HJT Log and Kaspersky Report

Thank you so much for your help, and hopefully this should be the last day of questions, lol, but just one final (i know i said the last was last time, but you offered :red:) question, so before i get rid of anything i just want your approval for what im going to do with my defence, So

1. Uninstall Norton
2. Keep AVG
2. Uninstall ZoneAlarm
3. Install SpywareBlaster
4. Install COMODO Firewall
5. Install SpywareGuard (I still don't understand what this program does.....any help????)
6. Install the IE Spyad (I apologise for the spelling, btw i still dont understand this either, but im sure you'll explain after we solve the hosts problem :red:)

Is there any personal recommendations that you may have in regards to Antivirus or Antispyware software or firewalls?
 
1. Uninstall Norton YES
2. Keep AVG YES
2. Uninstall ZoneAlarm YES
3. Install SpywareBlaster YES
4. Install COMODO Firewall YES
5. Install SpywareGuard (I still don't understand what this program does.....any help????) It alerts you when changes are made to the registry
6. Install the IE Spyad (I apologise for the spelling, btw i still dont understand this either, but im sure you'll explain after we solve the hosts problem :red:)

IE-SPYAD contains a set of Internet Explorer "Restricted sites" lists for use with ZonedOut, a free Internet Explorer zone management utility available from FunkyToad:

http://www.funkytoad.com/content/view/15/33/

This Restricted sites list is the same as the older "original" IE-SPYAD. The ZonedOut utility from FunkyToad simply automates the process of loading the IE-SPYAD sites list into Internet Explorer's Restricted sites zone, much like the batch file installer in the "original" IE-SPYAD.

Hi, sorry about before, i think you might have recieved the PM from tashi, my internet connection was cut off, just got it back, here is the fresh new HJT Log, with all the changes you suggested :) (i have to say thanks here as well, i can actually see and feel the difference already :red:)

Also just for your reference when i installed COMODO Firewall, it did it's scan on the instillation and found the following: Unknown Malware (Dirty)(ID = 0x4edaf) C:\WINDOWS\_MSRSTRT.EXE
Which i clicked to delete, was that a right action to take?

Lol, of course i can, thats ok, considering the amount of stuff ive asked you to do, lol, and im only one person, id be happy to recap for you :red:

A couple of days ago my Windows Defender detected a settings modifier on the system but was unable to quarantine it, and keeps picking it up again and again everytime it does it's routine scan, i also did a scan with AVG as well and that detected it as well but all it asked me to do was either to confirm the changes or tell it to ignore it, this is the bit which seems to be affected: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Click to expand...

And this problem is still persistent, my windows defender is still picking this up with every scan, despite me quarantining it everytime as well, even after the fix

Before you asked me to use HostsXpert to restore the original, but i was unable to do so because i kept getting this following message

ERROR cannot create file C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts
Click to expand...

So are you still up to help me???? :red:
 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I would like to see a copy of the file in bold.

Click start / then my computer / local disk then follow the process tree.

Right click on the file and select Send To and Compressed (zipped) Folder.
This makes a copy it does not delete it.
Please zip the file and upload it here
Or email it here

Please include a link to this thread.

So are you still up to help me????
Click to expand...
yes this is so much fun :)
 
Done and done, ive emailed it to you, (i probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to upload files onto the link you provided :red:) thanks! ;)
 
Host file is clean.


Lets try this scan.
Click HERE to run Panda's ActiveScan

* You need to use IE to run this scan
* Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
* A new window will open...click the Check Now button
* Enter your Country
* Enter your State/Province
* Enter your e-mail address and click send
* Select either Home User or Company
* Click the big Scan Now button
* If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
* It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
* When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
* When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the ActiveScan report
 
sorry its been taking me so long, ive had problems with my connction again, the provider is till working on it, but it may take time, i hope you'll bear with me plz? :red:
 
...it's not looking good on the scan......:sad:
