Hi sonia_555; welcome to DaniWeb :)

There are two things you need to take of before we dive into your log:

1. C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 3 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe

The log entry above indicates that you are running HijackThis from within a Temp/Temporary folder. Please do the following:

Create a folder for HJT outside of any Temp/Temporary folders and move the HijackThis.exe file to that folder now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if HijackThis (and other data that you care about) is living in those Temp folders, it will be erased along with everything else!
Temp/Temporary folders are just that- Temporary. They are not meant for permanent storage, as their contents are often delete in the course of troubleshooting, by running disk clean-up utilities, etc.

2. The HijackThis log you posted does indicate that you have a couple of infections (which we can help you remove), but what you posted isn't the full contents of your log. Tthere is some important header information missing from the beginning of the log; you can compare yours with some of the other logs that have been posted to see what I mean.

Please move HJT to a proper folder, run another scan, and post the entire contents of the new log.

Your log shows signs of a couple of malicious entities; please do the following:

You will need to disconnect from the Internet for some of the following, so you'll need to print out the following instructions, or save them into a text file with Notepad.

1. Download and install these utilities (but do not run scans with them yet):

ewido Security Suite (trial version) - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

- Open ewido. In the main screen, click "Update" and click "Start Update". After the update process completes, exit from Ewido.

- Open MS Antispyware beta. Make sure the "AntiSpyware Autoupdater" feature is enabled, and that it has downloaded the most current antispyware updates. Close the program after you've verified this.

- Open your anti-virus program and use its update feature to make sure that you have the most current virus definitions installed. As with the above programs, don't run a scan with it; just close it once it is updated.

2. Download and install the Cleanup! utility, but don't run it yet.

3. Close all open programs, run HijackTHis again, put a check mark in the boxes to the left of the following entries, and then hit the "Fix checked" button:

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {12C41435-D5D2-A37C-DD5B-DD7F136DD5EC} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\olhb.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {12C41435-D5D2-A37C-DD5B-DD7F136DD5EC} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\olhb.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_03\bin\jusched.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Notn] "C:\Program Files\apsi\wtta.exe" -vt ndrv

4. Reboot into Safe Mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up).

5. Run CleanUP! It may take a while for the program to perform its cleaning, so be patient. Close the program when it has finished.

6. Run ewido, MS Antispyware beta, and you A-V program consecutively; have the programs fix all malicious items they find.

When ewido finds the first malicious object on your system, it will ask you if it should clean it. When it asks this, put a checkmark in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections", then choose clean and click OK.
Save the log file that ewido will create after it finishes scanning; you'll be including that log in your next post here.

7. Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- Search for the following file and delete it if found:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\olhb.dll

- Delete this folder entirely:

C:\Program Files\apsi

8. Empty your Recycle Bin, reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post the new log. Also post the log that ewido generated.

1. C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 2 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe

Odd- the above log entry indicates that you seem to have run HijackThis from a temp folder again. How many copies of HJT do you have in that computer??

2. Ewido detected and cleaned one element of the "PurityScan" infection, but judging from a couple of entries in your latest HJT log, I don't think it got the entire infection. Please do the following:

* Run the PurityScan uninstaller.

* Visit at least two of the following sites for an online virus scan:

BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php
Make sure you tick AutoClean under Scan Options.

Panda ActiveScan
http://www.pandasoftware.com/active...n_principal.htm
Make sure you tick Disinfect automatically under Scan Options.

Housecall at TrendMicro
http://housecall60.trendmicro.com/e...orp.asp?id=scan
Make sure you tick Auto Clean.

eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx

* Run HijackThis again, put a check in the box to the left of the following two entries, and then hit the "Fix checked" button (note that the entries might not appear in the new scan; the above utilities may already have removed one or both of them):

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E5130262-9D84-E770-855F-C83EC75026E0} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\wjl.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Aktm] C:\WINDOWS\system32\??stem32\wowexec.exe

* Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

Navigate to your C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder and look inside of it. If you find a folder within the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder which is also named "system32", or possibly named "??stem32", delete that folder entirely. Be VERY careful not to delete the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder itself!!! If you have any questions at all about this, ask us before performing the deletion.

* Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot normally.

4. Run HijackThis again and post the new log.

and the outerinfo unistaller really worked...i also have a few pops up from Z1.adonserver...(not sure abt. the spelling..)

DMR 152 Wombat At Large Team Colleague · Answer 4 · 2006-02-14T13:43:44+00:00

1. Your log is clean now :)

2. The Z1.adserver.com popups (and others) can sometimes be difficult to stop, as they aren't necessarilly delivered by an infection living on your computer, but are instead delivered by/through web pages you visit. Here are some things you can do minimize such annoyances:

A) Download and install SpyWareBlaster. Make sure to use the program's online update function fairly frequently.

B) Download and install IE-Spyad.

C) Use Mozilla Firefox as your Web browser instead of using Internet Explorer. Among other benefits, Firefox has a built-in popup blocker.

D) Install a specially-modified "hosts" file to block many of the known Internet ad servers. An explanation of this method and a link to a good, freely-downloadable hosts file can be found here.

I just have a few questions about all the things I have downloaded
EWIDO security
Microsoft anti-spyware beta
CLEANUP!
AD-AWARE
SPYBOT
AVG FREE
SPYWARE-blaster
M.firebox
OiUninstaller

Should I keep all of these installed in my computer and use them regularly?
Will this make my computer slow? (cause of all the protection on the computer?)
Should I just stop using Internet Exp. and start using M. firebox?

THANKS for all your help...!

DMR 152 Wombat At Large Team Colleague · Answer 6 · 2006-02-15T13:31:21+00:00

You're welcome; glad we could help :)

Should I keep all of these installed in my computer and use them regularly? Will this make my computer slow? (cause of all the protection on the computer?)

EWIDO security - The main portions of the program will still function after the trial period, but the automatic update and real-time protection features will stop working. I would suggest keeping ewido installed, as it is a very good antispyware utility, and can still be manually updated and used for system scans even after the trial expires.

Microsoft anti-spyware beta - Keep it. In addition to doing a good job of scanning for and removing "unwanted guests", it also provides real-time protection against questionable and/or unauthorized changes to your system.

CLEANUP! - I'd keep it around, as it's a good idea to run a program like Cleanup! periodically to clean out temp files, cookies, and the like which accumulate in the normal course of using the computer.

AD-AWARE and SpyBot- Both of these programs used to be recommended "must-haves" in terms of adware/spyware removal, but unfortunately they have both fallen behind other utilities in terms of their abilities to deal with some of the newer, more "crafy" infections. It doesn't hurt to keep them installed though, as they do detect and remove a pretty large number of malicious programs.

AVG FREE - A good anti-virus program is an absolute must, and that's exactly what AVG is. Keep it.

SpywareBlaster - You should keep SpywareBlaster installed and updated. The program applies restrictions to certain areas of Windows and Internet Explorer which are, when left in their default configurations, known to be susceptible to exploitation by malicious programs. In other words, SpywareBlaster can limit the control that spyware can gain over your system, or even block the spyware from installing itself in the first place.

Firefox - Many of the malware programs in circulation today abuse what were orginally meant to be helpful "features" of Internet Explorer (Browser Helper Objects, Browser Extensions, and ActiveX controls, for example) in order to install themselves and gain control over various aspects of your system. Given that Internet Explorer is actually an integral part of the Windows operating system itself, you can see why this is a Bad Thing.
The features and functions of third-party web browsers like Firefox or Opera do not rely on the same mechanisms that IE uses, and because of that they are less prone (or even immune) to infection by the malicious programs which are designed to take advantage of known "loopholes" in Internet Explorer's underlying program code/structure. This situation will almost certainly change as browsers such as Firefox grow in popularity (and therefore become more of a worthwhile target for malicious programmers), but the simple fact is that Firefox is currently a safer bet.

OiUninstaller - This is an uninstaller written specifically for removing the PurityScan "product". It serves no broader purpose in terms of spyware removal, so you don't need to keep it.

In terms of putting any added load on your computer (memory and/or CPU usage), most of the above programs won't, as they aren't doing anything unless you're actively running them. In terms of Firefox, many people say that it feels to them to be "snappier" than IE, and that's been my particular experience as well. Mileage obviously varies between different system configurations, though.

For the other programs:

MS Antispyware: The real-time monitoring component of this program does run whenever Windows is running, so yes- it uses some of your system resources. You will probably also notice at least a bit of a lag when its "automatic update" feature fires off and goes online to check for/download updates. The slight performance hit is more than offset by the program's usefulness in my opinion.

SpyBot: There are two features of SpyBot called TeaTimer and SDHelper, which provide "active" protection for certain aspects of IE and your overall system settings. If enabled, both of these functions will install small background components which use a small percentage of your resources.

AVG: Being an anti-virus program, AVG obviously needs to be running all the time, and therefore it will use system resources. However, as AV programs go, the load it puts on your system is much less than that of a package like Norton or McAfee.
