HJT log - help for a very annoying virus.

Status
Not open for further replies.
I know you've probably heard this all before but I have that unbelievably annoying msn virus. I'm not sure what it's specific name is.

All I know is that I got a message saying "omg is this you" followed by what looked like a photobucket link.

As soon as I was stupid enough to click, it infected my comp and send a billion other messages similar to it to all the contacts who were online on my list.

Everytime msn opens up, desktop icons like "wen" and "one" and "gol" etc keep popping up.

Not only that, but it's open my comp up to a bunch of other infections =/

Can someone help me please? I've posted on a few other boards for help, but it seems like my post keeps being looked over -.-

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html

hey, i'm having an issue now after downloading the zonealarm thing mentioned above.
When i went to reboot, my screen just went black after the Windows XP splash screen.
Now it constantly goes to that black screen.
Safe mode works though.

P.S I'm using laptop right now.
 
Uninstall Zonealarm it can cause problems on some systems.

Follow the instructions I have given you and post back with a fresh HJT log.

oh, and it also seems like the msn problem is now gone.

I'm not 100% sure though.

Just the other times I tried the moment it signed on it spread the virus message. And a bunch of processes popped up in taskmanager and icons popped up on the desktop.

That stopped.

Just checking though to be safe, is there more I should do?
 
Your HJT log is now clean.

Try the free Kerio firewall programme.

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.
