holy god...Did I hear someone say new "Read Me" Thread?

Sorry Geezer. I deleted the log. What you posted is actually the script from the program :D.
Did the file download as a vbs file? Delete the one you downloaded already, then go to the site and right click on the link and select *Save As* and save it to your desktop.
Run it from there by double (or single) clicking on it. When it has finished a log will be produced (a lot shorter than that one). Please post it here.

Ay up, Crunchie!

Back again, sorry I didn't reply sooner but it's been a bit of a mad weekend. Lots of kids and helping a friend move house...

Anyway I sussed the silent runners thing and heeeeeeer's the log :confused:

One other thing... Ifound my four year old sprog and his six year old cousin messing with the computer on satuday evening :( I don't know what they did but 7 firefox windows were open, CCleaner was open, Zone alarm had 2 windows open, a cd rom game was on demo mode, and a window I'd never seen before about UPLOADING TO WEB!

Nothing seems to have changed apart from my cute opening wav didn't play on starting windows. Hopefully this is due to CCleaner and maybe they actually helped out a bit... Hmmmm. Another lesson learned there.

PS Steosaur, what's a read me thread and does it have ecumenical significance? ;)

Slan abhaile!

Steosaur was commenting on the length of your previous silent runners log :D.
There is nothing bad to report in your newest log Geezer.
I had a hectic one too!. My youngest daughter turned 14 on Saturday, my eldest daughter turned 16 today, my son turns 26 tomorrow, and my sister's birthday is also tomorrow :D.
Yuuummmmm....CAKE.

Nice one crunchie!

Does this mean I'm clean now? I can hardly believe it , it seems like a LONG time since all this started...

Thanks for all the patience and help and happy birthday to all you family. Enjoy the cake! :D

Slan abhaile agus go raibh mile maith agat!! :cheesy:

Looks all clear to me :). Thank you :D.

You could try disabling startup items that are not essential and those which are infected with viruses. Then you can restart and scan ur pc again. Now you'll be able to remove it!

Uh oh...

I was checking system 32 for suspicious dlls by arranging them bt date modified and came up with vsconfig.xml...

I googled it and symantec seem to think its to do with backdoorIRC aladinz.

Itried deleting it but can't access as something's using it. Deleted it in safe mode but it was back agin on reboot.

I tried symantecs removal instructions in normal and safe modes. Also I can't back up the registry either ( Iget an error message )

Sorry about this now but I need to know if there's still a problem or if vsconfig.xml should be doing what its doing... Even though symantec know about the trojan nothing showed up on the scan ( in either mode) but vsconfig.xml is still there...

Sorry again. I'm REALLY NOT an attention-seeking, bunny-boiling, psychotic IT forum addict...

Gabh mo leithsceal agus slan! :o

That file belongs to Zone Alarm :D.

I think it time to stop worring about what not on you computer and try using and enjoying you machine !LOL

:o Ah... Ahem!... Er sorry about that... my computer is my friend,my computer is my friend,my computer is my friend,my computer is my friend,my computer is my friend,my computer is my friend, (repeat until funny) :lol:

Ok got a little paranoid there, lads! Time to hide HJT and all that from my desktop and get on with life. :)

Adh mor ort agus slan abhaile!!

heey
A bit late, but download stinger, (http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stinger.exe)
Ad-aware, cws shredder, spybot search & destroy, and even a free anti- virusprogram like Grisoft AVG "or" antivir
Install all and update defenitions.
Then reboot in safe mode (press f8 during boot) and do all scans.
The msmsgs.exe is in your case a virus! It's in the wrong folder. search google for it.
Restart again and grant no program access except firefox, zonealarm itself and the svchost file. (needed for win xp to go on internet). Then run the scans again.
For the rest of your computer usage, make a user with limited access. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;279783&sd=tech
Much safer to work in.
good luck.
