Not blackworm virus?

Message Edited by ky331 on 03-13-2006 01:51 PM

I guess your log is OK.  I'm not familiar with smileycons but can't find anybody who says it's bad and it should have an option under Control Panel/Add/Remove Programs to remove it so I guess it's OK.

The Quick Heal stuff is also new to me but Castle Cops says it's OK.

I don't much care for weatherbug.  It's adware driven and a resource hog and in some versions it gifts you with some more adware.  I'd uninstall it and if you must have weather on your desktop look into the waether channel's software.

This line looks odd:

O23 - Service: hpdj - HP - C:\DOCUME~1\COMPAQ~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\hpdj.exe

but supposedly it's normal with an HP Deskjet.  Don't know what HP's thinking to install it in a temp folder where it will get removed the first time you do a disk cleanup but it's not bad software.

Otherwise nothing bad that I can see.

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:.

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.

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 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.

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 trail 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.)

I have deleted the items and have posted the new log.  Java has been updated.  I'm no longer getting pop-ups and my computer has definitely settled down...
