No! It's still in there! Something occurred to me today and I called the manufacturer number. The guy explained that the only way to access the
system drive backups in the D drive is through the system recovery disk, and this backed up my hunch that that's what the log meant by configuration. Then when I checked the D drive, the system drives had in fact been modified last Sunday night when I did the recovery.
Also, you should know that when I was in there last night, I would scan the files with Norton antivirus, if I was suspicious. The first one I did, it recognized as tooso.f and quarantined it. The second one was one you confirmed for me already, yet it didn't recognize it. Neither did the trojan tool. In fact, after that first check, Norton did not recognize a single one, and neither did the trojan remover. Not one. I had to find them and zap them all manually. I knew I was right when they wouldn't delete on their own. Mostly I couldn't go by file name, but by dates and times and similar characteristics, and odd hiding places. Man, it was like being in the twilight zone! I probably deleted a bunch of legitimate files, but I don't even care anymore. Whatever the consequences are, it can't be worse than cohabitating with
this.
This afternoon the first thing I did was reinstall Norton antivirus and update it. Then I went into system 32 again and saw that more files had been set up last night even while I'd been busy submitting my logfile here, and there were a bunch of new update logs from today as well. I read one that said
it had found a way to redirect its actions by installing something called wininet.dll. and channeling it all there instead. I don't even know what that is, or what it's trying to do, but I think it at least has partly to do with security updates. (Incidentally, did hjt say we had a Norton firewall? We don't, we have the Windows XP one.) This is because I keep going to the Microsoft update site, which keeps telling me my updates are current, but from what I saw last night, I think they're downloaded from the site, then not installed. Also, everything to do with security always says it's fine and running, but I get the feeling it's turned off or something, and last night I found something that said my firewall was turned off, when other things were saying it was on.
So here's the thing. I could give you a hjt logfile
but I'm telling you you won't see anything. Even when I redownloaded and updated Norton, and put its nose on a tooso.f file (yes, I'm positive! It was replicated this morning, and I think it was called something like TRJN.tbn or something along those lines) it just said, "Nope! This one's clean!" You'd never be able to pick it out from a logfile if Norton and a Trojan scanner can't see it.I noticed that many of them take on a file name that's almost identical to the legitimate one that's right next to them.
So I'll send you a logfile, but if it looks clean, and you tell me not to worry, I think I will scream, because my cursor is still showing working in the background, and I know I'm not just being paranoid. Should I just reinstall Windows and wipe out my D drive? And do you think I'm actually being hacked? If so, how do I change my IP address if my cable guy won't? He says I have a floating IP which changes every few mo. and what I'm saying is impossible with a firewall. I have a router too. He says that makes it even more impossible. I'm confused, and feeling like a bit of a pawn.
