Hi,

Could someone please have a look at this hijackthis! log for me and lend a hand with some spring computer cleaning? Someone downloaded something called " karaoke go round" on this computer and it will NOT go away, but that isn't our main issue, I really am not having any major issues with the computer that I can tell but this is more of a safe guard check.

Thanks

Sorry about the delay in responding

If you still need help, Scan again with HijackThis, and copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

[merbur8]

No need to apologize!

Here it is and yes I am having some issues, the computer is running rather slow, some programs will not remove when I know I have removed them, all in all the computer is acting quite strange, nothing "HUGE" however it is certainly not running like it should be and I try to keep up with "cleaning" as we have a large household and multiple users and as you may well know a computer is much like a car the more users the harder it is on it.

Thanks for your assistance

I suggest you do this:

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.


Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.

Upon completing the combofix scan was the computer suppose to restart? I had to ctrl/alt/delete and restart manually, I hope this isn't an issue.

Thanks again

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

File::
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe
C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe

Folder::
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint
C:\Program Files\Bonjour

Save this as Save this as "CFScript"




Drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe

Then post the results log and a new HijackThis log.


Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Seems to be running not that bad actually.

Question, the text file you asked me to place into the combofix " bonjour", what exactly was that? I noticed that quite some time ago and wasn't quite sure what it was, I did not think too much of it as my children are French students and thought it was something they had through school.

Thanks again for your time and help.

[LDTate]

Question, the text file you asked me to place into the combofix " bonjour", what exactly was that

it’s a Apple service that’s installed with iTunes called Bonjour and now also installed with Adobe Photoshop CS3. The core function of a Windows Service is to run an application in the background. When iTunes/Photoshop is completely uninstalled this service should be uninstalled too.


Good job

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
  
  
  • 
  
  
  Here's my usual all clean post
  
  Log looks good
  
  
  You need to create a new Clean restore point.
  
  Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points
  
  Click Start Menu > Run > copy and paste
  
  %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe
  
  Press OK. Choose Create a Restore Point then click Next. Name it (something you'll remember) and click Create, when the confirmation screen shows the restore point has been created click Close.
  
  Double-click My Computer.
  Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
  Click the View tab.
  Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
  Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
  Check "Hide protected operating system files."
  Click Apply, and then click OK.
  
  
  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    • Click once on the Security tab
    • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    • Click once on the Custom Level button.
    • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
  (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
  Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
  I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
  Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
  
  For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
  Note: I no longer suggest Zone Alarm
  
  Understanding and Using Firewalls
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
  This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
  If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
  until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer
  settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
  
  
• Winpatrol
  
  
• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.
  Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
