hi. not sure which section this goes as i'm new to all of this but here goes...

i just got a new computer. i did get bogged down with some viruses but i managed to clean them all... at least all my antivirus/spywayre/etc say i have nothing wrong. however, my desktop often crashes when i'm opening folders and such.

here is the report i got from that hijackthis thing. i'm new to all this so sorry if i don't know what i'm talking about or what to do. >_<

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums .

==========

Can you please do the following.

===============

You will have to disable Spybot's Teatimer before we begin, as it will interfere with the fix. To do this can you start Spybot and go to the Mode button and select Advanced. Go to Tools > Resident and uncheck the box next to Tea-Timer. Make sure that the icon in the system tray is no longer there. If it is, just right click on it and select "Exit".
Download ResetTeaTimer.bat.
Double click ResetTeaTimer.bat to remove all entries set by TeaTimer.
Do not forget to re-enable teatimer when we are done .
If teatimer gives you a warning afterwards that some changes were made, allow this instead of blocking it.

===============

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following, if present:

Viewpoint Manager

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {54EB34EA-E6BE-4CFD-9F4F-C4A0C2EAFA22} - (no file)

O23 - Service: Viewpoint Manager Service - Viewpoint Corporation - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

C:\Program Files\Viewpoint

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebyt...are_d5756.html) to your desktop.

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* At the end, be sure to checkmark the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad.
* Post the log back here.

Make sure that you restart the computer.

The log can also be found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt
Or at C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt

Post new HJT log.

ok, that's so much to do. i'm still on the resetteatimer.bat. when i click on it it's just a text file to me. i downloaded it as stated, but when i double click on it it just opens up in notepad.

I have uploaded it for you. Just unzip it to your desktop and run it.

ok that worked. thank you.

on to the next part: i found a viewpoint media player but no viewpoint manager. there is a via platform device manager.

Any of the following, but nothing else!

Viewpoint Manager
Viewpoint Media Player
Viewpoint Toolbar

ok, removed viewpoint media player. now did the hijack scan again and found:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {54EB34EA-E6BE-4CFD-9F4F-C4A0C2EAFA22} - (no file)

i put a check mark on them. i, however, did not find the third one. going to hit the "fix" button now so off for a bit.

now after rebooting, i tried to run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware but my anti-spyware has flagged it as a trojan. it's asking me to allow, block, quarantine. is this supposed to happen?

Allow it to run. It is a safe program that I recommend every day of the week . I am also a Moderator of this forum/site, so I will not ask you to do something that will harm your pc .

so far so good. running the full scan now. taking a long time but so far has found 0 infections.
