Freezing problem of Firefox, Ms Office etc
« on: January 10, 2006, 06:45:49 AM »
I am using Firefox 1.5 browser and it is hanging after every 5 -10 minutes and I need to end the program from task manager. The same problem with me when I am working with win word. When I am on net norton anti virus (corporate edition 10) frequently alerting me that
'Backdoor.Sdbot - install.exe-  File D:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\DOCUME~1\ action Deleted.' Whenever I am scanning my system there is no virus found. The message I am receiving from last 2 months. After this I have got one warning message in system tray that ' You have infected with Spyware, pls click here to download the antispyware' with a red cross icon.  I have then scanned my system with microsoft anti spyware and it discoverd some trojans and spyware & adware also, but I am not remembering the names.  After rebooting my system I scanned with norton antiviurs and norton also discoverd and cleaned them, the log file given below:-

Then the browser firefox never hanged and after 2 - 3 days again my programs started hanging and I got some alerts from Norton anti virus that

I have downloaded and installed latest update of windows wmf vulnerability from microsoft and then scanned my computer using norton and microsoft antispyware but nothing found. Then I searched net for solution and I found your site and your replies to people having problems like mine and I decided to request you to solve my problem.

I have downloaded hijakthis and scanned. The log given below

Hi r_c_nair
Download SmitRem.exe by Noahdfear and save the file to your desktop.
Don't run it yet

==Download and Install
Windows Cleanup! 4.0
Don't run this yet,

==Download and then Install
Ewido anti-malware 3.5

When installing, under "Additional Options" Uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".

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/

Save the rest of these instructions to a Notepad file saved to your desktop or Print them out for use in safe mode

Please Disable Microsoft AntiSpyware's realtime protections so it won't interfere in any fixes we try.
Keep this disabled until we know you are clean
Open Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Click on Options>>Settings
In the left pane, click on Real-time Protection.
Under Startup Options uncheck Enable the Microsoft AntiSpyware Security Agents on startup (recommended).
Under Real-time spyware threat protection uncheck Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended).
After you uncheck these, click on the Save button and close Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Right click on the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the taskbar and select Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware.

RESTART your Computer in SAFE MODE
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as the system is restarting, just before Windows loads
Choose Safe mode from the startup menu

==Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
Set the program up as follows:
Click "Options..."
Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):

    * Empty Recycle Bins
    * Delete Cookies
    * Delete Prefetch files
    * Cleanup! All Users

Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.
When it's done, decline to log off or restart the computer

==Double click on SmitRem.exe to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.
Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish. Remain in safe mode

==Open Ewido Security Suite
Click on the Scanner button on the left menu
Select 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, don't open any other Windows

When Ewido is done

RESTART your computer  back to Normal mode

Back in Windows
Can I see the following

1. Post the report you saved earlier with Ewidos
2. Post a new log from Hijackthis
3. Post the report from Smitrem located here C:\Smitfiles.txt

NOTE: You will have to reset your background in Display properties
XP users using the XP theme may experience a change to the Classic Windows theme. This can be changed on the themes tab of desktop properties.

Do you want to post your own logs from FRST?

Do a "System scan only" with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = c:\secure32.html


After you have ticked the above entry, close All other open windows
Including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis

Reboot the computer

Come back here and post a fresh Hijackthis log

Is Internet Explorer working fine?
Do you have any themes installed with Firefox?

Do you want to post your own logs from FRST?

Freezing problem of Firefox, Ms Office etc

It appears to be a Firefox only problem then
It may be related to a firefox extension you have added
The only way I can think of tracking it down is to uninstall an extension
By trial and error you may be able to track it down

Or a reinstall of Firefox
But if you reinstall I would remove Firefox and all related folders
Do you know what I mean?

Backup your Bookmarks before you go that route

I have already uninstalled firefox and remove all related folders and clean with registry mechanic for 3 - 4 times, but no chance.

Anyway thank you very much for helping me and god bless you.

Thankx
