Hello everyone, this is my first post on these most helpful forums. I just wish it could be under nicer circumstances.
My dad has a fairly old PC (AMD 1300 or abouts) running WinXP, and it has contracted the hacktool.rootkit virus. I did a bit of research to fix the problem and stumbled upon a thread in these forums named "hacktool.rootkit virus on WinXP" which proved very informative.
The system has all the same symptoms as described in the previous thread, i.e. Norton AV continually (15-30 secs) reports messages about infected files in the windows/system32 folder.
I have installed updated and run both Ad-aware and Sybot:S&D. Performed full checks with Norton AV and about 3 other online scans (all recommended from this site) and have installed the Zonelabs firewall (I know the firewall won't fix the problem but I got it out of the way while i was installing other stuff ;)).
However, I have had no luck whatsoever in removing the little blighter.
The Trend Micro scan showed the following viruses on the system:
- TROJ_ROOTKIT.H
- WORM_RBOT.AQM
Following 4 hours last night of installing, scanning, checking files and reading forums I decided to ask for help.
Finally I installed HJT, performed a scan and saved the log (which I've pasted below).
Any and all help on this matter is much appreciated people, both me and my dad are getting quite tired of this little devil of a virus. :sad:
Thanks again,
Dave.
