peku006

Thanks so much for your help in correctly my PC.

Of course I have numerous ????'s left:
-do I delete/remove all the logs and programs we downloaded?
-do I keep malware bytes and run weekly with my avg, cccleaner etc?
-when prompted "updates ready for your computer" in the future, run?
-is Jasc paintshop / alm part of java? I didnt uninstall because it didnt have a jre or j2se or java(tm) name but looked like it may be part of java?

Unrelated ?, do you know of a program to recover photos off a card while loaded in camera? My canon isnt id'd by the recovery program i have, trying to find something that will allowrecovery off camera while connected to pc? not sure if that falls in your arena but figured i woul ask : )


Thanks again, please let me know what all i have to do to finish things off...

How to recover deleted, corrupted, or formatted pictures for free

Your log now appears to be clean. Congratulations! :yahoo:

To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created do the following:

Delete Rootkit Unhooker, Security Check and TDSSKiller from your desktop.

Download OTC by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

  • Double-click OTC.exe
  • Click the CleanUp! button
  • Select Yes when the Begin cleanup Process? Prompt appears
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes
  • The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself

Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

MBAM can be uninstalled via control panel add/remove but it may be a useful tool to keep ......Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Scanning Guide.

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

Disable and Enable System Restore-WINDOWS XP
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

Turn off System Restore
  • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
  • Click Properties.
  • Click the System Restore tab.
  • Check Turn off System Restore.
  • Click Apply, and then click OK.
  • Reboot.
Turn ON System Restore
  • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
  • Click Properties.
  • Click the System Restore tab.
  • UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
  • Click Apply, and then click OK.
This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector

Here are some things that I think are worth having a look at if you don't already know a bout them:.

Spybot Search and Destroy
Download it from here. Just choose a mirror and off you go.
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spybot properly here

SpyWare Blaster
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Blaster here

WinPatrol
Download it from here
Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here

FireTrust SiteHound
You can find information and download it from here

MVPS Hosts File from here
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.
Find Tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

Please check out Tony Klein's article "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Read some information here how to prevent Malware.

I'd be grateful if you could reply to this post so that I know you have read it and, if you've no other questions, the thread can be closed.

Happy safe surfing! :bigthumb:

Thanks so much for all your help.

I have deleted the items from my desktop and ran OTC. I still have a bunch of logs/reports and icons for Combofix,, erunt, jre.6u22 (Java), atregopy and mbam setup, in a folder on my desktop, can I just delete all those or need to remove them?

MBAM, I plann on keeping this program, beleive you suggested it was a good one for malware. Do I continue to run my normal AVG, CCcleaner, Spybot and Adaware? And just add MBAM to the mix, or should i add/delete any programs to my weekly checks? Dont want to over or under do....

I did the disable and enable system restore.

I ran OSI from the secunia site, found updates need for itunes, quicktime, MSN mess, adobe flashplayer(s). I ran itunes update, now my itouch isnt being id'd by the found new hardware : (
I dont use MSN for email, do I need to update? update adobe??

I currently use spybot, about the other links you suggested, do i need to download/run these as well or current setup good.

again thanks for the help and sorry for all the added ???'s.

Looking forwad to trying the camera restore prog, hope to get some pics/vids back off my mem card.

it is "good idea" to add MBAM your "weekly checks" (it is not necessary to remove other programs)
about the other links you suggested, do i need to download/run these as well or current setup good.
Click to expand...
not need, you have enough security programs..........it is just my recommendation
