Cannot Load Spybot Search & Destroy

[archicat]

rskelley,

I followed your advise regarding a Recycle bin purge and sytem restore actions, ran a Kaspersky scan, and found the system to be infected. To be sure, I followed the proceedure again, followed by a consistent result.

Additionally, I tried to follow some of the recommendations for firewalls, anti virus programs, etc., and after installing some Microsoft updates (not SP2) including IE7, the system grew very sluggish, control panel would not open, everything felt 'jumpy' and very slow, so I used a system restore to the point preceeding. Just prior to running the following Kaspersky scan, I verified that the Recycle Bin was emptied, and scrubbed the sytem restore settings per your instructions. Please advise...

The following is the results of the latest:

Here are the other three, delete those as well:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\GB9\ <<< delete that folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kwdadwur.dll <<< delete that file
C:\Program Files\Common Files\rtemehd.html <<< delete that file

and after installing some Microsoft updates (not SP2) including IE7, the system grew very sluggish, control panel would not open

If you continue to have issues here, I would consult Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/

I would have prefered you waited until I told you the computer was clean, but at some point you will have to install windows updates and IE7 will afford you additional protection, considering I have not seen a computer this infected in a while, I would say you need all of the protection you can get.

Once you have a clean Kaspersky, look at at this information, if the computer was this infected, chances are very good maintenance proceedures are poor also.

I also suggest you run a free diagnostic here: http://www.pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/
I would be glad to advise you if you post a link to the Test Results.

Here is some great information from experts in this field that will help you stay clean and safe online.

Rskelley,

Thanks for your patience and input.

This is a secondary computer in our household that was set up with no anti-virus... My inclination is that with no active protection, every time we turn the system on we are exposed. Per your advise, I will wait you to initiate the installation of recommended security measures.

As my previous message indicated, the system was restored to previous settings, I deleted the backup files missed on a previous hunting expedition, (oops!) and the subsequent Kaspersky log showed only two trojan-type 'exe' files in Windows\System32 that I deleted.

I will read the info you provided regarding maintenance, etc., and have provided a text save of the PCPitstop check. (not sure how to give you a link...) Once again I am very grateful for your help and expertise, and simply want to get to the point where this mischief is under control.

Thanks Again!

Packet8 Internet Phone Service
Make unlimited voice calls on your broadband Internet connection for only
$19.99/month! Forget long distance phone bills with Packet8 Voice-over-IP
technology.
Click here for information on how to get startedThe Bandwidth tests
measure the Internet bandwidth between your computer and PC Pitstop's
servers. In general, if your bandwidth result is at least 85% of the rated
connection speed, you're receiving good throughput (though shared
connections may affect this, too).
Average Ping measures the round-trip time for a packet to travel from the
PC being tested to PC Pitstop's web site and back; lower numbers indicate
better performance. Ping times under 150ms are typical of T1, DSL, or
cable modems. Consistent ping times of more than 500ms should only be seen
in connections that span continents (e.g., USA to Europe) and/or are
linked by satellite. Ping losses usually indicate serious Internet
congestion.
Internet performance can be erratic for many different reasons, so you
can't expect to get maximum bandwidth and ping performance every time you
test. You should test several times and at different times of the day to
get the most accurate picture of your connection speed. To repeat only our
Bandwidth test and get more information, plus tips for improving
performance, click here. For additional testing of your browser
configuration and Internet connection, we recommend BrowserTune.

Memory Tip
On virtually any system, memory is the best bang-for-the-buck upgrade,
especially if you currently have 256MB or less. Installing memory is a
snap, it just works and your PC is faster. PC World has put together a
step-by-step guide if you need help.
With prices so low lately I've purchased a lot of memory, and all of it
has been from Crucial. Their prices beat the competition and they
currently have free shipping.
-- Rob Cheng, CEO, PC PitstopUpgrading memory can give your computer extra
performance. Crucial Technology can identify the memory you need at very
competitive prices.
Speed rating is measured in megabytes per second. The percentage indicates
the performance of this system compared to systems in our database with a
similar CPU and clock speed; the number of similar systems is also shown.
For example, a score of 50% would indicate this system had half the
performance of comparable systems; 200% would indicate twice the
performance. A "normal" number is 100% plus or minus about 15%.
The System Management BIOS is reporting that there is 1024 MB of RAM, but
Windows reports that 1015 MB is available. The most common reason for this
discrepancy is that your system uses some system RAM for the video
graphics card or BIOS functions. This case is common in highly-integrated
PCs with video graphics built into the system board, and does not require
any changes on your part.
Drive LettersThese are drive letters associated with hard disk drives.
This list does not include drive letters for floppy disks or other
removable media such as CD-ROM, DVD, Zip or Jaz drives.

Percentages shown for free space, junk files (temporary files, browser
cache, Recycle Bin files), and system restore space represent the size
relative to the total disk capacity. A disk with 50% free space is
half-full (or half-empty, if you're an optimist). PC Pitstop Optimize is
an easy way to keep your hard disk free of unnecessary files.

Our full tests only perform disk health checking on the C drive. We
recommend that you check the health of your other drives using Disk MD.
Data fragmentation measures the percentage of data on the disk that is
contained in fragmented files. File fragmentation is the percentage of
files on the disk that are fragmented. Some disk optimization programs
such as Window's Disk Defragmenter intentionally fragment files to place
them in the best position to ensure quick program loading, so the
fragmentation measures may be non-zero even after running a disk
optimizer. For more details check out Disk MD.
Cached and uncached speed is measured in megabytes per second (MB/s). When
a percentage is shown for cached and uncached speed, it compares the
performance of the drive with those of systems in our database with the
same processor and clock speed. (Our database currently has 12577 similar
systems.) A rating of 200% means a disk is twice the performance of
similar systems, 50% means it's half the performance. Cached disk speed
generally measures the efficiency of the system's processor and memory
system, not the performance of the hard disk. Uncached speed is most
affected by the physical hard disk and the disk interface.

PC Pitstop's video performance performs a basic test of your system's
graphics capabilities and reports the result in millions of pixels
displayed per second (MP/s). The percentage indicates the performance of
this system compared to systems in our database with a similar CPU, clock
speed, and video board. For example, a score of 50% would indicate this
system had half the performance of comparable systems; 200% would indicate
twice the performance. Determining "normal" performance can be difficult,
there can be wide differences due to video drivers even on the same video
board. (You can use TouchStone's DriverAgent to see if you have the latest
driver.)

You used to be able to run without a antivirus and with some luck stay fairly clean...not anymore. It is cyber-suicide going online without and antivirus program, firewall and a good spyware program, see this:

The information you posted from PCPitStop does not help, here is the forum where you can post your questions about the test results:

should be fine but review the information for security measures asap.

Thanks
