Hello and welcome to the forum, sorry for the wait, logs are many and volunteers are few. If you still need help and are not receiving it at another forum, please do this.
Is this a company computer? Krupp Gerlach Company

You are running HJT from a Temp folder: C:\Temp\Hijackthis\HijackThis.exe it needs a permanent folder to store backups for safety and logs you create. Make a folder like this: C:\HJT\ and move the .exe into it. Delete that other folder.

C:\!KillBox\ <<< you have an old Killbox backup file, delete it. If you ever need Killbox again, download it fresh.

I just do not see any malware in this HJT log. I can say that activity is normal for a computer as programs reach out to update, check for updates, download email, etc. You should be able to look at your firewall logs to see what programs are accessing the internet. As far as the computer being slow, many things can cause this beside malware, and I also see quite a few programs running at every bootup that you may be able to turn off and start in All Programs if you need them. Look to this information to help you:
http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/ It is of couse important that you do not turn off any security programs, they need to run to protect you.

You are storing a lot of junk cookies, this information should help:

Here are some ideas that may help you improve speed:

http://www.techbuilder.org/recipes/59201471

Just because we can see it in the HJT log, does not mean it could not be there hidden. If you want to check, use this tool with the instructions in the link. If you run the scan, post the scan results and a new HJT log for me to view.

Hi Phil,

No, it's not a company PC - I don't know anything about Krupp Gerlach?? This PC was infected about six weeks ago when I let someone use it while I was on vacation and I went through the forum to clean it. At the time, I received an email from my ISP that my IP was identified as originating spam and they threatened to suspend my acct. I have another desktop PC connected to the same router which doesn't show activity (blinking port LED) like this one - whenever I enable the LAN connection on this PC the port LED shows continuous activity that never stops. Also, an Internet Gateway showed up under Network Connections after infection (I disabled it) and I assume it's evidence of control from an external PC.

I'll disable any other PCs on the network and check my router log, plus I'll go through the links you sent to see if that helps and post any scan logs. The TEMP folder isn't really temporary but I can move HJT to its own folder and I'll delete the old Killbox.

This PC definitely still has some problems - there's a big difference b/w now and before all this happened and the constant activity wasn't there before.

Thanks - I'll post again when I get a chance to go through your links.
-Bobby

OK, thanks for the feedback, here are those lines:

Have a look yourself: http://www.whois.sc/ enter 170.56.58.53
http://whois.domaintools.com/170.56.58.53

I would find out what that is first, perhaps discuss it with your ISP, if you are sure it has nothing to do with you I would get rid of it.
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-16,GGLG:en&q=flush+the+DNS
My suggestion would be to have the ISP help you with this, we don't want to create a problem. This is slightly out of my area of expertise.

I suggest you run a good spyware scan to see if it picks up on anything. I would suggest this one which is free for the trial period and use the instructions in the link. Post the results for me to view.

Hi Tashi,

Sorry to take so long. I contacted my ISP (Time Warner) and they had no knowledge of 170.56.58.53 so my guess is that it's nefarious in nature. I got busy and distracted by other things so I haven't gotten rid of it, flushed the DNS or run the spyware scan recommended in pskelley's post. Sorry for being so tardy in this:red: I'll run the scan and post tonight.

Thanks!
Bobby

I removed the three entries related to 170.56.58.53, flushed the DNS and for a little while it seemed like the LAN activity may have slowed down somewhat. I downloaded the AVG Anti-Spyware app from the link provided and have been trying to update and scan my system but AVG seems to lock up for long periods and hang. At one point I think I was able to update and scan and I thought I saved the scan but I can't find it now. There's still CONSTANT network activity and the system is slow.

One other thing - I looked at the Network Connections - the Internet Gateway is still there and still disabled but the LAN Local Area Connection doesn't have the Windows Firewall enabled. When I click on "Change Windows Firewall Settings" I get a window with the following message:

"Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings"

Something is still so very wrong with this computer :sad:

Hi Bobby, let's look some more to see what we can find out. I see nothing in the HJT log, please see if you can get AVG Anti-Spyware to run, if not we will remove it and try another tool.

Let me say I am also on a LAN (Verizon DSL) and activity is normal. I am wondering if you have a third party firewall running in your Norton Internet Security program? If so you would not want the SP2 firewall enabled anyway according to Microsoft.
If you are depending on the SP2 firewall (and I do not believe you should) this problem seems to be a common one according to Google, look first at this information: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sharedaccess.htm
Then look at the complete Google. Let me know what corrects the issue for future reference please.
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-16,GGLG:en&q=Due+to+an+unidentified+problem%2c+Windows+cannot+display+Windows+Firewall+settings

If you can not get the AVG Anti-Spyware program to run, uninstall it from your computer and try this one:
http://www.trendmicro.com/spyware-scan/ Please copy and paste the scan report to your topic:

When the detection process is complete, the tool will display a report describing the result including which if any, spyware were detected, and prompt you before the removal process.
Let's take a look for a rootkit with Blacklight:
Download the free trial here:
http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try_blacklight.html
Save it to your Desktop and run it, do not do anything with the information. It will appear in a notepad on the Desktop near the program. Copy and paste that information to this topic.

Thanks

Finally getting back to this issue....

I checked the firewall and this pc has Norton Internet Security running but the firewall was off. I enabled the firewall and got a warning that protector.exe was attempting to access the internet. I searched online and protector.exe sounded like it may be bad so I tried blocking access from Norton but the box keeps popping back up. I clicked on the Alert Assistant in NIS and it said that protector.exe is attempting to connect to a computer at 72.232.61.114:8080 using port 3384.

Do you know what this means?

I removed the AVG Anti-spyware program and I'm trying to do the Trendmicro Anti-Spyware scan. I clicked the link to do an online scan and it took me to the next page and says "Please wait while Trend Micro Anti-Spyware for the web loads..." but it just sits there and hasn't done anything. I tried refreshing the page - nothing. I tried going back to the previous page and clicked the Scan button again and it's doing the same thing - basically nothing. :mad:

According to a google, this protector.exe has to do with this item:
http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/protector/
Here is the google on the item:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-16,GGLG:en&q=protector%2eexe+

According to that first link the item can be removed in Add Remove programs in the Control panel and has probably been install on the computer by someone?
See if it is there and uninstall it first, then run Blacklight again and follow the instructions in step two to clean, these are the bad items.

12/25/06 22:54:39 [Info]: Hidden file: c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntio256.sys
12/25/06 22:54:58 [Info]: Hidden file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\protector.exe

after you do that, then post a new HJT log for me to view. Once that log is posted, then do this:

Click here (http://beta.grisoft.cz/beta/betarep.files/antirootkit/AVG_AntiRootkit_1.0.0.13.exe) to download AVG Anti Rootkit and save it to your desktop.

Double-click on the AVG_AntiRootkit_1.0.0.13.exe file to run it.
Click "I Agree" to agree to the EULA.
By default it will install to "G:\Program Files\GRISOFT\AVG Anti-Rootkit Beta".
Click "Next" to begin the installation then click "Install".
It will then ask you to reboot now to finish the installation.
Click "Finish" and your computer will reboot.
After it reboots, double-click on the AVG Anti-Rootkit Beta shortcut that is now on your desktop.
Click on the "Perform in-depth search" button to begin the scan.
The scan will take a while so be patient and let it complete.
When the scan is finished, click the "Save result to file" button.
Save the scan results to your desktop then come back here to copy and paste the results in your next reply to this thread.

Thanks

I had Googled protector.exe when it popped up in NIS and I definitely didn't install anything from Spytech or SpyAnywhere to allow remote administration. Add/Remove doesn't list protector, Spytech or SpyAnywhere. Also, I know the difference b/w normal LAN activity and non-stop constant activity as I had mentioned that this PC had and since blocking access to protector.exe the activity on this machine's LAN port has dropped to practically zero and looks much more normal. So I feel pretty confident that these hidden files have been at least part of the source of my frustration on this and my previous post a few months ago when this issue first creeped up. Both times after initial cleaning I've been told that my system looked clean and both times I've felt that wasn't true due to the amount of LAN activity and the PC's response - I think this is something that should be checked for before a clean bill of health can be assumed. <soapbox_off>

Here's my HJT log after renaming the two files in Blacklight and rebooting:

Thanks for returning your information and the feedback. I also agree with all you had to say. Understand these rootkit infections are fairly new, here is a little information:
http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST06-001.html
The shame of it all is the hackers are making big $$ infecting your computer and a handfull of volunteers are being overwhelmed.

As far as I can see, Blacklight removed the infection. I asked you to run the other rootkit program as a double check, and would appreciate seeing that scan information. Please let me know how the computer in running now. You should clean the System Restore files:
System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:

Hi, back now. AVG Anti-Rootkit says no rootkits found so no log to post. I turned off System Restore, rebooted and turned it back on again. System seems stable - I'm defragging now to try and (hopefully) speed things up a bit.

I really appreciate your volunteer effort to help me fix this - BIG thanks! :bigthumb:

I apologize, I can not see where I had you clean your System Restore files and that should be done, follow these directions:
1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore,
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Thanks
