[JayBradford]

My hard drive just works away doing something but I can not tell what. I hope something jumps out to you from my HiJack log. I did all the scans in the "you must read this before..." page and only Panda ActiveScan came up with anything:

Incident Status Location

Potentially unwanted tool:application/alfacleaner Disinfected HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN\ALFACLEANER
Spyware:Cookie/2o7 Disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Brad Sweeney\Cookies\brad sweeney@2o7[2].txt
Spyware:Cookie/Serving-sys

Then the HiJack log:

Hi Jay,

Let's see if we can calm it down a bit.
The drive will always have tasks that you may not be aware off.

Run HijackTHis and put checkmarks before the following items:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {77701e16-9bfe-4b63-a5b4-7bd156758a37} - (no file)

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
O15 - Trusted Zone: www.iwon.com

Click Fix checked and reboot when you are done.

After the reboot go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove all the ViewPoint Software.

Let me know if that helps a bit.

Thanks for the help. At first it did seem to calm it down a bit but after just a short time it is back at it again. And by running all the time I don't mean a burst here and there as if something is running in the background...more like hard working as if it were opening an application. The machine is about two years old and the change was very dramatic one day so I know something changed...I just can't figure out what. Any other thoughts?

[Metallica]

Let's check a bit deeper.

1. Download combofix http://download.blee...Bs/combofix.exe
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply.

Note:
Do not click on combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall.

Regards,

[JayBradford]

Thank you so much for your help...this is quite a report that it generates..

There is something in there that I don't recognize.

1. Launch Notepad, and copy/paste the contents of the quote box below into a new Notepad file. Save it with file name options.txt and save as file type: all files to your desktop.

RegSearch Options File

[Search]
{e57ce738-33e8-4c51-8354-bb4de9d215d1}

[Exclude]

[Options]
Filter=KVDLUI

2. Download Registry Search to your desktop.

• Right click on the compressed RegSearch folder, and choose "Extract All". In the box that pops open, click "Next", then "Next" again, and then "Finish". You now have another RegSearch folder on your desktop.
• Open the new folder, and double click on regsearch.exe
• Click "Import" in the lower left corner and browse to the options.txt file that you just saved on your desktop. Do not choose the one in the RegSearch folder itself.
• Click OK and Registry Search will scan your registry for the file(s), and a Notepad box will open with a report.
• Please reply here with the entire contents of the Notepad file from RegSearch.

Regards,

[JayBradford]

I hope with all the work you are putting into this we get to the bottom of it...thanks again!

We'll need to find out what file is associated with this entry, so it takes another step.

Click Start > Run and copy this command into the box:

regedit.exe /e C:\upnpmonitor.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{e57ce738-33e8-4c51-8354-bb4de9d215d1}"

and click OK to exceute.
Doing this successfully will create the file C:\upnpmonitor.txt
Find that file and post the content.

[JayBradford]

It looks legit enough.

To make sure can you surf to:
http://www.virustotal.com/vt/
and upload this file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\upnpui.dll

I think it will turn out to be the real MicroSoft file, but I want to make sure.

OK. One more test before I declare you clean.

• Surf to: Sophos free tools: Anti-Rootkit
• Click the "Download" button
• Read the conditions and fill out your Details.
• Click the Download Sophos Anti-Rootkit link.
• Save the sarsfx.exe to location on your harddrive where you can find it later on.

Installing

• Close as many applications as possible and execute sarsfx.exe by doubleclicking it.
• Accept the EULA and install the software to the loaction of your choice.(Default is C:\SOPHTEMP)

Running for analysis

• In that folder find and double-click sargui.exe
• Select the areas that you want to scan for hidden objects (Running processes, Windows registry, Local hard drives)
• Click Start > Run and copy this command into the window %TEMP%\sarscan.log and click OK to execute.
• A textfile will open. Post the content of that file.

Regards,

[JayBradford]

Once again nothing...any thoughts as to what in the heck it is? Short of re formating the drive can I do anything?

Is it that annoying?

I'm thinking it might be a hardware problem.
Start a new thread here:
