Hi

As said cleaning process is nearly finished. If you reformat and continue to use p2p you will most likely become re-infected. Anyway, if you're going to reformat then say it now so that I can help others who have been waiting while I've been helping you.

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

• Download SpywareBlaster
  Spyware blaster is a program that stops known malicious activex controls from installing on your computer. It works by changing settings in your registry. It makes
  kill bits
  in the registry, so that certain activex controls can't install.
  If you don't know what activex controls are, see here
  You can download SpywareBlaster here here
  SpywareBlaster tutorial
  
• hosts file:
  
  • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
  • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
  • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
  • However, it can slow down certain computers.
  • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
  
  Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
  If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
  
  2. Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
  3. Click run
  4. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  5. hit enter, then locate dns client
  6. Highlight it, then double-click it.
  7. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  8. Click ok

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.



Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade

[bay_life25]

thank you so so much! but your just talking about the malware being gone right? what are those other things that the scan detected? should i be worried about those?

[Blade81]

Hi

If you don't need PeoplePc installed then you may uninstall it.

E:\Geoff's Downloads\Music\Random Music\so sac wit it doey rock.mp3 is not necessarily bad one. If you know it's ok then no need to remove.

System restore reset and ComboFix uninstallation according to the instructions above will take care of those other findings

[bay_life25]

greta everything seems to be working fine now thank you so much! the only thing is im not sure what to download at the microsoft site?? I have my automatic updates turned on and they just updated 2 days ago but is there anything else i should have?

[bay_life25]

one more thing...i noticed that a lot of things start when i boot up my computer. is there anyway i can reduce this list to ensure maximum performance like disabling some of the things that start when i boot up?

[Blade81]

Hi

Having automatic updates on should ensure your Windows gets critical updates automatically


I would uninstall Logitech Desktop Messenger since it takes system resources without providing any significant advantages. Uninstalling won't make your Logitech devices non-working.

You may fix following entries with hjt or disable some of them from msconfig (by clicking start -> run and writing msconfig in the runbox. Then uncheck entries with similar names as below in brackets [] ):
