hi,

about a month ago my computer was infected with a spyaxe virus (with the little virus alert icon in the notification area). i thought it was fixed but recently i tried to open some of my microsoft word documents and none of them will open!! same goes for my excel documents. a window will pop up saying that the document is not available. :sad:when i close microsoft word it tries to make changes to the template "normal", which i always cancel or say no to. using yet another virus scan program (AVG Anti-virus) i fount a trojan virus named tracert.exe in my documents folder within a folder named microsoft but it cant delete it.
i think this infection happened when i was infected with the other virus because i dont think i've downloaded anything suspicious since then but i'm not sure since i have not used microsoft word or excel since then. can someone please help me!

Not seeing much in your log, though that doesn't mean its not here. Lets see if ewido picks it up.


Please download ewido anti-malware it is a free version of the program.

  1. Install ewido anti-malware
  2. When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
    • Install background guard
    • Install scan via context menu
  3. Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
  4. The program will now open to the main screen.
  5. When you run ewido for the first time, you may get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
  6. You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
    • On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
    • Then click on Start Update.
  7. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
    (the status bar at the bottom will display ("Update successful" )

If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update ewido.
ewido manual updates

Once the updates are installed do the following:

  • Open up Ewido
  • Click on scanner
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • You will be prompted to clean the first infection.
  • Select "Perform action on all infections", then proceed.
  • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
  • Click Save report.
  • Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.
  • Close ewido anti-malware.

Reboot.

Post back with the ewido log, and a new HJT log

I was running ewido while writing the first post. Here's what it found. These same cookies (all 48 of them!) were there when i ran the scan a few days ago....does that indicate anything??
