Make an uninstall list using HijackThis To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:
Please post this log on your next reply. Disable Spybot's TeaTimer. This is a two step process. Spybot S&D's tea timer normally provides real-time protection from spyware, however it may interfere with what we need to do. We will disable it until the machine is clean when it can be re-enabled. First step:
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and save to your desktop.

| IMPORTANT One or more of the identified infections that you have is a backdoor trojan. This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation. Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of its backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be to reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information: How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud? When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall We can attempt to clean this machine but I can't guarantee that it will be secure afterwards. The system will be extremely unlikely to be returned to its pre-infection state. Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Let me know what you decide to do.

| I'll just do a reformat and reinstall. Once I do that how do I keep this from happening again? What kind of security program do you recommend? Also, can this be transfered from one computer to another using a flash drive? I have saved all my mom-in-laws pics off this computer on to a flash drive, will it create a problem for another computer if I use the flash drive on one? Thanks for the help! STUPIDGIRL BTW, sorry it took so long to reply but my DSL went down. |

| Will first you need an updated and running Antivirus. You don’t appear to have one on the infected machine. I will list a couple of good free ones. Anti-virus software is a program that detects; cleans and erases harmful virus files on a Computer; Web server or Network. Unchecked, virus files can unintentionally be forwarded to others and thereby spread infection. Because new viruses regularly emerge, anti-virus software should be updated frequently. Anti-virus software scans the computer memory and disk drives for malicious code. They alert the user if a virus is present and will clean; delete (or quarantine) infected files or directories. If you have none installed Please download a free anti-virus software from one these excellent vendors NOW: 1) Antivir PersonalEdition Classic- Free anti-virus software for Windows. Detects and removes more than 50,000 viruses. Free support. Please note the following if you decide on Antivir Personal Edition Quote:
It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer then only one of them should be active in memory at a time. You did have a third party firewall which is always recommended. P2P PROGRAMS IMPORTANT I notice there were signs of one or more P2P (Person to Person) File Sharing Programs on your computer. Frostwire References for the risk of these programs can be found in these links: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...rotection.mspx http://www.techweb.com/wire/160500554 http://www.internetworldstats.com/articles/art053.htm Note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares. Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security. Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system. If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out. You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc. Secunia Software Inspector F-secure Health Check Install WinPatrol Download it from here Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here Install MVPS Hosts File from here The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer. Find Tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm Read some information here how to prevent Malware.
