IE slow with pop-ups - believe I have a virus!
Hi,
I downloaded a file and since opening it have had problems with IE. pop ups constantly appearing etc. I know - my bad.
I have Nortons 360 and have performed multiple scans but it is not detecting anything other than a cookie. Cookie is quarantined, but when I run another scan another cookie if found and so on and so forth. The virus is also preventing me from accessing the support option on Norton's
I have changed my Privacy tab on Internet Options to block all cookies and pop-up blocker was already turned on but still getting pop-ups.
On searching google for advice it recommended I run hijackthis and post log which I have attached.

I have an HP Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00 GHz runting Microsoft Windows XP Media Centre Edition Version 2002 SP3

Hope you can help as I'm not sure what else to do.
Many thanks,

Hello there Welcome to the TSG Forums.
My name is NeonFx. I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems. Logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me.


Please note the following:
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clean. Absence of symptoms does not necessarily mean that the system is completely clean.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference. I may ask you to boot into Safe Mode where you will be unable to follow my instructions online.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.




Step 1

Download OTS to your Desktop

  • Close ALL OTHER PROGRAMS.
  • Double-click on OTS.exe to start the program.
  • Check the box that says Scan All Users
  • Under Additional Scans check the following:
    • Reg - Desktop Components
    • Reg - Disabled MS Config Items
    • Reg - NetSvcs
    • Reg - Shell Spawning
    • Reg - Uninstall List
    • File - Lop Check
    • File - Purity Scan
    • Evnt - EvtViewer (last 10)

  • Please copy the following into the Custom Scans box at the bottom

Code:
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\eventlog.dll /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\scecli.dll /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\netlogon.dll /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\cngaudit.dll /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\sceclt.dll /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ntelogon.dll /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\logevent.dll /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\iaStor.sys /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\nvstor.sys /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\atapi.sys /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\si3112.sys /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\viadsk.sys /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\nvatabus.sys /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\IdeChnDr.sys /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\viasraid.sys  /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\AGP440.sys /s /md5
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\vaxscsi.sys /s /md5
  • Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
  • Let it run unhindered until it finishes.
  • When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
  • Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.

Please attach the log in your next post. To do so click on the blue "Reply" button or "Go Advanced" and click on the "Manage Attachments" button

To ensure that I get all the information this log will need to be attached. If it is too large to attach then upload it to Dropio and post the sharing link/url (The Drop's URL will be similar to : http:://drop.io/daerk)

Step 2

Download SysProt Antirootkit from the link below (you will find it at the bottom of the page under attachments, or you can get it from one of the mirrors).

http://sites.google.com/site/sysprotantirootkit/

Unzip it into a folder on your desktop.

Start the Sysprot.exe program.

  • Click on the Log tab.
  • In the Write to log box select All items.
  • Place a checkmark next to Hidden Objects Only
  • Click on the Create Log button on the bottom right.
  • After a few seconds a new Window should appear.
  • Make sure Scan all drives is selected and click on the Start button.
    (Unless you have a floppy drive. In this case, please use "Scan Root Drive Only" and press Start)
  • When it is complete a new Window will appear to indicate that the scan is finished.
  • The log will be created and saved automatically in the same folder. Open the text file and copy/paste the log here.
