I have just noticed on Norton Security Suite about an error message re hacktool.hidewindow

I have attached an error log from Norton as well.

First thing....do you still have Spywaredoctor on your machine? Because I could not see an entry for it.. and am wondering if Symantec is not picking up a siganture in the sdhelp.exe file....
Moving on.. i walked my eyes over the HT log and could not see any supicious entries. But since Symantec detected Hacktool.HideWindow, Google that name and go to the symantec site, click on removal, and follow the instructions there.
Do you find your system is a bit slow with both symantec and norton AV running?
The [mouse?] cursor moving... if it is just jittering, u could have an optical mouse? and they occasionally do that. If it's moving in a definite, controlled sort of way, then.... erk! [Remote assistance .. i assume uv turned this off if u never use it?] I doubt if any hacker would bother moving the cursor! A dead give-away!

one other thing, do you still have spyware doctor on your machine?

Gerbil,

Mouse was moving all over the screen - unbeliebvable I know!.. I have run hijack this again after running removal procedure for Hacktool.HideWindow and attached log below.

Gerbil,

Sorry but I forgot to put these on the reply. When I was watching the hacker on the screen he was on cmd prompt and these are the commands he had typed in

http://video-shani.webcindario.com/msconfig2.exe
%systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe
iexplore http://www.ashkelonim.co.il/chat/update.exe
http://www.anti-security.info/rvnc.exe

Is this any help. Yes I have spyware doctor on the pc.

Thanks

Mark

Mark.. did you get this sorted out? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the HT log as far as i can tell, so you have met a very good hacker. Norton detected him, deleted some of his stuff but he already laid down some other undetectable files obviously. you are lucky in that the things he did while you were watching are fairly benign...
eg... the iexplore http://ashkel..... i could not load from opera [obviously not compatible..], and IE is too full of holes for me to wish to try with it...
He opened a cmd window and did nothing with it?
The first URL is a spanish blog site, and harmless...
Frankly, half the world's hackers are from Spain or Russia.... I think you met one who is just showing off. However.... he got in, he stayed in even after Norton found him... smells of a rootkit to hide his gear. For the fun of it, go get RKR, a free scanner, from here [the author's site]:-
www.sysinternals.com [browse the site, they have some good free stuff, and they do work contracts for M$, so they aren't tired hacks exactly..].
It's only a REVEALER - it's up to you to google what it reports and then find fixes, or post a log here and we'll see what we can sort out.... No, please post it here... i wanna see what got into your puter.
Also go get this one, blacklite blbeta - it's free until january [ they keep extending the shutoff date..:)], and run put a shortcut on your desktop...
http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/

Please let me know how you get on....

Please scan using the following website: http://www.pcflank.com/test.htm
After scan, it will let you know to some extent what area of your computer you need to check. Have a good day.

DID YOU LOOK AT THE LOG!!!!

O23 - Service: VNC Server Version 4 (WinVNC4) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\WinVNC4.exe" -service (file missing)

VNC is remote control software. Its likely this is whats being used to make the cursor move without you touching it (someone can just connect to your PC via VNC)

Remove VNC through add/remove programs pleqase

My pc is acting very strange sometimes and I think I have a virus or something as once when i came back to my pc the cursor was moving by itself. I have attached a log of hijack this - please please please can someone help me.

Thanks

THis Log you submitted is identical to the log of a botnet an long time botherder, spammer, malware identity thief perp has been installing on people's machines. Your computer is no longer a stand alone computer, but a workstation. You are in a botnet, also called zombie net.

The Operating System: 5.1:2600 is the version of Microsoft's Network. That is what is running your system, not your operating system. WHen you get on the web, you are being channeled through his server. The process lsasse.exe is a virus, known by several names, one of them "Futro" -- an identity theft virus. He incorporates MSN messenger chat, most likely for a logging feature. In this system are programs that capture bank account, credit card, Social and other identity numbers, plus to feed back passwords to every program you use. ALSO a keylogger is usually installed which captures every stroke you type.

Some who have been in his botnet have found their machines being accessed in the middle of the night -- most likely to send out spam and hard core porn which is on this site, hacking into other people"s computers.

The IP address he uses 127.0.0.1 is one reserved for a loopback within one's own machine. However....a rogue IP going under the name "secure13.apollohosting.com -- and "bitlogic". The person who set up that rogue server has now 440 sub hosts under it. It is in Chicago, Illinois and if you run that name, "bitlogic" or "secure13.apollohosting.com" you will find the name and address of the company's officer; one Arius Kaufman residing in MacClean, VA.

The botherder suspect goes by the name Barney Keith. He resides in Williamsburg, VA and is probably packing to leave the country since numerous complaints have been filed against him with the IC3 (FBI) for his botnet. He has made statements that he is heading to the UK, Stockholm. But for sure, he's packing up to leave Virginia.

The reason I know this is that I, too, am one of his victims. But I found and read the program, plus the DNS-1 log that shows the installation of his network, line by line -- with the instructions to override my operating system. Your config.sys and autoexec.bat files should = "0". The file running your computer, instead, is "config.NT" NT, of course, stands for network. And have talked with other victims.

It is imperative that you file a complaint with the IC3 at IC3.org. This is the joint commission of the FBI and White Collar Crime Center which screens the complaints and then forwards to the appropriate authorities, state/local, FBI or Interpol.

This man has worked a social networking site of Various, Inc., with full access to all its 20 million claimed members' files -- credit card numbers, names, personal profiles, email addresses -- for five (5) years. So this botnet is spread, literally, all over the world

If the FBI doesn't pick him up before he gets on a plane [and he IS packing now], then Interpol or another country will.

But prudence mandates you file a complaint with the IC3, then take the steps with credit bureau, bank accounts, credit cards that you need to to keep not just your identity, but your assets safe.

Barney Keith uses the handle in the AdultFriendfinder site of "2Jessie". That stands in brief for his full handle, "2JessieJames" -- his email address on gmail. The Second Jessie James, bank robber.

Good luck to you and I hope you follow up taking the steps you need to. The only way to clean since you don't have his password is to image your drive [save the evidence] -- then have a tech do a destructive wipe and reformat. Probably with a magnet.

Please let me know how you get on....

You gave good advice. However, the essential parts of this program cannot be cleaned nor deleted.

The owner no longer has administrator privileges, so the malware remains. The process are hardwritten in. It is written so that one cannot download or update from many of the spyare sites, either.

Her only solution is a hard wipe of her drive.

Yes, wipe the drive + reinstall

btw

NT, of course, stands for network

is wrong. NT = New Technology e.g Windows NT as opposed to windows "old technology" (DOS)

Ah, jb, i was a babe in the woods back then, still am, check my signature... I would now min suggest a panda scan which would have thrown it up, or Kaspersky... but was put off by the hijackthis report showing file missing....
One day, when I know it all, everything there is to know, I'll light a lil candle and have a quiet celebration...
