    Hi All

    My computer has a virus... well i think it does. it freezes up alot, not matter what you do, use internet, or other programs, it freezes, and you need to hold the off button to turn it off, when I am on the internet and click on a link (like from yahoo search) it never goes to the link, it goes to spam pages, i get loads of pop ups. I have AVG and TrendMirco installed, and everytime I run a scan it removes viruses and cookies. But it wont fix the issue

    can anyone help me? i would appreciate any type of help please!!!

    Hi katie2907,

    Your HJT Log shows some infections that SAS didn’t find…

    Do the following:

    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 full scan, then click Scan.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. <-- Don't forget this.
    • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt

    • Please post the MBAM Log and a fresh HJT log in your next reply and we’ll pick up what’s left.

    Hi katie2907,

    Well it’s not too bad to fix.. But you’ll have to follow the instructions..

    You have picked up a worm that’s usually associated with cracked programs, keygens and torrent files… I won’t tell you that your BitTorrent is bad for you, you’ll find out if you continue to use it : (

    The 01 lines in the HJT Log are what the worm does to protect itself, it blocks updates to your antivirus programs….. So, when you complete the cleaning steps here be sure to update your Trend Micro Antivirus with the latest updates and run a complete scan..

    This is the Worm you have:

    Fix entries using HiJackThis

    Launch HiJackThis
    Click the Do a system scan only button
    Put a check next to the entries listed below (if they still remain)

    O1 - Hosts: 202.95.235.88 iau.activeupdate.trendmicro.com

    O1 - Hosts: 270.10.25/1958 http://guru.avg.com/softw/80free/update/avginfowin.ctf

    O1 - Hosts: 270.10.25/1958 guru.avg.com

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

    O23 - Service: Print Spooler Service (ie4xo49yyiavi) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\nsnpcl.exe (file missing)



    The following are not spyware/malware, but I suggest you place a check mark next to the following entries. This will not delete the programs, but will keep them from starting and running in the background taking up system resources.

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SoundMan] SOUNDMAN.EXE
    (Description: System Tray icon for the Realtek AC97 Audio Sound Manager for AC97 onboard audio. Available via Start -> Settings-> Control Panel. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources. )

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe Reader Speed Launcher] \"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe\"
    (Description: Adobe reader startup - unnecessarily uses system resources.)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] \"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe\" –osboot
    (Description: RealPlayer scheduler. Completely unnecessary. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources.)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] \"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\jusched.exe\"
    (Description: Sun Java update scheduler. Checks for updates. Not necessary. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources.)

    O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE
    (Description: Microsoft Office Startup Assistant. This program loads some Microsoft Office components into memory, even if you're not currently using MS Office. Removing this unnecessary program will free up a considerable amount of system resources. )


    IMPORTANT: Do NOT click fix until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now

    1) Press the "Fix checked" button. Then close HijackThis.
    [​IMG]

    2) Then reboot your computer.

    3) Empty your recycle bin.

    4) Run Windows Update and install all critical updates.

    5) Make sure your anti-virus program is up to date with the latest patches. If you do not have an anti-virus program, download and install AVG Personal Edition Anti-Virus, which is free.

    6) Reboot one last time.


    Hope that takes care of all your troubles, let me know how it goes….

    Thanks for the help, it has cleared up alot of dramas- i havent had to restart a frozen computer yet (touch wood!). It is still running extremely slow, and takes FOREVER to do anything (my partner has a few thousand songs on it but it has around 160GB hard drive, shouldnt affect it should it?)

    When i run a scan with trend micro, it is still picking up around 5 "cookies" each scan, is this normal?

    thanks

    katie2907,

    I’m not saying that Bittorrent is bad, it’s one of the better P2P programs i.e. not bundled with adware, spyware, etc. And not ALL Torrent sites are bad, but any time you download using a P2P program you’re playing Russian roulette with more than 1 round in the gun….. That is, you can count on catching a bullet… : (

    P2P programs form a direct conduit onto your computer, their security measures are easily circumvented, and Malware writers are increasingly exploiting them to spread their wares onto your computer. Further to that, if your P2P program is not configured correctly you may be sharing more files than you realize. There have been cases where people's Passwords, Address Books and other personal, private and financial details have been exposed to the file sharing network by a badly configured program.

    This article from InfoWorld illustrates perfectly the dangers of a poorly configured P2P program.
    http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/09/06/Seattle-man-arrested-for-p-to-p-ID-theft_1.html

    Many of the programs come bundled with other unwanted programs, but even the ones free of any bundled software are not safe to use.

    When you use them you are downloading software from an unknown source directly onto your computer, bypassing your Firewall and Anti-Virus software. It’s hardly surprising then that many of these Downloads are being targeted to carry infections.

    Slow computers are not always caused by malware. It could be a highly fragmented drive or many other reasons… check this out: http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/slowcomputer.html

    Here’s a little addendum about the cookie question that I missed in my first post… [​IMG]


    Know good cookies from bad cookies. These little text files have a bad reputation. But much of that is based on ignorance. Cookies actually perform valuable services. For instance, they can shoot you right into a site so you don't have to enter your password.

    Here's how cookies work: Say you visit the ABC Book Co. You buy a book. The company downloads a text file to your computer, which includes an ID number. That's a cookie.

    Two weeks later, you go back to the ABC Books site. First thing, your browser checks for an ABC cookie. It finds it, and sends it to ABC's computer.

    When the ABC site opens, it says "Welcome back, Joe!" How does it know? The ABC Book Co. has the information about the sale two weeks ago in its database. It matches the ID number in the cookie to the sale information, and customizes the page for you.

    When you next make a purchase, you won't have to enter your credit-card number or address. That will already be filled in. Again, that came from the database, and was enabled by the cookie.

    That is all very convenient. But there are less desirable cookies, too. They're called tracking cookies. Say you visit the XYZ Brain Surgery site. There's a banner ad there. It is linked to an advertising services company. It downloads a cookie. The cookie says, "This person visited XYZ Brain Surgery."

    Next, you go to a heart transplant site. The banner ad there is associated with the same advertising company. The browser sends the cookie to the banner ad. The ad adds a notation that you visited the heart transplant site.

    Over time, the tracking cookie builds a profile of your interests. The advertising services company sells this information. That's why you start getting advertising for medical equipment.


    As long as your AntiVirus/AntiSpyware program is finding and deleting the Tracking Cookies and Data Miners……. Don’t worry about them.. : )
