Answer» I rum hijack this on my dad's pc and came across this: My dad is the same as me- not a ligit windows xp. Can't get microsoft downloads. That is security breach number one and will never be removed unless you obtain a legal copy. You might want to use http://merijn.org/files/bholist.zip]this program. I doubt it can tell you wheter it is a legal BHO or not, though. Read this as well. shell26.......Run another hijackthis scan and post it here so we can tell you what to remove . the 02 entry you listed above is bad it has to be removed . dl65 Quote O2 - BHO: (no name) - {016235BE-59D4-4CEB-ADD5-E2378282A1D9} - C:\Program Files\CxtPls\cxtpls.dll (file missing) Just delete to 02 entry, it's calling for a file that isn't there anyway. If in doubt, have a look C:\Program Files\CxtPls\cxtpls.dll and see if it's there.here is my dad's log file as requested: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 10:00:52, on 09/09/2005 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\LEXBCES.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\LEXPPS.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgamsvr.exe C:\Program Files\Thomson\SpeedTouch USB\Dragdiag.exeC:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgupsvc.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgcc.exe C:\Program Files\BullGuard Software\BullGuard 5.0\BullGuardUpdate.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgemc.exe C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zlclient.exe C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton Utilities\NPROTECT.EXE C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe C:\Program Files\SpeedTouch\Dr SpeedTouch\drst.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\Webroot\Spy Sweeper\SpySweeper.exe C:\Program Files\BullGuard Software\BullGuard 5.0\BullGuard.exe C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\SPEEDD~1\nopdb.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wdfmgr.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZONELABS\vsmon.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\alg.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe C:\DOCUME~1\Mike\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 2 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exeR1 -

I would suggest D/L and installing : Ad-aware SE http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html SpyBot Search and Destroy http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,22262,00.asp Microsoft Antispyware Beta (excellant) http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx Next , I note there is a number of anti VIRUS programs installed on the pc .......... you should really only use one ..........sometimes they do not interact with each other very well ........so more isn't better . I see Norton , AVG and Bullguard . The same thing applies to Firewalls ..... I see Norton , Bullguard and Zone Alarm. If any of those are outdated .....remove them using the Add/Remove function in the control panel. Note.....there is also a firewall in XP sp2 ..... If you are using another firewall turn the Windows one off . let us know how you make out. dl65 Why are you posting your log file? You can remove any entry there by using the following programs: Virus scanners AVG Free -- Anti virus scanner Trend Micro Housecall -- Online anti virus scanner. Anti spy/malware Microsoft Antispyware -- Anti spyware scanner. Windows XP Home and Professional only. Spybot Search & Destroy -- Anti spyware scanner Adaware SE Personal -- Anti spyware scanner Firewalls Use both a hardware and software firewall. Be advised as dual software firewalls may cause problems ZoneAlarm Free -- Free firewall - more user friendly Sygate Personal -- Free firewall - more configuration options Removal tools The following files are not substitutes for the ones described above. They are either diagnostic tools or removal tools for malware of a certain kind HijackThis -- Manual malware remover. Post the HijackThis log generated only if requested! McAfee Stinger -- Virus removal tool. No substitute for a fully functional virus scanner! CWshredder -- CoolWebSearch removal tool. Widely known and persistant Hijacker. There is no NEED to do it manually. Unless a certain type of malware is persistent. |
