Re: major spyware problem
Run Killbox over the following file (check if it still exists first - locate the full path location, e.g.: c:\windows\system32\):
repairs303169590.dll
Do any of the following files still exist on your system? Two of the items have absolutely no Google matches (probably bogus files):
c:\windows\system32\arpa.dll
taskmgr.dll ------------> possible trojan (locate a full path location)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.dll
Submit any of the above files, if found, as follows:
Check out the following unfamiliar files or potential malware FILE PATH variations:
HIDDEN FILES: To make sure you can see any and all hidden files, please follow the directions here
- If not apparent, determine the FULL FILE PATH for each (unfamiliar) file item listed BELOW.
Use Start (BUTTON)>Search or use the F3 key. - Please copy and PASTE each FULL FILE PATH into the 'Select File' input box
OR
navigate to the file using the BROWSE button. Submit each FULL PATH file item to one of the site(s) below to obtain their immediate FEEDBACK assessment on each item:
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html (10MB file size maximum)
Let us know what the results were for the file(s) and/or delete those files you determine to be bad (at least two [2] or more negative site responses).
ALTERNATE SITE: http://virusscan.jotti.org/ (15MB file size maximum)
Submit a new Hijackthis LOG later tomorrow in case something changes.
