I keep getting Internet Explorer pop-ups that are from ad-sites that keep popping up. I am using Mozilla Firefox as my internet but I also have IE on my computer. I did a HijackThis scan and here are the results. If it possible can you please help me with my problem.

Hello GOPACKGO4 and welcome to the What the Tech Forums

My name is Trevuren and I will be helping you with your problem.


Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
alternate download link
  • Double-click on Download_mbam-setup.exe to install the application. (If using Windows Vista, be sure to "Run As Administrator")
  • When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
  • When installation has finished, make sure you leave both these checked:
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Then click Finish.
  • MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
  • On the Scanner tab:
    • Make sure the "Perform Quick Acan" option is selected.
    • Then click on the Scan button.
  • The next screen will ask you to select the drives to scan. Leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
  • The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
  • When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
  • Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
  • Back at the main Scanner screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart your computer. (see Note below)
  • The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log and exit MBAM.
Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process and, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\WService.exe (BackDoor.ProRat) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

The above means the following:

One or more of the identified infections was a backdoor trojan.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and download and execute files.

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the trojan has been identified and was killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?
When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

We can still clean this machine but I can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards. Let me know what you decide to do.

Hi, Trevuren I wanted to let you know I will be having someone restarting my operating system. I know someone that does it, and they did it for me in the past and they said they will do it for me again. I have two question I want to ask you. what is socialnetworking helper adsite? (socialnetworking does not have a space in it) I seen it in my add or remove programs and I wanted to know what it is and what it does. My other question I wanted to ask, is there anything else i need to do before i get this done? -Thanks Again

what is socialnetworking helper adsite?


I do not know. If you do not know either, then it should not be there.


My other question I wanted to ask, is there anything else i need to do before i get this done?



If you have followed all the recommendations found in the links that I provided and do not use your computer again… Then just wait for your friend to format your hard drive and do a clean reinstall.


Good Luck,


Trevuren
