Post #1
In July I purchased a new Pc because I felt the old one had been damaged by Malware. When the new PC was setup. the tech did not change DSL modem password, and also setup Netgear wireless at that time. I believe I became reinfected because these passwords were not changed.
My PC is running slow. I was unable to run Spyware Doctor until I recently updated to a newer version. Spyware Doctor found Trojan: Agentsd5. Also, I was unable to save my HJT log on my PC…..
McAfee was messed with. I am afraid it's infected again.Thank you in advance for any help!!!

Still having problems with:
Spyware Doctor with AV: The following exclusions keep being added to AV scan: DBX, OST, MBX, DBT, BAK, ISO, TTF, and PST. This program quarantined : Trojan Agent!sd5.
Windows update keeps listing "Office XP Service pack 3" as an important update but fails repeatedly to install.
AdAware 2007:will not update definitions. Error message SSL function failed.
Spybot S&D: cannot setup fullly and run: Error sending request connection with server could not be established.
Under Control Panel User accounts: ASP.NET Machine Account-password protected. I'm not sure what this account is. I had NETGEAR set up on my pc and I am not sure if this is related to the router or not.
I also have 4 internet explorer Icons on my desktop….they seem to be multiplying…

Thanks again,
Bella

Your problem doesn't seem to be malware related

Download RootAlyzer to your desktop.
  • Unzip it to a folder on your desktop, close all windows, and run RootAlyzer.exe
  • Click Ok to the two prompts and let the program run it's Quick Scan automatically, this should only take a few seconds
  • Click the Deep Scan tab, check all the boxes and click Ok. Let the scan run un-interrupted, it will take a few minutes.
  • When it is finished scanning, a Log tab will appear at the top, click that. Highlight all the text, right-click on it and press Copy.
  • Paste that information back here by pressing Ctrl + V, or right-click and press Paste. Also mention if you had any problems.

That means they are in use

Your logs are clean ! We need to do a few things


You can delete the tools that we used


You now need to update your Java and remove your older versions.

Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components.

* Click Start > Control Panel.
* Click Add/Remove Programs.
* Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in the name.
* Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and install it to your computer from
here



Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

* Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.

* To reduce re-infection for malware in the future, I strongly recommend installing these free programs:
SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX
IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all
Have a look at this tutorial for IE-Spyad here

* SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.

Make Internet Explorer more secure
  • Click Start > Run
  • Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
  • Click on the Security tab
  • Click Reset all zones to default level
  • Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
  • In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
  • Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

* MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

* Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more
secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up
blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from
Here

* Take a good look at the following suggestions for malware prevention by reading Tony Klein’s article 'How Did I Get Infected In The First Place'
Here

Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested.
