cayveman,

Not a problem helping you :bigthumb: It looks like we beat both infections :bigthumb:

Double-click the FindAWF icon once again.
Use the following option: Press 4 then Enter to reset domain zones.

When the program returns to the main menu, use the following option:
Press E then Enter to EXIT.


Post hopefully one last HJT log and lets make sure nothing has come back
 
last hjt log

Well, here it is. I hope this is done. I have one more question for you. I currently have a free trial of McAfee that is about to expire. I had Norton Internet Security when this problem arose. I want internet security that is simple and effective. What do you recommend?

Thanks for all your help,
cayveman

Hello,

O23 - Service: SonyIEx - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\SonyIEx.exe This is running as a service on your system and I can't find any info on it, do you have any idea what it is. The file was uploaded for analysis on another forum and came back clean. Have you installed any Sony software or music / video CDs?

The rest of your log looks fine :bigthumb: How are things running now??
 
Sonyiex

It's the only "sony" file I have on the computer. I have no Sony appliances that I would plug into this pc. I Googled it and couldn't find anything positive on it. I would like to remove it if it doesn't have a positive purpose. If you feel the same, please let me know what I should do. Thanks
 
speed

Things are running a lot smoother. No pop-ups and no delays. I really appreciate what you've done for me. Thanks
 
Hello,

You can do this.

Remove it with HJT.
O23 - Service: SonyIEx - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\SonyIEx.exe


If it gives you issues, then you can restore it like this.

To restore the backups:
  • Open HiJackThis
  • Click on "View the list of Backups"
  • Place a check mark next to anything you want to restore
  • Click Restore
  • Click Yes
  • Reboot your computer




If after a few days all is ok and no problem removing it you can then do this.


  • Open HJT > Misc Tools > Delete an NT Service
  • Type in SonyIEx
  • Then click on OK, it will ask you to reboot, do so.


C:\WINDOWS\system32\SonyIEx.exe <-- Delete this file


Post back in a day or so and let me know how it went
 
SonyIEx

No problems found after deleting the SonyIEx file. I would still like a recommendation for an antivirus/firewall. Please le me know what you recommend, if you can. Something low maintenance. Thanks
 
Hi,

You already have Mcafee installed that includes a firewall, it looks like your all set in that department. Just remember the basic rule of thumb..ONLY ONE ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM AND ONLY ONE FIREWALL are needed, more is overkill and can slow your system down and cause you problems. If you have a router with a built in Firewall, thats fine, you can have One Software and One Hardware Firewall. My self, I use Norton Internet Security and am very happy with it. Whatever you install, remember to uninstall Mcafee first.

Here are some free ones if your interested.

Free Anti Virus Programs




A Firewall also should be installed, these are all free



You can have a few Anti Spyware Programs running, 2 or 3 are fine.

Ken
 
Safe again

Thanks again for all your help ken545. I think I'll go back to Norton, as the McAfee was just a free trial. I lost Norton when I was trying to fix this thing myself and was just using the other as a temp. I'm glad there are people like you around to help people like me.
