    Post your latest HijackThis log for a final review, if you want.

    Do you now feel that you now have a clean PC. That means no more AV alerts. Do you still use Outlook Express? Malware was found in the 'Deleted Items' FOLDER by two (2) tools - wouldn't hurt to check again. I can suggest several more scanning tools if you are still unsure of your PC's state of health. Or you can re-run all tools currently in use.





    To help avoid serious infection again, please look carefully at this post for some excellent preventative measures. Prevention must be made the first line of defense to improve upon.



    ONLY ONCE you are as clean as possible from any needed cleanup steps - As a final cleanup step (after serious infection), it may be advisable to Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove any bad files that MAY have been backed up by Windows . The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing them. And, this is the only complete way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which could likely be infected, anyway.)

    PLEASE NOTE: you will need to log into your computer with an account that has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account. Accordingly and of further note; it can be very unsafe to run with admin rights on any PC that you browse the Internet with.


    (Windows XP)
    FOLDER LOCATION: c:\System Volume Information\_restore….
    To Turn OFF System Restore.
    1. Click the Start button.
    2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
    3. On the System Restore tab, check Turn off System Restore or Turn off System Restore on all drives.
    4. Click Apply.

    REBOOT.

    To Turn ON System Restore.
    1. Follow the steps in the previous section, but in step 3, uncheck Turn off System Restore or Turn off System Restore on all drives. Then click OK.
    2. Create new System Restore points.


    (Windows ME)
    FOLDER LOCATION: c:\_RESTORE\TEMP\….
    See the following link for instructions:
    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...rc=sec_doc_nam




    To reduce the re-infection potential for malware and protect your PC against spyware, here are a few helpful suggestions:
    1. Keep Windows and Internet Explorer current with the latest critical security updates from Microsoft . This will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer . You CANNOT complete this update using an alternate browser – you must use Internet Explorer.
      http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5co...t.aspx?ln=en-us
      http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp
      • http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11273
        If you surf to questionable (blockable) parts of the Web, you could encounter sites that compromise your PC without any user interaction. In experiments [reported Aug 2005], Microsoft identified 752 specific addresses owned by 287 Web sites that contain programs able to install themselves on a completely unpatched Windows XP system. Also, be aware that the WinXP Service Pack 2 was an update that focused almost exclusively on security. Also reported was that a fully patched Windows XP SP2 system cannot be compromised by any such discovered rogue Web sites.

    2. Run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep its definitions up-to-date. If you are thinking about switching (using a real-time AV tool only one at a time), there are some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!.
      AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
      Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    3. In addition to using Ad-aware, consider using another free malware scanning/removal program :
      Adaware SE: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Person...ubj=dl&tag=top5
      Spybot S&D: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Dest...tml?tag=lst-0-1
      Microsoft Windows Defender beta 2 : http://www.download.com/Microsoft-Wi...ml?tag=lst-0-1

    4. Consider using a free firewall if you are not already using one (use only one firewall at a time – normally you will need to disable the MS firewall). Some good free ones (for incoming and added outgoing traffic protection) are:
      Kerio Personal Firewall: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm
      *** After 30 days, Kerio shuts down selected features, but will continue to run in 'free' mode.
      Zone Alarm: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/comparison.jsp?lid=ho_za

      It is not a bad idea to also consider using a Router/Hardware firewall device where you have a High-Speed Internet access connection. A software firewall may occasionally need to be disabled or it gets/remains disabled by someone or something. Such an added layer of security consistency has a lot of merit to it.

    5. Consider using an alternate free browser for general web surfing but you must use IE for windows updates. The use of Firefox (or similar alternate) mitigates the many types of malware that are now possible when using IE ActiveX based components.
      Mozilla Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

    6. Consider increasing your browser security by using these programs:
      SpywareGuard will help protect your homepage from being hijacked: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
      SpywareBlaster will increase browser protection by blocking access to thousands of known malware sites by adding them to IE's restricted sites zone. It essentially blocks known- bad ActiveX program items from being installed or running on your computer. Download it here: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
    7. A HOSTS file can block Internet access to thousands of known-bad sites by not allowing you any easy browser access to such sites knowingly or unknowingly. Use HJT to determine if a current HOSTS file exists and any contents therein:
      • Run the HiJackThis tool and select ‘Open the Misc Tools section’.
      • Next select ‘Open host file manager’ button.
      • Use the ‘Open in Notepad’ button in XP/W2K or use WORDPAD if necessary [type wordpad.exe in the RUN box (Start>Run)] and load the FILE PATH identified in HJT.
      • Go to http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt . # Read the initial instructions #. Copy and paste (append or replace) the RELEVANT host address entry contents of that file into Notepad or Wordpad and save the updated file contents.

    *Remember just like your primary anti-virus software, it is important to:
    • Keep all of these programs up-to-date (using auto-updates where possible), and
    • Use them on a regular (minimum weekly) basis.




    REALITY CHECK:
    • Who else uses your PC? What are the potential risks created by multiple (potentially loose cannon) users and why?
    • What about bad luck, simple mistakes, and bad browsing choices (SEE: www.siteadvisor.com and their BLOG)?
    • SEE: The Dangers of Popularity (for Popular SEARCH TERMS):
      http://blog.siteadvisor.com/2006/08/...pularity.shtml
      The correlation of search term popularity and search term riskiness illustrates how malicious activity tends to follow and exploit consumer behavior. Users demand "free," and bad actors flock to fill corresponding search results with their deceptive offerings. All too often, users don't realize the detrimental consequences of these sites until their systems crash from spyware or their inboxes become choked with spam.


    ABOVE ALL, it is most imperative that users exercise "safe surfing" habits such as banning or at least verifying email attachments (with scanning tools) before opening, and by not executing programs unless obtained from a trusted (or researched) source, etc.



    In general, always research any unfamiliar links or products that you might want to access or download. In particular, the SiteAdvisor site and other links listed in my signature have continued to make a significant difference to my clients’ PC health due to better-informed browsing habits and choices. Peer-to-Peer and FREE download sites add a level of risk that many should seriously take into account and adjust their behavior accordingly.

    Additionally, TEMPORARY files are both a significant source of clutter and potential hiding places for MALWARE content. Clean out those areas periodically - at least weekly.

    Ok, I thought everything was clean because my AVG Antivirus has had clean tests for the last 7 days straight.

    I reset the sytem restore as instructed and tried again last night to do the XP SP2 install. Same thing it hung about half way through installing the new files giving me an error "Access denied". Luckily the uninstall went smoothly and everything seems to be operating normally.

    I really don't understand what is going on. The system seems to be stable but the XP SP2 install just refuses to cooperate.

    Anyway, Here is my latest Highjack This logfile.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    However and in addition, it may be necessary to order a 'Windows XP SP2' cd or, better still, have a local vendor do the update (they would have such disks):

    After using my computer a few more days it is edident I still have viruses. I did look back over the emails and I realized that when you said to clean out the deleted files section of Outlook Express you meant to follow the path you listed in the email. I did this and deletd several files I did not think belonged there. There were some files that had names I did recognioze as Outlook folder names so I left them there. I can delete these also if you think that is a good idea since I am using Outlook 2000 instead of Outlook Express. I also rescanned the computer with BitDefender and Kapersky. Both detected viruses in the Recycler folder. I tried to delete one of the files there but it told be it was being used by an open process. Since I was unsure what the file was used for I left it alone.

    Anyway, I have posted the results of my latest scans below.

    Please let me know what I need to do to eradicate the latest set of viruses.

    Thanks again for all of your help.

    There were some files that had names I did recognioze as Outlook folder names so I left them there.

    Delete the Recycle Bin items in SAFE MODE.

    You do not want to be deleting FILES. Your best option is to run Outlook or Outlook Express (OE) and clean out the individual emails in question. Certainly, ensure that the 'Deleted Items' FOLDER in those applications is cleaned out. If you no longer use OE I would ensure that all email items are removed (just in case).


    In some cases (continued email unreliability), you might have make a BACKUP of all 'Outlook' *.PST FILES and to get familiar with exporting selected test Outlook emails (delete test items and then re-import them). Then it is time to consider exporting all known good emails to a holding file and then creating a completely new and clean Outlook profile to re-import your emails:

    I just wanted to let you know that I finally have a virus/malware free computer and that I have sucessfully installed Windows XP SP2. I used Trend Micros online virus scanner Housecalll to remove the final viruses. After I was rid of them I went to the Google forum pages you listed and found a solution to my XP install problems. The subinacl utility from Microsoft was run in the safe mode according to one of the posts you sent me. After rumming the registry premissions reset I was finally able to sucessfully instal SP2.

    Thanks for all of your help. Your website is a real computer saver.
