My dial-up connection was behaving itself for awhile, where I could connect on first dial-up attempt.

Anyway, the error 691 has once again occurred.

Here is the log of ppp trace while receiving 691 error on dial-up attempt -

Pretty much what you thought:

Auth Protocol c023 terminated with error 691

username/password incorrect.

What usually happens is they have several authentication servers that share the load. One of them is probably sick or programmed wrong or has an incorrect database. Nothing you can do on your end except complain to the ISP.

Thanks!

I've emailed my ISP together with a copy of PPP scan log. We'll see what happens (if anything).

Avast Free Antivirus seems to be having problems updating its database (possibly because I'm on a slow dial-up connection; this is a common issue unfortunately where some other programs will not update (completely) due to slow internet connection).

It seems an Avast executable named "instup.exe" is running, which I presume is the updating process, but is apparently generating some error messages within Avast program itself and within a program named Process Monitor which I'm running to view what is happening. Basically it appears that Avast is NOT updating, although it seems Avast is trying to. And it very briefly shows the update download progress indicator (which doesn't appear to be progressing) before quickly showing the "error"(?) in Avast screen that Setup is already running!?

Here are screenshots of what is happening -

Perhaps it was a mistake to right click and Run As Admin tho that's what I have always done. The folders that Avast is trying to get to do not exist where it thinks they are. I would uninstall it and try a new install.

Having trouble with Avast Free Antivirus (AFA)!

First, it wouldn't let me uninstall it with a message that Avast Setup was still running!!? So I rebooted into Safe Mode and manged to uninstall AFA then.

Rebooted to Normal Mode, and this time re-installed AFA just by double clicking the standalone installer executable, instead of running the installer as an Administrator.

Under AFA Update Settings, I made sure to check that the program and virus definition updates were set to "Manual". I don't want automatic updates running in the background as they would severely limit available bandwidth on the internet (I'm on dial-up) for browsing and other tasks.

Also set the option that "I only connect to the internet using a dial up modem".

This time updating the Virus Definitions seemed to work (although there was a very brief error message appearing at the start of the updating). The updating progress indicator worked this time also.

Next I tried to update the "Specialized Definitions" under the Boot-time scan. There was no feedback of any kind by AFA that the specialized definitions were actually being downloaded (no progress indicator, no indication of file size, nothing)!? However the computer network indicator showed that data was being downloaded.

After about four hours (!!), the network indicator showed that data was still being downloaded!? At this stage approximately 70 ~ 80+ MB of data would have been downloaded. Surely the Specialized Definitions file(s) wouldn't be as large as 70 ~ 100 MB (or whatever)? I then cancelled the download by exiting AFA.

Later I started AFA again, and it stated that the Specialized Definitions are installed and ready to use!? How can that be when I stopped the downloading previously!?

Before attempting a Boot-Time SCan, I'd like some further guidance, especially regarding the size of the Specialized Definition file(s), if known.

Are there some other alternative anti-malware scanners to verify (as far as possible) that there is no malware residing in my computer? By the way, I've tried ESET Online Scanner, but it doesn't seem to work, as required files to be downloaded do not complete downloading (probably because of my slow internet connection).

Sorry it's giving you such grief. I haven't worked with dialup in about 10 years. No idea how big the extra definitions are. I think they used to say but

I just did it and they don't say anymore. Took about 20 seconds on a 9.86 Mbps to download and install so they may be that big.

If it says it has the definitions go ahead and try the boot-time scan.

As for other scanners, we can try Rogue Killer. It's not as heavy duty as the Avast boot-time scan but it's still about a 21MB download.

Let's run Rogue Killer

http://www.adlice.co...iller/#download

Portable 32 bits <==USE THIS ONE

Download and Save.

Right click on the downloaded file (RogueKillerX64.exe or RogueKiller.exe) and Run As admin

Start Scan

Will take about 20 minutes to complete.

Open Report

Export TXT (save it to your desktop as rk) Save

Do not let Rogue Killer remove anything until you hear from me. Leave Rogue Killer up (but minimized) so you won't have to rescan.

Open rk.txt and copy and paste it to your next Reply.

RK doesn't like headlight and the suspicous path stuff so you can let RK remove it all if you want or not. It didn't really find anything bad.

Avast did find two trojans or at least what it thinks are trojans. It also shows a lot of corrupt archives. It just flags them. I usually go back and manually delete the archives since a corrupt archive can cause odd problems if a program tries to use it.

File C:\Program Files\Bookmark Buddy Unicode\BmkBuddy.chm|>$FIftiMain Error 42136 {CHM archive is corrupted.}

The actual file name stops at the | symbol. So the file that you would delete is: C:\Program Files\Bookmark Buddy Unicode\BmkBuddy.chm

These:

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download \... files. These are Windows Updates.

The recommended procedure for these is:

net stop wuauserv
del C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution /q /s

net start wuauserv

(from an elevated command prompt)

I'm assuming these downloads got corrupted by your dial up services.

Thanks.

I've run the commands for Windows updating.

Headlight is related to legitimate software, so it is not of any concern.

I'll reinstall some of the corrupted programs/files and reinstall those legitimate programs that were removed (BookMark Buddy and FLVPlayer4Free).

Otherwise the system is apparently malware free now?

Looks good to me. I think we can clean up:

Time to clean up:

To delete the Quarantine Folder used by FRST create a fixlist.txt file with just the following line:

DeleteQuarantine:

Save the fixlist.txt to the same folder as FRST then run FRST and hit Fix. You can easily delete any other folders and logs.

If we installed Speccy it needs to be uninstalled. Process Explorer, VEW, AdwCleaner, JRT and their logs and Speccy's log can just be deleted.

Also make sure you have the latest versions of any adobe.com products you use like Shockwave, Flash or Acrobat. Flash is now the most malware targeted program so it must be kept up to date. Be careful with Adobe. They are fond of offering optional downloads like yahoo or Ask toolbars or that worthless McAfee Security Scan. Go slow and uncheck the optional stuff.

Whether you use adobe reader, acrobat or fox-it to read pdf files you need to disable Javascript in the program. There is an exploit out there now that can use it to get on your PC. For Adobe Reader: Start, All Programs, Adobe Reader, Edit, Preferences, Click on Javascript in the left column and uncheck Enable Acrobat Javascript. OK Close program. It's the same for Foxit reader except you uncheck Enable Javascript Actions.

If you use Chrome/Firefox then get the Ublock Origin Add-on from https://www.ublock.org/. For IE go to adblockplus.org and get the add-on. (It's actually a program for IE)

If Chrome/Firefox is slow loading make sure it only has the current Java add-on. Then download and run Speedy Fox.

http://www.crystalidea.com/speedyfox. Close Chrome/Firefox/Skpe. Hit Optimize. You can run it any time that Chrome/Firefox seems slow starting..

To prevent a relatively new phishing attack: In Firefox, type:

about:config

in the URL box and hit Enter. You should get a new page of options (if you get a notice about voiding the warranty just cancel the warning). In the Search box put in

puny

You should only get one option:

network.IDN_show_punycode

We want it to say True but by default it is False so double click on it to toggle from False to True.

Close and restart firefox.

To test it you can go to:

https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/

If the value is false you will see https://www.apple.cominstead of the correct value

If you are a Facebook user get the FB Purity extension for your browser:

http://www.fbpurity.com/

This will stop all of the suggested pages and ads so that Facebook loads much quicker.

Be warned: If you use Limewire, utorrent or any of the other P2P programs you will probably be coming back to the Malware Removal forum. If you must use P2P then submit any files you get to http://virustotal.combefore you open them.

Due to a recent rise in the number of Crytolocker infections I am now recommending you install:

CryptoPrevent

http://www.foolishIT.../cryptoprevent/

The free version does not update on its own so you should check for updated versions once in a while. When you install it the default is NONE which is kind of worthless so change it to Standard or default. If you have problems after installing CryptoPrevent you can just uninstall it.

If you have a router, log on to it today and change the default password! If using a Wireless router you really should be using encryption on the link. Use the strongest (newest) encryption method that your router and PC wireless adapter support especially if you own a business. See http://www.king5.com...0637284.htmland http://www.seattlepi...ted-1344185.php for why encryption is important. If you don't know how, visit the router maker's website. They all have detailed step by step instructions or a wizard you can download.

Special note on Java. Old Java versions should be removed after first clearing the Java Cache by following the instructions in:

http://www.java.com/...lugin_cache.xml

Then remove the old versions by going to Control Panel, Programs and Features and Uninstall all Java programs which are not Java Version 7 update 25 or better. These may call themselves: Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM, VM, J2RE, J2SE. Get the latest version from Java.com. They will usually attempt to foist some garbage like the Ask toolbar, Yahoo toolbar or McAfee Security Scan on you as part of the download. Just uncheck the garbage before the download (or install) starts. If you use a 64-bit browser and want the 64-bit version of Java you need to use it to visit java.com.

Due to multiple security problems with Java we are now recommending that it not be installed unless you absolutely know you need it. IF that is the case then go to Control Panel, Java, Security and slide it up to the highest level. OK.
