Sorry, but I got lost. In Control Panel I have "Networkâ€. This lists "Configuration" and has "Dial-up Adapterâ€, (which I’m using now), "Motorola SURboard SB5120 USB Cable Modem" (which I use mostly), etc. Some are highlighted "“ some are not. The highlighted "Dial-up Adapter" line cannot be right-clicked "“ but shows an "Add, Remove, Properties" bar when left clicked. Clicking properties gives only "Driver Type, Bindings & Advanced" options.
The non-highlighted "Dial-up Adapter" line cannot be right-clicked either "“ but when left clicked says "You have asked to change TCP/IP properties for a dial-up adapter.â€

Am I doing something wrong?
May try later when I'm on the cable modem.

Lets start again. I ran the HJT fix "“ and here’s a new log:

Lonnie,

Ran the HJT fix for those you selected.
Included new HJT Log.

Couldn’t follow instructions to "obtain DNS SERVER ADDRESS automaticallyâ€

Couldn’t complete this step:
“Next Go start run type cmd and hit OK type ipconfig /flushdns
then hit enter, type exit hit enter

Got this reply: "Cannot find the file "cmd" (or one of its components)….

Ran RKFILES.BAT and included text.

Please advise: http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?p=223256

Thanks,
Charlie_C (logs below)

Hi

Download the rem3 tool rem3.zip to your desktop
http://forums.skads.org/index.php?showtopic=80
It must be unziped in order to work correctly > extract/unzip the files inside.
Open the rem3 folder, add this file to the bottom of the ver3.txt
DXCONF.EXE
Then when the tool is ran it will delete that file

You Will need to Boot into Safe Mode.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;180902

Now run remv3.bat , answer no to the pompts about registry files.
when it is finished a text will open save it (Log.txt) to the desktop or somewhere handy.



Restart back to a normal windows session, Post that log txt make and post a fresh hijackthis log.

 

OK - Hope this is it:

Let us know if there are any problems

 

Thanks again Lonny. I appreciate you help - and especially your patience.
I am curious where these malwares are coming from. Both the last 2 apparently came in on a virus - and remained after the virus was deleted. But in both cases, the AV was updated and run just prior to the infection. Why are the updates not stopping these? Do you have a clue? It is almost as if they came on board with the updates. Is that possible?

Well thanks again,
Charlie

 

Im Not sure. A hosts file is a great preventative measure.
