3 things:

1. wrong forum
2. no nasties
3. no firewall

I am an idiot?

1. This is "troubleshooting dead machines" forum, as NOT Spyware and other Nasties.
2. Copy-paste that log to hijackthis site yourself and see what it says.
3. Guess what's the only warning you get....YOU DON'T HAVE A FIREWALL.

Who's the idiot here, idiot?

Sorry! I am just frustrated. I have been trying to get rid of this thing for 3 weeks now. I have tried hijackthis and it didn't work. Somebody keeps getting into my computer and changing my file sharing settings. I then have to put my retore disk in (not being connected to the internet) and totally restore my computer to factorys settings. I then run spy eraser and it shows (trojan-dropper.ack, Wildtangent and a few other things). I am lost!!

Sorry Again!

Wildtagent is adware... not dangerous. Comes with allot of software.

I know that some so-called spyware removal softwares actually PUT the trojan in and "catch it", like, no other prog. would find it and you would be compelled to buy that product... a commercial trick. I'm not saying that spy eraser is such trojan, but I'm not too eager to test it. You should try more stuff, like BitDefender, NOD32 or such.

Anyway, if hijackthis log comes clean, than it probably is, since it is not anti-nasties prog. It only generates a list of active programs and some registry entries.

BTW No prob.. I apologize too.... and DO use the firewall... It is made to stop trojans.

One more thing... If you use limewire or any other P2P file sharing software, then it is possible that you downloaded a trojan there. Especially with limewire. What they do is track the words that you are searching for and rename the trojan so it would look like the file you are searching for. Once, I executed such prog by mistake and had ALLOT of trouble cleaning the system of all the trojans that popped out of it.

One way of manually cleaning the system is to open the windows folder (in folder options set to show hidden files and not to protect the system files) and look for any exe that seems out of place. There shouldn't be many exe files. My win folder has 38. What you are looking for is exe without icon (just a blue square, default exe icon) and 1 - 100 KB of size. Typically, all widows exe files have allot of info attached to them, such as file version, company name, language, original filename and such. Trojans do not, or have very little. That info is shown in the file's properties. That is one 99% certain way to tell the trojan


Also, empty the temp folders (one in Windows folder and one in documents and settings/(your account)/local settings/temp). Chances are that the trojan is in one of those. If it is active, and according to the log it isn't, then it would be locked. Way to get it unlocked is to boot to safe mode and delete that exe.

If you find any suspicious file, you can easily google it and see what comes up.
Also, during my trouble, there was one exe file that was obscured from windows explorer, regardless of my settings (set to show everything.. hidden and core files). I managed to see it only by other file manager (MS-DOS based Norton commander).


If you find trojan, look for removal procedure on the net. There always is some registry entry that triggers the trojan. That entry has to be removed too. If you do not find the removal procedure, do this:
In start/run window type regedit.
Press ctrl+f and copy/paste the filename and search for it. Make sure that the search extends to values, keys and data.
There should be at least one entry containing that filename (and not in the HKEY/*******/software/Microsoft/windows/current version/run" key, 'coz it would be too convenient). Trojans like to use services and explorer's plug ins as the back door to your system.

If you are not certain about deleting registry entry (and beware, there is no undo/undelete nor recycle bin in the registry) feel free to post the questions, and if possible, the exported reg file containing the questionable entry.
