Hello Sarah,

Sorry for the delay in response. Everyone who helps out here is a volunteer and sometimes there are just not enough available to keep up with demand.

Your HijackThis log appears to be incomplete. It also shows that you are running a completely unpatched version of windows XP. This is dangerous because you are missing many security patches and fixes contained in both sp1, sp2 and subsequent updates.

Please do the following:

Click "Start" = >"Run".
Type "MSConfig" (without the quotes), into the Open drop-down box.
Click "OK".
Select "Normal start up-load all device drivers and services".
Click "Apply" = >"OK".
Reboot normally.

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner:
You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersk:
Click Yes.
Mozilla Firefox does not support ActiveX. You must use Internet Explorer for this scan .
  • Program will launch and then download the latest definition files.
  • Once the scanner and definitions are installed: Click Next.
  • Click Scan Settings
  • Make sure that the following are selected:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
      • Extended (If available, otherwise Standard)
    • Scan Options:
      • Scan Archives
      • Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Under select a target to scan:
  • Select My Computer
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • When the scan is complete you'll see a list of any infections that were found.
  • Click the Save as Text button
  • Save file to your desktop.

Please run a new HijackThis scan DO NOT reenable Selective Startup. To effectively check out your system, we need the listing of all services and programs. Selective Startup does not provide this.

In your next reply please include the following:
  • The results of the Kaspersky online scan.
  • Your new HijackThis log. :smileyhappy:

Hi Bill,
 
Thanks for the help!  I tried to do a Kaspersky scan 3x and each time the scan stopped (for 5-24 hours) on one system restore file.  I did do another Hijackthis scan.  Here it is..
Thanks again,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

There's nothing suspicious looking in your log file. Very often, a virus will show up In the System Restore folder and nowhere else. If you wrote down the name of the virus Kaspersky found, that would be very helpful. If you did not, all is not lost. We can do the following:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
2. Reboot.

After you reboot, please run the Kaspersky scan again. If it hangs again, write down the full path and filename at which the hangup occurred. Also, please write down the name of the virus which was detected. Please reverse the above process to reenable System Restore once the scan is finished.

Meanwhile, I discovered a few things while researching your log file. They may be helpful in improving your system performance. Pay particular attention to the last entry below.

The following are optional fixes. They are available through Start => Programs and are known resource hogs: Please read the description following each and decide whether you need them to launch at Startup or not.

Run HijackThis and place a check mark (tic) next to the following:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Share-to-Web Namespace Daemon] C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Share-to-Web\hpgs2wnd.exe => Available via Start => Programs.

The following will Start when Adobe is launched:
O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Reader Speed Launch.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\reader_sl.exe
O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Reader Synchronizer.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AdobeCollabSync.exe

O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE => This is a well known resource hog. All Office modules are available via Start => Programs.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PCTVOICE] pctspk.exe => From Answers That Work: PCTSPK.EXE and the related PCTVOICE.EXE occasionally run away with CPU consumption, up to 95%-100%, causing the inevitable extreme PC slow-down or freeze. In all cases that we have seen, disabling this process has not given the user any problem in his use of the modem. NOTE:According to CastleCops, you may lose speakerphone and/or voice conferencing functions if you disable this service. If this happens, we can it reenable it Using Hijackthis's restore feature.

WITH ALL OTHER WINDOWS CLOSED, Click Fix Checked.

In your next reply please include the following:
  • The results (if any) from the Kaspersky scan.
  • A fresh HijackThis log.
  • A description of any symptoms remaining, or new ones that just started. :smileyhappy:

Hi Billy,
 
The Kaspersky scan was able to finish after I turned System Restore off.  It said that no malware was found but there were quite a few files that were locked.  I made all of your optional fixes and ran another hijackthis log.  Everything seems to be working:)

Thanks again!
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Those locked files indicate either protected system files or files related to a process that was running when the scan was done. Nothing suspicious looking in there. If everything is running good:

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

Below is my standard "Final Cleanup" and "All Clean" speech. Included in it are tips on how to keep your computer from being reinfected. They are simple to set up and simple to maintain, and I HIGHLY recommend that you follow them. (I use every one.)

Download and scan with CCleaner
NOTE

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:
  • Spywareblaster => SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  • Spywareguard => SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  • How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware => If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
  • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware => If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware
To protect yourself further:
  • IE/Spyad => IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • MVPS Hosts file => The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
  • Google Toolbar => Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
  • Use a Firewall => I can not stress enough how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. For an excellent article on Firewalls, why you should use one and a some of those available, see Computer Safety On line - Software Firewalls. I recommend ZoneAlarm or Sunbelts Kerio. ZoneAlarm is more user-friendly, but Sunbelts Kerio is considered more secure.
  • UPDATE!-UPDATE!-UPDATE! => This is, without a doubt, THE MOST IMPORTANT element in keeping your computer free of malware. Keep each and every one of your anti-malware tools AND Windows up-to-date with all current definitions and patches.
I also suggest that you delete your temporary files by deleting all files and folders that are in those folders (do not delete the temp folder itself), for example:
  • C:\WINDOWS\Temp\--->Everything After the \.
  • C:\Temp\--->Everything After the \.
  • C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\--->Everything After the \.
  • Repeat for all users.
Also delete your Temporary Internet Files and cookies:
  • Click Start=>Control Panel=>Internet options.
  • Under the Generaltab.
  • Click Delete Files button.
  • Place a check-mark in Delete all off-line content.
  • Click OK
  • Click Delete Cookies
  • Click OK=>OK
  • Exit Control Panel
  • Repeat for all users.
In Firefox:
  • Click Tools=>Options=>Privacy icon.
  • Click Cache tab.
  • Click Clear Cache button.
  • Click Cookies tab.
  • Click Clear Cookies Now button.
  • Click OK
  • Repeat for all users.
Empty the recycle bin:
  • Right-click the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop.
  • Select "Empty Recycle Bin".
  • Repeat forall users.
Note: You can also do the above steps using a program such as CCleaner.
PLEASE NOTE: The above steps should be done on a regular basis.

Also, please see: So how did I get infected in the first place?
