my computer is sending hunders of spam email when i am online. i know because symantec keeps warning me about emails that don't go through. i did a norton virus scan and found no threats. i looked up a similar problem here "http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/516579" in the forum with thornton. he managed to fix the problem by deleting a .dll file by the name "tmwsock.dll" but i guess it has a different name in my case. any replys would be appreciated. Thanks here is my HJT log Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 5:07:37 PM, on 9/28/2007 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16512) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\Ati2evxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Juniper\NetScreen-Remote\IreIKE.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccSetMgr.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccEvtMgr.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Acer\eManager\anbmServ.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\CDAC11BA.EXE C:\Program Files\Ahead\InCD\InCDsrv.exe C:\Program Files\Juniper\NetScreen-Remote\IPSecMon.exe d:\MATLAB7\webserver\bin\win32\matlabserver.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG\MDM.EXE C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton Antivirus\navapsvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton Antivirus\SAVScan.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\symlcsvc.exe C:\Program Files\Canon\CAL\CALMAIN.exe C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPLpr.exe C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe C:\Program Files\Aspire Arcade\PCMService.exe C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel\atiptaxx.exe C:\Program Files\Launch Manager\QtZgAcer.EXE C:\Program Files\Ahead\InCD\InCD.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccApp.exe C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\PCSuite\DATALA~1\DATALA~1.EXE C:\PROGRA~1\Nokia\NOKIAP~1\TRAYAP~1.EXE C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Security Center\SymWSC.exe C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\bin\jusched.exe C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\PCSuite\Services\SERVIC~1.EXE C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\Juniper\NetScreen-Remote\SafeCfg.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\WINDOWS\winlogon.exe C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe C:\PROGRA~1\WINZIP\winzip32.exe C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe R0 -

Your problem is a trojan. O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nvchost] C:\DOCUME~1\Charly\LOCALS~1\Temp\~DP17.exe reseach the exacutable and you should be able to fix. I am not one of the experts so the forum leaders would not like it were I to give you instructions. Understandable as a simple mistake could foobarr your system Cheers xeres
i tried looking for the file in temp but i couldn't find it. the problem persists though less occasionally. thanks anyway xeres
There is more to cleaning your system than just deleting a file,and there is a good chance that there are other files associated with it that may need either to be repaired or deleted. That is why I suggested you research it. Put the file name I pointed out into a search engine like google ( ~DP17.exe ) and read about it. Besides that you will need to have some other programs that will assist you in deleting stubborn files like killbox etc.Instruction for there use vary's depending on what you need to do. You may also need to edit the registry. Deleting the file may provide a temporary cure ,,,untill the next time you boot up, and the problem is back. You have a trojan infection. As a starting point you could download Asquared( there is a free version),install, get any updates and than run the scan. You will also probable need to do some other tasks. Like I said I am not on the experts list and I don't think the moderators would like it were I to lead you through the fix. Cheers Xeres
i downloaded Asquared did a deep scan i was surprised with i found. i mean there acctual folders that i never knew of (even though i have "show hidden fiels" in folder properties). anyway i deleted all threats and today i will keep my pc running and see if i get a flooded screen in the morning. i read about killbox how it dels files in use by a program. i came accross 2 folders that acctually are empty. (at least thats what properties tells me) but everytime i try to del them "being used by another program." pops up. but thats nor here nor there. about my registry how do i access it? thx for the help. i know ur not suppose to help but thx anyway
hey thx xeres my pc has been cured. just downloaded a2 made a check got 21 infections del them all, and now all seams fine. thx
