HJT Log. WinAntiVirus Pro 2006, other things

[Treece]

I don't know what's on my computer anymore. I have BitDefender but the stupid thing won't do scans or anything when I click on it so I gave up on it! Every once in awhile it pops up and says it blocked something, but yeah right...I've done this before, the ComboFix stuff, but of course I am not expert, so here I am to you guys, and thankfully you don't charge $50 a session!

My Problem: I did a Anti-spyware scan, the one that Yahoo! has. I got a bunch of the little stuff, a Rogue Spyware program, and adware on the last scan. It keeps telling me that it needs administrative rights to quarantine them but..um...I AM the administrator. I have not physically noticed any problems. No pop-ups. Computer is not slow. I mean I do recall a few popups saying they are scanning my computer for infected files, but that was awhile ago. I'm sure something is probably logging my keystrokes unbeknownst to me, and since recently my bank account has been affected, I find this highly possible. Along with help, does anyone know of BitDefender? Should I look into a new Anti-Virus program? I've never tried McAfee but it seems the rest of them just suck. Thanks ahead of time for the help. I've been here before and I know you guys are thorough and patient.

Oh, some added information, I rarely use I.E. if ever. I normally use Chrome, and occasionally Firefox since somethings don't support Chrome. not sure if that's helpful but thought I would try.

I've done everything as you listed, and as you said some lines may be missing, I did not find : O16 - DPF: {9BDF4724-10AA-43D5-BD15-AEA0D2287303} (MSN Games – Texas Holdem Poker) - http://zone.msn.com/bingame/zpagames/zp ... b79352.cab

Nor did I find BTDNA to uninstall but both BitTorrent, and DNA were uninstalled.

I do have a question, if you don't mind, why did Adobe Reader need to be uninstalled? Isn't it safe? Thanks so far for your help. The logs you requested are below.

Treece,
Good work.
The Adobe Reader version you had is obsolete. It is one of a number of programs that are targeted by malware purveyors.
Each time a software bug is found that would allow unauthorized entry into the system, criminals design a method to use the bug to their advantage, and Adobe releases a new version to counter.
Adobe Reader is attractive to criminals since it is so widespread in large corporations.
We will install a new version of Adobe Reader, which will be more secure.
------------------------------------------------
Remove Programs Using Control Panel
From Start, Control Panel, click on Uninstall a program under the Programs heading.
Right click each Entry, as follows, one by one, if it exists, choose Uninstall/Change, and give permission to Continue:
PopCap Browser Plugin
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_15 <== this is another one that is a "target"
Take extra care in answering questions posed by any Uninstaller.
I would also recommend you get rid of Viewpoint Media Player, but that is your call. It installs things without asking.
--------------------------------------------------------
You should Download and Install the newest version of Adobe Reader for reading pdf files, due to the vulnerabilities in earlier versions.
All versions numbered lower than 9.2 are vulnerable.

• Go HERE and click on AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
• Save this file to your desktop and run it to install the latest version of Adobe Reader.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Remove Registry items with HighjackThis. Start HijackThis.
Click Do System Scan Only. When the Scan is complete, Check the following entries:
(Any of these lines may be missing)

If you intend to remove the Viewpoint Media Player, check this line also, if it's present:
O23 - Service: Viewpoint Manager Service - Viewpoint Corporation - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe
Make sure Every other window except HJT is closed (No other tabs showing in the bottom tray), and Click Fix Checked
Click the "X" in the upper right corner of the HiJackThis window to close it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware

• Start Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. (right click and choose Run as Administrator)
• Click on The Update tab. Choose Check for Updates.
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• If necessary, start Malwarebytes Anti-Malware again.
• Once the program is running, select Perform Quick Scan, then click Scan.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• If it found any malware items. Check all items except items in the C:\System Volume Information folder... and click Remove Selected.
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location, and post the contents in your reply.
• The log can also be found using the "Logs" tab in the program. You can click any log listed to open its contents.
• Recent logs are named by time/date stamp in this format : mbam-log-2009-mm-dd(hour-min-sec).txt

Let me know how it goes. I am looking for the log from Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in your next post.

Treese,
You didn't waste my time at all.
You needed to get those old applications off your machine.
Now let's check the general scope of things with a multi-purpose scanner.
This could take quite a while (several hours). Please be patient and let it finish.
You will need to allow an ActiveX component, using Internet Explorer, to run it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Run an Online Kaspersky WebScan

• Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.
• Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
• It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
• When the Program and Database downloads have finished, (may take a while), Click on My Computer under Scan.
• Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
• You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As....
• Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
• Please post the contents of this log in your next reply.

Nothing here either.

Treece,
Looks like you're good.
I would keep Malwarebytes anti-malware (even buy the 26$USD lifetime).
If you use the free one, have it manually update and scan every week.

You may also benefit from this:
Install WinPatrol - Download and Install the Free WinPatrol, and view Instructions here: http://www.winpatrol.com/winpatrol.html
- WinPatrol is an active program that drops a "Scotty Dog" icon into the system tray (right click to check/change status), allows you to monitor/edit startups, services, Browser helpers, and prompts for permission if any program tries to change your system.

[Treece]

Thanks a lot for your help! I downloaded the WinPatrol, but thanks again for your time.
