System had fakealert.ega;(Inactive)

[p51302]

This system was/is infected with fakealert.ega. Utilized malwarebyte's ani-malware and it seemed to clean it. But, subsequent scans seem to find other trojans. I just don't know how to determine if my system is trully clean.

When sending emails via Outlook Express, an outbound email would be multiply sent out.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Please note that all instructions given are customised for this computer only,
the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.

Hello and welcome to the forums

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:

1. Please Read All Instructions Carefully
2. If you don't understand something, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
3. Please do not run any other tools or scans whilst I am helping you
4. Failure to reply within 5 days will result in the topic being closed.
5. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
   (Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those few things, everything should go smoothly

Some of the logs I request will be quite large, You may need to split them over a couple of replies.

Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.
Be assured, any links I give are safe

AdAware
Please disable AdWatch, as it may hinder the removal of some entries. You can re-enable it after you're clean.

Go to Tools and Preferences.
At the bottom of the screen you will see 2 options Active and Automatic.

Uncheck both options. You can enable these after resolving your problem.
