click Show report (this will open an Internet Explorer window containing the report)
  • Highlight and Copy (CTRL + C) the complete report, and Paste (CTRL + V) in a new reply to this post
If Automatic cleaning with Submit samples hangs, click Cancel, then New Scan
  • When the cleaning option is presented, Uncheck Submit samples to F-Secure
  • Click Automatic cleaning
  • When cleaning has finished, click Show report (this will open an Internet Explorer window containing the report)
  • Highlight and Copy (CTRL + C) the complete report, and Paste (CTRL + V) in a new reply to this post

Note: This scan will only work with Internet Explorer.
You must be logged on a administrator rights to run this scan.
The scan may take a few hours.

Good morning, Here is the scan result……… BTW I did have a couple of questions I asked in an earlier post that I am wondering if you could answer. I copied them after the report below. thanks again.

I decided to find and copy the questions I referred to…………. 1. There are some files that I do not have permission to open even though I am logged on as administrator. 2. I ran RunAlyzer and tons remained when I asked to show all but legit. I spent a long time trying to understand it, is this typical? 3. Is is normal after making changes to the sys config to get a message that says: Access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. I am logged in as administrator. But even though it says denied it appears the changes are in fact made. 4. Since I just recently loaded Spybot I was at first startled when it popped up the registry notice. But as it kept popping up I finally saw the info box (duh!!) and read that. How neat! Those entries have plagued me for years. I'd read about (google) them, but was always left uncertain because some entries said they could be either legitimate processes or a virus. Is Spybot smart enough to know that difference? Is it determining where the process is running from when it gives the information? 5. There was one entry I denied. Well 2 really. The first one I denied was a legitimate application, but it was the first entry/pop up message and I didn't know what was going on. But one that I denied because it had absolutely no information seemed unlike all the others Spybot handled was hkcmd.exe located in C\Windows\system32\hkcmd.exe. Is that one ok? Should I delete it? thanks again. Grammie

1. I need more info please
2. Have never used but I would say yes— I'll look at the program latter if I have time.
3. I really don't know :blush:
4.

Is Spybot smart enough to know that difference?

I would say no.
5. This should give you the info needed. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/hkcmd.exe-1962.html

—————————————-

I would remove spybot and delete the folder then reinstall it. This would clear out all the teatimer entires and give you a clean start. ;)
