JD,
 
Hello! and welcome to the DELL forums.


Go to www.trendmicro.com, and then:
 
1.  Click " Free Online Scan".
2.  Click " Scan now, it's free".
 
It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's down:
 
1.  Select all available drives.
2.  Check(tick) " Auto Clean".
3.  Click " Scan".
When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.


Run HiJackThis and click " Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/sb/sbcydsl/*http://www.yahoo.com/search/ie.html R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/su/sbcydsl/*http://www.yahoo.com
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/sb/sbcydsl/*http://www.yahoo.com/search/ie.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/su/sbcydsl/*http://www.yahoo.com
 
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
 
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
   ... (Unless you've set these with a anti-spyware program like SpyBot's Immunize feature, have HiJackThis fix this.)

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click " Fix checked".



Post back a new log, and let me know how everything goes.

I did not have any viruses detected with Trend Micro scan.
 
Removed the 6 lines in the log you mentioned above.  Here is the new log after following your instructions.  I haven't rebooted yet, but memory still half way maxed out.  Thanks for you help so far

Some added info about the system I'm working on.

It's...oh gawd, a celeron.  I told her to buy a P4, but what are you going to do.  It's probably the same reason she didn't upgrade her antivirus software subscription. 

Celeron 2.8Ghz

256MB of RAM

40GB drive

SBC DSL connection

I've read the forums and Spywareinfo and one of the threads said this could be just XP being a memory hog.  Somehow I don't think that is the case here, because their system has run much faster in the past before and after I upgraded them to SP2.  I hope not because I suggested they only needed 256.  I'm now thinking about upgrading my system to 1GB after reading that.   

Just some thoughts.  This is really bothering me.  Thanks again for your help.

Hey JD,

I see no problems in your Hijackthis Log, try posting your problem on the XP Board here at DELL,

This is my normal post for when you are clear - which you now are - or seem to be. Please advise of any problems you still have :-

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:


  1. Disable and Enable System Restore. -  If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.
  2. You can find instructions on how to enable and re enable system restore here:
    Managing Windows Millennium System Restore
    or
    Windows XP System Restore Guide
    re-enable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

  3. Make your Internet Explorer more secure -  This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    2. Click once on the Security tab
    3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    4. Click once on the Custom Level button.

      1. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
      2. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
      3. Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
      4. Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
      5. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
      6. Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to  Prompt
      7. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
      8. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
        • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
          • Use an Anti Virus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine.  This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.  See this link for a listing of some on line & their stand-alone anti virus programs:
          • Computer Safety On line - Anti-Virus

          • Update your Anti Virus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish).  If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

          • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.  Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For an article on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
          • Computer Safety On line - Software Firewalls

          • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.  This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.  If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

          • Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. 
          • This will provide real-time spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection.  You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
            Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware

          • Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. You should also scan your computer with the program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software in conjunction with Spybot. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
          • Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware

          • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. A article on anti-malware products with links for this program and others can be found here:
          • Computer Safety on line - Anti-Malware

          • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.  Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
            • Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically. 

              (ChrisRLG)
