New poster, hope you can help. Thanks Crunchie for previous advice.
Have had problems the first time for a year or so. Friends have had lots of probs and I've always managed to sort them, but this is beyond me.
I run Windows xp,sp2,have Panda Titanium virus killer up to date,firewall on and regularly run xoftspy and ad-aware.
However, 6 days ago whilst Panda was awaiting renewal,(been away on hols) I got the 'Alcan.A worm on my machine, managed to remove it and also renewed Panda.
But since then I've been plagued by spyware and virus's, slow machine, keyboard stopping working after 15-20 mins, mouse not highlighting and opening desktop icons, I've had to right click and 'open'. I tried to start in safe mode by pressing f8 as always,no joy, tried to do a non destructive restore as well as a system restore, but was unable too.
Here is my Hijack log:

Hi santfekuss,

1. There's nothing suspicious in your HJT log. That being the case, can you give specific information about the symptoms you're seeing, error message you may be getting, etc.?

2. Please download and install the free trial version of ewido Security Suite.

* Run the program (the first time you do, you will receive a warning message saying "Database not found". Just click "OK"; this is normal.

* In the main screen, click "Update" and click "Start Update". This will install the detection database that the error message above refers to.

* Once the update is complete, run a full system scan. Post the resulting scan report after that; the report may tell us some things that HijackThis can't.

Thanksfor your reply, have had a bit of luck since last post.
Managed to start it in safe mode and deleted a couple of virus's/spyware, just ran eiwido for the 2nd time and it cleaned 2 files, here is the report:

I have'nt restarted the PC since then, so whether these will re-install them selves I don't know. The only trouble I seem to be having now is the amount of spyware I seem to be getting, and slow start and shutdowns of programs.

I'm guessing they've altered my registry and are creating these on each startup

I have'nt restarted the PC since then, so whether these will re-install them selves I don't know... I'm guessing they've altered my registry and are creating these on each startup

Yes- it's possible that some of the nasties might "respawn", and it's also possible that there are still registry changes which would contribute to that.

To best eliminate the chance of the infections returning, you might want to run a few more utilities such as Microsoft's Antispyware beta and CCleaner, and also do a few other online scans as well.

Our member dlh6213 has posted a lot of good information on general cleaning procedures in his thread here.

Ran CCleaner, I cannot believe the amount of stuff that it deleted.

Big thanks for your help, PC seems to be running fine (typing this from my Apple iBook)..............now just to sort out a friends PC, Windows ME will not even start ,looking for boot disk

BIG thanks again.

Glad we could help, and I'm glad the 'puter seems better now :)

Hopefully, the problems won't return, but if they do- just let us know.


In terms of your friend's ME system; good luck with that.
Although- ME being the clunky beast that is was to begin with, combined with the fact that ME is an "end of life" operating system, you might want to try installing your friend's hard drive as a slave/secondary drive in another (and healthy, obviously) computer just to rescue any data that he/she might want to save. Once done, wipe (totally reformat) the original drive after that and install a more current version of Windows.

Thanks DMR, regarding my friends hard drive, I'm thinking its dead. I done what you said, disconnected my slave drive, connected his as the slave and my PC will not even boot-up, its as if his is wanting to be the master. I have jumper pins in correctly but am mystified. He did used to get lots of pop-ups and stuff so maybe he got a really bad virus.
He really wants the pics of his kids taken off there as well.

Any ideas ?

Managed to start my PC with the drive attached,but its not seeing the drive at all.
Have popped it in the freezer for awhile, see if it has any effect.

PS........... sorry its in the wrong forum, just realised and did'nt want to double post.
Could we move it ?

No problem. You've already started a thread for the new problem in the right forum, so all is cool.
