    Hi

    Thanks for the info

    Open HijackThis, click do a system scan only and checkmark these:

    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank <--- unless you have set it by yourself
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {00000001-C003-4A2F-9142-7CB1D78DE6C1} - (no file)
    O23 - Service: AOL Instant Messanger (AIM) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\aim.exe (file missing)


    Close all windows including browser and press fix checked.

    Reboot.

    Re-scan with kaspersky.

    Post:

    Shaba,

    As directed, I ran HijackThis and <did> check (and fix) all three entries you indicated. You'll notice that the O23 entry is still there, however.

    Ok, here are the logs...

    Hi Shaba,

    Deleted contents of C:\SDFix\backups\ and emptied Recycle Bin.

    No, I don't think I have any more problems -- my online performance is much better now... even though I'm stuck with a pitiful dial-up account!

    One question, though: referring back to the last Kaspersky log, it would seem that I should be careful to avoid one particular restore point (RP196?). Is there a way to identify which point that is (or delete it), so that I don't accidentally restore some malware?

    Hi

    "One question, though: referring back to the last Kaspersky log, it would seem that I should be careful to avoid one particular restore point (RP196?). Is there a way to identify which point that is (or delete it), so that I don't accidentally restore some malware?"

    Better way is to empty entire system restore, see instructions below:

    Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

    Looking over your log, it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

    As the term conveys, a firewall is an extra layer of security installed onto computers, which restricts access to systems from the outside world. Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. I want you to download a free firewall NOW from one of these excellent vendors:

    1) Comodo
    2) Sunbelt/Kerio
    3) Agnitum
    4) ZoneAlarm

    If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.

    Update Adobe Reader
    It looks like your version of Adobe Reader is out of date and you're vulnerable for infections.
    Please download the newest version here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/acroba...ript=1&dlm=nos

    Install it, then go to Add/Remove Programs and remove any older versions that may remain.

    You can remove all tools we used.

    • Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows XP then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.

      You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

      Windows XP System Restore Guide


    Re-enable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

    • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    • Click once on the Security tab
    • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    • Click once on the Custom Level button.
    • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
    • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

    • Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.


    See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

    Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources


    • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

    • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

      For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

      Understanding and Using Firewalls

    • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

    • Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.

      A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

      Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer

    • Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option.

      This will provide real-time spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

      Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware

    • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

      A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

      Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

    • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
    Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

    Here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety

    • IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
    • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
    • Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
    • Comodo BOCLEAN <= Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
    • Winpatrol <= Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
      Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software


    Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints <--- where you can make difference!

    The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

    Also, please read this great article by Tony Klein So How Did I Get Infected In First Place

    Happy surfing and stay clean!

    Thumbs up

    Hi Shaba,

    I reset system restore, then installed Comodo Firewall v.2.4. The updated Acrobat Reader installer aborted, so maybe it needs XP SP2??? I'll get caught-up with Windows update, then try again.

    Anyway, I'd like to say "thanks" for outstanding support -- good advice delivered really quickly!

    I'll read those references you linked and try hard to stay out of trouble.

    Again, thank you!

    Hi

    Great news

    "The updated Acrobat Reader installer aborted, so maybe it needs XP SP2??? I'll get caught-up with Windows update, then try again."

    Yes, try that again after SP2 installation.
