Kazz,

I see that Viewpoint is installed. Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player are Viewpoint components which are installed as a side effect of installing other software, most notably AOL and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Viewpoint Manager is responsible for managing and updating Viewpoint Media Player’s components. You can disable this using the Viewpoint Manager Control Panel found in the Windows Control Panel menu. By selecting Disable auto-updating for the Viewpoint Manager – the player will no longer attempt to check for updates. Anything that is installed without your consent is suspect. Read what Viewpoint says and make your own decision.

To provide a satisfying consumer experience and to operate effectively, the Viewpoint Media Player periodically sends information to servers at Viewpoint. Each installation of the Viewpoint Media Player is identifiable to Viewpoint via a Customer Unique Identifier (CUID), an alphanumeric identifier embedded in the Viewpoint Media Player. The Viewpoint Media Player randomly generates the CUID during installation and uses it to indicate a unique installation of the product. A CUID is never connected to a user's name, email address, or other personal contact information. CUIDs are used for the sole purpose of filtering redundant information. Each of these information exchanges occurs anonymously.



Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is often installed without user's approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This may change, read Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware
It is STRONGLY recommended that you remove the Viewpoint products; however, decide for yourself. To uninstall the Viewpoint components (Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player):

  • Click Start, then Settings, then click Control Panel.
  • In Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
  • In Add or Remove Programs, Remove the Viewpoint component
  • Do the same for each Viewpoint component.

Azureus
You have Azureus, a P2P/file sharing programs installed on your computer. P2P applications like it are the largest source of malware we see. You'll be doing yourself a favor by removing it.

References for the risk of these programs can be found in these links:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/commun…protection.mspx
http://www.techweb.com/wire/160500554
http://www.internetworldstats.com/articles/art053.htm://http://www.techweb.com/wire/1605005…cles/art053.htm


I would recommend that you uninstall Azureus, however that choice is up to you. If you choose to remove these programs, you can do so via Control Panel >> Add or Remove Programs.

If you wish to keep it, please do not use it until your computer is cleaned.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to exploit and infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update:

  • Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check (highlight) any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button and follow the onscreen instructions for the Java uninstaller.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.
Now to Clean out the Java cache:

Go into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon. [external image: Posted Image]
  • Under Temporary Internet Files, click the Settings… button

umm cracks and key gens? what is this about? I'd rather not post this information is this a problem?
Post #20
Oh this is no problem I have legal copies of these things people have used my computer for many things Ive never gotten around to remvoing anything on this computer i fear that if I delete something it will mess with my computer so all i have to do is delete these things? Im not a bad person
Post #21
I will remove anything you ask me too because this is now my computer not roomates or anyone else i want to avoid as much trouble as i can and i really like the help that you provide =)
Post #22
Kazz,

If you know of any illegal programs installed on your computer, by all means, remove them.

If something comes up in one of the scans, I'll direct you to remove it.

You are correct that some programs may not work anymore, but you can always either remove them or get them legal.

I suggest that you continue with instructions and post the requested logs and reports.

Im not a bad person

I'm not here to judge. However, there are an amazing number of people who don't realize that running cracks is stealing. I will say that the majority, when they think about it, agree and promise to adjust their behavior. I will warn you though, that a OP who comes here contaminated with cracks , removes them, gets cleaned up, and then re-installs them, will have a difficult time finding help here (or alot of other forums) if they return with an infection caused by illegal downloads.
Post #23
Oh no i dont want to reinstall any of that stuff onto my computer it is probably the reason this computer is in such bad shape in the first place. I wasnt talking about certain programs the programs that i put on here i bought and paid for myself such as World of warcraft and Age of conan. I just dont want to get anyone in trouble. I will wait for a respond while i get everything in order to show you.
Post #24
Kazz, I'm not sure what you mean by "I just dont want to get anyone in trouble." I can assure you that no one will be in trouble for removing "shady" programs. If you are concerned about what you how in your post, try this. Run Rooter. Remove any crack and/or keygens that show. Re-Run Rooter and post the results. Then carry on with the rest of the programs and reports. Please do not double run ComboFix or do any editing of any of the reports.

Kazz,

This should take care of them:

  • Please open HijackThis and run Do a system scan only
  • Check the boxes next to ONLY the entries listed below(if present):
  • Close all programs except for HijackThis.
  • Click on Fix checked
  • A box will pop up asking you if you wish to fix the selected items. Please choose YES.
  • Once it has fixed them, please exit/close HijackThis.

Next

COMBOFIX-Script

  • Please open Notepad (Start -> Run -> type notepad in the Open field -> OK) and copy and paste the text present inside the code box below:

    File::

  • Save this as CFScript.txt and change the "Save as type" to "All Files" and place it on your desktop.

    [external image: Posted Image]
  • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before following the steps below. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
  • Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
  • ComboFix will now run a scan on your system. It may reboot your system when it finishes. This is normal.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.
CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Now how are things running?

Is Task Manager OK now?
