CleanDriver HELP!

Hi
OK Smitfraud is gone.

Look in your add/remove and make sure this is not in there.
SpyDawn

If it is delete it, if it's not then that's good.

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan only. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O16 - DPF: {DCDC28C5-831C-43EA-9C02-78872CCCA409} (VPlayer Control) - http://thesecret.tv/movie/player/vivid_ocx.jpeg

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.

Close HJT

Reboot your computer and post a new HJT log.

Hi CidHawg

You need those, they are security updates from microsoft.

You log is clean.
Any more pop-ups or problems?

If not plesae follow the instructions below.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only

• 
  Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  Under Main choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser

• Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.
  NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser

• Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.
  NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

We have just a few more things to do, mostly maintenance and then our recommendations:

This would also be a good time to set a new system restore point for your machine.
Set New System Restore Point. Do not do this unless there are no other user accounts to be diagnosed.

Also, as you are an XP user, if there are any other accounts on this machine, they too, must be cleaned with AdAware, Spybot S&D, then HJT. Not all infections are global, nor are all the HJT fixes global. You can post each user account here into this thread, but please, do only one at a time to avoid confusion. It is very rare that anything significant is ever found.

The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

1. Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
   
   
2. AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
   
   
3. SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
   
   
4. SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
   
   
5. IE-SpyAd - puts over 23,000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all,
   and MVPS Hosts File will accomplish a similar tactic and provide another layer of protection.
   
   
6. Install WinPatrol to prevent unknown applications from being inserted to start up on your machine
   
   Now just because you have security apps installed, they are useless unless updated regularly.
   
   
7. Another thing I would suggest, is to install SiteAdvisor. It gives sites a few different 'ratings' and while not fool proof, a good additional layer of information about many sites.
   
   
8. ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
   This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only, Cleans out temporary files all the garbage you collect while surfing the web.
   
   
9. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
   
   
10. Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.
    
11. Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)

To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein

Hi
One other thing.
You should have Java installed.
Here is a link to it. It is the first download. (In orange)

Geri

 

Thanks for your help!!!

I did the ATF cleaner and the system restore. When I get back from my trip I will check into installing those other apps.

Many thanks for all your help!!!

 

Hi CidHawg

Let me know if there are any problems.

You can delete any tools you were asked to download, (smitfraud, Silent Runners) There will be newer versions if ever needed again any way.

Please do not keep these and run them with out someone looking at the logs first.
You can harm your system.

Geri

 

Thanks Geri

10-4!

When I get back I will do a thorough look-see at everything and hopefully no bugs!
