Title: Windows detected spyware infection
Post by: mjamic on June 24, 2008, 08:35:45 PM
Hi,

The windows icon in the lower right corner says "Your computer is infected!" every time I move my cursor over it. I'm almost positive I have spyware on my computer. I downloaded the latest version of HiJack This and scanned. Please see the log below. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. It was such a pain last time I had to reformat. Thanks.

Hi Guestolo,

I did as you said but when DSS gets to the "examining event log" step, it says that "the program has encountered an unexpected error." Then it gives me the option of sending a report or "don't send" to Microsoft. Is there something else I should be doing?

Thanks,
Morgan

Try the following

Download
[color=\"red\"]SDFix[/color] (http://\"http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.exe\")
Save it to your desktop

After that
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
In Safe mode
Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)
Go to START>>My Computer>>Double click to open the C:\ folder  I'll need to see that log later

Download this file - Combofix.exe (http://\"http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe\")
Double click on ComboFix.exe to run the program

Follow the prompts
normally this fix takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes
After reboot
 ComboFix will run again, then continue to create a log, this can take a few minutes
Let it run uninterrupted please
I'll need to see this log later

Note:
[color=\"#4169E1\"]Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall[/color]

By default, the location of the combofix log is located at this location
C:\combofix.txt

Post the log from ComboFix
 Post the report from SDFix
 and a fresh hijackthis log

Thanks Guestolo,

I'll try this after work. I get home at 4:30 pacific time. Hopefully this will take care of everything.

Thanks,

I'll look for your reply later, I'm on holidays, so I'll check back when I can

Can you do one additional step Before you run Combofix

Temporarily disable AVG protections please so it won't interfere
Open the AVG Control Center program by double clicking it's icon by the clock
Double-click on the "AVG Resident Shield" component -> deselect the "Turn on AVG Resident Shield" checkmark and save the setting.

After ComboFix has run it's course, then reenable AVG protections

Nope I'm happy to say everything's running smoothly. No errors or pop-ups or windows detecting spyware. The only thing I'm having trouble with is updating AVG. It keeps saying connection error when I try to update it automatically.

Also, when I run a scan using AVG I can see the trojan and a bunch of cookies that could be a possible threat. I'm pretty sure it's just showing me the quarantine files because I haven't been having any problems.

Thanks a bunch!

If everything is running better

Please do the following:
Go to START>>RUN>>Copy and paste the next bold entry

ComboFix /u
Hit OK
This will uninstall ComboFix and it's components

download the [color=\"red\"]OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer[/color] (http://\"http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/oldtimer/OTMoveIt2.exe\")[/url].
NOTE: This procedure will also delete OTMoveit.exe from desktop

I suggest that you add SpywareBlaster to your protection software
SpywareBlaster  by JavaCool (http://\"http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\")   After installation, Check for updates
After updating, select "Protection Status" on the Left
Then select "Enable all Protection"
"Check for updates every couple of weeks"
after every update just simply click the "enable protection on all unprotected items"
or again, click on Protection Startus>>enable all protection
