Paste your log file in this site.

It will tell you what is good/bad.

http://hijackthis.de/

After doing this, you will see that you have a couple of bad things on your system.

kcto88,

I notice that you are running a very old version of HijackThis. You should get the latest version (1.99.1) and post the log that that version generates. The newer version probes more areas of your system than previous versions.


Also:

C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin To\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hjt[1].zip\HijackThis.exe

The log entry above indicates that you are running HJT from within a Temp/Temporary folder. Please do the following:

Create a folder outside of any Temp/Temporary folders for HJT and move it there now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if HijackThis (and other data that you care about) is living in those Temp folders, it will be erased along with everything else!
Temp/Temporary folders are just that- Temporary. They are not meant for permanent storage, as their contents are often delete in the course of troubleshooting, by running disk clean-up utilities, etc.

Got the new verison, here it is..

Thank you

I want to preface this with warning, as you can damage your computer with this program.

You MUST run this program from a non-temporary directory... extracting to desktop would be an example place to run this.

HijackThis (HJT) http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10379544.html?tag=lst-0-1


When posting a HJT log, be sure to describe what we should be looking for (ie, such as popups) or something. Provide as much detail as possible. More detail, the better. Post your issue as a separate thread. I preferably like to post in this protocol for the title:
" HJT Log - many popups - username "
That way, its easy to see what its about, and whos HJT log it is.

kcto88,

Your HJT log indicates at least two or three separate infections, an "about:blank" variant definitely being one of those.


A. First of all, the header information in your HJT log shows that your versions of Windows XP and Internet Explorer are very out of date:

Platform: Windows XP (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 (6.00.2600.0000)

Please use Windows' Automatic Update feature to bring your system up to date; many of the updates you're missing address/fix security loopholes through which malware can infect your computer. I definitely wouldn't suggest going all the way to Service Pack 2 until we're sure that you're infection-free, but you need to at least upgrade to Service Pack 1 with all of its most current critical updates.

Once you've done that, the upgrades/updates should be reflected in your HJT log's header info as follows:

Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)


B. Once you've done the above, let's do a full spyware/virus cleaning drill:

You will need to disconnect from the Internet for some of the following, so you'll need to print out the following instructions, or save them into a text file with Notepad.


1. Download and run these specific about:blank/Home Search/etc. removal tools (before scanning/fixing with about:buster and CWShredder, use their online update features to make sure you have the most current updates installed):

CWShredder - http://www.intermute.com/spysubtrac...r_download.html
about:Buster - http://www.majorgeeks.com/AboutBuster_d4289.html
HSRemove - http://www.majorgeeks.com/HSRemove_d4286.html
Sp.html-Se.dll Hijack Fix - http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sp.html-S...00XP_d4617.html

2. Run at least two or three of the following online anti-virus/anti-spyware scans and let them fix what they can:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp?cid=9914
http://www.pandasoftware.com/active...n_principal.htm
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php


3. Download, install, and run the following detection and removal tools (use each program's online update function before running them to make sure you have the most current updates installed).

After each utility completes its fixes, reboot before continuing on to the next utility; have the utilities fix all of the problematic/malicious items they find:


Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
Ad Aware SE Personal - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/
* Also update ewido and run a scan/fix with that program as well.

4. Reboot into safe mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up)

- Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders (but not the folders themselves):

Important: One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if any data that you care about is living in those Temp folders, you need to move it to a safe location now, or it will be erased along with everything else!

1. Cookies
2. Local Settings\Temp
3. Local Settings\History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Prefetch folder.

Note- If you get any messages concerning the deletion of system files such as desktop.ini or index.dat, just choose to delete those files; they'll be automatically regenerated by Windows if needed. Windows will allow you to delete the versions of those files which exist in sub-folders within the main Temp/Temorary folders, but might not let you delete the versions of those files that exist in the main Temp folders themselves; this is normal and OK.

- Empty your Recycle Bin.

- Reboot normally.


C. Once you've done the above, post your new HJT log.

Did some of it, heres the new one. Can you just tell me the instructions to deleting this virus/trojan?

Thanks,

Can you just tell me the instructions to deleting this virus/trojan?

You have more than one infection, and they cannot be fully removed in just a few simple steps. If you had followed all of the instructions I gave in my last post, that should have taken care of most, if not all, of the problems.

Your latest log remains unchanged from the last log you posted, with the exception of the indication that you did visit the bitdefender site. If you had run MS Antispyware and SpyBot, your latest log would reflect that.

Please review my last post and follow all of the steps I gave fully and completely. Post a new HJT log after that.
