Get HiJackThis and post a log for review. Follow these steps.

First, create a folder in C:\Program Files and label it HiJackThis. This is where you will download the executable file. This is also the folder where your HJT backups will be stored. Click Here to download the file.

Close all windows, including this and any other browser windows. Launch HJT and click the Scan button. When the scan is finished, the Scan button will have changed to Save Log. Click that and save the log to your HJT folder. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING YET. Most of the listed items are harmless or even essential. Wait for recommendations from someone trained in HJT log file interpretation.

Now open the saved log file... In the toolbar at the top of the window under Edit, select Select All. Copy (Ctrl+C) the text and paste (Ctrl+V) it into a reply in this thread.

There are a couple of baddies you can Have HJT fix. Follow these steps:

Run a new HJT scan and put a check beside the following objects in the list.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RVP] "C:\Program Files\RVP\bpc.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [stcloader] C:\WINDOWS\System32\stcloader.exe

Close all application windows except HJT. Close all browser windows, including this one. Click the Fix Checked button.

Restart your computer in Safe mode.

How to start your computer in Safe mode

Open Windows Explorer, then go to View > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure Show all files is ticked and uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types. Click Like Current Folder then click Apply then OK

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to and delete the following folder and/or files identified in bold type:

C:\Program Files\RVP\bpc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\stcloader.exe


Boot back to Normal Mode and post another HJT log.

These are of dubious benefit, you may want to remove them too:

Raybro, anything on this BHO?:

...Not listed on TK's site which makes me suspicious.

This is what mine came up with.

[raybro]

Hi buckaroo... I agree that BHO is suspicious, I didn't find anything on it either. My general approach on something like this is to leave it alone and wait to see if someone else comes up with an opinion (such as yourself) that seems valid.

Wouldn't hurt to go ahead and recommend he remove it, it can always be restored if it causes a problem. Odd-ball dll's always get my attention and I have yet to have a negative reaction from deleting them..

To that end... rristow, I suggest you run a new HJT scan and go through the same process previously described to Fix this object along with the others recommended by buckaroo.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {92D5F81F-9202-4934-A47F-706797C49E61} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\zdmksp.dll (file missing)

mackenzie... If you posted your HJT log with the goal of getting an analysis and recommendations, I suggest you start a new thread and post your log there. Posting more than one log in a thread tends to create confusion and you get attention to your specific problem. Just click the New Thread link (icon?) on the appropriate forum.

 

[buckaroo]

Hey raybro.....well, it doesn't look like anyone else is coming to our rescue on that BHO.

rristow, follow through with our recommendations. Just to reiterate, as mentioned by raybro, HJT does have a restore feature, so if that suspicious BHO is something needed, it came be restored via HJT. Also, post your follow up log.



mackenzie, you really don't want to piggy-back onto an existing thread as it can be confusing for all concerned. If you do have a problem you should always start your own thread. FWIW, I'm not seeing anything of note on your log.

 

[shelchas]

I have Second Thought and myPCsearch icons on my desktop, along w/ a myPCsearch.exe on my local disk (c drive). Below is a log of a HijackThis scan ... what should/can I do? Which files should I delete or what should I do?

Hi shelchas... Bad form to post your HJT log on someone elses thread. Causes confusion to have more than one HJT log in one thread. Additionally, you will be more likely to get the attention you deserve by initiating your own thread. Just click the New Thread button on the forum index.

I am sorry, I could not figure out how to create a new thread. I have both mypcsearh and secondthought on my c drive as well. If i do a system restoral, will this cure the problem?

jkell...to start your own thread, go to the beginning of this Forum (All Other Software, or the Security Forum) and at the the top left hand side is a button "Start New Thread". You'll then have your own thread.

You'll want to post your HJT log, so follow Raybros instructions below:

Get HiJackThis and post a log for review. Follow these steps.

First, create a folder in C:\Program Files and label it HiJackThis. This is where you will download the executable file. This is also the folder where your HJT backups will be stored. Click Here to download the file.

Close all windows, including this and any other browser windows. Launch HJT and click the Scan button. When the scan is finished, the Scan button will have changed to Save Log. Click that and save the log to your HJT folder. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING YET. Most of the listed items are harmless or even essential. Wait for recommendations from someone trained in HJT log file interpretation.

Now open the saved log file... In the toolbar at the top of the window under Edit, select Select All. Copy (Ctrl+C) the text and paste (Ctrl+V) it into a reply in this thread.
