[solved]AIM imageshack trojan

Unknown
edited September 2006 in Spyware & Virus Removal
i was on AIM a few days ago and a friend infected with this virus sent me a link that i clicked on and i have now inherited this virus. my computer now sends this link to others on my buddy list frequently. Pop ups constantly show up on my computer screen. Also everytime i start my computer a black box comes up and asks me to ignore or close the program. how do i remove this trojan?

    Hi scndancer17, Welcome to Short-Media! :)

    Please do the following:
    1. Please download AIMFix and save the file to your desktop
    2. Close all programs and windows, especially AIM
    3. You should have a file called AIMFix on your desktop - Open it
    4. Once opened, AIMFix should start scanning automatically - Do not do anything!
    5. Follow the instructions at the end
    6. A text document called AIMFix will be created on your desktop. Please post that here.
    =====

    Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
    Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
    • Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
    • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
    • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the "Select Addition Tasks" dialogue.
    • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
    • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
    • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
    • Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
    • Copy and paste the log here
    DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

    Hi scndancer17! Your logs are clean, just some updating to do...

    Viewpoint Manager (Remove Only)
    Viewpoint Media Player
    Viewpoint Toolbar V35 (Remove Only)

    Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update to the latest version...

    Updating Java:
    • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 8.
    • Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications."
    • Click the "Download" button to the right.
    • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement."
    • The page will refresh.
    • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
    • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
    • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove the following...
      • J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
    • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
    • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-1_5_0_08-windowsi586-p.exe to install the newest version.

    Your welcome! :)

    You can delete AIMFix as its not needed anymore.

    Here are some measures you can take to stay more secure online:

    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.

    Use a firewall to help prevent your PC(s) from being usurped by undesireables. If you don't have a Firewall, then choose one from the list here

    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. If you don't have an Anti-Virus program, choose one from the list here

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

    Install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard

    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.
    Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options.
    Under the General tab click the Delete Files... button; check the Delete all offline content box and press OK. Next, click the Delete Cookies... button and press OK

    Go to "Start" -> "Run" and type in the box: "cleanmgr" press OK. Select the drive where your Operating System is installed (Default is C:) and press OK. Let Disk Cleanup scan your system for files to remove (it takes a few minutes!). On the next screen make sure these 3 options are checked
    • Temporary Files
    • Temporary Internet Files
    • Recycle Bin
    and then press "OK" to remove:

    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 from within the following folders:
    C:\Windows\temp
    C:\temp <-- if you have one.
    Note: Empty the contents but do not delete the folder(s).

    Clear out temp files from the following location. Change "username" to whatever you have on your computer.
    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!

    Hide system files
    It is very important that system files and folders are hidden again, so that they DO NOT get deleted by mistake. To hide system files and folders, do the following for your operating system...

    Windows XP
    * Click Start.
    * Open My Computer.
    * Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    * Select the View Tab.
    * Under the Hidden files and folders heading, uncheck Do not show hidden files and folders
    * Check the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.


    For XP users.
    It's a good idea to Flush your System Restore points after ridding yourself of malware: You can clean this by doing the following:
    • Click Start | Help and Support | Undo changes to your computer with System Restore.
    • Click Create A Restore Point then click Next. Give it a name it and then click Create, then Close.
    • Close the Help and Support Center box.
    • Click Start | Run and type Cleanmgr
    • Select (C: ) then click OK.
    • Click the More Options tab.
    • Click Clean Up in the System Restore Section.
    This will remove all previous restore points except the newly created one.
