To all,

I definitely have the crap listed in the title. This is a work machine. Tried running Norton, it said I some cookies, and got rid of them. My Symantec pops up frequently scanning an outbound email, it looks like, even though I am not sending them, and there are no emails in my Sent folder (running Outlook Express). Every once in a while Symantec says it prevented a Trojan from running. Looking at Windows Task Manager I saw Freddy46.exe running. Searching it turned up no results. Looking some more, I see msnonfig.exe and svnhost.exe (for each of those files, the n has an tilde above it). So something is amiss. Seaching on svnhost, I came across this website, and the post: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread8202.html
So I have some stuff that is different, and before I start deleting, which I really want to do, I wanted to run it past the higher powers that be. I downloaded HiJackThis (as suggested in the other thread), and came up with the following:

So, if someone could point out to me what to delete, that would be highly appreciated. Also, as you can see, I was looking for a simple alarm clock, and finally found one that suited, but not before trying a few out. As you can see there are the remnants of many, which I had no idea I still had. The one I kept was 1Time, so I assume I can get rid of any instances of the others as well.

Thanks so much, I am really glad I found this forum.

ugh, just looking at this I have so much crap on my machine its disgusting. Looking at that antivirussys2009... that's related to the Antivirus System Pro that was popping up, but I was able to remove from StartUp. Plus all that clock crap, I thought I removed that all using Add/Remove from the Control Panel. Is it safe to say that anything with associated with a clock that I know I am not running on my machine, like Banshee, I can click to remove? Also, what are the steps necessary to make sure it doesn't come back to haunt me. Just an added, Windows Defender did see the Trojan, and "removed" it, but on boot up, it came right back on full force.

Thanks,

Jim

One other thing (well, I am sure there will be more), I have a Western Digital "My Book" attached, F:\, and when I noticed this problem. I disconnected it. Do I have to worry about it. It is for backup stoage type stuff, and I do not run anything from it. I am hoping its not a concern, because the virus(es) are mainl concerned with c:\. I did not run any backup batch files, just disconnected it during reboot.

Thanks,

Jim

Post new HJT log.

Crunchie,

The Anti-Malware keeps hanging, it looks like it found two things but I don't know what they are. The file hasn't been written yet. I will turn off the screensaver, reboot, and try again.

it hangs on c:\windows\inf\inetres.adm
I can end the process, but it takes a while to actually stop.
I scanned the file itself with both Norton and Anti-Malware and it came up clean both times.
Just before I leave I will run the Anti-Malware again, and let it go overnite, I am pretty sure nothing will run over not on Wednesday.

Thanks,
Jim

Give it a try in safe mode

Ahh, Safe Mode, haven't had to do that in a while.

So, how shall I proceed? Thanks so much for your help with this.

Jim L

Can you please do the following.

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

Can you disable Windows Defender as it may interfere with the removal process. Please leave it disabled until your PC has been given the all clear.

• Open Windows Defender
• Click Tools
• Click General Settings
• Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
• Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection (recommended)
• After you uncheck this, click on the Save button
• Close Windows Defender

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

Let's look for, and delete, any program segments (prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from your PC. To do this, let's:

1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

svñhost.exe*

2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

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

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\svñhost.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

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

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


F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\svñhost.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:

files...

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\svñhost.exe

-

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.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

crunchie,

Ok. Things are definitely looking better. I haven't seen Symantic popups saying it blocked a Trojan Horse.
Here is the hijackthis.log:

Every thing looks good, but I am not too thrilled with:
O1 - Hosts: ::1 localhost
O1 - Hosts: 94.232.248.66 antivir-service.microsoft.com

Isn't that part of a virus scam as well?

Also Install247 is Spyware too, I think. I should remove that.

Another thing, not really virus related are the clocks I was mentioning. I removed the programs from my computer, but there are still callouts to them: BestAlarmClock and Banshee Screamer. Clicking on them to remove them is an ok thing (in green, above)?

Thanks so much,

Jim
