Hi guys,
I've got a problem thats confused me a lot. Hopefully someone can help me because im going mental.

I've used SpyBot Search and Destroy 1.4 and the same viruses turn up despite me hem already cleaning them out. They are DoubleClick, FastClick and WebTrends live. I looked it up (correct me if im mistaken) and found them to be of the I-Worm/MyDoom.B worm/virus.

I've also gone through the forum's archive looking for a solution. There were some minor fixes that never really fixed. Instead, despite the 3 above mentioned in Spybot, I noticed it scanning some files such as DyFuCa, Aurora, WinFixer (they were mentioned fixes in the forum but they did NOT SHOW UP so i didnt know what to do.) and the running bot-check showed it scanning CoolWWWSearch.Feat2DLL, CoolWWWSearch.HomeSearch, CoolWWWSearch.Service and many others!

The autofixes I've done so far was run trojanhunter, scans with adaware, AVG, Spybot, trend-micro and ran a couple f-mydoom tools from microsoft, mcafee etc, CWShredder, CleanUP, Trend House Call, Windows Update. I desperately need help after sitting here going nonstop for 8 and a half hours looking for a cure. Here's my HijackThis log. I'm sorry if i've missed any steps, it's been hours on end.
Also, my mouse keeps behaving like it has it's own mind, together with my IBM thinkpad's trackpoint cursors, does this have anything to do with the viruses? thanks in advance guys!

Hi raerae, welcome to GeeksToGo

I've used SpyBot Search and Destroy 1.4 and the same viruses turn up despite me hem already cleaning them out. They are DoubleClick, FastClick and WebTrends live. I looked it up (correct me if im mistaken) and found them to be of the I-Worm/MyDoom.B worm/virus.

Doubleclick, Fastclick and Webtrends and just spyware cookies that get installed just by visiting certain web pages. Spybot will detect and remove them, but next time you visit the same site they will be installed again over and over.

There is a program, Spywareblaster, which will prevent such cookies from being installed on your computer. Just download and install that program, and enable all protection. It also supports Firefox. Also install another program from the same developers, Spywareguard. Those two programs complement eachother very well.

Spywareblaster and Spywareguard

Instead, despite the 3 above mentioned in Spybot, I noticed it scanning some files such as DyFuCa, Aurora, WinFixer

You noticed them on the lower taskber of Spybot while it was scanning next to the scan progress? Spybot was just looking for those, it displays the current files it's looking for there during the scan and they keep on changing very quickly. Nothing to worry about.

Now, your log. It looks clean except for this one riskware item:

O23 - Service: PLSRemote Service (PLSRemoteSvc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\PLSRemote.exe

RISKWARE! or potentially unwanted application. This application may have been installed by your system administrator or computer manufacturer for providing support for your machine. However this application has been used by several trojan authors and included in other trojans for malicious purposes. It allows remote access to your computer. If you're not using it, do this:

Go to Start > Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok
Scroll down and find the below services:

PLSRemote Service (PLSRemoteSvc)

When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, under the General tab click the Stop button, then click the drop-down box to change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok.

As for your mouse, I'd say check the Device Manager to see if there is any problem with the device. To find the device manager,

Right click on MY Computer and choose Properties. Under the Hardware Tab you will see the device manager. See if there are any warnings there such as an exclamation mark in a yellow circle. You can double click on an entry and then try to troubleshoot from there.

Regards,

Armodeluxe

i am currently running mcafee's antivirus, will those two programs work with it as well?

ALSO, thanks for responding as well and your patience it's greatly appreciated, ive been swimming in viruses all weekend lol.

[Armodeluxe]

Mcafee??

You're running in fact two Antiviruses, Trend Micro and AVG and that's not advisable as it can cause conflicts. You should disable the active protection of one of them and use it for only scanning.

Spywareguard and Spywareblaster don't interfere with any antivirus, they have different functions.

[raerae]

ive actually deleted trend micro already i dunno why it still shows up, could you please assist?

and say i wanna retain continue using mcafee, which ones should i delete? tho the question goes back to ive already deleted trendM dunno why it still shows

[Armodeluxe]

Well this is showing in your running processes:

C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Internet Security 2005\pccguide.exe

Are you using just the firewall and not the antivirus? Then that's ok..

Also for antivirus AVG is showing in your log and there is no instances of Mcafee..

See, for example these lines are just a couple of AVG instances:

O23 - Service: AVG7 Alert Manager Server (Avg7Alrt) - GRISOFT, s.r.o. - C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgamsvr.exe
O23 - Service: AVG7 Update Service (Avg7UpdSvc) - GRISOFT, s.r.o. - C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgupsvc.exe

I think you confused AVG for Mcafee?

[raerae]

ive deleted AVG so this is my new hijack this log, does it show that things are in order? thanks for your patience

[Armodeluxe]

Looks good except for this one:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ashMaiSv] C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\ashmaisv.exe

This entry belongs to Avast Antivirus..did you install that too along with Mcafee?

I told you before, if you want to maintain more than one antivirus, one of them should stay disabled and be used for occasional scanning only...

[raerae]

i had avast before but its been deleted a long time ago. like i deleted it before i installed mcafee.
what can be done?

[Armodeluxe]

Just fix that line in HijackThis:

Open HijackThis and click Scan. Put a check next to this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ashMaiSv] C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\ashmaisv.exe

Close all other windows except HijackThis and click Fix Checked.

Then delete this folder:

C:\Program Files\AlwilSoftware

That's all...

[raerae]

i did all that :DDDDD

this is the final log, all good?

oh and thank you SO much for your patience. you've been real helpful.

Yep you're good to go..

Since you already installed Spywareblaster and Spywareguard, the only item from my below custom prevention speech to install is IESpyad if your Mcafee includes a firewall.

Please take the following into consideration to maintain a clean computer.

Now you should go get a firewall. Don't rely on the Windows firewall as it monitors only incoming traffic. Pick one of these, they are all free.
Kerio
Zonealarm
Sygate


Visit Windows Update regularly to get the latest security updates.You can also enable automatic updates.Your antivirus software and antispyware programs should also be updated regularly. Make a habit of running scans on a timely basis. Be careful about what you download, scan every file before clicking on it.

Additional programs to consider:

Spywareblaster Prevents the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.Blocks spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.Restricts the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.
Spywareguard An anti-virus program scans files before you open them and prevents execution if a virus is detected - SpywareGuard does the same thing, but for spyware!
IE/Spyad
Adds a list of malicious sites to your Restricted Sites Zone.
Firefox An alternate browser safer than IE

A good article to read:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
