So, as I've had several computer problems, I decided to do a little cleanup this afternoon and what do you know, 12 hours later I'm still here. Here's an overview of what I did:
*My computer has been running slowly for a while now, but because my computer is old and was never reinstalled, I figured that it was simply slowly dying.
*Today I began my normal scans for spyware, with Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D. They found a couple of things, but nothing to worry about
(except that my IE security settings were tampered with, but Spybot corrected that).
*My AVG free anti-virus has been updated every day, and scans almost every day for a complete scan. It has been saying that my ntoskrnl.exe and user32.dll have been changed, but this happened right after a Windows Update so I gave it no other thought. I never let those get on the net though.
*I use Sygate Personal Firewall but that one has been giving me increasing crap about loading websites so I have to turn it off to make a connection to pages I visit every day. My Windows Firewall is still up and running though and now set to not allow exceptions
*Finally, I scanned with Trend Micro Housecall, to see if anything would turn up.
Two trojans, and one RAT apparently =/
troj_generic
troj_generic.ZA
RAP_generic.
Also various other spyware/grayware/malware I didn't note down - I thought Housecall gave you a little logfile but I was wrong.
It appears that Housecall cleaned those, but I now read that to get rid of RAP_generic you need to turn off system restore and go scan then?
Are they dangerous? I frequently use ebay, paypal or pay on the net, am I in any danger?
*REBOOT
*I installed Firefox 2 after I saw that my update was actually not the latest version of Firefox. This seems to have taken care of the display problem I experienced after my cleanups. Connecting is now better even with Sygate on. It also seems to run faster, but perhaps that is because some extra crap is gone.
*Ran ATF cleaner and got rid of everything but my saved passwords
*I ran a-square, which found several trace problems but nothing highly alarming (except my mirc application but that one seems fine, it was only a warning). I got rid of everything else it checked.
*Housecall ran again, and this time came up with only the two troj_generic entries. All others seemed to have gone. Since I rebooted, I figured it must've come back with System restore, so I turned that off, then asked Housecall to clean it up, which it supposedly did, rebooted and turned system restore back on.
*Another round of ATF cleaner
*Then I came here, got a HijackThis and here's the log:

I'm pretty sure there's a lot of crap in there that shouldn't be there.
(I changed my name to "MyName" in the logfile because last time I didn't and when I do a google search on my name I find my old thread and I'd rather not have anyone find what I have on my computer or something!)
Help?
