Hello,

Can you help me get rid of this bug :sick:

This is my daughter's computer and I have just installed most of the antispyware and zone alarm after she got the virus.

Here's the log. THANKS!

hi mhoffee,

i dont see anything in the hjt log to be concerned about. what kind of malware problem are you having, or maybe its all ok now?

if its not, please do ascan with avg antispyware and save the log, then post that log in next reply:
When the scan finishes click on "Save Report", then "Save Report As". This will create a text file.
Save the report to your Desktop.
Close AVG Anti-Spyware

The TagASaurus virus seems to be gone. I'm dumbfounded as to why it suddenly dissapeared when previous cleansings didn't seem to work, but I can't complain! I seem to be clean at this time. Thanks for your assistance!!! :bigthumb:

hi mhoffee,

ok. good. some reference material for you:

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,porn 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 will 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) Use XP? consider using IE 7.0
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/) or Opera (http://www.opera.com/index.dml)


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)
SuperAntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/)
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)
CounterSpy (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/)

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.
