I think we need a little more info. What device is being marked with the yellow triangle with ! in it? Maybe post a screen print of Device Manager?

Or, are talking about something else, a yellow triangle with ! in it in some program? .... What?srry it was in the task bar i just woke up and was *er - we don't need to know that*Hi

You have a spywarequake infection and the log shows smitfraud as well.

First go here and run through the removal instructions ....

After that post a fresh HJT log AND an update on how your computer is operating now.


OJi thought i had smitfraud

The log is clean now apart from Limewire and a couple of HJT entries.

However, despite my request, you didn't say how your computer is operating now. We see things in logs but sometimes cannot be certain all is well unless you tell us. Remember .... HJT does NOT reveal all malware (contrary to popular belief). Far from it, in fact.

Please LET us know.

I personally do not support illegal downloading using programs like Limewire but that is your choice. There are dangers in such activities.

Many of the P2P programmes themselves come bundled with malware/spyware. But, say the prog itself is clean, the downloads may not be. P2P is a great WAY for malware writers to get mass distribution for their wares. There are some LEGIT pay-per-song SITES that are clean and if you want to download music then those are the places to go. Other than that my view is it's just not worth the risk.

If you want to remove it then go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall from there.

As to the two HJT entries .... open HJT .... click on scan .... put tick/check marks next to both these entries IF they are still present.....

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {84938242-5C5B-4A55-B6B9-A1507543B418} - (no file)



Remember to close all open browser windows - including this one - before clicking on "Fix Checked" at the foot of the HJT window.


Please post back to let us know how things are working now.


OJits good... the limewire is my roommatesIn my view your roommate isn't doing you any favours messing with LimeWire on the machine. It's almost bound to foul up at some point and could easily result in a messed up computer. Like I said ... if I were you I'd get rid of it.

Otherwise ... glad to hear all is well again.

If you are certain the machine has no more trouble you should clear out all old System Restore points then immediately create a new one so you have something to fall back on should anything go awry again. Also remember to make SR points on a regular basis.

More on System Restore ...

http://www.help2go.com/Tutorials/Protect_Your_PC/Avoid_Web_Browser_Hijackers.html

There is a little duplication but these tutorials are both well worth reading.

If you do suffer an infection again you should run first Ccleaner to clean out your system. Get Ccleaner here but ensure you install it WITHOUT the optional YAHOO Toolbar download (you must untick/uncheck the relevant box on download) …
