Thanks for the links, shelf life. I'm familiar with Housecall.

I recently Googled "Kaspersky online scanner" though and found that apparently you can still access version 7.0 at...

Hi guys,

Happy holidays to all. :santa:

Just wondering what everyone, especially the malware people, has been advising since Kaspersky's free online scanner has been unavailable as of late.
...

Thanks, indeed. Your help all year has been invaluable. :)

Yup, it happened again when I clicked on the YouTube link you gave. :|

Mine is hardware-based, according to this link that told me how to find that out (Link:...

Yeah, happy holidays everyone! Especially to all the helpers and experts! :D Thanks for helping me and everyone else all year.

I just did some full system scans and I'm clean according to Spybot, AVG, MBAM, and Kaspersky Online.

I wanted to make sure it was really YouTube so I closed some programs and cleared my cache,...

Hey guys, sorry to intrude on your holidays but I have this new problem apparently. I don't know what's causing it.

Every time I begin watching a YouTube video, I get this popup error message...

Thanks for that link. So far, so good--I've only gotten one email.

Ugh, why did I click that link?!? :(

Anyway, guys, I don't know if any of you are familiar with this site Fanbox.com; apparently it's a reincarnation of SMS.ac.

The lowdown is that I got an...

Thanks, good suggestions here. They actually have the features I need. :)

So my trial version of Nero has expired, but I'm hoping not to shell out some cash just to buy the full version 'cause I don't make full use of each feature anyway.

What's a good alternative to...

Thanks for the advice guys. Will get the battery checked out this weekend.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting a professional to get that done. Thanks for the warning.

Do you guys think it's urgent, though, or can it wait? I mean, I don't really mind setting the date and...

Hi, I have another PC which is malware- and virus-free. After not using it for a long time, I noticed that it stopped keeping the date and time accurate.

Whenever I'd turn it on, the date/time...

Okay, that sounds like a good idea. Though after running scans today (SpyBot, AVG, MBAM, Kaspersky online), no infections were found. Thanks again. :)

Thanks for the reply.

I also think it's a false positive. I checked when the file was created, and according to the file properties it was created the same date as I set up the computer. I did not...

Hi guys, thanks for this information.

I recognized this and remembered that my SpyBot fixed it on November 8th. It found 2 autorun settings (one for Domino and one for VMSnap3) and 2 program...

Hello again. Just ran scans today as scheduled, and Kaspersky found one infection, Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Dadobra.bru. Any help is appreciated. :) Thank you.

Spybot: No infections
AVG: No...

Hi guys, I need your help.

What is the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmserver.dll for? AVG Anti-Virus detected "Win32/Patched.T" in it and moved the file to the Virus Vault.

Is this an essential...

All right. Thanks again. :)

How strange that those mp3 files were infected. I downloaded them months ago. I don't remember downloading codecs either. Oh well. The two files have been deleted.

UFU is the directory for an...

Please help, Kaspersky found some stuff today. :( AVG found a "generic trojan" too, but it does not show up since I moved it to the Virus Vault.

Kaspersky:
...

All right! :) Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the reply, pskelley.

(1) I have deleted everything in the temp folder. The trojan is gone.

(2) About restart.exe, I didn't delete it because I think it's a system file, part of my...

Help! I found Trojan-Proxy.Win32.Ranky.jd on my computer. There's another "infection" called not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.j but I'm not so worried about that as I've come across it before.
...

That's so weird; the folder was created the same day I installed Windows, and at the time I did not have an internet connection yet. I think this folder and its files are connected to my installed...

Sorry, I made a mistake. The folder is at C:\Windows\system32\Tools.

Oh, well. I have AVG Free v8.0 now. I thought they integrated AVG Anti-Spyware into this new version. Maybe they did? I...

Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, I have no malware issues. Kaspersky just happened to find this one file suspicious.

Here are all the files inside the Tools folder: All.exe, AutoClick.ini,...

Hello, I decided to do a Kaspersky scan today and it found something called not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.j. AVG and SpyBot don't detect it. I couldn't find any details on this thing, too.
...

Thanks, tashi! Site Advisor was really helpful.

Hello, does anyone know why EnneagramInstitute.com has the label "This site may harm your computer" when it appears on Google?

It's a site for research on the enneagram typologies of personality...

Oh...hopefully that didn't happen.

Thanks for the info.

Thank you for making it all clearer. It's good to know that the trojan I got was never able to grab a password from my cookies!

Java update done; it's now Version 1.6.0 (build 1.6.0_03-b05).

I have gotten rid of the infected system restore files, and according to Spybot, Kapersky, AVG Anti-Spyware, and AVG Anti-Virus, my...

I'm sorry, I posted the wrong HJT log! :oops:

Latest one:

Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2

Hmm. Yes, I do know that about cookies, and how to delete them.

What's unclear though is whether logging out of a website clears password information stored on a cookie.

I know that after...

I'm sorry to bother you again, but I have this new concern. Today I decided to do a full scan of my computer just to make absolutely sure:

Spybot (updated) found no infections.
Kaspersky...

I have what might be a silly question.

Does logging out of a website erase information stored on the site's cookie?

More specifically, I have this scenario:

I mean, let's say I visit...

Thanks for looking through my log. Later when I get home I will update Java and study those pages you gave me more closely. Thanks. :)

I scanned them though, and I was looking for answers to my...

I have read some of the pages you posted. It's really disturbing. But I came across this on Symantec's website...



During the time I was infected, I made sure to keep surfing to a minimum,...

OMG, my heart is pounding. But wait, a few developments have taken place recently.

First, AVG has now detected the malware. It isolated the file responsible for its persistence, ntos.exe. ...

Hi, I recently got infected by malware demon Win32.Agent.pz. Right now I'm still waiting for one of the experts to help me.

So it got me thinking, (1) how much of a difference does it make when...

Hello, my problem is with Win32.Agent.pz, a malware that creates a directory named "wsnpoem" in the system folder, installs library files, and runs in the background.

I followed the step-by-step...
