Sorry if this is in the wrong section - I'm totally confused. I have no idea how to get rid of this thing at all. Each nigt I do an AVG virus scan and Ad-Aware scan and get nothing but when I do a scan with Spysweeper I continually come up with this 1 trojan - I cannot locate it and I have no idea where to start in regards to removing it. Any help would be much appreciated. :whistling:

Hello snezzlebear,

Download
http://www.uploads.e...et/rustbfix.exe
...and save it to your desktop.

Double click on rustbfix.exe to run the tool. If a Rustock.b-infection is found, you will shortly hereafter be asked to reboot the computer. The reboot will probably take quite a while, and perhaps 2 reboots will be needed. But this will happen automatically. After the reboot 2 logfiles will open (%root%\avenger.txt & %root%\rustbfix\pelog.txt).

Post the content of these logfiles along with a new HijackThis log.

thanks,
tirol.

Hello Snezzlebear,

  • It will say "Java Plug-in" under the icon.
    Please find the update button or tab in the Java Control Panel. Update your Java then reboot.
  • If you are unable to update you can manually update by going here:
  • After the reboot, go back into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon.
  • Under Temporary Internet Files, click the Delete Files button.
  • There are three options in the window to clear the cache - Leave ALL 3 CheckedDownloaded Applets
    Downloaded Applications
    Other Files
  • Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
    Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
  • Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.
2. Panda Active scan
Please go HERE to run Panda's ActiveScan

  • A new window will open...click the Check Now button
  • Enter your Country
  • Enter your State/Province
  • Enter your e-mail address and click send
  • Select either Home User or Company
  • Click the big Scan Now button
  • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
  • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
  • When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
  • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button,
    then Save Report and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the ActiveScan report
Then redo a Hijackthis scan and post the result alongwith Panda'report.
Thanks,
tirol.

Hello snezzlebear,

Just few things to complete.
all is OK now. :whistling:

deleting bad files/folder & programms

To enable the viewing of Hidden files follow these steps:
  • Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.
  • Double-click on the My Computer icon.
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • After the new window appears select the View tab.
  • Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders.
  • Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders.
  • Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types.
  • Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files.
  • Press the Apply button and then the OK button and shutdown My Computer.
  • Now your computer is configured to show all hidden files.
Using Windows Explorer (to get there right-click your Start button and go to "Explore"), please delete these files (if present):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\actskn45.ocx


When it's done :
reset your hidden/system files and folders.
System files are hidden for a reason and we don't want to have them openly available and susceptible to accidental deletion.* Click Start.
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View tab.
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading UNCHECK Show hidden files and folders.
* CHECK the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.
Keep "hide extensions for known file types" box unchecked as a security feature.


Via control panel => add/remove
remove the old Java VM
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 8
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9


Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

You will keep this programm. It doesn't need any installation.Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browserClick Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browserClick Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.


clean your restore points and set a new one:

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows.
The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files.
This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)1. Turn off System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
2. Restart your computer.

3. Turn ON System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
[/list]System Restore will now be active again with a clean brand-new restore point.



Some security advices :
In addition to keep your anti-virus programm up-dated, please, consider the following points thouroughly :

1. - Windows Updates -
It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft.
To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.

2. - A real Firewall -
Windows Firewall is an in-bound only firewall. It doesn't prevent baddies (or verbose programs) to access the Net from your machine.
You should look forward about installing a good software firewall :
Two good free versions are Sygate and ZoneLabs.

3. - Hosts file -
In conjunction with a software Firewall, a hosts file well managed is a must :
MVPS Hosts file <=
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known bad sites .
Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer


Another good site to learn more about Firewall/hosts file
http://www.accs-net....ts/eDexter.html

Hoster: an excellent tool to manage easily your hosts file:
Download the Hoster from here http://www.funkytoad.com/


4. - anti-spyware tools -
Keep your anti-spyware tools updated and scan at least once a week depending on your Internet activity (Web-browsing, mailing...).


5. Use ATFcleaner on a regular basis.


6. - other tools -
The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people to keep away from getting infected again.
  • SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
  • SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
  • IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
  • Trillian or Miranda-IM -
    These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
6. To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein

7. Last but not least : you have been housing very bad infections which propagate more and more nowadays.
To counter-fight this situation, the main international anti-malware experts have set a place to receive complaints from net's users.
Please, visit this site http://www.malwareco....info/index.php
and give all informations about your situation.

I insist on a S/W Firewall : it's the first barrier against malware !
Have a safe and happy computing new year :blink: !
tirol

PS : if all OK from you, i will close this topic.

I really don't understand this HOSTS thing :whistling:



Also what do you mean by an S/W Firewall and Java VM?

I really need to be cautious of what I install as my computer is pretty old and doesn't really have that much memory :blink:


I have just installed Zone Alarm Firewall and i have begun having difficulties logging in to certain forums and connecting to the internet in general. Do you have any ideas why this is occuring?

hello snezzlebear,

Download and save KillBox to your Desktop


Run KillBox and select Standard File Kill
Copy this list of file and folder locations to your clipboard:

c:\windows\downloaded program files\f3initialsetup1.0.0.15.inf

Go to File>>Paste from clipboard
For each file, press the button with a red X in it and click Yes>>OK
When all files/folders have been removed, exit KillBox


I really don't understand this HOSTS thing

From the link i gave you : http://www.accs-net....ts/eDexter.html
did you read this : http://www.accs-net....t_is_hosts.html ?
hosts file, with no extension is located at : c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
can you tell me if you downloaded one, and which size is it ?

Also what do you mean by an S/W Firewall and Java VM?

i apologize to have used acronyms.
S/W firewall is a SoftWare firewall such as Zone alarm
Java VM is the Java Virtual Machine.
When updated, as you did, old versions are useless and then can be uninstall
Start => Control Panel => Add/remove programms, remove :
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 8
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9

I really need to be cautious of what I install as my computer is pretty old and doesn't really have that much memory

how much do you have

I have just installed Zone Alarm Firewall and i have begun having difficulties logging in to certain forums and connecting to the internet in general.
Do you have any ideas why this is occuring?

is this related really to Zone Alarm installation or and hosts file ?

You can free some memory by stopping certains AntiMalware shields :

Disable Tea-timer from SpyBot Search&Destroy:
  • Open Spybot Search & Destroy.
  • In the Mode menu click "Advanced mode" if not already selected.
  • Choose "Yes" at the Warning prompt.
  • Expand the "Tools" menu.
  • Click "Resident".
  • Uncheck the "Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of overall system settings) active." box.
  • In the File menu click "Exit" to exit Spybot Search & Destroy.
SuperAntispyware :
right-click on the shortcut from the system tray :
choose : View Control Center (preferences/options)
on the General and Startup tab:
uncheck : Start SUPERAntispyware when Windows starts
then click Close to exit.

To disable SpySweeper:
Open it, click >Options over to the left then >Program Options >Uncheck "load at windows startup".
Over to the left click "shields" and uncheck all there.
Uncheck "home page shield".
Uncheck "automatically restore default without notification".

redo a scan with HijackThis and post the log here,
thanks,
tirol.

Just wanted to make sure I was unerstanding you I can see a boz with a red circle and a white cross is this the button you mean?

From the link i gave you : http://www.accs-net....ts/eDexter.html
did you read this : http://www.accs-net....t_is_hosts.html ?
hosts file, with no extension is located at : c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
can you tell me if you downloaded one, and which size is it ?


I think I understand it now I did read it but it confused me then. Is it basically like a call monitoring system :whistling:

I got one called "Hoster" from www.funkytoad.com.
If I'm understanding you right 275KB

i apologize to have used acronyms.

No need to apologise :) I just thought I had missed something or was understanding you properly

I really need to be cautious of what I install as my computer is pretty old and doesn't really have that much memory
how much do you have



On C Drive I have 33 GB and on D Drive I have 12.2 GB which I am told pretty much equates to nothing *being extremley tiny* but to be honest I have no concept of size when it comes to computers at all. :blink:

is this related really to Zone Alarm installation or and hosts file ?


I'm not sure. :help: How do I find out?

Do I also need to do this with Ad-Aware SE Personal, SpyWareBlaster and SpyWareGuard?

Hello dear snezzlebear,

I think I understand it now I did read it but it confused me then. Is it basically like a call monitoring system

It's a bit surprising you are talking about call monitoring system !
What do you know about that ?

Let's coming back with your question :
as an example : when a machine (your PC) wants to "talk" to another machine, dialog between them is what we call a "protocol", whatever the physical link is.
When you "dial" : www.geekstogo.com, there is a translation to get IP@ of the machine.
Whatever you have, ADSL or old 56 Kbits modem, that's doesn't matter.
www.geekstogo.com is translated into an IP adress.
That's what we call DNS resolution.
Let's say our nasty friend : http//www.youri.ru is known as a nest of malware.
Oh yes, either it's a known place to get lot of cracks or keygen to work-around so costly softwares, or it's just making money by visiting that place.
You don't want to get there, do you ?
the problem is lot of malwares redirect you into places you didn't want to be.
Most of the times, it's not harmful, but it becames annoying. But by lack of chance, it can be more then nasty.
What you get is a sample. Hope this is clear.
To get rid of that, there's a simple way. embedeed with your Operating system, XP.
At the very beginning of windows installation, there is an hosts file, but nuke, in fact exactly equals to hosts.sam.
Now let's say you've been polluted, whatever the means but in final you are redirected to the youri'site.
It can be by opening a wrong mail attachment, of course not, you'd say !
or not follow regular windows updates, no no i do it !
or having no firewall, hmmm yes i guess !
OK, let's go on : the insane succeeds to come into your machine.
Every time you want to go to Google the malware changes it to youri.ru.
Hosts file can just avoid this.
by adding a line such as = 127.0.0.1 www.youri.ru
you'll get an error while surfing when typing google.
Why ?
because this IP address is your own machine (private), and when any Internet browser want to go there, reading hosts file will
get there and as a non-Internet (public) address.
For sure it will not let you go to Google until we've have helped you to be clean.
Not sure, my dear snezzlebear, all above is clear enough.
Hoster is a tool, to help managing this file.

What you will have to get in mind is :
you can have all the tools installed ,and moreover the free ones,the most important safe tool is your own brain.

do you have still problem while surfing ?
what forum don't you reach ?


I didn't ask you about your Hard Drive capacity, but about your memory .
Easy way : right-click on system-tray, then open task manager, when there under Performances tab you get it in Physical memory => total :blink:

tirol.

PS. you don't have any problem with QUOTE : only thing is you have to be careful of opening tags and ending tags.
ie. : [tag] blalbla [/tag]
if you miss the pair [tag] and [/tag], or any "roving" tag alone without its friend , then you get the mess :whistling:

I don't know much bout call monitoring systems actually thats just what it sounded like to me =/


the forum I am having difficulty getting on now is www.pojo.com

It lets me type in my logon details but when I click "logon" my password disappears and it says I have enteredt an incorrect username or password so I really don't get wats going on there :whistling:


Also just recently my Firewall has been switching itself off ... now i don't think this could even meran hugs and puppies. Im not sure how to stop it but I also do not know how to re-activate my Zone Alarm Pro fire wall
