:sick: Yikes, it was persistent... a plague. >.> I just reformatted my Windows XP just several days ago and I'm experiencing a continuous change in my security zones in IE7. I don't know why or what the source is, but my IE 7 restricted zones are only changed, the other intact. I haven't plugged in a infected flash drive, yet I don't have P2P software. This problem plagued me in the past and is coming back again T.T Btw, Hi-jack log below should it be any help at all:

Yikes.:D: I agree with you... but my IE7 is fine now. I just notice that it occurs only when I immunize with SpywareBlaster and Spybot SD. Thank you for your help. My PC is clean >.>, but although I'm suspecting I have malware or a keylogger.

Sincerely Yours.:red::oops:
 
Well, as I could see at the moment, all the security zones in IE7 are working fine, as they are all default. I have not run the Panda Scan, however I do not plan to do so. :laugh: I apologize, but it is that I do not want to run it, but it is that I do not think it is neccessary at the moment. I ran Kaspersky yesterday afternoon and the scan found nothing. :oops: I appreciate your effort to help me, thank you. Erm. Wait, I have another question. I just reformatted my WinXp (Home Edition)several days ago, and I think my PC might have some kind of error or bug. How I see it, is the the icons in my start menu, always disappear. I'm referring to the ones in my "Accessories" folder. The Command Prompt, Windows Explorer, Disk Defrag, Security Center and the Scheduled Tasks icons are missing. It resembles the type of icon which like it's "missing" its file extension or the proper program to run it. Say like <something.pdf> and the icon appears to be missing because Adobe Reader is not installed. This is what happened to the icons in the folder. I have attempted to readjust the icons with the properties option, but not avail.
This has not occurred to me in the past, but why now? I'm just bewildered. My Pc is clean, no malware or spyware. I would gladly appreciate any help.

Sincerely Yours.
 
:oops:I hope I not an nuisance, but I want to add to my previous post. I came across Trend Micro's Online Virus Scanner. I was forced to quit the scanner, because Java prompted me that although the trusted signature was valid, the signature expired. This occur both prior and after the reformatted my pc. I have the latest version of Java installed. I don't see what the problem is. The website itself or my computer?:red:
 
Well, I just recently updated it to the latest version, yet Trend Micro told me the scanner had an valid signature, but it has expired. Any problems with that? :lip: I have another Hijack Log, this time by Winpatrol. I would like to know if there's any solution about the "missing" icons in my start menu folder (in my previous post). Thanks :santa:

* Enter your e-mail address and click send
* Select either Home User or Company

Can you run this scan?
 
Panda prompted my several times to run the "Motor" and "Control" ActiveX, before I could scan though (ran on IE7).
I could not produce a log of the scan because the scan was clean. Nothing. Just clean. :red:
 
System History
System Information in Windows XP provides a new view of changes to the computer. Rather than a separate history view for each category as was shown in Windows 98, Windows XP enables you to view all changes to the computer since a certain date, and time.

The history information is provided in the same three main categories that were provided in the Standard view: Hardware Resources, Components and Software Environment. History Information is provided by WMI, and is stored in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) data files located in Windows\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Datacoll.

That should explain it.


Well looks like it may be some thing other than spyware.
We can dig deeper if you like.
 
Download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download.
It must be saved directly to your desktop.


1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

  • Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan.
  • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
  • Remember to re enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the net


2. Close any open browsers and make sure you are disconnected from the net. Unplug the cable if need be before running combofix.
  • IF you have not already done so Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet when it starts.
  • If there is no internet connection when Combofix has completely finished then restart your computer to restore back the connections.

3. Now double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it will produce a report for you.
Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review


Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall or freeze.
 
That is fine. I do not plan to run Combofix. I believe my PC is fine, I would choose to dismiss this log. Thank you for your effort and help :laugh:.

Sincerely Yours.
