Answer» My DAUGHTER has a gateway laptop with XP. The sp1 has been downloaded and all updates for that. She has a big problem with the virus/worm.... BV:Malware-gen, Trojan horse, and a couple others. There is even a desktop wallpaper that takes over and appears. If you try to get rid of it it automatically sends you to the internet and a website to download a program to get rid of viruses and malicious spyware.

Solve : Avast ruined my pc? |
|
Answer» OK, so I just CALLED my pc manufacturer and they said that Avast has cleaned my whole pc off. I have nothing at all. The only way to get it back to working conditions is to recover it back to when I purchased it. Now I have to go to the shop and spend over $100 to see what they can do. This is just crazy. SORRY but Avast simply does NOT do that...ignore what the shop told you. Remove that HDD from that machine and jumper it as a slave drive and install it in a working machine preferably with the same ver. of Windows. Open Windows EXPLORER and you will probably see all your data intact. Copy and burn what you need to CD and i'd then suggest a clean re-install of XP.if you installed avast right, it shouldn't destroy your computer. So just get a new copy of the windows operating system onto your computer and it'll be fine. And install the avast or whatever programs before you do anything else then ...Quote if you installed avast rightRight, or wrong, as patio said, it couldn't have happened. BTW...how do you install program wrong?i meant if you followed all the directions right and it didn't cause you any errors anytime in between. There's no technically WRONG way to install a program but to not follow any instructions program may have been giving you.What happen was the viruses attached themselves to my regular files. So when Avast started deleting the viruses, it took the files also. I spent the whole day calling circuit city, best buy etc. asking them how to get it fixed. All of them said I am going to have to restore it back to when I first bought it and they will try to transfer my files back to it or to a new pc. Luckly, I found a pc company here that will restore my pc back to when it was last good and install the anti-virus software for $100. Everywhere else was going to charge at least $400. I wish I was as SMART as you guys then I would Remove the HDD and all that stuff but I'd rather let a professional handle it. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me though. This day has been awful.$100 is not bad...Quote from: Broni on April 18, 2008, 11:25:31 PM $100 is not bad... $100 is not bad to get a new computer or what appears to be a computer that will work fine and nobody would've ever guessed it's been used before. I would suggest to invinciblejones that he disable windows firewall and install comodo firewall. And now, that your computer is supposedly clean, I would suggest you install the anti-virus immediately and get it updated and running before you touch anything else. |

Solve : Infection? |
|
Answer» Hi Guys,
---------- Next post MBAM log NEW Hijackthis logHi, Thanks for your help. I deleted the items from Hijack This, then I did a scan using MBAM. It found quite a few things, so I had it remove everything, then did a reboot. I NOTICED that the anti virus was still finding infected files in the system restore folder, so I disabled system restore, then rebooted. I was also getting an error message when booting up: RUNDLL Error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\wldibtay.dll The specified module could not be found I'm not sure what this refers to, so I opened MSCONFIG and disabled wldibtay.dll in startup. I ran the scan with MBAM again and then scanned with Hijack This again. I have attached both MBAM logs and the new Hijack This log. Cheers Nick [recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]Hello, sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to this. If you still need help then please post a new Hijackthis log. Thanks.I think everything is SORTED on this one. Thanks for you help - I'll repost if I have any more issues with it. |

Solve : AVG Free 8.0 download problem? |
|
Answer» Hello Forum. I have tried twice to download the new AVG 8.0 Free software program from Download.com. (45.5 MB) Both times the download reached a point where it gave me an error message in a dialog box saying that " CRC failed in files.dat Unexpected end of archive " On my first attempt to download I got the message early on . After about 2 megs were downloaded. I tried again and on the 2nd attempt I got as far as 37megs downloaded before I got the same message. I have dialup so you know how long I had been downloading.( 3hours) All in vain. I am wary about uninstalling 7.5 first, since many on the AVG forum said they had done that and still could not download AVG 8.0 . They downloaded another free anti-virus program called Avast. I'm one of them. My opinion 'was' AVG and Avast were the best. I am now down to Avast. I couldn't wait to figure out why it wouldn't download. You have to have an antivirus. Look here http://www.av-comparatives.org Avast tops the list. The free version has the same detection rate and database as the Pro version so don't worry about there being any difference in the free and paid version giving you protection. Stay away from McAfee, or Norton. No, you don't have to uninstall 7.5, while downloading 8.0. Yes, you have to uninstall 7.5, before installing 8.0. Avast is very good program. I'm considering switching to it, if AVG won't fix their problem by the end of the month.Hello Forum. Thanks for all your replies and help. Here is what I did. I went to majorgeeks.com as advised. I downloaded and saved AVG 8.0(45.5 mb) to desktop. It downloaded without any problem. No error messages as twice before. Then I opened it and ran it from desktop. It completely installed without a hitch. (miracle?)At that point AVG 7.5 disappeared from system tray and Windows could not locate it with its flashlight. I presume the 8.0 installer must have uninstalled it. I LOOKED in program list and 7.5 folder was there but it had 0 bytes. It is now in recycle bin. AVG 8.0 is now entered on program list. All OK so far. I downloaded the latest updates etc. and ran 8.0. It took 45 min to scan the whole computer. It did find 199 items including 5 or 6 Trojans. I never got a warning about Trojans with 7.5. So..I will play it by ear for now. If I have any problems I will go to Avast as you have recommended. Again, thanks for all your help. It is appreciated.Thats quite a few items to be found and could explain why you were having problems installing it to start with. You could post a HJT log so we can make sure everything nasty is actually gone. Download and rename HijackThis (HJT)

Exit Hijackthis. --------- You have Viewpoint installed. Viewpoint Media Player/Manager/Toolbar is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". See Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware It is suggested to remove the program now. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.
Once you have downloaded ViewpointKiller, unzip it to a convenient location such as your desktop. Run ViewpointKiller, and select File > Do All Killings Follow the prompts, selecting Yes or No, depending on which selection you are most comfortable with. A logfile will be created in the folder you unzipped ViewpointKiller to, please paste the contents here. Let me know how everything is now. Broni: Thanks for reply. I ran HJT "System Scan Only". found the specific entry and deleted it. Also went to 'Add/Remove Programs' and found ' Viewpoint Manager' and 'Viewpoint Media Player'. Removed both. No other Viewpoint programs were listed. Did not yet download 'Viewpoint Killer' program. Presume it is not necessary now. If it is necessary to view logfile, let me know and I will download Killer and copy the log file and paste it here. Thanks again for your help. BillNot necessary to post the log as long as the uninstall went OK. One more thing. Use the Secunia Software Inspector

Solve : How to turn on AVG Free Edition Antivirus?? |
|
Answer» I just installed AVG Free Edition antivirus on my SYSTEM and I'm not able to "turn on" AVG antivirus..How do I do it?? Where is that option??...This is the first time I'm using it...Pls see the snapshot of it..... You should see an icon in your systray, like this: That is what you should see normally but if not... click start button on the bottom-left of the screen, hover over where it says "All Programs". A menu should slide to the right, and if you're up-to-date then just hover over where it says AVG 7.5. A smaller menu should appear then you just click on "AVG CONTROL Center." This should get it working if the AVG is properly installed and it's just a matter of the AVG not being started.Hi all, Thanx for your replies....The problem got solved...It was due to an expired installation package that I used for installation...Again I download it and installed..Now its working properly....Hurry......

If no go, go for Avast, because I'm sick, and tired of these AVG problems. This is what I did on Vista.Thanks anyway ,no go with 8 so went back to avg 7.5 for now ,if you have any second thoughts i will be lurking, CheersThis is what I initially did (went back to 7.5), when I wasn't able to install 8.0. Maybe AVG will release some update, because there is a lot of problems around the net with 8.0 installation, |

Answer» Good evening gentlemen,
---------- . Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
Here are some great tools to help you keep from getting infected again. To prevent unknown applications from being installed on your computer install WinPatrol 2007 Another thing I would suggest installing SiteAdvisor. SiteAdvisor rates sites on business practices and spam. UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!! - If you do not have automatic updates enabled then visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. * Help with Windows updates Learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this article by Tony Klien: So how did I get infected in the first place? Let us know if anything else comes up.Hi Evil and thanks for your reply, I followed all of your suggestions. Deleted O20 - Winlogon Notify: WinNt32 - WinNt32.dll (file missing) entry and actually that entry did cause me a certain amount of interest however, I couldn't find any pertinant information regarding the .dll so I left it alone. Upon attempting to use the cleanup command in run, defrag started (), no options tab was shown (Only English commands will work in the German command console,I believe thats the same for every Windows foreign language versions ). Perhaps there is a small difference? A tip from you here would be helpful as the rootkit deleted all of my restore points and set a new one. That alone causes some anxiety. The other info you posted is also usefull. I know for example, exactly how, where and why the rootkit was installed on my pc: My own stupidity! I broke my own rules for downloading or viewing information on the internet and paid for it. Four days of work lost for moment of unattentiveness. This forum is very interesting indeed. Thanks for your help! ~SAF-B If removing the WinNt32.dll caused problems I apologize. Do you mean that system restore no longer works?No, no! No need to apologise. You're right on the money! I removed the entry without any problems. Initially, I found the WinNt32.dll to be interesting because I thought it didn't belong , however, I couldn't find any information on the internet regarding the situation with my pc. So I didn't remove it. I removed the entry with no NEGATIVE or noticeable effects. The system restore is in fact working. Oddly, all of my system restore points before April 27th 2008 are "missing" or are not being shown. Only April 27th 2008 which obviously contains the rootkit. So I'm assuming this "rootkit" hid or deleted my previous system restore points. ( I believe I have this XP pro version running since 2004 ) I followed your instructions this morning: Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore Select Create a restore point, and click Next. That worked fine and did in fact create a restore point Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr Select the More options tab Next to System Restore click Clean up... After typing in "cleanmgr", defrag started. No options tab was shown. I started the console ( CMD) typed in cleanmgr and once again defrag started. Am I doing something wrong? ~SAF-B Try putting in cleanmgr.exe and see if it helps.Hmm. Same thing. Defrag starts. Try this. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup. Pffft. That was a hit. Got it. Thanks for your help!Thats odd though that it isn't working with the run command. |

Solve : WGA importance? |
|
Answer» I've been researching this topic about Windows Genuine Advantage for some TIME and I haven't FOUND anything conclusive. My question is: how important is WGA? Does getting all the updates really protect your computer even though one has all the necessary Anti-viral, spyware and malware installed. I'll bet there are thousands out there surfing the net with Windows 98 who haven't had an update on over 10 years. In another 2 months MS will no LONGER be doing anything with Windows XP. Does this mean that we will be less protected. A friend gave me her old computer which is running XP. I went on-line to check if it was validated and it wasn't yet she was on-line every day. I ran all kind of checks and there were only a few tracking cookies on it. This is why I started to question WGA. Please give my your input.WGA is Windows Genuine Advantage and is used to verify if your copy of Windows is genuine. Unpatched old software is a security hazard to your computer. Windows or Mac or Linux or any other operating system. Security updates are released for the SOLE REASON of patching holes that open your computer to vulnerabilities. Full read Why Users Still Don’t Get The Importance Of Update SoftwareSo what happens in June when XP is cut loose? Will we all have to update to Vista in order to remain secure?I see what you mean now. Sales will end for XP but support for the OS (updates) will reportedly continue through 2014. Quote from: evilfantasy on May 01, 2008, 03:59:11 PM I see what you mean now. Sales will end for XP but support for the OS (updates) will reportedly continue through 2014.That's better news. Thanks |

Solve : Unable to boot in any mode except Safe Mode? |
|
Answer» I'm helping a coworker with her personal computer, and she's run into a major issue that I don't know how to fix. WinFixer, WinAntiVirus, WinAntiVirusPro, ErrorSafe, SystemDoctor, WinAntiSpyware, AVSystemCare, WinAntiSpy, Performance Optimizer, StorageProtector, PrivacyProtector and others are very similar computer programs available only for Microsoft Windows that claim to repair computer system problems [1][2][3], but do not actually do so. They are sometimes installed without the user's consent, usually through Internet Explorer. They display false information about the user's computer, confusing the user into believing that their PC is infected with viruses, spyware and/or other forms of malware. The advertisements pop up a display with notifications to convince the user that SOMETHING may be amiss with the computer, or run a fake diagnostic. The program repeatedly prompts the user to purchase a licensed copy of the program. Due to these problems, WinFixer and its sister applications are generally considered SCAREWARE spyware through misleading popups and forced downloads. Boot to safe mode and un-install WinFixer. Re-boot and see what happens...if it's stubborn as most scumware is we may need a lobotomy. Post back with the results...is it possible that you can use system restore? And restore to the point right before the winfixer got installed or some known clean restore point? the system restore can be run in safe mode so give it a shot (unless no system restore point exists which I doubt...)Do you have a flash drive to transfer over Vundofix Removal Steps: 1. Please print these instructions as they will be needed later when Internet access is not available. 2. Save these instructions in word or notepad to the desktop where they can be easily found. 3. Download Vundo Fix and save it to your desktop. 4. When it has completed downloading, double-click VundoFix.exe to run it. 5. Click the Scan for Vundo button. 6. Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button. 7. You will now receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click the YES button. Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo. 8. When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click the OK button. 9. When the computer has shutdown, turn your computer back on. The WinFixer and Vundo infection should now be removed from your computer. Next go HERE and do the instructions and post the logs back in the Computer Viruses and Spyware forum. Quote from: evilfantasy on April 19, 2008, 05:45:13 PM Do you have a flash drive to transfer over Vundofix That I think should fix the problem unless you have a system restore point and restoring earlier configurations don't matter to you too mucgh. In doing system restore, you might lose things that you did recently (more likely, you'll just have to reinstall any recent programs you installed so that the registry reads it right and cause no problem when loading)Yes it will fix it. Problem is what all else might be wrong. Winfixer shouldn't be blocking the internet. Malware writers don't profit on broken connections......... How To Remove Winfixer / Virtumonde / Msevents / Trojan.vundo.bWell, thank ya'll for the advice so far. Last night, I got the chance to go try it out on her computer, and here are my notes: - First, I took VundoFix over on CD, which seemed to work fine, since the program DLed and RAN on her computer. - I booted her computer up, and the first time it went into Safe Mode, the Safe Mode popup came up 5 times. - While VF was running, the WinFixer popups came up. One is a yellow yield sign in the system tray, and the other is a Windows-designed error message. After a while, a screensaver would consist of bugs crawling across the screen, eating the desktop. - VF took a half-hour to run, but found 6 infections, which I removed. When it began to remove them, a new Windows-designed error message popped up for a second that said due to a major problem, this computer would be shut down in 30 seconds. Then, all three error messages disappeared, and VF said it needed to restart the computer. - Upon restart, the computer still could not start in any mode except Safe Mode. As soon as it booted up to the desktop, the error messages reappeared. - I decided to just check out System Restore and see if I could find when it would restore to. Choosing System Restore from the Start MENU resulted in the following message: System Restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart and run System Restore again. - I restarted one more time and System Restore gave the exact same error message again. I left off at this point because the first instruction didn't work. VF didn't remove the program, so I wasn't sure if I should go through with anything else before checking back with ya'll. Also, as I looked closely at it, the program is actually called WinIFixer, not just WinFixer. Not sure if they're the same thing. So, any more ideas?I am moving this to the virus and spyware forum. You need to run SmitFraudFix. Then post a Hijackthis log. Download and rename HijackThis (HJT)
Okay, I apologize about the massive absence, but she was unable to print/save the HiJackThis log, so she had to hand-write the entire thing and I had to retype it all.

Do the steps in this post in order and then post all of the logs including a new hijackthis log.Well, the problem is that she still can't connect to the internet in any way, shape, or form. How would you recommend going about everything in that post without any type of access? Note that the computer can't reboot in any mode except Safe Mode either. Anything that requires an online verification won't work.It appears that all the downloads will have to be done by you and transferred using a flashdrive or CD.I would probably be easier to reinstall.

Solve : Dual boot and AV programs? |
|
Answer» I'm planning on adding Ubuntu as a dual boot on one of my computers. Will I need to ADD the USUAL AV & Anti-Spyware to that boot ALSO?Yes.Quote from: Broni on May 02, 2008, 07:59:05 PM Yes.So, there won't be a problem with running two AV's at the same TIME? What about a firewall?You won't be running 2 at a time...you will have 2 installations. You can only run one OS at a time so this wouldn't apply....What about firewalls. Do I need two?Yes. |

Answer» I have a Dell laptop Latitude D500. Ok so my dad gave me his old work laptop for school. It has a tiny harddrive, only 27 gigs. When I got it there was MAYBE 5 gigs of free space. So in order for me to have music and games I got an external drive. Well everything was fine until about a week ago. I could of swore that when i got the external I had around 3 gigs left on the old harddrive. Well last week my harddrive was down to 1 gig, but problem is that the memory just kept draining. As of right now my computer is saying the C drive has 15mb of space left. Funny thing is, is that when i reboot it goes back up to around 200 mb but just drains back down.

Solve : Possible virus on my memory stick? |
|
Answer» My memory stick is continually creating duplicate folders I have run a virus scan with Mcafee but it detects nothing. The Mcafee is up to date and the version is 8.5.0i.
Running sUBs Flash Disinfector will target alot of auto run infections and create a hidden folder named autorun.inf on each partition and any USB drive you plug in, these dummy autorun.inf files will help protect your PC from reinfection because if the infected flash drive is then inserted, autorun looks for autorun.inf which would normally run the infection but its then prevented by the dummy autorun.inf that is in place. If you have any USB drives please insert them when prompted when running the tool. You can easily delete the new autorun.inf if you choose. |

Solve : anti-virus and spyware for Intel Celeron processor and Comodo firewall? |
|
Answer» Hi- I have a Dell computer with an Intel Celeron processor with 128MB of RAM and 996hz processor. I downloaded a Comodo firewall. Now I NEED anti-virus(preferably free) and spyware(preferably free). I checked the system requirements for Avast, AVG, and Comomdo anti-virus and they all require an Intel Pentium processor(or equivalent). Can I still get one of these products with an Intel Celeron processor? Or what anti-virus can I get with an Intel processor? I can't afford to get a new processor right now. ALso, do you know of any registry cleaner that I can download for free that will scan and CLEAN my computer. One more thing, do you recommend more than one spyware PROGRAM for a computer?Yes all the software you mention will work with your processor. |
