spybot doesn't pick it up but these other programs so...


According to spy doctor free version i have Trojan.PWS.Tanspy in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\currentversion\controlpanel\load




AVG picked up 2 other trojans which it cleared for me trojan.Pakes.edg and trojan.Agent.qt

Hello,

First of all, you say you are using the Spyware doctor trial version. As you noticed, it doesn't remove anything - but it's still running in the background, using extra system resources, slowing down your system a bit more while it's useless because it doesn't remove anything.

The entry it flags is indeed a leftover from a Bzub Variant, but I see you have been using SDFix previously, so SDFix should already solve it for you.
However, SDFix doesn't remove the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\currentversion\controlpanel\load and its subvalues.
Actually, above key is no standard on XP and is in 99% of the cases added by malware. And if present - it should show no subvalues. In your case, since you were most probably dealing with Bzub, it contains random subvalues.
So we can safely remove it.
To remove it,

Open notepad and copy and paste next present in the quotebox below in it:
(don't forget to copy and paste REGEDIT4)


REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\currentversion\controlpanel\load]

Save this as fix.reg Choose to save as *all files and place it on your desktop.
It should look like this: http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/images/reg.gif
Doubleclick on it and when it asks you if you want to merge the contents to the registry, click yes/ok.
(In case you are unsure how to create a reg file, take a look here (http://www.nellie2.co.uk/file.htm#How_to_Make_a_.Reg_File_) with screenshots.)

Your HijackThislog looks clean though..
But you may check and fix next entry if you didn't set it:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,ShellNext = http://www.navreg.com/index.asp?siteid=8

Also, I see you're not afraid of downloading/using illegal software, because I see you used Soulseek to download Pirated software.
If you visit cracksites, use cracks, you'll ALWAYS get infected. This not only because of the crack itself, but because one single click entering that site may already download and install a huge malware bundle.
You really have to change your surfing habits though, because these malware bundles may contain a keylogger, collecting all your passwords and installing other random malware, compromising your system including infecting other computers. And this all, because you visited some illegal sites.
Also, keep in mind, malware DAMAGES A LOT! And the damage can't always be repaired, so a format and reinstall is the only solution in such cases.
So is it really worth it? Get illegal software for "free", but compromise/break your computer instead.... :(
Better to avoid this instead and change your surfing habits. Then this wouldn't have happened.

Don't forget to change your passwords as well, because the Bzub infection gathers your passwords.

Thanks for the help Mieke

I've done the fix.reg and put it into the registry files now.

Do I need to tick/delete..
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,ShellNext = http://www.navreg.com/index.asp?siteid=8

in HJT ?????

What does it do exactly? I use opera, and wish I could disable IE from opening everytime I go to check my hotmail inbox directly from msn, because I can't stand the flaws in IE security. (Having said that all my passwords are stored in opera which maybe a bad thing?)

Thanks for the warning about crack sites, and yeah I never had any issues with using pirated/cracked software in nearly 10 years on the net because I've always had good anti-virus solutions but this time I was stupid enough to click on an .exe file without scanning it first. My fault.

All my data is on one hard drive and windows is on the other so i don't mind reformatting the other drive every few months to keep me clean. Using ccleaner and opera browser with zonealarm and AVG is a massive help though.

Thanks again,

Jay

Hi,


Do I need to tick/delete..
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,ShellNext = http://www.navreg.com/index.asp?siteid=8

in HJT ?????Only if you didn't set it. It's like a registration page, but it shows blank here. It looks like it's related with http://www.acxiom.co.uk/ which you most probably recognise.
But it won't hurt to fix above entry in HijackThis anyway. That's up to you. :)


because I can't stand the flaws in IE securityThen it's about time you update to Internet Explorer 7 which is more secure.
People are always complaining about the flaws in IE, but they forget that IE is the main browser targetted by malware, since it's the most used one.
If malware writers would mainly target other browsers like Firefox and Opera, I am sure a lot of flaws will become known there as well. But, yes, I agree, Opera and Firefox are a bit more secure to use.


Thanks for the warning about crack sites, and yeah I never had any issues with using pirated/cracked software in nearly 10 years on the net because I've always had good anti-virus solutions but this time I was stupid enough to click on an .exe file without scanning it first. My fault.Yes, but things have changed nowadays. One single exe can download a huge malware bundle and immediately disable your Antivirus and Firewall.
Also,
but this time I was stupid enough to click on an .exe file without scanning it firstThat's a wrong way of thinking. Even though you scanned it first and your Antivirus says the file is clean, it can still be malware, because after all, not all scanners do recognise all malware. Just do NOT trust any pirated/illegal software.
It's really not worth it. There are so many free alternatives, sometimes even better than the purchased ones.

Please read my Prevention page (http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/prevention.html) with lots of info and tips how to prevent this in the future.
And if you want to improve speed/system performance after malware removal, take a look here (http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/slowcomputer.html).

Thanks for all that !!

I most certainly have no idea what that http://www.navreg.com/index.asp?siteid=8 or http://www.acxiom.co.uk is, so thats been ticked for fixing in HJT.
