Shutdown and Restart and Boot into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key when you see the PC maker's logo. Keep tapping until it tells you it is going to Safe Mode or you see the Safe Mode menu. Select the top option. Log in as your usual login or you won't find the programs you put on the desktop and some of the entries we want to remove will not appear in HijackTHis.
Run HijackThis and just do a Scan only. Check then Fix Checked the following:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at 6:53:30 PM, on 4/27/2006
Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180)
Log looks good. Heard any more complaints from your antivirus?

A Few Recommendations.
You can delete any programs we had you install but leave Hijackthis for now. You can also run Hijackthis, View the List of Backups and Delete All. If we used killbox its backup files can be removed now too. Run Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups. If you have an antivirus, check its quarantined files and delete any it had found.
You should also definitely toggle System Restore Off and then back On.
Following site has very clear instructions for turning it off. To turn it back on you just repeat the instructions but uncheck the box where it says to Turn Off System Restore on all Drives.
The reason we do this is to remove any archived copies of the infection from System Restore so that if you have to use SYstem Restore to fix a problem you won't accidentally reinfect your system. The next link explains how to use System Restore to go back in time if you hit a bad site or get infected.
One way to make an infection more obvious is to check everything in your current HijackThis and Add to Ignore List then set up Hijackthis to run at boot and to show you if it finds anything new. You do this by None of the Above Just start the program, Config (Main) and then check the box in front of Run Hiajckthis at startup and show it when items are found. OK. Then if Hijackthis opens after a boot it will show you any new programs that have been added. You can then decide if you want to keep them or not. If in doubt you can google for the .exe or .dll file at the end of the entry and see if what other people think of it.
Make sure you have removed any older versions of Java or JRE with Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Updates do not remove the older versions which have exploitable flaws.
If you have an older PC get rid of Microsoft Java Virtual Machine.
Following site explains how to tell if you have it:
If you feel that Internet Explorer is running a bit slower after the latest Java update you can try checking this line and then Fix Checked.
O2 - BHO: SSVHelper Class - {761497BB-D6F0-462C-B6EB-D4DAF1D92D43} - C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\ssv.dll
It was added by the latest version of Java. We don't know why. Earlier versions did not have it. It has been proven to slow down connections on some systems and removing it doesn't seem to hurt anything.
Other items you may wish to get rid of if you own a Dell are:
THese are from the MyWay Adware program installed on most Dells. The uninstaller was broken on many of them. To remove just close Internet Explorer, run HijackThis (scan only) and check them then Fix Checked.
If you are not running the latest version of Adobe you should consider updating. There are reports of a loophole for hackers in pre 7.03 versions. As an alternative you can dump adobe completely and use fox-it instead: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
If you do not have an antivirus program or the one you have was a trial that has expired then try the free antivirus for home users from Avast! http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html (Uninstall any other antivirus program first.)
If you run Macromedia Flash make sure you have the latest version. We just got a warning the following versions are vulnerable: * Flash Player 8.0.22.0 and earlier * Flash Professional 8 * Flash Basic * Flash MX 2004 * Flash Debug Player 7.0.14.0 and earlier * Flex 1.5 * Breeze Meeting Add-In 5.1 and earlier * Adobe Macromedia Shockwave Player 10.1.0.11 and earlier
I have performed most of the above action and have a couple more concerens.
1) While performing the Trend scan I got this Alert from McAfee Anti-Virus.
C:\System Volum Information\_restore{202550A8-7A33-4BCA-958.... was infected by the Downloader-ZG and was cleaned.
This Downloader-ZG seems to be the root of my problem but McAfee Anti-Virus was not removing Downloader-ZQ instead just cleaning up after it.
The tread scan found and removed Troj_DLOADER.CQU. Is the same as Downloader-ZQ.
I rebooted and ran the trend scan again and it came back clean besides 2 tracking cookies. So it apears that everthing has been remove for now. What are the chances it will reappear?
2) I updated Java and removed old version from add/remove programs. When I go the Tools\Internet options\Advanced. Under Java(Sun) i Have Use Java 2 v1.50_06 for (requires restart) is checked and I have no Jave entry in my add/remove programs even though I I have rebotted severel times.
The only thing I have left to do that you is to reset my System Restore. I was waiting to do this tell I was 1005 sure my system was clean. Can we say the system is clean and ready to reset the system restore?
I'd say your system is now clean. Time to cleanout system restore. First I've heard about the Security Level not being high enough. I don't suppose Norton bothered to tell you what they objected to so you could fix it easily did they? I don't think it's much of a problem. Did you remember making any changes that might be considered weaker choices? Prompt instead of Disable perhaps?
If you do a search for Java (search Hidden and System too just to make sure you find it) it should show you a folder named Java which is really C:\Program Files\Java and in that folder are separate folders for each version of Java you have. You can remove any version of Java other than the latest one by just deleting the folder for that version.
No, It didn't give any further info. I set them back to default and changed each one by it self. I got the alert when I changed "Access data sources acroos domains" from disable to promt. I fI left this alone and only made the rest of the changes I did not get the alert. So would you leave this alone or go ahead and make the change?

You only think you got rid of it:
Shutdown and Restart and Boot into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key when you see
the PC maker's logo.
Keep tapping until it tells you it is going to Safe Mode or you see the Safe
Mode menu. Select the top option. Log in as your usual login or you won't find
the programs you put on the desktop
and some of the entries we want to remove will not appear in HijackTHis.
Run HijackThis and just do a Scan only. Check then Fix Checked the following:
HKCU\..\Run: [taskdir] C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskdir.exe
Reboot. Run a new HJT scan did the same line come back?

Log looks good. Heard any more complaints from your antivirus?
Ron
A Few Recommendations.
You can delete any programs we had you install but leave Hijackthis for now. You can also run Hijackthis, View the List of Backups and Delete All. If we used killbox its backup files can be removed now too. Run Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups. If you have an antivirus, check its quarantined files and delete any it had found.
You should also definitely toggle System Restore Off and then back On.
Following site has very clear instructions for turning it off. To turn it back on you just repeat the instructions but uncheck the box where it says to Turn Off System Restore on all Drives.
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/sfc_dis1.shtml
The reason we do this is to remove any archived copies of the infection from System Restore so that if you have to use SYstem Restore to fix a problem you won't accidentally reinfect your system. The next link explains how to use System Restore to go back in time if you hit a bad site or get infected.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/systemrestore.mspx
One way to make an infection more obvious is to check everything in your current HijackThis and Add to Ignore List then set up Hijackthis to run at boot and to show you if it finds anything new. You do this by None of the Above Just start the program, Config (Main) and then check the box in front of Run Hiajckthis at startup and show it when items are found. OK. Then if Hijackthis opens after a boot it will show you any new programs that have been added. You can then decide if you want to keep them or not. If in doubt you can google for the .exe or .dll file at the end of the entry and see if what other people think of it.
To avoid going to a bad site you might want to install IE-SpyAd and SpywareBlaster and make the other changes recommended at:.
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm
I used to recommend Spybot's Immunize system but have recently learned it is not as good as the one at:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
Always run a firewall. The one in XP SP2 is pretty good tho I think the free one from Zone Alarm is better.
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/trial_zaFamily/trial_zaFamily.jsp?lid=home_freedownloads
Turn on Autoupdates so you always get the latest patches from Windows.
Never hurts to do one of the free on line scans from Panda or Trend. They take a while but are pretty good.
www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/activescan.asp?
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
I like to run Spybot S&D.
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
Also like to run AdAware once in a while.
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Get the latest version of
Java:
http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp
Make sure you have removed any older versions of Java or JRE with Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Updates do not remove the older versions which have exploitable flaws.
If you have an older PC get rid of Microsoft Java Virtual Machine.
Following site explains how to tell if you have it:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/uninstall_msvm.xml
The automated removal tool is no longer available on Microsoft's site but can be obtained here:
Download the MSJVM Removal Tool from:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4158.html
and run it.
If you feel that Internet Explorer is running a bit slower after the latest Java update you can try checking this line and then Fix Checked.
O2 - BHO: SSVHelper Class - {761497BB-D6F0-462C-B6EB-D4DAF1D92D43} - C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\ssv.dll
It was added by the latest version of Java. We don't know why. Earlier versions did not have it. It has been proven to slow down connections on some systems and removing it doesn't seem to hurt anything.
Other items you may wish to get rid of if you own a Dell are:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://bfc.myway.com/search/de_srchlft.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {4D25F926-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75} - C:\Program Files\MyWaySA\SrchAsDe\1.bin\deSrcAs.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75} - C:\Program Files\MyWaySA\SrchAsDe\1.bin\deSrcAs.dll
THese are from the MyWay Adware program installed on most Dells. The uninstaller was broken on many of them.
To remove just close Internet Explorer, run HijackThis (scan only) and check them then Fix Checked.
If you are not running the latest version of Adobe you should consider updating. There are reports of a loophole for hackers in pre 7.03 versions.
As an alternative you can dump adobe completely and use fox-it instead:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
If you do not have an antivirus program or the one you have was a trial that has expired then try the free antivirus for home users from Avast!
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html (Uninstall any other antivirus program first.)
If you run Macromedia Flash make sure you have the latest version. We just got a warning the following versions are vulnerable:
* Flash Player 8.0.22.0 and earlier
* Flash Professional 8
* Flash Basic
* Flash MX 2004
* Flash Debug Player 7.0.14.0 and earlier
* Flex 1.5
* Breeze Meeting Add-In 5.1 and earlier
* Adobe Macromedia Shockwave Player 10.1.0.11 and earlier
Also advise you to dump weatherbug if you have it. Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.
If you need weather then get The Weather Channel's program at:

I have performed most of the above action and have a couple more concerens.
1) While performing the Trend scan I got this Alert from McAfee Anti-Virus.
C:\System Volum Information\_restore{202550A8-7A33-4BCA-958.... was infected by the Downloader-ZG and was cleaned.
This Downloader-ZG seems to be the root of my problem but McAfee Anti-Virus was not removing Downloader-ZQ instead just cleaning up after it.
The tread scan found and removed Troj_DLOADER.CQU. Is the same as Downloader-ZQ.
I rebooted and ran the trend scan again and it came back clean besides 2 tracking cookies. So it apears that everthing has been remove for now. What are the chances it will reappear?
2) I updated Java and removed old version from add/remove programs. When I go the Tools\Internet options\Advanced. Under Java(Sun) i Have Use Java 2 v1.50_06 for (requires restart) is checked and I have no Jave entry in my add/remove programs even though I I have rebotted severel times.
The only thing I have left to do that you is to reset my System Restore. I was waiting to do this tell I was 1005 sure my system was clean. Can we say the system is clean and ready to reset the system restore?
Thanks for all the help.

Also when I changed my internet security options to the ones advised by the above link. I got this Dell support message.
"Increase your Internet Security Level
Your Current Internet Explorer Security Level is below recommended Level."
Is this a problem?
Thanks

I'd say your system is now clean. Time to cleanout system restore. First I've heard about the Security Level not being high enough. I don't suppose Norton bothered to tell you what they objected to so you could fix it easily did they? I don't think it's much of a problem. Did you remember making any changes that might be considered weaker choices? Prompt instead of Disable perhaps?

If you do a search for Java (search Hidden and System too just to make sure you find it) it should show you a folder named Java which is really C:\Program Files\Java and in that folder are separate folders for each version of Java you have. You can remove any version of Java other than the latest one by just deleting the folder for that version.

Leave it alone I guess. Shouldn't really make a difference either way.
