Hey guys,

I think my computer has been infected through the trojan subSeven. It was given to me hidden inside another executable, and ever since i discovered it, my windows explorer has failed to run properly. I cant even search for files, or access directories.

I have all the spyware removal programs on the "start here" page and have tried to eliminate everything using those, but it hasnt fixed my problem.
It would be great if someone could take a look at this HijackThis log and see if its clean or not...

Thanks heaps, David

I noticed you have TDS3 installed. Did that find SubSeven ? And where?

I did everything you said to do, and heres the log.

No, Ewido found SubSeven, and i got rid of it through that, except now everything goes real slow, and explorer always locks up. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Also, is it safe to remove...

F3 - REG:win.ini: run=âkF ?

it comes up on startup all the time

[Metallica]

Do you still have the Ewido report of what it removed?

Also click Start > Run > type or copy&paste Notepad C:\win.ini > OK

Post the content of the txt file that comes up.

Regards,

[funtmachine]

I have attached a Screen capture of the ewido quarantine section. It was the closest thing to a log that i could find.

The C:\win.ini file could not be found, and i think it might be because i downloaded winpatrol and used it to remove the akf-a thingo from the startup. that particular file came from the SubSeven trojan, and i think it might have been a copy of the server.exe file that is used to open up a computer.

Any ideas?

Yes. That makes sense. Had nothing to do with SubSeven if I'm right but with the Alcan Worm.
