    That's definitly the problem then -> what firewall or other security software do you have installed.

    Also - I am going to message somebody else who is better at this now that we have identified the problem

    Okay thanks for helping. I am using Zonealarm firewall.I have avg antivirus free,SUPERantispyware, and spyware doctor
     
  7. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    one thing we may try is right click on the zone alarm icon in system tray -> restore zone alarm -> find the program in the list and make sure there is green checks next to it
  8. TheNoob101 Newcomer, in training Posts: 50

    Yep there are.
  9. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    Lets look at a few things - I just had an idea

    Highjackthis Instructions
    • Make sure you have the LATEST version of HJT (currently v2.0.0.2) it can be downloaded from HERE
    • Run the HijackThis Installer and it will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe. Please don't change the directory.
    • After installing, the program launches automatically, select Scan now and save a log
    • After the scan is complete please attach your log onto the forums using the paper clip icon above your reply.
  10. TheNoob101 Newcomer, in training Posts: 50

    Here is the log.
  11. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    I'll start putting some instructions together - this is my specialty - you have some malware on there. Don't know if it will completely solve the problem, but at least I can get you clean
  12. TheNoob101 Newcomer, in training Posts: 50

    Okay,thanks ill wait for it to come.

    I just got a popup from AVG.
    It says:Multiple Threat Detection
    Infections list:
    C:\system volume
    information\_restore{A7E71E0D-2C8D-4DCA-B14A-C0B065D1E3D5}\RP583\A0237872.dll
    Threat name: adware generic2.ACBR
    detected to open

    File name:C:\System Volume Information\_restore{A7E71E0D-2C8D-4DCA-B14A-C0B065D1E3D5}\RP583\A0237873

    [ ] Remove threat as Power User

    [Remove Threats] [Ignore] [Help]

    I don't know if I should remove because of Volume.
    What should i do?
    Details shows this is malwarebytes. Says there is Trojan on it
  15. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    yea, a lot of the tools we use can get detected as threats because they access the same files as the malicious programs. Not a big deal - ignore malwarebytes being detected - but let it remove the volume information one - that is your old restore point which we will clear in a little bit
  16. TheNoob101 Newcomer, in training Posts: 50

    Details said both were MalwareBytes.
  17. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    ok, then just ignore both - Avast just went through this same thing but I think they already corrected the error - AVG is just a step behind
  18. TheNoob101 Newcomer, in training Posts: 50

    Okay scan finished,here are the logs.
    For the Java uninstalling There is Java 6 update 2
    and a Java 6 update 7
  19. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    ok, good work - uninstall java 6 update 2

    Disable AVG realtime protection by right clicking it in the system tray and disabling

    Combofix
    • Download Combofix to your desktop.
    • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    • A window will open with a warning.
    • When the scan completes it will open a text window. Please attach that log back here together with a fresh HJT log.
    Caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop. Combofix is a very powerful tool so please do NOT do anything without instruction

    Combofix will automatically save the log file to C:\combofix.txt
  20. TheNoob101 Newcomer, in training Posts: 50

    There is no option for disabling the real time protection.
