I'm a bit new to this so I hope someone can help and take pity on me - as I'm not entirely sure about what I'm doing.
My sons computer seems to have a nasty bug which I cant get rid of with Ad-Aware (his anti-virus had lapsed - I've renewed it now but cant get rid of the integrity check wizard).
I've seem a few posts about running Hijack this but I dont know what it is or how to do it.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
many thanks
 
Hi - thanks so much for this. Sorry its taken a while but it took a while to work my way through all the various scans and stuff.

Anyway, this is my Hijack this log

Since doing some of the scans I've now got rid of the desktop message (the desktop is now plain white) but it still thinks the task manager is disabled.

I also get another message when I boot up which says;

error: c/Windows/system32/glawxfjy.dll
module could not be found

Thanks so much for saving me and my son (we'll definately know better next time)

Unistall this,
Viewpoint Media Player
LimeWire 4.16.6


I would like you to do an online scan so that we can what else may be in your system,
Run Kaspersky online scanner
With the exception of Internet Explorer, which must be used for this scan, keep ALL programs closed
Note: It is recommended to disable onboard antivirus program and antispyware programs while performing scans to speed up scan time and to make sure there are no conflicts.
Do not go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable resident antivirus protection along with whatever antispyware application you use.


Do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner in Internet Explorer. You will be prompted to install and run an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
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 licence accepted, reset to 100%.
  • The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
  • Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
    o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
    o Extended (If available, otherwise use standard)
    o Scan Options:
    o Scan Archives
    o Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Under select a target to scan, select My Computer
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Please do not use your computer while the scan is running. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Click the Save Report As... button (see red arrow below)

    Kas-SaveReport-1.gif

  • In the Save as... prompt, select Desktop
  • In the File name box, name the file
  • In the Save as type prompt, select Text file (see below)

  • Include the report in your next post.
 
Thanks for your help - here is the log from kaspersky.

I havent done anything with the files or virus identified - I've just left the window open for now.

By the way - I've deleted Limewire and the media player but wanted to ask - is Limewire not safe anymore. I read one site that said that it wasnt but is now and one that said it still isnt? If its not I dont suppose you know a safe site - my son will be gutted when I tell him its gone in the interests of safety.

Sorry to be a pain but is the computer ok to use? Should we stay off the internet until its clear or is ok now that the anti-virus is back up and running?

Many thanks for all your help - dont know what I would have done otherwise.
 
Sorry - one more thing.

I deleted Limewire but its still showing in the system tray but its no longer in the list when I go to add/remove programs. When I click on the icon in the tray it opens up and says a security update is needed - is there a way to remove from the tray too?

Many thanks
 
We'll try and clear up the Limewire entries now, you are always going to take a risk downloading things off the internet, Limewire especially is true of this as you cannot in anyway be sure of the content you are downloading.

OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer - Version 1.0.4.1 log created on 04262008_171407
 
Excellent!! They are all clear, just a few entries in the system restore and the moved files, we'll take care of that now.

Please download the OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer.

  • Double-click OTMoveIt2.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  • The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.

Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTMoveIt2 attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

  • Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows XP or Vista then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.

    You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

    Windows XP System Restore Guide

    or

    Windows Vista System Restore Guide

Re-enable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
  • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
  • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
  • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
  • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
  • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button
  • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

  • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  • Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option.

    This will provide real-time spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Instructions for Spybot S & D

  • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety

  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Comodo BOCLEAN <= Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
  • Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
  • Winpatrol <= Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
    Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software

Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints <--- where you can make difference!

The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

Also, please read this great article by Tony Klein So How Did I Get Infected In First Place
 
Sorry for the delay in replying we have been away.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for helping us - we have both realised the massive error of our ways and will certainly do everything you recommended to ensure this doesnt happen again - I dont know what we'd have done without your help.

My son has asked just one question - do you know of any music sites where he can get music without running the risk to his computer?

Many thanks once again
