Trojan lop.as

Not open for further replies.
Hello Folks,
Last week my AVG antivirus was warning me that I had a Lop.as Trojan and I quarantined every time the massage came up. As a matter of fact the antivirus vault is full logs of the Lop.as Trojan. I spent hours doing research and trying all the suggestions I could find online and in this forum. Now in the last day and half my AVG antivirus is not showing the warning anymore. I am not 100% sure I was able to delete the Trojan. Could someone view my hijackthis log and tell me if my pc is clean? Also, I need to say that my antivirus is a free edition so I am not sure if I should purchase one. Could you suggest any antivirus that would really protect me? I had Norton once and I didn’t like because it was heavy and slowing down my pc dramatically. Thanks in advance.

Ok. I have followed the directions by the letter. Here are all the reports. Can you please let me know what is the situation. Thanks
 
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.

Click start/run and type services.msc into the run box and press the enter key.

When the window appears, maximise it. Double click on the following services(if there) and select stop if they are running. Set the startup type to disabled. Click apply/ok for each service you disable.

WindowZones Service (WZSvc)

Close the services window.

Open your task manager, by holding down the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the delete key.

Click on the processes tab and end process for(if there).

WindowZones.sys
WindowZones.exe

Close task manager.

Run HJT with no other programmes open(except notepad). Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

Thanks Howard for replying so quickly. Here is the new log. Hopefully now things will look better. If the pc is clean could you please let me know which antivirus/adware/spyware company I can rely on for good protection? At this point I don’t mind having to pay. As of now I am using AVG free edition and Windows firewall. I deleted WindowsZones. Should I reinstall it or not? Thanks spensierato
 
Turn off the AVG Antispyware guard.

Run AVG Antispyware and click on the resident shield, change it to inactive and close AVG Antispyware.

Run HJT with no other programmes open(except notepad). Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT and reboot your computer. If the above entries are gone, your HJT log is clean, if not post a fresh HJT log.

I don`t think you should reinstall WindowsZones as I don`t know a great deal about the programme and therefore it might be suspect.

The AVG free antivirus programme is fine. I don`t recommend you use the Windows firewall as it`s complete crap. The free Zonealarm or Kerio firewall programmes would be a much safer bet.

Avg Antispyware is very good as are SS&D and Ad-aware se personal. I`d also recommend the use of Spyware Blaster.

Your HJT log is clean.

Now would be a good time to clear out your old restore points and anything nasty that`s in them.

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how HERE.

Now, turn system restore back on. This will create a brand new, clean restore point.

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

Hi Howard and Spensierato,

My name is Allen and I work for the company that developed WindowZones. I'm certainly biased, but I believe WindowZones is a great product for managing administrative rights on Internet-facing applications.

Spensierato, if you found the product useful I encourage you to reinstall it.

Howard, I don't want to use this space to make a pitch, but if you have a few minutes I encourage you to check out our website at http://www.bytecrusher.com and learn a bit about WindowZones before recommending people not use it. We really believe it's an innovative application that provides unique protection to Windows users. Anyone who logs into Windows with an administrative account can benefit from using WindowZones.

I'm happy to discuss the product if someone starts a thread on it. Out of respect to the board, I'm not going to start my own thread on my own product.

cheers.

-Allen
