Thanx in advance

Let's try this:


Please download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Ewido trojan scanner: www.ewido.net/en/download/

1. When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".

2. When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.

3. From the main ewido screen, click on UPDATE in the left menu, then click the Start update button.

4. After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful"), click on the Scanner button in the left menu, then click on the Start button. This scan can take quite a while to run.


5. If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. You can select "clean" and check the boxes "Perform action with all infections" and "Create encrypted backup" before clicking on OK.


6. When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file. Please then paste the contents of the text file to this thread, along with a new HijackThis log.


Make sure you are set to normal startup. Click Start -> Run -> Type Msconfig -> Press Enter -> make sure Startup is set to Normal.

thanx for you reply

Hi,

Create a folder HJT such as C:\HJT or C:\Program Files\HJT. Copy or drag-and-drop the HijackThis program to the newly created folder. Then make or alter the shortcut to the HJT program.

Thank you.

Open Microsoft AntiSpyware. This can interfere with HJT fixes.
Click on Tools, Settings.
In the left pane, click on Real-time Protection.
Under Startup Options uncheck Enable the Microsoft AntiSpyware Security Agents on startup (recommended).
Under Real-time spyware threat protection uncheck Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended).
After you uncheck these, click on the Save button and close Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Right click on the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the taskbar and select Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware.
After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again.


Make sure you can see hidden files/folders
In Windows XP
Click Start.
Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab.
Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.
After you're cleaned, please "rehide" them again.

Scan with HJT again and put a check next to these items, making sure all browser windows are closed includeing this one so print this or create a new text document on desktop by right clicking an open area select new text document and save it to what ever you like. Now put a check next to these:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

Again make sure all browser windows are closed and click FIX


Now reboot into safe mode by tapping your F8 key upon restart and safe mode screen appears, select safe mode and press enter.


Open C:\Windows\Prefetch\ Delete ALL files in this folder.


Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE and hit enter.
When prompted select the C: drive and click ok.
Check the boxes for:
Temporary Internet Files
Downloaded Program Files
Recycle Bin
Temporary Files
Click OK or Enter

Make sure you are set to normal startup. Click Start -> Run -> Type Msconfig -> Press Enter -> make sure Startup is set to Normal Start


Then:

Lets see what some virus scans can uncover and we will go from there.

Get the stinger here:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Download it to another computer if need be, and bring it to the affected computer on floppy disk.

It will kill the top 53 virus files if any are found there

then,

Internet Explorer required
Run these two online virus scanners (Panda Activescan) following these instructions below:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/product..._principal.htm


Internet Explorer required
Also this excellent(BitDefender) scanner:http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

Both scanners will make a log of what is found please post both logs back here with a new HJT log please. Thanks

Done the stuff you requested
Had some probs with panda scan. Tried to do a full computer scan but the screen froze when it reached explorer.EXE after a very short time. So scanned local disks,my docs and e-mail.- nothing was found.

Hi,

Go here and try this scanner, actually two of them both from TrendMicro.

One is a virus scanner and one is a spyware scanner.

TrendMicro

If these two don't show anything it may be that you have a non-virus problem.

Have you downloaded/installed anything recently?

How much space is left on your computer, maybe running low.

hi Neal

I have run the scans from trend. It found 2 potential threats from the vulnerability check to do with office 2000. However when I clicked on the how to fix it- it didn't tell me how to. The copy of office that we have is installed from a copy- but has been running for quite a while now with no obvious problems - should we uninstall it? The scan found no virus's or worms.
We have not downloaded or insatalled anything recently.
We did do an avast scan though about 2 weeks ago and it came up showing that 20gb of memory were being held on the computer from an internet site. We unchecked the temporary internet files box and it seemed to disappear. Do you think this could have something to do with the slowness.
Currently we have total space 74.5 GB and free space 63.7GB

Sharon

Hi,

Your computer appears to be clean and your problem is possibly non-virus related so why don't you go over here to the XP forum and post your problem and let them have a look see.

XP HELP

Thanx for your help Neal- Since doing the trend scan yesterday which did remove a cookie- my computer seems to have speeded up to normal. I did n avast scan last night which found an infection from the panda software- the scan only took 53 mins which is a normal speed. So looks like i'm sorted now.
thanx again
Sharon
