Can I get a new HijackThis log, and ask if your computer is still experiencing problems?

[fauskie]

Computer seems to be running normally. I'm able to do everything I was prior to infection, I just don't get on the internet as much except to check this site as I uninstalled McAfee. Do you have any recommendations for free anti-virus programs and anti-spyware/malware programs?
Thanks for all your help, you did one he!! of a job!

Please go here to run the Norton removal tool; http://service1.syma...n...v=&osv_lvl=

I would recommend either Avast, Antivir, or AVG if you're looking for a good quality, stand-alone antivirus product.

I would recommend either Online Armor or PcTools Firewall Plus for a good firewall.

I would recommend either SuperAntiSpyware or MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for a good anti-spyware/anti-malware app.


Note; please ensure to only run one antivirus at a time, one firewall at a time, and one real-time spyware protection app at a time. If you have multiple real-time protection agents of the same type, they are likely to fight with one another over resources and possiblty cause system instability.


Congrats! Your logs appear clean!

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware
* Click START then RUN
* Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.


*Make sure you have an Internet Connection.
* Download OTCleanIt to your desktop and run it
* A list of tool components used in the Cleanup of malware will be downloaded.
* If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OTCleanUp to reach the Internet, please allow the application to do so.
* Click Yes to begin the Cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
* You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.


Please delete any and all tools we used in cleaning up your computer that OTCleanIt may not remove.

Below are a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

* Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
Windows Update
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.

Make Internet Explorer more secure

*Click Start > Run
* Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
* Click on the Security tab
* Click Reset all zones to default level
* Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
* In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
* Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.


* To reduce re-infection for malware in the future, I strongly recommend installing these free programs:

SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX controls.

* SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts. Make sure you are only running one real-time anti-spyware protection program or there will be a conflict.

* Take a good look at the following suggestions for malware prevention by reading Tony Klein’s article 'How Did I Get Infected In The First Place'
Here

* Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more
secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up
blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from
Here

*NoScript - Addon for Firefox that stops all scripts from running on websites. Stops malicious software from invading via flash, java, javascript, and many other entry points.

To bolster your security go to Secunia.com to ensure essential programs are up to date.

*ATF Cleaner - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.

*Keep a backup of your important files - Now, more than ever, it's especially important to protect your digital files and memories. This article is full of good information on alternatives for home backup solutions.

*ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. The standard registry backup options that come with Windows back up most of the registry but not all of it. ERUNT however creates a complete backup set, including the Security hive and user related sections. ERUNT is easy to use and since it creates a full backup, there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore if needed.

* Recovery Console - Recent trends appear to indicate that future infections will include attacks to the boot sector of the computer. The installation of the Recovery Console in the computer will be our only defense against this threat. For more information and steps to install the Recovery Console see This Article. Should you need assistance in installing the Recovery Console, please do not hesitate to ask.

Stay safe!
