Hi Loophole

I have been connected to internet for about 10 mins and so far no pop ups :)

Thanks for your help.

What should I do to prevent this happening again. Your advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello

Malware is everchanging. I will give you some preventative measures. Malware is getting so bad now we have to make sure people have the recovery console installed. Its the only way to clear some of the nasty new malware thats out. It also is another option incase the operating system fails, a fall back if you will.

Go to Microsoft's website => http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994
Select the download that's appropriate for your Operating System.

Download the file & save it as it's originally named, next to ComboFix.exe.

Now close all open windows and programs, then drag the setup package onto ComboFix.exe and drop it. Follow the prompts to start ComboFix and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Recovery Console. When complete, a log named CF_RC.txt will open. Please post the contents of that log.

Please do not reboot your machine until we have reviewed the log.

Hi Loophole

Here is the log you asked me to do.


winxpsp1_en_hom_bf.exe
[boot loader]
timeout=2
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons


I will not turn computer off until you get back to me. By the way computer is running fine, no popups or strange things happening. Thank you very much.

That is perfect :)

As far as preventative things. The apps you are using are respected and well known.

I'm not a huge mcafee fan but its because its a big program that uses alot of resources, Not because it doesnt work. The virus you had is very common. I would guess 80% of the logs we get right now are this trojan. AV vendors have had a tough time with this one since it came out.

Please rescan with Hijackthis and place a check next to the following entries:

O2 - BHO: Google Module - {28C703D0-B4A9-4b2f-9123-CE8294761861} - halifax2.dll (file missing)

Now click "Fix Checked" and close Hijackthis

To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein ->Here

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Hi Loophole

I have done what you have said. Everything seems to be ok now, many many thanks. :)

My McAfee subscription has expired. I was thinking about putting another programme on but not sure which one (was thinking about Norton 360). Is it possible to have the same level of security as, lets say, McAfee, with the free downloads that are available. I have had a look at the article that you have given me a link for and will download the list of Must have software.

Many thanks for your help it is very much appreciated.

I wouldnt download spybot and Adaware , but the rest are fine. You can get good protection from the free programs, the only difference is you have to update them manually. I would shy away from norton for the same reason I dont like Mcafee. NOD32 is considered the best by most of us. Theres a free 30 day trial and its not expensive compared to most pay anti virus programs Plus it wont hog resources like Mcafee and Norton. Let me know what you think if you try it
