Hi jcr083062,

My name is Tomk. I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems. HijackThis logs can take a while to research, so please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following:

I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.
Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

Download Rooter.exe to your desktop

Then doubleclick it to start the tool
A Notepad file containing the report will open, also found at %systemdrive%\Rooter.txt. Post that here

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.

Then

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot (shut down your computer then restart it).

Also "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Hi Tom,
I did everything you said to do. after uninstalling and reinstalling his netgear software i was able to connect to the internet, but like before it disconnected after about 9 minutes. This isnt my system so i really have bookmark to go by as far as how it is running at the moment other than the internet issue. I've attached all requested log files.

jcr083062,

There may be problems not malware related. However, all the adware that was removed from the computer should speed it up considerably and often will help correct connection issues.

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.

I'd like you to run the following scan: Eset Online Scanner. Hopefully your internet will stay connected long enough to run it. It could run for a couple of hours. This will also serve as a test to see if it will stay connected.

Place a check mark in the box YES, I accept the Terms Of Use
Click the Start button.
Now click the Install button.
Click Start. The scanner engine will initialize and update.
Do Not place a check mark in the box beside Remove found threats.
Click the Scan button. The scan will now run, please be patient.
When the scan finishes click the Details tab.
Copy and paste the contents of the C:\ProgramFiles\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt into your next reply.

jcr083062,

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:

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 6 and save it to your desktop.
Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 12…allows end-users to run Java applications".
Click the "Download" button to the right.
Select your Platform: "Windows".
Select your Language: "Multi-language".
Read the License Agreement, and then check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
Click Continue and the page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save the file to your desktop.
Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
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-6u12-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
click the Delete Files button.
There are three options in the window to clear the cache - Leave all 3 Checked
- Downloaded Applets
  Downloaded Applications
  Other Files
Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
Click OK to leave the Temporary Files Settings
Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.

jcr083062,

Log looks good

Time for some housekeeping

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.
[external image: Posted Image]

The above procedure will:

Implement some cleanup procedures.
Reset System Restore.

Please re-enable any security that was disabled.
Please delete Rooter

The following is my standard advice for the future. Use what you can and pat yourself on the back for what you're already doing.

Please take time to read Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing. Very important information for your consideration is contained therein.

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

Also: "How to prevent malware"
by miekiemoes

Please respond back that you understand the above and let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, this thread will be closed Resolved.

Excellent Tom! My friend will be quite happy that he can get his system back. His antivirus lapsed so he needs to renew and i ordered another gig of ram because this thing only has 256 which is pathetic with XP installed on it. thanks so much.

jcr083062, Go to the "Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing" link I gave you earlier. There you can find links to download free programs that will work as well as paid ones. Have you got any other questions?
