Vundo for sure.....others?

[birdman]

I can (I think) follow the fix already posted for vundo as a sticky from Taschi; however, in my uneducated scanning of my hjk log, it seems I have mutiple problems and I wanted to understand the magnitude of my problems before I started a piecemeal approach.

From Pandascan, I have the following with only the "Target" cookie making any sense

Obviously, AOL is a big polluter, but that is what the family likes to use.

What else, besides vundo fix, do I need to do?

Thanks

Hi Shelf Life,

Thanks so much for your assistance :bigthumb: . I followed your instruction and my latest log follows.

Interestingly, Vundofix found no infected files ????, therefore no log. Virtomundo had plaqued me for months and I tried a variety of remedies before I found this forum. I had googled fixes before but for the most part stayed away as I figured that is how I got infected in the first place; i.e. fixing something that was not broken. I hope that in no way have I wasted your time.

Maybe something I did with Adaware, Spybot, AOL (McAfee) or Microsoft had cleaned it for the most part (seems unlikely to me) and your recommended hijack fixes finished it off. Interested to "hear" your thoughts and see what you think of the attached.


Thanks again.:)

hi birdman,

that last log looks ok, i guess you managed to get it all cleaned up yourself.

you can run hjt once more and have it clean up these leftovers:

Hi Shelf Life,

Thanks for your help!:bigthumb: I am not sure how I did any cleanup, but maybe the monkey and typewriter theory is correct. At least I now have the misc. items cleaned and feel confident about my system after having you look at it. I know I continually was getting Winfixer popups until recently and since I am trying to edit videos, I needed all the system resources I could get.


regards,
birdman

hi birdman,

good. happy safe surfing. for your reference:

Be careful of what you download, and where you download it from. Many programs come bundled with extra software.You may be installing more than you think. Learn more about the program, Does it come bundled with other "3rd party" programs? If you search hard enough you can always find a "clean" alternative to any software. Stay away from warez and crack sites. Becarful what you download from file sharing networks. If you are not sure, scan it with your Antivirus app. DO YOU TRUST THE SOURCE? Check this database:Spyware Guide (http://www.spywareguide.com/) or this: Library (http://research.sunbelt-software.com/Browse_Library.cfm)before installing free/shareware.

Make sure you keep your Windows OS/Browser current by visiting Windows update (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp)
occasionaly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. These patch flaws/bugs that can be exploited.

Adjust your browser settings: Change your(active x) settings in IE. With IE open go to tools, internet options, security tab. Click on the internet globe, then custom level. Set the first option "download signed active x controls" to prompt, the next two to disable. Read more:
Working with Internet Explorer 6 Security (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/howto/security/settings.mspx)
Many exploits are directed at Internet Explorer, you dont have to use it. Try a different browser. You can have and use more than one browser on your computer.
Like Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/),


Install a Firewall:A firewall will help to control what comes in from the internet and what leaves your computer to the internet. Zone Alarm is a free and easy to use firewall, that will provide in and outbound protection. XP firewall dosnt block outbound traffic. Its important to know/learn what routinely needs a internet connection.
Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=dbtopnav_zass)
OutPost Lite (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php)
Jetico Personal Firewall (http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirewall.htm)
Look n Stop (http://www.looknstop.com/En/index2.htm)

Outlook Express with the default settings is not secure. It will run scripts, download images etc, just like a browser, but this was the old Outlook Express. Service Pack 2 has made huge improvements to Outlook, but just like with Internet Explorer, you dont have to use it.
try Pegasus E-Mail. (http://www.pmail.com/)

Make sure you have and keep updated Antivirus software
Free for home users:
avast! 4 Home Edition Download (http://www.avast.com/eng/free_virus_protectio.html)
AVG free version 7.0 (http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/)
AntiVir Personal Edition (http://www.free-av.com/)
Clam Win (http://www.Clamwin.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/)

Download one or two of these, install and update before using:(if these are constantly finding malware, then you need to make changes to your browser and or your habits)
CounterSpy (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/)Free trial version
Spybot Search and destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)
Ad-Aware SE Personal edition (http://www.lavasoft.de/)
Microsoft Windows Defender (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)
Becarful with spyware "removers and scanners"-- there are many "rogue/suspect" (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm) programs that "claim to remove" spyware.Check here first.


AntiTrojan software to fill in the gap:
a2 free (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/)
Ewido Anti-Spyware (http://www.ewido.net/en/)
Trojan Hunter (http://www.misec.net/)
Tauscan trial version (http://www.agnitum.com/products/tauscan/)

Other programs to consider:
Process Guard (http://www.diamondcs.com.au/processguard/) stop events/processes with user intervention
SpywareBlaster (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=49) add security to IE
IE-SPYAD (https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm#IESPYAD) adds adware peddlers sites/domains to IE restricted zone
ATF cleaner (W2K,XP only) (http://www.atribune.org/content/view/25/2/) cleans out temp files,history, cookies etc.
