Hello! Big big problem here…
For the last 5-6 days I used to connect with my antivirus off (expired license of the Kaspersky Personal Pro) and at my last effort, error 797 appeared in front of my terrified eyes…
I opened the device manager and it was totally…blank.
I used Lavasoft Ad-aware SE and it found the famous ISTbar. As expected, only removing it didn’t solve the problem.
I also ran XSoftspy, Privacy mantra and the Spyware Doctor. The last one came up with this: System Sleuth Keylogger and its .exe file in the following path: ...\Application Data\Microsoft\Installer.
I only managed to remove it when I restarted the pc in safe mode with command prompt.
I tried all the things you proposed at this site from the preparation point but the device manager window is still blank.
Below are my logs (Ewido and hijackthis).
Thank you in advance!!!

I realize you have some or all of these but just incase something has changed, I would like you to rerun them !!

Download and Install Ewido Security Suite© by Ewido Networks

If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.

Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!

[Linkmaster]

Is your Device Manager still blank ??

If so : I am assuming that you are downloading the apps and transferring them to your pc !!

Please download AproposFix© by Swandog46

Save it to your desktop but Do NOT run it yet.

Reboot to Safe mode
Restart your computer and immediately begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.
If done right a Windows Advanced Options menu will appear.
Select the Safe Mode option and press Enter.

Once in Safe Mode, please double-click aproposfix.exe and unzip it to the desktop.
Open the aproposfix folder on your desktop and run RunThis.bat
Follow the prompts.

When the tool is finished, please reboot back into Normal Mode, and post a fresh HijackThis log and the entire contents of the log.txt file in the aproposfix folder.

Thank you so much!!!!!

[Linkmaster]

How is your system running now ??
Can you get on the Internet now ??

Your log is CLEAN !!

Here are a few tools that I recommend for protecting your system and keeping your system clean !!

Real Time Prevention
SpywareBlaster© by Javacool Software

Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.
IESpyad© by EHowes : This will add several hundred Restricted Sites to the Restricted site zone in IE.

CCleaner© by CCleaner.com is a good app to clean out temp files, cookies, recent folder(win2000) and Prefetch folder(XP), etc

Spyware Scanners:
Ad-aware SE© by Lavasoft Scans your system for spyware and other threats
a² Scanner© by Emsi Software : Scans for Malware and Trojans on your system.

Good Free Antivirus Programs:
AVG© by Grisoft
Avast© by ALWIL Software
NOTE:Remember always have just 1 antivirus program running at a time. Having more than one running causes a conflict between the programs !! You can use one as a backup to run manually

Windows Update:
It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks
Windows Update

Firewalls:
If you have an "always on " internet connection, such as DSL or Cable, I recommend a Firewall.
A firewall will make your pc invisible to the outside world and will filter the outgoing and incoming traffic on your pc.
For a good idea of how vulnerable your system(s) are go to GRC
Scroll down to "Shields Up" Click on "Proceed" Then click on "Common Ports"to scan your ports.
Very good Firewalls :
ZoneAlarm Firewall© by Zone Labs
Kerio Personal Firewall© by Sunbelt

These next steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection
Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness.
Alternative Browsers:
FireFox© by Mozilla
Opera© by Opera Software ASA

Java Plug-in© Sun Microsystems. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

It's okay to delete the HijackThis folder if everything is working okay.

Always keep your Antivirus & Spyware Removal Tools current with the latest definitions and updates !!

Using these tools and keeping them updated will reduce the risk of future infections!!

Do you have any questions??

[petsik1]

Hi there!
yes, my system is running much better and I can connect on the internet, too.
Thank you for everything, I really appreciate it.
No more questions this time.
Just to tell you that I'm always using AD-Aware (this is the one that came up with ISTbar at first place) and Kaspersky as an antivirus and real time protection. It was a huge mistake that I got on the Internet with Kaspersky off...
Thank you again.

[Linkmaster]

Great !! I'm glad you are back running !!

You are very welcome!!
