help -- pdf/exploit.gen trojan thanks!

[shelley2940]

Oh, my.....I am a bit ticked off.... I had a long explanation/request and my internet decided to crap out on me. My connection was working.....GRRRRRRR!!!! Now I have to start over, again mooching off my neighbors access.

I am afraid that is part of the problem. Yesterday I couldn't get on using my wireless router....something popped up about resetting it....no clue what that means or how to do it, so I just clicked cancel. I was able to get on through my neighbor...I know, not kosher, but hey....she should secure it!! Anyway, later I was looking at the Niagra Hilton website, and up popped a note from ESET Smart Security that something was trying to access the internet and it had been quarantined. Freaked me out!! Does quarantine mean it's still on my computer and can wreak havoc?? I'm clueless and in dire need of help The following is what my quarantine detected threat log says:

Sanner: HTTP Filter
Object: File
Name: hXXp://blackacez.cc/test/foxpdf.php
threat: PDF/Exploit.Gen trojan
action: connection terminated -- quarantined
Information: Threat was detected upon access to web by the application: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.


My firewall log has several questionable entries (at least to me who, again, admits she is clueless!)
On 9/2/2009 and 6/24/09 Several intances of "Detected covert channel exploit in ICMP packet" What does this mean?
On 6/11-6/18 multiple occurances of "Detected DNS cache poisoning attack" What does this mean?

After spending many many hours searching the internet for what this trojan is and how to fix, I just ended up confusing myself more :-( I'm also worried about the possibility of a keylogger and other nasty stuff on my computer. I do keep my windows updated as well as ESET Smart Security.

Someone -- please help!!!! Thanks a bunch!!!

By the way....I have a Dell XP laptop running Vista and here is my HiJackThis log:

_________________________________
Welcome to the Forums.

The fixes we will use are specific to your problems and should only be used for this issue on this machine.

Please only use this topic to reply to. Do not start another thread.
If any other issues arise let me know.
The process is not instant.
Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear.
Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
So lets do this to the end!

• Save and quit any work your doing before beginning the fix.
• All hijackthis logs I ask for should be done in normal mode ( not safe mode)
• These logs should be done last after you have followed my instructions in the previous post.
• DO NOT be installing new programs while we are fixing this machine.
• Be sure to use the subscribe button to receive notification by Email that you have been replied to.
  If I do not hear from you in 3 days from my last post this topic will be closed. You will need to start another.

Please if you decide to seek help at another forum let us know. There is a shortage of helpers and tying 2 of us up is a waste of time.
If you have any questions about any advice given here please STOP and ask!


As your using Vista many tools we use will have to be right clicked on and choose run as administrator . Just keep that in mind.





First off. Once Eset or any other anti virus program quarantines something it's just that Quarantined and safely put away to cause no problems.
What your describing that it finds is a site that is known to have something on it that may hurt your machine and eset has done it's job by protecting you.

On 6/11-6/18 multiple occurances of "Detected DNS cache poisoning attack" What does this mean?

This is your firewall blocking attacks. Some may be false positives. This you would have to take up with Eset.
But mostly your firewall is doing it's job.

Resetting your router.
Let me know what type of router you have and I'll try and help. Although not my forte.
Basically to reset a router you turn it off ( pull the plug) wait 1 minute and turn it back on.


Now to your log.
Nothing nasty in there. But we will look a bit further.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
