So far, everything looks as though it has returned to normal. No fake alerts have poped up as of yet.

 

Do you think that was the file causing all of the trouble?

Once again, I'm very greatful for your help in solving this issue.

 

-o0owhoami0o 

Good work. Yes, that file checked out to be bad.

 

Run an online virus scan called Kaspersky from HERE.

• 1. At the main page. Press on " Accept". After reading the contents.
  2. At the next window Select Update. Allow the Database to update.
  Note: If prompted to run or update your Java, then follow the prompts to do so. Kaspersky requires Java to run.
  3. Once the Database has finished, under the Scan icon Select My Computer to start the scan. The scan may take a few minutes to complete.
  4. Select Scan Report.
  5. If any threats were found they will appear in the report
  6. Select "Save error report as"
  Then in the file name just type in kaspersky
  Under "save as type" select text .txt
  Save it to your Desktop.

Copy and post the results of the Kaspersky Online scan. If no threats were found then report that as well

The scan came up with two threats, here are the results:

Havent had any annoying security pop-ups all day. Everything seems alright. 

I see that Viewpoint is installed. Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player are Viewpoint components which are installed as a side effect of installing other software, most notably AOL and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Viewpoint Manager is responsible for managing and updating Viewpoint Media Player’s components. You can disable this using the Viewpoint Manager Control Panel found in the Windows Control Panel menu. By selecting Disable auto‑updating for the Viewpoint Manager ‑‑ the player will no longer attempt to check for updates. Anything that is installed without your consent is suspect. Read what Viewpoint says and make your own decision.

Quote:

To provide a satisfying consumer experience and to operate effectively, the Viewpoint Media Player periodically sends information to servers at Viewpoint. Each installation of the Viewpoint Media Player is identifiable to Viewpoint via a Customer Unique Identifier (CUID), an alphanumeric identifier embedded in the Viewpoint Media Player. The Viewpoint Media Player randomly generates the CUID during installation and uses it to indicate a unique installation of the product. A CUID is never connected to a user's name, email address, or other personal contact information. CUIDs are used for the sole purpose of filtering redundant information. Each of these information exchanges occurs anonymously.

Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without user's approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This may change, read Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware.

I recommend that you remove the Viewpoint products; however, decide for yourself. To uninstall the the Viewpoint components (Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player):

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
3. In Add or Remove Programs, highlight >>Viewpoint component , click Remove.
4. Do the same for each Viewpoint component.

Whatever your decision, please post back with a fresh HijackThis log and keep me updated on the status of the PC.

Thank you for the heads up. I have always wondered what viewpoint was, because I have never used it, and never remembered installing it. I have removed it.

 

heres the HJT:

Thanks again for all of your time and advice on what to do, I really appreciate it.

Is there anything else that shouldn't be on the log? 

Your logs appear all clean.

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


This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

• Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
• Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
• Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
• Select drive will open. Click OK
• Either a scan will open up and take a few minutes or it will go directly to Disk Cleanup for ...
• Select the More options tab
• Find System Restore. Click Clean up

Set correct settings for files that should be hidden in Windows XP

• Click Start > My Computer > Tools menu (at top of page) > Folder Options > View tab.
• Under "Hidden files and folders" if necessary select Do not show hidden files and folders.
• If unchecked please checkHide protected operating system files (Recommended)
• If necessary check "Display content of system folders"
• If necessary Uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.
• Click OK

• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
• 
  
  
• 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 Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
• 
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using Ad-aware 2007 to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer
  
  
  
• 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
  
  
  
• 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 tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and 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.
Here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety

• 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.
• Comodo BOCLEAN = Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
• Winpatrol = Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
• Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software

Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints --- where you can make difference!

The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

Also, please read this great article by Tony Klein So How Did I Get Infected In First Place

Happy surfing and stay clean!
