Now I'm working on my sister's computer.....She has dsl and the connection is very slow, especially when she uses aol :tazz: . So far I've run adaware, spybot, avast, cwshredder, stinger, cleanup40 and online scans by ewido (that fixed some problems), and by panda that found 10 infections, but wouldn't fix them. I had very good luck last time I posted here....I'd appreciate any help offered. Here are the ewido, panda and hijack this scans..

Hello again, and thanks again...first off, I couldn't find these:

C:\Documents and Settings\Belters\Local Settings\Temp\iinstall.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\installer_MARKETING14.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\liqp7c25q.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\__delete_on_reboot__opls.dll
C:\WINDOWS\umqltg4cl.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\YSBactivex.dll
C:\Program Files\NetRatingsNetmeter
C:\Program Files\Funcade
Weatherbug
Funcade


I think I got rid of them along the way.

I did a scan with elido, but it found nothing. I actually did 3, and it found nothing after the first one..

Incident Status Location

Spyware:Spyware/Dyfuca No disinfected Windows Registry
Adware:Adware/CWS No disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Belters\Favorites\Going Places
Adware:Adware/SideFind No disinfected Windows Registry
I found the going places folder and deleted it... I haven't had any luck so far finding registry references to sidefind or dyfuca...I haven't spent a lot of time on it yet. To tell you the truth, I'm hoping there is a software solution to cleaning up the registry, instead of doing it manually. Thanks...

Hi Thinger62,


CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!! Your PC is clean :tazz:



I would recommend the following steps to keep your PC clean (especially Step 8 now that your PC is clean) –

PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR FUTURE

Operating System
1. Keep the Windows and Internet Explorer updated with the latest fixes. These fixes are available free from Microsoft. Click on Tools in the IE menu bar and then on Windows update. You can also the following links

Windows security and critical updates
Internet Explorer security and critical updates

Also ensure that automatic updates are enabled for faster updation of the system.
(Right click on My Computer on your desktop, properties and Automatic Updates tab.


Anti-Virus Software
2. Keep your Anti-virus program updated with the latest definitions. Some of the common anti-virus programs in use are :

Norton Anti-Virus
McAfee Anti-Virus
AVG Anti-Virus --- freeware
Avast Home Edition --- freeware

Use only one anti-virus program as multiple such programs can create conflicts between themselves and severely hamper the performance of your PC.


Firewall
3. You should also have a good firewall. Here are 3 free ones available for personal use:
Sygate Personal Firewall, Kerio Personal Firewall, ZoneAlarm


Internet Browsers
4. Have robust explorer settings. It is preferable to use an internet browser other that IE as most of the malware is targetted at IE. In case you prefer to use IE, then download a list of innocent looking but harmful websites from IE-Spyad and install it on ur PC. IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your internet explorer's restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't really innocent at all.

Some alternate browsers I suggest are Firefox Mozilla Browser and Opera

Ensure that Security level, irrespective of whichever browser you use, is set at Medium or higher, restrict the usage of cookies and activeX components.


Spyware Protection
5. Have a wall of protection against spyware / adware by installing SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard.

SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard are by JavaCool and both are free programs.
SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed and consumes no system resources.
SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation and browser hijack attempts. Both have free ongoing updates.


Spyware Removers
6. Install programs for scanning for malware and uninstalling them. Two of the best programs, both are freeware, are :

Spybot Search & Destroy - A powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.

AdAware SE Personal Edition - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.


Regular Maintenance of PC
7. Finally, invest some time for regular maintenance of your PC. Delete the temporary Internet files, temporary files, cookies etc. Click on Start button, Programs, Accessories, System Tools and run the program Disk Cleanup. Follow the instructions.

An alternate freeware software which can be used is CleanUp.

Keep your Registry clean. My favourite software is Registry First Aid. This is not a freeware but a trial version can be downloaded.


System Restore Points
8. Since your PC is currently clean, create a system restore point. A system restore would enable you to revert to the settings on the PC when the restore point was created. It is also a good idea to flush all earlier system restore points which may be containing infected files.

A. 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.

B. Restart your computer.

C. 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.

System Restore will now be active again.


Go ahead and enjoy a clean PC !!!!!!!!!!!!!
