Title: elitebar at least
Post by: mkishline on September 19, 2005, 11:11:59 AM
I am helping a co-worker fix their computer. They've been having applications inexplicably shut down and internet access is almost a complete impossibility. I managed to run HijackThis, and here is the resultant log. Thanks in advance for your help.

elitebar at least

Can you let me know why you posted with that title
I don't see signs of elitebar

May I suggest the following for now

==Download and then Install
Ewido Security Suite (http://\"http://download.ewido.net/ewido-setup.exe\")

When installing, under "Additional Options" Uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We'll fix that later
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")
Close out Ewido for now, we'll need it later
If for some reason the Updater won't work can you manually download the
Updates from this link after you have Ewido installed
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/ (http://\"http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/\")

I like to run Ewido in safe mode
Please Restart into SAFE MODE (http://\"http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001060608000039?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=4#_Section4\")
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as the system is restarting, just before Windows loads, or use the link
I supplied for a more detailed explanation

==Open Ewido trojan scanner
Click on the Scanner button on the left menu
Click on the Settings button on the right
Select "Scan Every File"
OK it and then click on the "Complete System Scan"
*If Ewido finds something it will prompt you with "Infected Object found"
Ensure the following are Selected
  *1. Perform Action = Remove
  *2. Create Encrypted Backup in Quarantine (Recommended)
  *3. Perform action with all infections
  Then click OK
When Ewido has finished it's scan click the "Save Report" button
Save the report to desktop
Exit Ewido

NOTE: When Ewido is running do NOT open any other Windows
Let it do it's job

Restart back to Normal mode

Post the report from Ewidos

Are you controlling any entries on startup with msconfig?

Could you also redownload hijackthis from my signature below and save it too a permanent folder on your hard drive
Run hijackthis from the new location and post a fresh log

When I ran Symantec on the computer, the only problem that it found and quarantined was a Trojan.elitebar threat. It seems that there are other problems on the computer, but I'm not entirely sure.

Everything seems to be working great. Her cpu is processing at its normal speeds again, web pages aren't all distorted anymore, and applications aren't closing down on their own. Thanks for your help. /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

If everything is running better, please do the following
You should disable system restore and then reenable it
This will clear all your restore points and ensure you don't restore any nasties
How to Disable and Re-enable System Restore feature (http://\"http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm\")

Once System Restore is reenabled

You should set up protection against future attacks
SpywareBlaster 3.4 by JavaCool (http://\"http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\")
*Will block bad ActiveX Controls
*Block Malevolent cookies in Internet Explorer and Firefox
*Restrict actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer
After installation, Check for updates and then click the "Enable all protection"

IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
Here is a tutorial and download link
TUTORIAL==Link to Tutorial (http://\"http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=53\")
Download link (http://\"https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm#IESPYAD\")
IE-Spyad is compatible with SP2 as well

With both, Check for updates every couple of weeks
Keep the link to IE-Spyad bookmarked so you can check for updates
SpywareBlaster, after every update just simply click the "enable all protection"
