THANKS IN ADVANCE

[guestolo]

With windows set to show hidden files and folders
Navigate to your C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder
Open the folder and look for this bad guy
C:\WINDOWS\system32\j?vaw.exe

The ? mark will not show but it may be in disguise as a legit file by the name of javaw.exe
You don't appear to have Sun Java installed but look for that file name
Right click on javaw.exe and left click properties
If the approximate size is about 415kb and a date of
08/02/2005

Send it to the recycle bin

Then come back here and post a fresh hijackthis log and double click on Export.bat again and post the findings

hi, have found javaw.exe in system32 ,
type of file ,application, size 408kb, created on 20/2/05, but modified on 8/2/05 ,dont understand how that can be. But when tried to send to recycle bin, says cannot delete, access is denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and is not currently in use .

[guestolo]

Can you Restart into safe mode and delete it?
How to Start in SAFE MODE
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as the system is restarting, after the single post beep, or use the link
I supplied for a more detailed explanation

[jacko]

Yes it worked deleting in safe mode.I have posted new logfile and export bat ,shall i change windows back so it doesnt show all hidden files. Thanks in advance

Go ahead and rehide hidden files and folders

If everything is running better

You should disable system restore---restart your computer--enable system restore
This will clear all your restore points and ensure you don't restore any nasties
Once reenabled it will create a fresh restore point
How to Disable and Re-enable System Restore feature

Once back in Windows and System Restore is reenabled

You should set up protection against future attacks

SpywareBlaster 3.3 by JavaCool
*Will block bad ActiveX Controls
*Block Malevolent cookies in Internet Explorer and Firefox
*Restrict actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer


IE-Spyad---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
Download link

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 enable all protection
IE-Spyad is compatible with XP SP2 also

[jacko]

Everything seems to be ok now,downloaded spyware blaster ,but not ie spypad as i only use firefox.I didnt think i would be able to follow your instructions when i first posted ,but your comments have been brilliant and concise for a novice like me.I actually feel like ive learnt something and appreciate your time and effort .Once again many thanks.

Jacko, I'm not finding much bad about that file, but may be a leftover of an unneeded on the system

You can have hijackthis fix this entry with all other windows closed
and then restart your computer
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ShowWnd] ShowWnd.exe

Don't delete the backups that Hijackthis made until your happy with the way everything is running

Back in Windows
Look for showwnd.exe on your computer
Can you right click on it, left click properties
If version tab
Open it and let me know what you can find out about it
Date created and who it's related to
May be to a compaq computer leftover
