clicking sound when ie not open or open

[mightyuselessone]

this is hijack log and online scan result.
even though the online scan reveals nothing i still get a clicking sound going in background even if there is no ie window open. i ran c cleaner and it was plug right full of sites that i hadn't visited. when i ran spybot i cam up with alexa and mediaplex. in ad aware se i found alexa as well. both show clean after fixing but i still have a file on hijack that doesn't belong.


Virus scan finished. No viruses found.

Hello mightyuselessone


One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the infection has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?
When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

I can help you in the cleaning if you don't want to reformat but there is a possibility that we can't get you 100% clean.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post

[mightyuselessone]

after allowing spybot and ad aware se do thier repair the clicking noise has stoped and CCleaner is no longer pluged full. if i can avoid reformating that is the way i would like to proceed. as we have photos and other items on our system and no where to save them so we don't lose them. please help ty

[Mr_JAk3]
