Hi Turbo_Infidel and welcome to the Geeks to Go Forums.

My name is Trevuren and I will be helping you with your log.

I need to get you to move HijackThis to a folder of its own so that nothing gets deleted by mistake

1. Right click in an empty space on your desktop.

2. From the Menu, click New, then Folder and a folder will appear on your desktop.

3. Name the folder HJT

4. Copy/Paste your current version of HijackThis into the new Folder that was just created.

5. Now, run the program and post a fresh HJT log for review.

Regards,

Trevuren

Unfortunately, you don't appear to have placed HJT in your program Files as it appears to still be running from a Temporary Directory which is the worst place for it.


Please DELETE your current HJT program from its present location.

Download and run the following HijackThis autoinstall program from Here . Please choose the default location of C:\Program Files\ as the destination. HJT needs to be in its own folder so that the program itself isn't deleted by accident. Having the backups could be VITAL to restoring your system if something went wrong in the FIX process!

• Run HijackThis
  
• Click SCAN and SAVE LOG. (a notepad window will open with the log in it when you click Save Log) (Ctrl-A to'select all', Ctrl-C to 'copy')
  
• POST the log into this thread using 'Add Reply' (Ctrl-V to 'paste')

DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CLICK "FIX CHECKED" UNTIL WE CHECK THE LOG, AS MOST OF THE FILES ARE LEGIT AND VITAL TO THE FUNCTION OF YOUR COMPUTER


Regards,

Trevuren

[Turbo_Infidel]

here we go...I hope i did this correctly..deleted previously installed HJT and followed your instructions as best as i could...

1. I do not require details of your desktop in your replies.

2. Your log is essentially clean. We will now look elsewhere for the trouble:

3. I need you to download MWav to a convenient location.

This scan might take around 3+ hours to finish when set to scan everything.
I need you to run MWav by double-clicking on mwav.exe. This scan only produces a report, it doesn't clean your system. I will analyze the report and recommend a course of action depending on the results.

Put a check next to the below items before scanning:

• Memory
• Startup Folders
• Drive - All Local Drives
• Folder - then click "browse" to change the directory to C: (default is C:\Windows)
• Registry
• System Folders
• Services
• Include Sub-Directory
• Scan All Files

Please make sure ALL of these are checked, then press the Scan button. This typically will take hours to complete.

**NOTE*** Sometimes MWav will pause and it appears to be finished, but it isn't done. Just let it run until it says it's complete.

On the bottom portion of the window, you will see the lower panel where MWav is listing "infected items", please highlight everything in that lower panel and copy them by holding CTRL + C then paste it here. The whole log will be extremely BIG so there is no way to post the log. I just need the infected items list.

Regards,

Trevuren

I think you have forgotten the most important part:

Post the contents of the smitfiles.txt log into this thread along with a fresh HJT log.

I ran smitrem 3 times and it did not produce a log.. so I re-loaded it from the link you provided and ran it again and left it alone for a hour, nothing, I did see it cleaning up the C drive, which took like 5 min's ,but no log..Im not shur what I did wrong...

again it ran for like 10 min's never confirmed it was done, and produced no log...what am I doing wrong?

Edited by Turbo_Infidel, 22 February 2006 - 06:08 PM.

Please don't be offended by this but did you look for it in the Smitrem Folder? I am asking this because many users look for it on their desktop, out in the open.
