Yep, you picked up some new infections. This is why you need Service Pack 2 because your system will continue to get infected...

I'll be back asap

[auspiciousmind]

Yea, and i was thinking about downloading SP2, but since my system is dirty right now, i think ill wait till its safe again. JW, where in the internet do i get this stuff from?

[Michelle]

All over the place. You can pick up infections just from being on the Internet if your system is not fully patched and protected.

[auspiciousmind]

boo, i hate malware. I am for sure going to get SP2, anything else that will help?

[Michelle]

Are you still having program connectivity problems? I really need Ewido to be run

Yes, I will give you the list of protection programs after your system is clean again

[auspiciousmind]

actually no, no connectivity problems, but now that you do bring that up, this is my other PC, the other one was the laptop. Sorry if i did not mention that earlier, it slipped my mind.

[Michelle]

Ah ok, good! In that case, this is what I need you to do:

First, download, install, and run CleanUp! (so the scan won't take as long because cleanup will clear temporary files) *NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temp/temporary folders. If you have anything in a temp folder, backup it up or move it to a permanent folder prior to running Cleanup!

Please download Ewido Security Suite

• Install ewido security suite
• Launch ewido, there should be a big E icon on your desktop, double-click it.
• The program will prompt you to update click the OK button
• The program will now go to the main screen

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.

• On the left hand side of the main screen click update
• Click on Start

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.

Once the updates are installed do the following:

• Reboot into Safe Mode, you can do this by restarting your computer, then contiunally tapping F8 until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode, then hit enter. Then, run Ewido.
• Click on scanner
• Make sure the following boxes are checked before scanning:
  • Binder
  • Crypter
  • Archives
• Click on Start Scan
• Let the program scan the machine

While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean the first infected file it finds. Choose "clean", then put a check next to "Perform action on all infections" in the left corner of the box so you don't have to sit and watch Ewido the whole time. Click OK.

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report

• Click Save report
• Save the report to your desktop

Reboot into normal mode.

Then, please run this online virus scan:
ActiveScan

Save the results from ActiveScan.

I need you to post the log from Ewido, the log from ActiveScan and a new HiJackThis log.

[auspiciousmind]

i cant download CleanUP, the account has been suspended, do you have another link?

[Michelle]

Ah, sorry about that - I meant to change that

Ok let me grab it real quick

brb!

[Michelle]

Here is the new link:

Cleanup!

[auspiciousmind]

one thing that i noticed is that my anti-virus was poping this thing:
A0013803.EXE
A0016040.EXE

it say that they are infected...

oh, and IE still lags and freezes up on me.

Edited by auspiciousmind, 28 June 2005 - 01:07 AM.

[Michelle]

Well those files are sure hiding good if Ewido and ActiveScan both didn't find them...

So let's run this scan (will take a little while to run!)

Kaspersky Web Scanner

It's run by an ActiveX control - just fill in the info, then follow the instructions on the screen. This scan may take a while to run. At the end of the scan, it will list the infected files, please post that log here for me and disinfect the files it finds.
