    Hi Jae
    No OT moved them.

    Most definitely, Old versions are exploitable and are targets for malware.

    Good that you removed it, sorry about your daughter but it is cheaper to buy whatever she wants to have, then to buy a new computer because one was toasted from infections.

    I did not know you bought it, hate to see you loosing money that way :(
    There are free ones SpyBot Search and Destroy works well, inable Tea Timer.
    If you go to buy any more programs come by here first and get opinions from the people here, everyone here is more then happy to give their two cents worth.
    Post security programs in the "General Security" form, other programs in the "Other Software" form.

    OK, Go to SpyBots web site again and see what happens, Let me know and let me know of any more problems.
    Run dss again and post the main log only.
    If OK, then we will go ahead and remove tools and such.

    Thanks
    Geri

    Hi Geri,

    I have downloaded Spybots successfully, but did not enable tea timer as you suggested, can I go back and do this.

    The scan found 4 items

    1 from Crazy girls (shame) which is dailer that I used the "fix problems button" to remove, is this Ok ?

    The other 3 were telling me that windows Firewall, updates and antivirus were disabled, which I asked to "ignore in future scans ", only because it said that other antivirus programmes automatically do this to avoid mutliple warning messages for the same things, Ok ??

    While we are on antivirus programmes I seem to have a few, what do I do with all of them ?

    Is it time to do "set new system restore point "

    I hope you are still enjoying my bumbling because I feel like a pain up the but !

    Hi Jae

    You can if you want it to monitor your system in real time, (your choice.)

    Yes and Yes

    I see only 1 anti-virus, > Norton.
    The others are Spyware Programs. You need to update them and then run a scan at least once a week fix whatever they find.

    Almost. If you feel things are running OK then we will proceed. I have a couple questions first.

    I see these came back,
    popcreg.dat
    popcinfot.dat


    They could be related to popcap games, which is no threat, just wanted to make sure your kids or you went there and played some games.

    Also, Your date seems to be off, you seem to be a number of days ahead of the rest of us.
    "Scan saved at 8:01:52 p.m., on 25/09/2007 "
    Double click your clock in your tool bar and adjust the date by clicking on the correct day click Apply > OK.

    If you feel things are running OK then lets proceed.

    You can delete any tools you were asked to download and the files/folders or logs they created, There will be newer versions if ever needed again any way.

    These tools.
    Navilog1. OTMoveIt, dss.exe

    These files/Folders
    C:\fixnavi.txt <<This file
    C:\cleannavi.txt <<This file
    C:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles <<This folder
    C:\Deckard <<This folder

    Empty your recycle bin

    Turn off and On system Restore

    You must be logged in as an Administrator to do this. If you are not logged in as an Administrator, the System Restore tab will not be displayed.
    Turning off System Restore will clear out all previous restore points.

    To turn off Windows XP System Restore:
    NOTE: These instructions assume that you are using the default Windows XP Start Menu and have not changed to the Classic Start menu. To re-enable the default menu, right-click Start, click Properties, click Start menu (not Classic) and then click OK.
    1. Click Start.
    2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
    3. Click the System Restore tab.
    4. Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
    5. Click Apply.
    6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
    7. Click OK.
    8. Restart the computer and follow the instructions in the next section to turn on System Restore.

    To turn on Windows XP System Restore:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
    3. Click the System Restore tab.
    4. Uncheck "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives. "
    5. Click Apply, and then click OK
    Make a new restore point. And name it.

    Let me know if you feel this is resolved, then I will mark this thread accordingly.

    Hi Geri,
    Ever since we killed my malware I have been unable to add a desktop to my kids account, yet my account is fine.Also on my account when I'm on the internet, up in the address bar and on the page tabs they do not have the correct company logos next to the addresses. Even though it's not affecting my surfing, just thought I will mention it.
    Can you help or do you want me to use a differant forum ?
    Cheers
    Jae

    Hi jamon08
    Click on Start > Control Panel > Display. Click on the "Desktop" tab then click the "Customize Desktop" button. Click on the "Web" tab. Under "Web Pages" Check to see if there is a entry checked called something like "Security" or similar. Select that entry and click the "Delete" button.
    Also, there should be nothing with a box checked, if there is uncheck it, and if the "Lock desktop items" box is checked, uncheck it.
    Click OK then Apply and OK.

    Let me know if this helps.

    Not sure about this?
    Is it just one certain logo? if so can to tell me what the logo is.
    If you point your cruser at it does it disply a text of what it is or from whom?

    Thanks
    Geri

    Hi Geri,

    There where no entries in the web pages box, nothing had been checked.
    After posted my reply for help on the desktop issue, I tried to delete that account and created a new one but it still have the same problem it also came up with a " cannot load user profile error switching to default user ". I know what your thinking, "why didn't I wait for help" instead I had to try and be clever, I think i might have made the problem worse, little things like the desktop, unable to switch to classic veiw in control panel any more tips mate ?

    I sorted out the logo problem, I just deleted all of my tempory internet files and cookies and it seems to have come right. It was not the same logo, intead of the windows bbs logo I had the logo of the local radio station that I had been surfing and only one other had the wrong logo of a differant website again.

    The "new programs installed" balloon keeps appearing on the start menu as well, refering to spybot only, usually this goes away after you use the programme for the first time.

    I'm back, the fula between the seat and keyboard:eek:

    Hi Jae
    Lets try this.
    Give the kids account administrative privileges from Your account, then log onto the kids and see if you can make the changes you want to. Then just change it back to limited when done.

    Let me know if that works.

    Hi Jae
    OK lets see if we can see anything in a dss scan. Please do this from your kids account.

    Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) and save it to your Desktop.
    • Close all other windows before proceeding.
    • Double-click on dss.exe and follow the prompts.
    • When it has finished, dss will open two Notepads main.txt and extra.txt -- please copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply.

    Thanks
    Geri

    Hi Jae

    OK about the wall paper.
    How comfortable are you witht he registry?
    I would like to check something, there sre a couple ways to do this, one is you checking manually the other is a command line.

    If you can check it, then here is what i want you to do.
    Click on Start > Run > type in regedit click OK
    Click on this Key and all the subkeys untill you get to ActiveDesktop

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop

    Click on ActiveDesktop and tell me if this is listed in the right pane, and what the DWord value is....be it 0 or 1

    Look in the right pane for a value called NoChangingWallPaper.

    Or we can do it this way.

    Click on Start > Run type in cmd click OK, a command box will open
    Then copy and paste this in the command box and hit enter.

    regedit.exe /e c:\wallpaper.txt HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop

    Copy and paste the context of c:\wallpaper.txt here.

    Thanks
    Geri

    Hi Jae
    Also,
    The HJT log in the dss log is somewhat weird so I would like you to run a regular HJT scan from your kids account and post the log.

    Thanks

    Hi Geri

    I tried the second way with no joy, as that account will not connect to the internet, I typed the command, no luck.

    The first way, I followed all of the sub keys to policies, to find there was no "active desktop ". Instead there was a explorer folder. In the right hand pane was "REG DWORD No drive type auto" and "REGsz 0x00000095(149) if this means anything

    Cheers

    Jae

    Can you tell me the username on the kids account, what the folder name is for it in Docs & Settings.
