Someone has taken over!! HJT log attached, please look over.

scrumptous

I've ran Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. I've got some major problems (they are major to me). There are things on my computer that I have no idea where they came from. I posted a thread earlier, but never heard from it, so I closed it. I posted it in the wrong forum and someone moved it. After browsing through the site here, I downloaded Mozilla to use as my browser. Could some of the things have come from that? The computer freezes up a lot. I don't know what I've done, but it's screwed to hell and back. When I see what's running in the Task Manager, I am so confused. There's more in there than I've ever seen. My computer has gone crazy. I have to keep doing control alt delete to get the computer to even boot up to the desk top. Please help! Attached is my HJT log.

Thanks,
Whitney

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

scrumptous

I cringe at the thought of rebooting my system!!! I have so much trouble getting it to boot up and connecting. But, I'll be brave and do it. lol There is so much crap on my computer that I've never seen before. Any idea where it came from????
I couldn't find some of the items listed. I'll reboot in safe mode and search for them there. When I get this tempermental machine booted again, I'll run another HJT and post the new log. Thanks for the quick reply and all the help so far.

I'll be back.....

scrumptous

OMGosh!!! The computer actually rebooted without me having to mentally curse the thing out! You're my HERO! Before, I had 2 popup screens that I had never seen before. Both had to do with a VCMAIN.EXE debugger. Now, the computer is booting up better and those pop up screens didn't pop up. There were a couple of folders and files that I couldn't find, even in safe mode. Also, in the HJT log, there were a few things I couldn't find. I already had SpywareBlaster loaded, so I did the updates. I'm attaching a new HJT log. Any other help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Whitney

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {02EE5B04-F144-47BB-83FB-A60BD91B74A9} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\SURFSIDEKICK 3\SSKBHO.DLL (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SurfSideKick 3] C:\PROGRAM FILES\SURFSIDEKICK 3\Ssk.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SurfSideKick 3] C:\PROGRAM FILES\SURFSIDEKICK 3\Ssk.exe

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SURFSIDEKICK 3

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

I've ran HJT and scanned. I checked and fix the 3 items you listed. I went to add/remove to uninstall surfsidekick and it's not there. I've also looked in the files and folders and can't find it. I rebooted in safe mode and still couldn't find surfsidekick in any folders or file. I've attached a new HJT. The computer is working so much better.

Thanks,
Whit

Crunchie

Here you go scrumptous Whitney .

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

===============

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D.
Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.


Clear your Temp folders.
Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.
Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

Happy surfing,

Thanks for all your help, Crunchie!!! Cute name by the way.

I've already downloaded mozilla and using it for my browser. Will check out your signature and the firewall. I had, at one time, the McAfee Anit-Virus loaded, but I don't know if I loaded it correctly. My computer acted strange after I installed it, so I uninstalled it. I know...bad bad bad. When deleting the items in the c:\windows\temp folder, there is an icon there (redrvmon) that won't let me delete. also a tmp file (df2f35) that won't delete either. What to do about that? I have both Ad-aware and Spybot S&D on my computer and have started running them more frequently.

Thanks again for all your help! I'm sure I'll be back. I love this site!! Keep up the good work.

Some files in the temp folders will be in use, so will not delete. Not a problem really. You can, if you wish, delete them in safe mode. You may want to try CCleaner for deleting your temp files.

Download CCleaner and install, then run it.

1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
3. Close when finished.

I've installed and run CCleaner. It didn't take long at all. Is that normal? Computer running extremely slow taking forever to read what I want it to do...slower than it has been. I'll not complain too much. At least it's up and running.

Thanks again, Crunchie, for all your help!

Yes, that's ok .
Try taking some of these from the startup folder to help with your speed problem'

C:\Tools_95\IMGICON.EXE
C:\Tools_95\IOWATCH.EXE
C:\Tools_95\IMGSTART.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE
C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqthb08.exe
C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqtra08.exe

Just right click on each and select delete.

These can be stopped from running within their own preferences.

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\QTTASK.EXE
C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe

You can also use Spybot to stop unwanted programs from running all the time. Go into the tools menu and locate the startup on the left hand side. Uncheck the ones I listed.

Where would I go to delete these items from the startup menu?

Crunchie

This is the path on my PC, yours should be very similar.

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Or you may be able to get to it by going to the Start button then All Programs and going in to the startup folder.

Thanks Crunchie, for all your help. Computer is running better than it was. I can reboot now without wanting to smash it. I'm sure I'll be back. Keep up the great work here. It's a great sight with so much helpful information!

Thanks again!
