Solved: Trojan or Virus Norton cannot detect. HELP!!

Last night my computer started behaving very oddly. Little symantech windows started opening in my desktop every 1-2 minutes. The title of the window reads "Symantec Email Proxy" and the message translates (my computer is configured in Spanish) to something like this: " Unable to send email message, server did not accept. Delivery Error #..." an email address shows up and a short message such as "Hey" or "Hi", and an "Accept" button. Like I said, this thing happens every 1-2 minutes in which 20 or more of those windows open up. I´ve updated and run Norton antivirus (2003) a few times, House Call online virus scan, Ad-Aware, and Spybot, and none of them solved the problem (although they did get rid of a lot of Spyware. I decided to run "Hijack this" and send you guys the log, see what you think (thanx in advance):

I forgot to add that if I restart the computer and disconect the internet a message appears warning me that the computer will turn off in 60 seconds

 

PepsXp

I'm afraid I don't know enough to check your HJT log properly.

However, the behaviour you describe sounds similar to how the NetskyV worm operates. Definitions for it were released earlier today but dated 15th April. Have you used Intelligent Updater since last night?

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]

 

Thanx TOGG,
I try your advice and keep you informed

 

pepsXp, You need to move hijackthis.exe into a folder on your hard drive and not run it from Temporary Internet files location.

 

Run HJT again and check:

Close all applications and browser windows before you click "fix checked".

 

Ok, sorry I took so long to answer back. I'll try your advice too, cybertech, I'll write back as soon as I have some results. THNX

 

OK, so I did what you guys advised (thanx TOGG and Cybertech) but if I have the NetskyV virus, Norton still does not recognize it. As for the Hijack this, every time I restart the computer, the lines you asked me to check, cybertech, appear again after I fixed them. Of Course, the computer keeps trying to mass send emails, and Norton keeps trying to block the emails, slowing the computer, and opening a bizillion warning windows every minute or so. I'm just frazzled. I'm open to suggestions. Thanx anyways TOGG and Cybertech, I appreciate it.

 

if it's of any help, I just ran Hijack this again:

Run HJT again and put a check:

Close all browser windows and applications before clicking "fix checked".

Reboot in safe mode, click here to see how,

Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Locate and delete: C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe --> file

Reboot and let us know how it's going...

 

OK, so here is the deal, I've run your advice twice, but after reeboting into normal mode again, I find that C\WINDOWS\svchost.exe is back again. Not only that, but I find that I have 3 more svchosts, two svchost.exe in C\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe, another one in C\WINDOWS\system32dllcache and a ".pf" file, C\WINDOWS\Prefetch\svchost.exe-3530F672.pf,
any advice on that?

 

C\WINDOWS\system32 is the correct location for the file.........and there will be multiple instances of it running,that is normal.

Go to Start > run, enter cmd

At the prompt enter:

del C\WINDOWS\svchost.exe
Press enter.
Browse to:C\WINDOWS\Prefetch and delete everything in there.......Use safe mode if needed.
Let us know if all goes well.

 

I've deleted C\WINDOWS\Prefetch 5 times now, and every time I reboot the computer, the file shows up again, and of course the computer continues to open a bizillion windows.

 

Post your log again.
