hello, here is the first log, which showed up infected items, and i will put up the latest log. the internet explorer window / or firefox window might open 10 - 15 windows one after the other. It often happens using MS outlook. Are some other network popups that keep appearing, but none as bad as the first problem

Hi,

Apologies for the delay.

The HijackThis log looks clean. Let me know if the problem is still present.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, been off for a few days. The computer seems to be ok, thank you very much. I am running avast and spybot search and destroy. Are these enough to protect the computer ?

Thanks again,
Regards
Tom

Trogan

Yes, those are OK. Let me know if I can help with anything else or close this thread.

Yes you can close this thread, and thanks very much for all you help.

You're welcome!

Now that your system is clean, kindly follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

You may already have some of the following programs, but I include the full list for the benefit of all the other people who will be reading this thread in the future.
(Vista users must ensure that any programs are Vista compatible BEFORE installing )


Online Scanners
I would recommend a scan at one or more of the following sites at least once a month.

http://www.pandasecurity.com/activescan
http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/71706/kavwebscan.html

!!! Make sure that all your programs are updated !!!
Secunia Software Inspector does all the work for you, .... see HERE for details

AntiSpyware

• AntiSpyware is not the same thing as Antivirus.
  Different AntiSpyware programs detect different things, so in this case it is recommended that you have more than one.
  You should only have one running all the time, the other/s should be used "on demand" on a regular basis.
  Most of the programs in this list have a free (for Home Users ) and paid versions,
  it is worth paying for one and having "realtime" protection, unless you intend to do a manual scan often.
  
  
  
• Spybot - Search & Destroy <<< A must have program
  
  • It includes host protection and registry protection
    
  • A hosts file is a bit like a phone book, it points to the actual numeric address (i.e. the IP address) from the human friendly name of a website. This feature can be used to block malicious websites
    
  
  
  
• MalwareBytes Anti-malware <<< A new and effective program
  
• a-squared Free <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner
  
• SUPERAntiSpyware <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner
  

Prevention

• These programs don't detect malware, they help stop it getting on your machine in the first place.
  Each does a different job, so you can have more than one
  
  
  
• Winpatrol
  
  • An excellent startup manager and then some !!
    
  • Notifies you if programs are added to startup
    
  • Allows delayed startup
    
  • A must have addition
    
  
  
  
  
• SpywareBlaster 4.0
  
  • SpywareBlaster sets killbits in the registry to prevent known malicious activex controls from installing themselves on your computer.

Windows Updates (a must!)
It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. You can either click on the link above and bookmark the updates page, or open Internet Explorer, then go to the Tools menu -> Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there


Internet Browsers

• Microsoft has worked hard to make IE.7 a more secure browser, unfortunately whilst it is still the leading browser of choice it will always be under attack from the bad guys.
  Using a different web browser can help stop malware getting on your machine.
  
  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    
    1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
       
    2. Click once on the Security tab
       
    3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
       
    4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
       
       • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
         
       • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
         
       • Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
         
       • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
         
       • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
         
       • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
         
       • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
         
       • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
         
       
       
       
    5. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
       
  
  
  If you are still using IE6 then either update, or get one of the following.
  
  
  
  • FireFox
    
    • With many addons available that make customization easy this is a very popular choice
      
    • NoScript and AdBlockPlus addons are essential
      
    
    
    
    
  • Opera
    
    • Another popular alternative
      
    
    
    
    
  • Netscape
    
    • Another popular alternative
      
    • Also has Addons available
      

Cleaning Temporary Internet Files and Tracking Cookies

• Temporary Internet Files are mainly the files that are downloaded when you open a web page.
  Unfortunately, if the site you visit is of a dubious nature or has been hacked, they can also be an entry point for malware.
  It is a good idea to empty the Temporary Internet Files folder on a regular basis.
  
  Tracking Cookies are files that websites use to monitor which sites you visit and how often.
  A lot of Antispyware scanners pick up these tracking cookies and flag them as unwanted.
  CAUTION :- If you delete all your cookies you will lose any autologin information for sites that you visit, and will need your passwords
  
  Both of these can be cleaned manually, but a quicker option is to use a program
  
• ATF Cleaner
  
  • Free and very simple to use
    
  
  
  
  
• CCleaner
  
  • Free and very flexible, you can chose which cookies to keep

The last and most important thing I can tell you is UPDATE.
If you don't update your security programs (Antivirus, Antispyware even Windows) then you are at risk.
Malware changes on a day to day basis. You should update every week at the very least.

If you follow this advice then (with a bit of luck) you will never have to hear from me again
