[rogue12]

Hi, this is a hijackthis log from a freinds pc

Question is what can be removed (unnecessary stuff/entries) and if its clean of infections.

Oh and also he seems to have random popups of windows installer trying to install something and this happens to when he first logs on.

Thanks for any assistance.

What are the pop ups from (browser, security program, windows)?

You aren't running Firewall Software. Please download and install one of these first!

Use a Firewall - It is very important that you use a Firewall on your computer. If you use the Windows Firewall you might think that's enough but it only controls inbound traffic. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. Here are some firewalls which are free for personal use and most commonly used:
Comodo
Kerio
Online Armor
Zonealarm

Ok, I don't see much else in the way of infections, one more scan then we can clean out some startups and add some security.


Run Kaspersky Online AV Scanner

Order to use it you have to use Internet Explorer.
Go to Kaspersky and click the Accept button at the end of the page.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.

• Read the Requirements and limitations before you click Accept.
• Allow the ActiveX download if necessary.
• Once the database has downloaded, click Next.
• Click Scan Settings and change the "Scan using the following antivirus database" from standard to extended and then click OK.
• Click on "My Computer"
• When the scan has completed, click Save Report As...
• Enter a name for the file in the Filename: text box and then click the down arrow to the right of Save as type: and select text file (*.txt)
• Click Save - by default the file will be saved to your Desktop, but you can change this if you wish.

Attach the report into your next reply

Nothing in that log in the way of infections.

Windows installer should tell you what it is trying to install.

Also the firewall should tell you when the program tries to connect or access files/registry

 

[rogue12]

ok, what about these startups to remove? and i noticed in the hijackthis log that msiexec.exe is running which i know is Windows Installer process, should that be running if your not installing anything?

thanks.

Go to start -> control panel -> administrative tools -> services

Go Check the service "Windows Installer" it should be set to Manual. (you can stop it now if it's running) Right click it then click properties to change startup type to manual from automatic

In spybot you can click Advanced Mode -> Tools -> System Startup

It will give you options to check/uncheck startups if you want to do it this way
