Hello,

The other day I have a bad case of spyware, which caused my homepage to change repeatedly. In addition, I had multiple warnings on the bottom right desktop toolbar warning of 'viruses/trojans'. I ran some of the suggested programs such as: ATF Cleaner, MBAM, SAS, and Panda. Since then, the notifications have ceased as well as the homepage change, but now am experiencing lag. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could inform me of whether I am clean or not. Logs are listed below. Thanks in advance!

Hi Alex,

Not looking to bad, what’s appears to be making your system lag is you are running two Anti-Virus at the same time (McAfee & Avast4). It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory can cause system crashes, high system usage and/or conflicts with each other. So please decide witch one you want to keep then simply uninstall the other one.

===============================================


Fix with HijackThis


(You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.)

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [IEUpdate] C:\WINDOWS\system32\1031i.exe

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis (especially Internet Explorer!), then click Fix Checked. Close HiJackThis. Reboot into safe mode..(Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.)

Using Windows Explorer (to get there right-click your Start button and go to "My Computer"or Hold down the Windows Key + E ), please delete these files (if present):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\1031i.exe

After that, Reboot, and move to the next step.

===============================================


ATF Cleaner

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 onlyDouble-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.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

===============================================

Kaspersky WebScanner
Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

Click on Accept

You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
    Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
    • Scan Options:
    Scan Archives
    Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:Select My Computer
  • This will program will start and scan your system.
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
    • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
  • Copy and paste that information in your next post.
===============================================

Needed in your next reply:

Kaspersky WebScanner results, and a fresh HijackThis log.

Also let me know how things are running :)

Forgot to mention, things are running a bit more smoothly, though the lag is still visible. Pop-ups have definitely ceased.

Hi Alex,

Your logs are clean the only thing showing is either quarantined or in a system restore point, and we are going to flush your restore points next.

As for the lag, you are still running two Anti-Virus at the same time (McAfee & Avast4). It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory can cause system crashes, high system usage and/or conflicts with each other. So please decide witch one you want to keep McAfee or Avast4 then uninstall the other.

===============================================


Please go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following (if present):

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware


===============================================


Reset your restore points

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(Windows XP)
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. Reboot.

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.

===============================================


Needed in your next reply:

Let me know what anti-virus you decided to keep, and how things are running after you uninstall the other Anti-virus.

Hi BHowett,

I'm currently at work so I won't be able to execute your requests until this evening. But I had a question regarding the 2 anti-viruses that i'm running. Last night I had disabled only McAfee's anti-virus, but the reason I don't want to uninstall McAfee completely is because i'm using McAfee only for its Firewall. Do you suggest I uninstall the program as a whole and just install another program specializing as my firewall?

Hi Alex Mora,

McAfee is using way to many resources to keep it just for the firewall, so yes I would recommend you uninstall it. When we are finished I will post an all clear speech that has tips and tricks to help educate you on keeping your system clean. In the speech there will be three free firewall programs for you to choose from, all of witch are good and light on resources. :)

Hey BHowett,

I have decided to keep Avast and uninstall McAfee.

Performance seems to be a bit more efficient, but i'm still hesitant on the following issues:

- Once I log onto my computer from the Windows log on screen, is it normal to take about 2 minutes or so before I can actually click on something and navigate? Is this because i have too many programs on the bottom right task toolbar waiting to load?

- Also, the first time I attempt to run Mozilla when my computer has restarted typically takes 15-20 seconds to load, even with a very basic homepage set (e.g., google.com). Is this normal?

Hi Alex Mora,

- Once I log onto my computer from the Windows log on screen, is it normal to take about 2 minutes or so before I can actually click on something and navigate? Is this because i have too many programs on the bottom right task toolbar waiting to load?

- Also, the first time I attempt to run Mozilla when my computer has restarted typically takes 15-20 seconds to load, even with a very basic homepage set (e.g., google.com). Is this normal?


Your logs appear to be clean, and yes you have a lot of things loading on the start up so that will effect your start up time. I recommend disabling everything that you don’t absolutely need at start up. You can always start them manually if you want to use them.

===============================================

I see you have SUPERAntiSpyware running on start up, you don’t need it and I would recommend uninstalling it to free up resources. Also I see you have Viewpoint Manager installed, it is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without user's approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". I recommend that you remove all Viewpoint products to free up resources.

go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following (if present):

SUPERAntiSpyware
Viewpoint Manager
Viewpoint Media Player


===============================================


CameraAssistant.exe (Logitech QuickCams) process can be removed to free up resources without compromising system performance. Related to Logitech QuickCams and provides additional configuration options for these devices. This is a valid program but it is not required to run on startup as you can start it manually if you need it. This program is non-essential process to the running of the system, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems. Whether or not you need to run this program on startup must be decided by you. If you feel that you want this program starting automatically so that you have it available as needed, then do not disable it. It is advised that you disable this program so that it does not take up necessary resources. Many users have reported this process slows their boot time


===============================================


Try doing the above, and be sure to disable everything that you don’t absolutely need at start up. Post back when you’re done and let me know how things are running. :)

Hey BHowett,

I have removed the programs that you requested I remove (SAS, Viewpoint Media, Viewpoint Manager) and bootup seems to run a bit faster. Thanks!

Also, I clicked your attached link in order to make Mozilla faster and it has absolutely made a difference.

But I'm having difficulty terminating the Logitech Quickcams? I can terminate the process but after a restart it will reload. How do i go about only having it load when i manually choose to do so?

Another question, in regards to the Hijack logs that i normally paste on my replies, do the "O4 - HKLM\..\Run:" signify the particular process that activates during boot up? If so, how do i disable the following processes?

VoiceCenter
LogitechCameraAssistant
Logitech Video
HostManager (AOL)
QuickTime Task
iTunesHelper

Hi Alex Mora,

Yes the 04’s in the HijackThis log are what you have running at startup

VoiceCenter, LogitechCameraAssistant, Logitech Video, HostManager, and iTunesHelper can be fixed with HijackThis to stop them from running at startup. QuickTime Task is a little different so let me give you a little information about it.

QuickTime is running at Startup. This is QuickTime's system tray icon and not necessary for the program to function properly. It is considered to be a resource hog. You will still be able to start it manually if you need it. You can fix this with HijackThis, but you will need to change the setting in QuickTime Player itself to keep it from resetting itself.. This is the item to fix in HijackThis:

O4 HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" atboottime

There is a small program that will prevent QuickTime from resetting itself.
Please download Engraph-QuickTime-Killer This is a free utility from EnGraph software. For more information about EnGraph, go to www.engraph.com. This application is intended for people that use or consume Sprint Video Mail, as Sprint uses QuickTime for viewing thier movies. (or anybody that hates QuickTime) Of course, as soon as QuickTime is ran, it adds itself to startup, which is very annoying to me. This application will remove QuickTime from start up and kill any running QuickTime processes. This application runs silently at start up and closes itself as soon as it takes care of QuickTime.

Also if you don’t use QuickTime at all, you could always remove it with add/remove programs.

===============================================



Fix with HijackThis

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VoiceCenter] "C:\Program Files\Creative\VoiceCenter\AndreaVC.exe" /tray
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LVCOMSX] C:\WINDOWS\system32\LVCOMSX.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LogitechCameraAssistant] C:\Program Files\Logitech\Video\CameraAssistant.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LogitechVideo[inspector]] C:\Program Files\Logitech\Video\InstallHelper.exe /inspect
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HostManager] C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\1161125389\ee\AOLSoftware.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iTunesHelper] "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe"


Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked. Close HiJackThis. Also you have to decide what you want to do with QuickTime.


After that, Reboot, and post a new HijackThis log here in your reply, and let me know how your system is running. :)

Hi HBowett,

Things are definitely running much smoother now! :)

I have fixed the following with HiJack this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VoiceCenter] "C:\Program Files\Creative\VoiceCenter\AndreaVC.exe" /tray
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LVCOMSX] C:\WINDOWS\system32\LVCOMSX.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LogitechCameraAssistant] C:\Program Files\Logitech\Video\CameraAssistant.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LogitechVideo[inspector]] C:\Program Files\Logitech\Video\InstallHelper.exe /inspect
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HostManager] C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\1161125389\ee\AOLSoftware.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iTunesHelper] "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe"

and

O4 HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" atboottime

Question though, in removing the QuickTime Task at startup, is using the "Fixed Check" for its 04 sufficient? Or is the Engraph-Quicktime Killer necessary? After I "Fixed" QuickTime task with HiJack This, it seems as if it's no longer in the HiJack This log or will QuickTime reset and be eventually added to my processesagain?

Hi Alex Mora,


glad to hear things are running better :)



Question though, in removing the QuickTime Task at startup, is using the "Fixed Check" for its 04 sufficient? Or is the Engraph-Quicktime Killer necessary? After I "Fixed" QuickTime task with HiJack This, it seems as if it's no longer in the HiJack This log or will QuickTime reset and be eventually added to my processesagain?


Yes quicktime will continue to add its self to your startup, you will need to change the setting in QuickTime Player itself to keep it from resetting itself. Even changing the settings will not stop it completely from resetting in your start up, that why Engraph-QuickTime-Killer came about.



This is my standard post for when you are clear - which you now are - or seem to be. Please advise me of any problems you still have. I know you already have an Anti-Virus program, so you can disregard it in this post. I just like to include it incase you ever need it.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Posted Image 1.) Watch what you download!
Many freeware programs, and P2P programs like Grokster, Imesh, Kazaa and others are amongst the most notorious, come with an enormous amount of bundled spyware that will eat system resources, slow down your system, clash with other installed software, or just plain crash your browser or even Windows itself. If you insist on using a P2P program, please read This Article written by Mike Healan of Spywareinfo.com fame. It is an updated and comprehensive article that gives in-depth detail about which P2P programs are "safe" to use.

Posted Image 2.) Go to Intenet Explorer > Tools > Windows Update > Product Updates, and install ALL High-Priority Security Updates listed. If you're running Windows XP, that of course includes the Service Pack 2! If you suspect your computer is infected with Malware of any type, we advise you to not install SP2 if you don't already have it. You can post a HijackThis log on our Forums to get free Expert help cleaning your machine. Once you are sure you have a clean system, it is highly recommended to install SP2 to help prevent against future infections.

It's important to always keep current with the latest security fixes from Microsoft.
Install those patches for Internet Explorer, and make sure your installation of Java VM is up-to-date. There are some well known security bugs with Microsoft Java VM which are exploited regularly by browser hijackers.

Posted Image 3.) Open Intenet Explorer and go to Internet Options > Security > Internet, then press "Default Level", then OK. Now press "Custom Level." In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".

Now you will be asked whether you want ActiveX objects to be executed and whether you want software to be installed.
Sites that you know for sure are above suspicion can be moved to the Trusted Zone in Internet Option > Security.

So why is ActiveX so dangerous that you have to increase the security for it?
When your browser runs an activex control, it is running an executable program. It's no different from doubleclicking an exe file on your hard drive.
Would you run just any random file downloaded off a web site without knowing what it is and what it does?

Posted Image 4.) Install Javacool's SpywareBlaster

It will protect you from most spy/foistware in it's database by blocking installation of their ActiveX objects.

Download and install, download the latest updates, and you'll see a list of all spyware programs covered by the program (NOTE: this is NOT spyware found on your computer) Press "Enable All Protection", and you're done.
The spyware that you told Spywareblaster to set the "kill bit" for won't be a hazard to you any longer. Although it won't protect you from every form of spyware known to man, it is a very potent extra layer of protection.
Don't forget to check for updates every week or so.

Posted Image 5.) Let's also not forget that Spybot Search & Destroy has the Immunize feature which works roughly the same way. Another feature within Spybot is the TeaTimer option. This option immediately detects known malicious processes wanting to start and terminates them. TeaTimer also detects when something wants to change some critical registry keys and gives you an option to allow them or not.

Posted Image 6.) Microsoft now offers their own free malicious software blocking tool. Windows Defender improves Internet browsing safety by guarding over fifty (50) ways spyware can enter your PC.

Posted Image 7.) Another excellent program by Javacool we recommend is SpywareGuard.
It provides a degree of real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.

Posted Image 8.) 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. Another good hosts program is mvpshosts. This little program packs a powerful punch as it block ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers. For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial.

*It is important to note that all of the above programs/files can be run simultaneously on your system. They will work together in layers, so to speak, to help protect your computer. However, the following suggestions are designed to only run one of each. It is not a good idea to run more than one firewall, and one anti-virus program. Running more than one of these at a time can cause system crashes, high system usage and/or conflicts with each other.*

Posted Image 9.) It is critical that you use a firewall to protect your computer from hackers. We don't recommend the firewall that comes built in to Windows. It doesn't block everything that may try to get in, and the entire firewall is written to the registry. As various kinds of malware hack the Registry in order to disable the Windows firewall, it's far preferable to install one of the excellent third party solutions. Three good ones that are freeware to boot are ZoneAlarm, Kerio and Sygate

Posted Image 10.) An Anti-Virus product is a necessity. There are many excellent programs that you can purchase. However, we choose to advocate the use of free programs whenever possible. Some very good and easy-to-use free A/V programs are AVG, Avast, and AntiVir. It's a good idea to set these to receive automatic updates so you are always as fully protected as possible from the newest virus threats.

NOTE: DO NOT install more than one anti-virus program. They will conflict, and provide less protection, not more.


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.

Thanks for letting us help you!
