Hi, the reason i am posting this log (Im not sure if this is relevant to you but anyway..) is because when i download (some) files (video) and then go to the folder i saved the file in from the internet a message about windows having a problem appears, it freezes my computer, closes the folder window and then my computer runs like normal again. When i try to run said video file a message once come up with the title DrWatson Postmortem Debugger. However this is not always the case and sometimes the message is that realplayer just cant run the file and then closes the program. This is the only time i have a problem with my computer, when i try to run the file or go into the problem folder (which contains the file). Other video files i have downloaded work fine, it seems random and was wondering if this problem can be fixed or if i will never beable to view these video files. I have run spybot and this is the log i have got from then running hijack this:

Welcome to DAL,

Please create a folder C:\HJT or C:\Programe files\HJT and move your hijackthis into the newly created folder so available backups are there if needed. Thanks


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 this online virus scanner (Panda Activescan) following these instructions below:

http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm


Panda will make a log of what it finds if anything please post that log back here. thanks

Hi. I did the stinger and then i did the panda one. It is quite a big log im afraid, so i have uploaded it here:

http://uk.geocities.com/arsenalfootb...Activescan.txt

Sorry its so big and i have done it this way but i would have had to have done numerous posts and thought this would be the easiest way to view the report. Hope this helps and thanks for taking an interest in my problem.

Too long.

Too long

The page will not open says no data. Just post it as an attachment. Thanks

Sorry about that, I didnt notice that you could put up attachments. I have made a right pigs ears out of this thread.

I have attached the two files now.

Your doing fine. Let's clean some junk off your computer right now. I am going to have you download and hopefully install CCleaner and Ewido Trojan scanner, if you can't do it then we will have to do it the long hard way by manually deleteing stuff.



Download CCleaner from here:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.html
or here:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner.html

don't run the tool just yet please.
Install it. The windows tab should be opened in the upper left of the program. Click analyze and then click run cleaner. Just use the windows tab that is up front by default.

1.Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".

2.If you are running Firefox: ,then click on the "Applications" tab and uncheck "Cookies" under "Firefox".


Please download, install, and update the NEW free version of Ewido trojan scanner:
[*]When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
[*]When you run ewido for the first time, you may get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
[*]From the main ewido screen, click on update in the left menu, then click the Start update button.
[*]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 Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while to run.
[*]If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. We have been finding some cases of false positives with the new version of Ewido, so we need to step through the fixes one-by-one. If Ewido finds something that you KNOW is legitimate (for example, parts of AVG Antivirus, pcAnywhere and the game "Risk" have been flagged), select "none" as the action. DO NOT check "Perform action with all infections". If you are unsure of an entry, select "none" for the time being. I'll see that in the log you will post later and let you know if ewido needs to be run again.
[*]When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file. Make sure you know where to find this file again.


Run both tools from safe mode explained below:

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

Run CCleaner useing the windows tab only please.

After that Doa full system scan with Ewido and stay with it and remove what is found if you don't recognize it.

Post the ewido log by clicking on save report and post it back here


You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download AproposFix from here:
http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe

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

Then please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


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 new HijackThis log, along with the entire contents of the log.txt file in the aproposfix folder.


After that and from safe mode hunt for and delete if present:


C:\WINDOWS\GatorHDPlugin.log < file
C:\WINDOWS\smdat32a.sys < file
C:\WINDOWS\toolbar_nieuw13.dll < file
C:\Program Files\Myway < folder
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Altnet < folder
C:\WINDOWS\browserxtras < folder
C:\WINDOWS\mshp.dll < file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\EGCOMLIB_1035.dll < file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\redirect.vbs < file


I need Ewido log if possible
I need Aproposfix log
I need new hijackthis log

Hi, i have followed your instruction although a few problems arose. On my computer there are 5 folders/desktops (sorry dont know the computer jargon for this). When i was in safe mode my folder did not appear, i therefore ran both tools from my sisters folder. I noticed as i ran the Ewido program it did not scan through my folder (it was absent when doing full computer scan). It did do everyone elses. I also noticed, i think i made some kind of mistake and Im worried i have screwed up, that when i went back into my sisters folder in normal mode that a pop-up thing appeared! It said: error loading EGCOMLIB_1035.dll However when i went into my folder i recieved no such pop-up. Im sorry about this i do think i followed your instruction well but i must have deleted a file i shouldnt have when i was doing that Ewido program.

Right i am now going off to hunt and delete those files and folders you listed.

(The scan report is the Ewido log.)

Again thanks for your help in this.
