Well, I've learned quite a lot in the last hour or two. I have uninstalled my P2P program (limewire) already and am now posting my hijack this log for you all to help me with. I'm getting random pop ups while I'm on the internet.

My Firewall is built into my modem, which is an actiontec. It is set to Medium security. I do not believe I have an antivirus program current on my computer.


I believe the virus that I might have is the Trojan.virtumonde virus. I ran a scan before I posted for help here and that trojan plus Trojan-Downloader.Injector are the two that came up on my scan.

I appreciate your help! It's great to have a resource like this. I'm glad I know now at least that P2P sharing is no good. I'll never do that again.

Hi SullyandDaisy, lets continue.

There seems to be no updates from Microsoft, i need you to run Microsoft's MGA Diagnostic tool and post its log.
1. Download http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 to your desktop.
2. Double-click on MGADiag.exe to launch the program
3. Click "Continue"
4. Ensure that the "Windows" tab is selected (it should be by default).
5. Click the "Copy" button to copy the MGA Diagnostic Report to the Windows clipboard.
6. Paste the MGA Diagnostic Report back here in your next reply.

Thanks

Hi SullyandDaisy, the reason i had you run the MGA Diagnostics tool is because you have no updates from MS. Can you explain why there is no updates on your computer.
These are very important in keeping you safe. So before we continue with the cleaning (which you are heavily infected) we need to solve this problem.

I have discussed your situation with my Teacher and we cannot clean your computer because we would be just wasting our time, yours and mine.

There are 2 things i suggest you do so we can continue with the cleaning.
1. I would also contact MS and find out why you cannot get any updates. They have a free support service for people who are having troubles with updates.

This is our last resort here:
2. A reformat and reinstallation of the OS may very likely resolve your updating issues as well as getting rid of all the malware on the system.

I wish i could be of more assistance in ridding you of the infections but without the updates and the service packs updated its impossible for me to continue unless we can figure out how to get you the updates needed.

Let me know what your thoughts are with this problem ??

Thanks
Chuck

February 22, 2009, 6:04 PM UTC
MS is microsoft? I don't know why there are no updates. I didn't know that anything needed to be updated. I guess I'm not understanding? Can I go somewhere to download them? Or how does that work? I'm not sure who I contact about getting the updates.

I want to add that my dad downloaded Avast! antivirus on my computer while I was at work and ran it. May I repost my hijackthis log, etc. from the beginning and have you look at that to see if I'm uninfected because I am no longer seeing symptoms and when I run a scan it says there are no infected files found.

Also, I really want to get updates to try to fix this, but I'm not sure where to go to get them or how!
SullyandDaisy
February 22, 2009, 11:41 PM UTC
Okay, I want to repost all of these because I have gone through and updated a lot of things! I figured it out myself and had about 63 updates to do. I don't know how it got turned off, but it's back on now and set to auto update and install. Very strange. Here is my new log of everything:

  5. Select the Scanner tab. Click on Perform full scan, then click on Scan.
  6. Leave the default options as it is and click on Start Scan.

Hi SullyandDaisy, Since you already have Malwarebytes' installed i would keep this valuable tool. I run mine a few times a week to check my computer for anything it may have picked up.
You can continue to manually update and use MBAM as an on demand scanner.
There is also an upgrade to the paid version.
Instructions on use:
Click/open Malwarebytes' on your desk top, click the Update tab, click the box check for updates, use the option "perform quick scan".
# When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
# Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected


.............................


Congratulation you are clean !!! :cheers:

This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

  • Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows XP or Vista then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.

    You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

    Windows XP System Restore Guide

    Re-enable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

    • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    • Click once on the Security tab
    • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    • Click once on the Custom Level button.
    • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
