[Odd dude]

Hello and welcome to the forums!

I'm Odd dude, pleased to meet you; if it helps, you can call me OD . I am very sorry for the delay in responding, but as you can see we are at the moment being flooded with logs which, when paired with the never-ending shortage of helpers, resulted in the delayed responding to your thread.
If you have already recieved help elsewhere please inform me so that this topic can be closed. If you have not, please adhere to the guidelines below and then follow instructions as outlined further below:

• Logs from malware removal programs (Hijackthis is one of them) can take some time to analyze. I need you to be patient whilst I analyze any logs you post.
• Please carefully read any instruction that I give you.
  Reading too lightly will cause you to miss important steps, which could have destructive effects.
• If you're not sure, or if something unexpected happens, do NOT continue! Stop and ask!
• Only YOU must use these instructions, they are not suitable for any other computer, similar issues or not.
• Do not do things I do not ask for, such as running a spyware scan. The one thing you should always do, though, is making sure that your antivirus definitions are up-to-date!
• If I tell you to download a tool which you already have, please re-download it and do not use the copy you already have. This is because the tools are updated regularly.
• In Windows Vista, all tools need to be started by right clicking and selecting Run as administrator!
• I am going to stick with you until ALL malware is gone from your system. I would appreciate it if you were to do the same. From this point, we're in this together
  Because of this, you must reply within five days. I will post a reminder should you seem to fail to do this, however, if you fail to reply within five days then, unless I have been notified of your absence in advance, the topic shall be closed!
• As I am still in training at the Malware Removal University, anything I do must be checked by an experienced malware fighter. This means there might be a slight delay in my answers.
• Lastly, I am no magican. I will try very hard to fix your issues, but no promises can be made. Also be aware that some infections are so severe that you might need to resort to reformatting and reinstalling your operating system. Don't worry, this only happens in severe cases, but it sadly does happen. Be prepared to back up your data. Have means of backing up your data available.

I am now analyzing your situation and hope to be back with you soon. While I am reviewing your situation, could you please do the following for me:

Make an Uninstall List
I need you to create an uninstall list so I can further analyze your situation.

• Start HijackThis.
• Click Open the Misc Tools section
• Click Open Uninstall Manager
• Click Save list...
• Save the list to your desktop, or any other convenient place.

Please post back:

• Uninstall list
• New hijackthis log

Before we begin cleaning you, I would like you to read the following topic:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=33112

I want you to realize this: Person-to-Person file sharing programmes are the #1 cause of infection to people. The program might not be infected, but the files you download with it most certainly can - and in fact, most of them will - be infected.

Please uninstall the Person-to-Person file sharing programmes mentioned below through Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

LimeWire PRO 4.18.3

Also uninstall any other P2P programs I may have missed. Thanks

After performing those steps, post a new Uninstall list.

[carp999]

I removed it. FYI: I hardly ever used limewire in the last 6 months.

That's good

ComboFix
IMPORTANT NOTE: ComboFix is a VERY POWERFUL tool. DO NOT use it without expert guidance.

ComboFix uses very brute tactics to rip malware off your system. Do not panic if your antivirus software warns you about the file.

Please disable all your antivirus software, firewalls, and antispyware software BEFORE running ComboFix!!

• Download ComboFix from here and save it to your desktop
• Disable ALL antivirus/antimalware programs before proceeding!
• Now start ComboFix.
• The tool will check whether the Recovery Console is present on your system. If it is not, ComboFix will prompt you whether you would like to install it.
• If it is not, make sure you are connected to the internet as ComboFix needs to download a file. When you are connected to the internet, click Yes and follow the prompts. When asked whether to continue scanning or to exit, click Yes to continue scanning (no need to disconnect from the internet as ComboFix breaks your internet connection for you).
• Do not touch the computer AT ALL while ComboFix is running!
• When finished, the report will open. Reenable your protection software and post the log in your next reply

If you cannot connect to the internet after running ComboFix, plug the cable/reciever/whatever you use to connect to the internet out and back in.

Where do I get the link to download combofix

[Odd dude]

Sorry for the unclarity. The word "here" was supposed to be a download link to the tool.

Here it is again: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe

[carp999]

should i run it in safe mode?

[carp999]

I can't get mcaffee to turn off. ive gone into start up and ive unchecked all the services from starting up and i don't see any mcafee icons in the tray at bottom of tray as usual. However, when i run combo fix it tells me that it thinks mcaffee is still open and its recommended to close it? ive done control alt delete to look at processes running and i dont see anything related to mcafee running. Now, there is always a possibility that something is running and I don't recognize it to be mcafee. Please advise.

[Odd dude]

when i run combo fix it tells me that it thinks mcaffee is still open and its recommended to close it?

It's safe to continue.

The reason I ask you to turn off your protection software is that ComboFix uses.... "obscure" techniques to kill off malware. These techniques will raise protection software's eyebrows, to say the least.

Since ComboFix did successfully start, it is safe to continue.

If in doubt, run ComboFix in safe mode. Don't worry if it prompts you with that message.

[carp999]

I got upset and reformatted the harddrive. Case closed. Thanks for your help and time.

[Odd dude]

Well, that's a shame.

You're now clean of malware - please follow a few of the following tips; they will dramatically reduce your chance of getting infected again.

• Install a firewall
  There is no firewall installed on your computer! Either that, or you're using Windows Firewall, which is not a good idea.
  
  Firewalls are programs that monitor incoming and outcoming connections to your computer. Did you know that, just by connecting to the internet, you are being exposed to hundreds of treats immediately? The way to solve this, is to use a firewall, and up-to-date antivirus software.
  
  Windows Firewall only monitors incoming connections. This means that, once you are infected, the malware is free to ask for new instructions, send private data to its creator, or invite its malware buddies to come over. In other words: it's almost as good as no firewall at all.
  
  Download a free for personal use firewall NOW from one of these sources:
  COMODO Personal Firewall
  Online Armor Free
  
  (COMODO also bundles antivirus - if you already have antivirus software make sure you don't install COMODO's antivirus as well).
  
  
• Turn on Automatic Updates if you have not done so. It is MANDATORY to keep your Windows updated, otherwise you are vulnerable to exploits! To turn on Automatic Updates: click Start > Control Panel > Security Centre > Automatic Updates.

Below are optional items. It's highly recommended to read them through, but decide for yourself how many of these recommendations (if any) you follow.

• Install WinPatrol from here. Instructions for use are here.
  
  
• Install SpywareBlaster to protect you from bad sites. Download - How to use it
  
  
• Install a custom hosts file. Let's say I have a directory of 640kb's worth of bad sites. Let's say I can make sure you will never be able to access those sites, so you will never get any infection from those sites. It's like blocking a site - without site blocking tools. How would you like to never be able to visit (a lot, but not all of the) malware-infected sites again? Well, now you can!
  First, we must disable a service, as Windows cannot work with a very large hosts file while that service is active. This will not affect anything else.
  The disabling routine:
  
  1. Click Start, then Run
  2. Copy and paste the following:
     

     Code: Select all

     sc config dnscache start= disabled

  3. Click OK.
  Next, you can download the custom hosts file from here. Installation instructions can be found there as well.
  
  
• Install Sandboxie. Sandboxie isolates programs into a sandbox. When you get infected, and the program that caused this (i.e. Internet Explorer) is inside the sandbox, the infection will remain trapped inside the sandbox. Then it only takes a few clicks to empty the sandbox and thus kill the virus. Sandboxie is completely free! Download it here.

Note that using Sandboxie does not guarantee that you will never get infected. Some malware can bypass Sandboxie, so don't let your guard down!

Please reply to this thread once more so we know it can be archived

Happy surfing!!
