Your system has at least the lop infection.

Very Important: Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread HERE and decide what it is you want to do.

If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.

Please Download NoLop to your desktop from one of the links below...
http://www.spywareedge.net/nolop/NoLop.exe
http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/forum/...pmod;dl=item16

First close any other programs you have running as this will require a reboot
Double click NoLop.exe to run it
Now click the button labelled "Search and Destroy"
<<your computer will now be scanned for infected files>>
When scanning is finished you will be prompted to reboot only if infected, Click OK
Now click the "REBOOT" Button.
A Message should popup from NoLop.
If not, double click the program again and it will finish.

--If you receive an error, "mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependencies are not correctly registered," please download mscomctl.ocx to your system32 folder then rerun the program.-- http://www.boletrice.com/downloads/mscomctl.ocx

Then, go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above. Also, post the C:\NoLop.log.

Also, let me know the results of the AVG Antirootkit scan.

Regards Howard :)

Attaced files as requested

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.

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how HERE.

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE.

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).

proxy show.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).

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [BoreWaitGridData] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BarbHoleBoreWait\proxy show.exe

O16 - DPF: {A57B79D8-9501-42B7-BA9B-B961454712F2} (WLANinfo.WLANX) - https://www.jiwire.com/activeX/wlaninfo.cab

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

Locate and delete the following bold files and/or directories(if there).

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BarbHoleBoreWait<Delete the entire folder.

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Post a fresh HJT log and let me know if you`re still having problems.

:hotbounce

Howard you are FANTASTIC :giddy: I think they have gone at last!!

Can I take off the programmes I had to download eg cc cleaner, nolop and combifix etc now, and is it best to keep the AVG one?

Regards Linda

As tomrca quite rightly said, your HJT log is clean.

Install antivius and firewall software, then go and read this thread HERE, it`ll show you how to keep your system more secure.

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

:D I used to have zone alarm, but uninstalled it to use windows defender, instead when I got new laptop,so is zone alarm better than windows defender? I also had a trial av, but it ended and I uninstalled it and put on AVG, does it not show up in my hijack log, I do have it, are you saying I need another one as well?
Regards Linda

:bounce: ps no more pop ups :bounce:
 
wd is ok for some things, but it's not a firewall. yes, avg does show up in your log but it is the 'avgas' (antispyware). you need an antivirus programme. not to be confused with 'avgas'. that's why i gave you the link for the free one. if you are thinking of buying a full security suite , stay away from 'NORTON':eek:
 
hi lindylou2. look at this thread https://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-33288-Nice-Or-Nasty-Norton.html
there's even a special tool to get rid of it, because it leaves stuff on your pc after delete/uninstall
do you use any of the norton products on your pc. if not these are still on yours.
nothing to worry about though

O16 - DPF: {2BC66F54-93A8-11D3-BEB6-00105AA9B6AE} (Symantec AntiVirus scanner) - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/SharedContent/vc/bin/AvSniff.cab

OOOOOOOOOOh I get the gist now, I won't get Norton then. I found the AVG on my computer, I had downloaded it, but not installed it, I think I must have assumed the AVG sypware was the same, I now have 2 little AVG icons in my taskbar, one with an s in the middle and one without :blush:

Am currently running a scan, AND 'I DONT BELIEVE IT' (as Victor would say) :( it says I have an obfuskated virus!!!! 7 at the moment :confused:


Are you saying that, the links on your post above show that I have some Norton bits on my computer, if so how did they get there as I have never had Norton on this computer, had a trial version of mcaffe on the laptop when I got it but no norton?
 
well if you didn't put the norton/symantec on, take it off!! fix it with hjt
one thing that you should remember, is not to run more than one firewall and av programme

The above two entries are the result of running the Symantec online scanner and can safely be fixed with HJT.

thanks to you both for your help, I have downloaded the 2 links, however how do I get them to work :blush: ?

also I have 3 other questions if its not too much trouble:D

1 I uninstalled my trial version on mcafee (using add/remove programmes) and I did a serch and have found a load more files that say mcafee, if I just delete the folder will I have got all the bits off the comp?

2. I swapped my trusty webcam with my friend cos hers kept crashing her computer, (its a few years old, and slow), and put her webcam on mine, it worked but not well, (creative webcam) so I uninstalled it (or tried to) using add remove programmes but there are parts of the programme that won't uninstall the error says

Error Code: -5004 : 0x7e
Error Information:
>SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1966)
PAPP:Creative Live! Cam Manager
PVENDOR:Creative Technology Ltd (www.creative.com)
PGUID:15B3F9F8-4CF9-452A-9AF2-AA8553765DA7
$9.1.0.429

and I can't get rid of it. any suggestions?

and finally 3. Daughter uses windows live messenger, and I seem to get the vibes from threads that it can lead to lots of probs with virus's etc, what can I do to keep comp safe?

thanks Linda

Which two links are you referring to?

Yes.

As for your SetupDLL.cpp problem, try uninstalling the programme in safe mode.

Daughter uses windows live messenger, and I seem to get the vibes from threads that it can lead to lots of probs with virus's etc, what can I do to keep comp safe?

I don`t think Windows live messenger is any better or worse than any other messenger programme, but it is true that it can become a conduit for malware. It all depends on how sensibly it`s used. I use Yahoo messenger and have never had any malware problems whatsoever.

See this thread HERE for info on how to keep your system more secure.
