help virtumonde!

hjt scan done.

hi ken,
ive done as u instructed.
the entries on the scan on HJT have been removed.
and also ive created a new system restore.
everything seems fine now!
is there anythign else to do.
any precautions to prvent future attacks. ive tried to keep the system clean as possible.

just a few clarifications ken,

i usually have spybot as the syware app, and clean my pc reg clean app. is it advisable to keep the apps u asked me to install i.e vundofix,hjt and SAS to remain on the system. is it ok to have more than one program for malware safety or just one.
 
Jack,

Do this.

  • Go to Start > Run and copy and paste ComboFix /u into the box
  • Then hit enter.
This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.

Then drag Vundofix to the thrash. You can keep HJT renamed, won't hurt and you can keep SAS, nice program to run once in awhile.



Spybot Search and Destroy is a great program, keep it updated and run a scan once in awhile. Go to help> about and make sure its version 1.5.1 if not update it here.

I am going to give you a list tips and free programs to install, read over it and install them.

Malware Complaints
Are you mad ? I mean really mad, seething mad, so mad your ready to spit, mad that you have taken your hard earned dollars to buy a computer only to have some Miscredents, Dirt Bags and Cyber Criminals install a malicious program on your computer without your knowledge or consent. You can post your complaint at the above site. If you live in the U.S.A. you can also report your grievance to your State Attorney Generals Office and the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection.

Keep in mind if you install some of these programs. Only ONE Anti Virus and only ONE Firewall is recommended, more is overkill and can cause you problems. You can install all the Spyware programs I have listed without any problems. If you install Spyware Blaster, you can still install Spybot Search and Destroy but do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot.

Here are some free programs to install, all free and highly regarded by the fine people in the Malware Removal Community
  • Spybot Search and Destroy 1.5
    Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis. If you install Spyware Blaster ( Recommended ) then do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot Search and Destroy.
  • Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed. No scan to run, just update about once a week and enable all protection.
  • Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts, again, no scan to run, just install it and let it do its thing.
  • IE-Spyad
    IE-Spyad places over 6000 web sites 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.
  • Firefox 2.0.0.11 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.
  • Zone Alarm Here is a free Firewall from Zone Labs, I wouldn't access the internet without it.

Glad we could help, any more questions , please feel free to post back

Safe Surfn
