Thatman has been helping me - this is his specialty.

He said

the firewall setting my be the problem. You will need to contact your ISP and ask what you will need to allow traffic in and out from your  firewall. Your firewall my also be blocking his 127.0.01 loopback


I hope that helps. :tazz:

Good Afternoon,

The hits are coming in and out.

It's true that I have my firewall set pretty tight. Nothing gets in or out without my say so. If I don't recognize it or can't ID it as OK through a google search, it gets a resounding NO! That's why I know about this stuff coming in and out constantly and why I'm so puzzled by it. ;)

OK, I will try calling my ISP. As if. The customer service reps they have can barely speak English. I believe they have have outsourced to Puerto Rico. It's a struggle just to get my point across to them. :) Speak v e r y s l o w l y and ENUNCIATE. :tazz: sigh...

Good Evening,

Well, of all the sillines! :tazz: The 192...# is my modem's local # w/SBC and they don't care whether my firewall blocks it or not. I'd like to figure out how to get it to stop but not enough to dicker with someone I can barely hear or understand. I'll futz around with it on my own. It's enough of a relief that I don't have to worry about it. whew... ;)

Thanks so much for your help!

Hello,

More in the ongoing saga... please see
my first post

Last night I realized I had no sound so I went poking around in my control panel to find out what was up and discovered that not only did I NOT have any sound devices listed, I had no keyboard, no mouse, and no network connection. Furthermore my device manager list was not populated and my hardware add function was not working.

Somewhere in the midst of making all of these discoveries, my AVG came on-board and alerted me to a trojan which I quarantined and removed. I then ran a Panda scan and found two other files one of which were identified as the AOK trojan and the other as suspicious.

I disinfected the AOK and had a look at the suspicious one but I can't decide if it's OK or not. I had Trojan Hunter scan it and it seems to think it's ok so I'm presuming it is since it's supposed to be a TH file. However, today I had four more trojan files pop up in AVG scans which I've cleaned out.

I tried a system restore earlier this morning but could only go back to the point I discovered this mess so that was of no help at all. I've rebooted several times, BTW, so there must be something somewhere. My CD-Rom is still reading CDs; none of my media players are working properly but they are trying to. So, is there anything I can do here besides reload windows once again? (Why does that make me want to whine? ;) )

Oh, and I think I finally tracked down the source of my infections. Maybe... Something I read last night made me go hmmmm.... I finally googled the other IP# that was asking for all the first *outgoing* packets of information earlier this morning and discovered they *weren't* going to my bigserver ISP as I had assumed from the whois but are apparently going *through* a proxy server. sheesh... :tazz: I've firewalled that IP# off and nothing else has popped up since.

I've done everything recommended in your pre-HJT log but the Ewido scan. Unfortunately, my trial period for that has run out.

Processviewer.exe is a part of TrojanHunter. Panda recognizes a part of it and warns you. You can leave that.

'Evening Coach,

Thanks so much for taking up the cause again. Glad to hear that my assumptions about that suspicious file were correct.

Thanks,

Thanks,

I did some more research and a little experimenting. That IP addy I mentioned (which on closer inspection actually seems to be a site set up explicitly for hackers)seems to be connected to my yahoo browser functions somehow. Whenever the browser sends out a ping or echo request that addy and maybe others disguised as yahoo follow close behind. So I dis-installed all the yahoo browser stuff and suddenly my firewall quits flashing red. Wheee! :tazz:

Good evening,

The IP address is 66.218.73.254 and the URL it took me to is:
MY-PROXY.COM. Interesting place.

It attempts to send outgoing ICMP protocols, application C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe from local port 0 every 60 seconds or so if I deny the first one.

edited to add: BTW, when I uninstalled the yahoo browser stuff I got an ICMP request to send out a rundll.exe file to an unknown IP#. I don't know if that has any significance or not but from what I'm reading from my googling I figured it was worth throwing into the mix. Just to spice things up a bit. :tazz:


Thanks,
B

I am going to have thatman take a look at this and respond to you. This is his specialty. I will be following his progress. :tazz:

BTW: 66.218.73.254 is registered to yahoo.

Afternoon Coach,

The battle continues. Today we have Trojan-dropper.win32.paradrop.a playing with igfxtray.exe files. It was discovered by Windows Security. (I'm having them do a scan twice a day)

Unfortunately, they won't remove it without some cash. I'm trying to get someone else to recognize this bugger and zap it but no luck so far. I'd have a go at it myself but I'm a bit afraid I'd muck up something important. :tazz:

It's beyond me how this stuff gets in past my firewall. I just don't get it... ;)

Thanks for your help,

B
