All of these files were there, so whichever files off of this list that did not show up in killbox, need to be deleted manually using Windows Explorer.

First, Set your system to SHOW HIDDEN FILES then delete the files in bold (whichever ones weren't deleted with Killbox):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\DrPMon.dll
c:\windows\system32\rfkhuub.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Cache\mswinstall.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winupdt.bin
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Cache\InstallAPS.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winupdt.008
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xmlparse.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xmltok.dll
C:\WINDOWS\xvhicr.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Kat\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\WP6F01IJ\Nail[1].exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Kat\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\AWOS291N\aurora[1].exe

Thank you! thank you! thank you! I just opened up my browser to surf a lil and...no more aurora trying to connect! Thanks much. Should I run a few more scans to try to get rid of any residual files from it?

I don't remember which files Killbox couldn't delete, but I'm sure drpmon.dll was one of them. Drpmon.dll doesn't show up in the folder. There is a "Drwatson" and "drwtsn32".

I just need to go over your log real quick as there are a couple of things that need to go (but it won't take me long!)

[Michelle]

Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following:

Viewpoint

Then, Run HiJackThis. Place a check next to the following items, if found, and click FIX CHECKED:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Win Server Updt] C:\WINDOWS\wupdt.exe

O16 - DPF: {41F17733-B041-4099-A042-B518BB6A408C} - http://appldnld.m7z....llInstaller.exe
O16 - DPF: {47CD99DF-8BCF-4B9B-94EF-02E51B2F79DA} - http://www.alwaysupd...ll/aun_0036.exe

This file needs to be deleted:

C:\WINDOWS\wupdt.exe
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint <-may not be there.

Post a new HiJackThis log.

[irate]

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Win Server Updt] C:\WINDOWS\wupdt.exe ---- both didn't show in HJT.


C:\WINDOWS\wupdt.exe ---- not in the WINDOWS folder.

[Michelle]

How is it running now??

[irate]

ah...the sweet sound of a purring computer...no choking! Thanks a bunch.

should i be worried about:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuauclt.exe

or the 2 zone.msn.com processes I have no idea how it got there?

[Michelle]

The zone.msn things are games. But, you can remove them if you want. They are just ActiveX controls and will come back if needed.

Run HiJackThis. Place a check next to these items and click FIX CHECKED:

O16 - DPF: {B8BE5E93-A60C-4D26-A2DC-220313175592} (ZoneIntro Class) - http://zone.msn.com/...ro.cab34246.cab

The wuauclt.exe file is a legitimate system file. It manages automatic Windows updates. Like, I said your log is clean! You would surely know if you had a bad file on your log because I would tell you

[irate]

Ah ok. Thanks a whole bunch.! I appreciate you helping and getting back to me so quickly.

[Michelle]

I highly recommend XP Service Pack 2 now that your system is clean! http://www.microsoft.com click on "Windows Update" then click "Express Install".

Congratulations your log is clean! Great job on the clean up

I recommend checking the http://www.microsoft.com website periodically for critical updates to install.

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

Ewido Security Suite <= Protection against Trojans, Worms, Dialers, Hijackers, Spyware, and Keyloggers.

Detect and Remove Programs:

• How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
• How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.

Prevention Programs:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known 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
• Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

Other necessary Programs:

• AntiVirus Program<= An AntiVirus program is a must! Whether it is a free version like AVG or Anti-Vir, or a shareware version like Norton or Kapersky, this is a must have.
• Firewall<= A firewall is definitely a must have. Two good free versions are Sygate and ZoneAlarm.
