Only 2 command services remain

[Mike1009]

I have tried quite a few programs to get all these popups. It has helped but not completely wiped all of them away. Here are the programs I have running now: Spybot, AdAware, AVG, eTrust EZ antivirus, SPyware blaster, windows defender and zone labs.

Any help would be appreciated!

[Mike1009]

I also keep getting a RUNDLL popup that says: error loading C:\windows\system32\guard.tmp
The specified module could not be found



Also EZ antivirus pops up randomly saying I have Canbede virus but that it is deleted then another saying it is infected and that will keep going up to 5 to 7 times

[Rawe]

Yes, it is a legit file.


Process File: backweb-137903 or backweb-137903.exe
Process Name: HP center

Description:
backweb-137903.exe belongs to the Hewlett Packard Center and gives the user access to offers and recommendations from HP.
This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference

One more thing to take care of.

Click Start -> Run and type in:

services.msc

Click "OK".

In the services window find service; Local Security Authority Subsystem Service

Right-click and choose "Properties". On the "General" tab under "Service Status" click the "Stop" button to stop the service. Beside "Startup Type" in the dropdown menu select "Disabled". Click Apply then "Ok". Exit the Services utility.

==

Then lets delete it:
Open HiJackThis
Click on the configure button on the bottom right
Click on the tab "Misc Tools"
Click on "Delete an NT service"
Copy and paste this in: lsass
Click "ok", then reboot

==

One more HijackThis log :)

Run a scan with HijackThis and check the following objects for removal:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE

Now close ALL other open windows except for HijackThis and hit FIX CHECKED.

Run a Windows Search and delete this file if present:

ALCXMNTR.EXE Empty recycle bin.

Should be clean now :bigthumb:

Please read here how to clear old restore points and create a new one (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/mcgill1.mspx).

Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints (http://www.malwarecomplaints.info/index.php) <--- where you can make difference!

The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

Here's some tips for future to prevent spyware;

Detect and Remove Programs:
How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=48) <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
How to use Spybot to remove Spyware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=43) <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
Prevention Programs:
Spywareblaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed. (My favourite)
MVPS Hosts file (http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
Other necessary Programs:
AntiVirus Program <= An AntiVirus program is a must! Whether it is a free version like AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/) or Anti-Vir (http://www.free-av.com/), or a shareware version like Norton or Kaspersky, this is a must have.
Firewall <= A firewall (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=define%3Afirewall&btnG=Search) is definatley a must have. Two good free versions are Sygate (http://www.sygate.com/) and ZoneLabs (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp).
More Secure Browser <= Internet Explorer is not the most secure and best browser. There are safer and better alternatives available. I recommend Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/).And also see TonyKlein's good advice;
So how did I get infected in the first place? (http://castlecops.com/postlite7736-.html) (My favourite)
