Do you have Adware, Spyware, Virus/Trojan or a Browser Hijacker?

@-camstuf-

Norton is for catching viruses not popup's (though it would be nice)

Its garbage...get rid of it! And as far as anti-spy goes..I havn't a clue as I don't use or need it.

I would highly recommend switching web browsers from IE to firefox web browser as firefox stopps pretty much every single popup.

 

Please help me - I just downloaded and ran hijack this and got a lot of entries. I had run adaware, spybot, and housecall scan (housecall came up clean) but I found out my adware away trial had ended (I loved that one!)and I can't afford it right now. I got hijack this for more protection, but I don't know what the log entries mean and am afraid to try to sort them myself (but I am trying to learn). Unfortunately, I don't even know how to post the log in this thread reply. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Thanks
P.S. Also, my computer is running veeeery slowly and microsoft antispy daily check says I have nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Also, NAV said there was only one item and it couldn't remove it "AdwareP2P...something" I do use two P2P programs, Shareaza and Ares - could they be sending spyware the programs can't yet detect? (I update regularly). I had Kazaa, and removed it, but could the port still be open in my firewall? I had windows SP2, heard bad things, got rid of it because computer was really slow and constantly crashing - removing it didn't seem to change anything, so when it came up as a regular update I put it back in - problem? A little off the subject, I only have 7GB free of an 80GB hard drive, could that be slowing me down? This is very frustrating, because when I originally ran the scans CJC recommended at the beginning of this thread my computer was like new - behaving like it did after I had reformatted. I really don't want to do that again, as I have a lot more stuff on the computer now that I would have to back up. I also considered using system restore (I've never used it) to go back to the point after the initial scan when the machine was running well. Should I? Thank you to whoever reads this for putting up with the ramblings of some computer silly newbie, and if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate them - thanks

 

Yes, adaware, spybot, and trendmicro online virus check - all clean - and still my computer is paging very slowly on explorer, and occasionally freezing up

Sorry about that last post, guys - I reread it and realized iI went [bold]way[bold] off the topic, so after searching I started a new thread - if there is anyone who is willing to help me but did not want to continue off the threads topic, can you reply to me on

 

personally i think spy bot is a horrible program i would use microsoft anti spyware and lava softs ad-aware only spy bot is horribly sloooow plus it dosnet get all spyware every time

 

i need help with my computer.. I dont know where to start, so I'll just tell you the problem. I can't open google.com or hotmail.com. Its horribly annoying. I ran adaware and search and destroy and it still isn't working. What should i try next? THanks for your help

 

camstuf
ya you should definately use Firefox. With Firefox you almost NEVER get any popups and it even protects you from most of adware/spyware/virus/trojan/hijacks you get from web sites.

coolins:

You also need to use antivirus software’ there are even some free ones. I recommend doing a scan here:
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

That will check for all kinds of malicious software.
Also, delete all your temp files and cookies and your internet temp files. And go in the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and check the list of all the programs installed, and remove anything you don’t recognize. Last but not least make sure you have the latest Windows updates and if you're using IE you need to switch right now to Firefox.
Hope that helps

 

Hi i need help i went on a virus infested website i was reading some forums on how to delete it i saw that hijack this was a good program so i downloaded it and i got a log but it was far to complex for me and i was wondering if anyone could help thanks jon.

@eLeCTR0n

Last time I used Firefox, none of my bookmarks/favorites worked anymore. And my WIFI would not work on my laptop.

 

@camstuf

When you install Firefox the first time you open it, it will ask you if want to import your bookmarks from Internet Explorer or other browsers. You can even use the importing wizard to import them later if you don't import them the first time you run it. If you don't import your bookmarks then they obviously wouldn't be there.

Now Firefox is only a web browsing software. It has nothing to do with network connections whether it's a LAN, WAN, Internet, or WiFi. Firefox only uses the connection to communicate with servers nothing more. So Firefox had nothing to do with your WiFi problem.

 

@eLeCTR0n, Thanks for the great info, I may try it.

 

hi! two nights ago, everything,(and I mean EVERYTHING), deleted off my computer in less than 15 seconds. I couldn't exit, all system programs, files and registry were sucked down the vortex. I rebooted with the manufacturers disc. However, since that time I can't get on the internet for half of the time, and applications freeze, end program doesn't work. I scaned with every program I could get my hands on, all are clear, no spyware found,virus,cookies, temp files, all compatable. I use gateway 505 with windows XP. Tried avast,sygate,adaware,spybot search and destroy,peerguardian,nod,mru blocker,ect..any ideas, other than "boy, are you screwed!?"

Since everything got deleted already, you should just do a fresh install and reinstall everything. Boot with Windows XP cd or the cd that came with your computer then choose New/Fresh install and format you harddrive with NTFS (not quick), Your computer will go back to how it was when you first bought it. Afterwards, make sure this doesn't happen again by doing the following:

1) don't go online with an administrator account, create a restricted/normal user and use that for the Internet
2) always have an antivirus running and check [bold]housecall.trendmicro.com[/bold] regularly to check for malicious software
3) have at least 1 firewall enabled if you don't have any 3rd party firewalls just turn on the windows xp firewall
4) update windows at least weekly or turn on auto-updates
5) use [bold]Firefox[/bold] and never use IE unless you must
6) delete temp files, cookies and web files regularly
7) use an anti-spyware/adware program like Webroot spysweeper
8) never run an executable (.exe) program u get in an email or from internet unless you exactly what it is and what it's going to do

These are just some things i can think of right now.
let me know what happens with you
