Trojans on Dim 2400

Hi, Yes there is, the other method is suspect because you might remove the wrong item.  If you wish to take the time to follow the instruction below, we will take a look at your problems.  Thanks...pskelley

We need to make you aware that many, many logs are being posted.  Because we are few, all volunteers with families and real jobs, we will have to ask you to be patient.  We work the logs in the order they come in, One of the experts (trained at SpywareInfo & Tom Coyote) will assist with your log as soon as possible. They may ask for a fresh log as rebooting can mutate the newest infections.
 
We need you to download and install an analysis and repair tool called HijackThis.
 
Download the zipped file from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html.  Please see the following link for information about downloading and other FAQ's.  There is also a link there to an .exe version of HijackThis if there is anyone who absolutely can not open a .zip file.  Please use this for that purpose only due to limited bandwidth, thank you.   HijackThis FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) also at: http://russelltexas.com/malware/faqhijackthis.htm
 

Please unzip HijackThis.zip or move the HijackThis.exe file into a new folder you create in the root (first) level of the C: drive. Name this folder HJT for best and safest results. Don't place it on the Wallpaper, in a Temp folder, or the My Documents folder. It will create many backup files and they need to be stored in a unique HijackThis folder. If it is properly placed it will look like this:   C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe. Please be careful with these instructions, a misplaced log can slow down your repair while it is placed properly.
 
After downloading, and unzipping the HijackThis file into a safe folder you create (preferably a folder named HJT in the first level of the C: drive)...run HijackThis, click on the 'scan' button and then 'save log' button.
 
Copy and paste the contents of the text file you save into a reply to this message. A lot of posters make mistakes here in copying and pasting so reread the left info sidebar called Copy and Paste at http://www.tomcoyote.com/hjt
 
Special Notice! HijackThis is a powerful tool that edits the brains of Windows (the Registry). DO NOT FIX anything in the HijackThis log screen without assistance from the experts! Most of the line items in the scanned log are normal for Windows operation. HijackThis should identify the vast majority of your problems and enable us to help you clean them off your system.
 
Stay in this thread for continuity. Reply to this message.
 
Thanks,
 
pskelley
In Training at TomCoyote.com and Spywareinfo.com

Please be aware only the following DellForum members were trained at TomCoyote.com and SpywareInfo.com to help with malware like viruses, worms, adware, scumware, foistware and crudware in general. They are also the only experts specifically trained to analyze and advise on Hijackthis logs: Texruss, Baskar1234, Grinler, ChrisRLG, SpotCheckBilly, and pskelley.

Also...these longtime DellForum regulars have proven to me time and again their advice is excellent for malware questions in general and many specific items in Hijackthis logs:  jimw, ddeerrff, and msgale.

That procedure was complicated enough on its own.  But thanks for any help you can provide.

By the way, the control v thing was new.  Does that work with  regular pasting?

Hi Maeleoin, With all explorer windows closed, open hijack this, choose scan, then put a check in front of these line items.

Then empty your recycle bin and reboot your computer. Then please follow the directions in this next link:

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

When this is finished, empty the bin, reboot the computer. Then, there is a new version of HijackThis.exe available, Please open HJT, and on the right side choose Config, Then choose Misc Tools top right,
then choose Check for update online.  Follow the directions to update to the newest version.  Then using version 1.98, post a fresh log for us to view.  There will be more to do.  Thanks...pskelley

Thanks.  Will do and report back.

Whew! This has been a job, and I wish I could say I knew what I was doing.  Here is the new log:

Comments: 016 entries for IE ActiveX scripts...It is good to clean out an excessive number of ActiveX scripts. They are easily restored when you visit that URL again if you know it is safe and accept the download of the expander or .CAB file.

With no other windows open click on fix checked button in Hijackthis.

Exit Hijackthis.

Reboot to SAFE MODE

Show HIDDEN FILES and folders

These necessary options are explained in FAQ's 8 and 9 on this page:

http://www.russelltexas.com/malware/faqhijackthis.htm

Hit Control-Shift-Escape keys at same time. Click on Processes tab and End Task for the following entries:

wintsvsu.exe

Open Windows Explorer: type the word explorer at Start/Run box and click OK:

Navigate down the folder structure in left hand window and then in the right window delete the following files and/or folders: (if present...some may be gone...but look very carefully and make sure you have enabled hidden files option):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\wintsvsu.exe    file
C:\Program Files\Acceleration Software   folder
Comments: eAcceleration foistware


Reboot in normal mode Windows and run Disk Cleanup: type cleanmgr at Start/Run. Scan all hard drives and check all categories at the end and click OK.

If you have any problems with Disk Cleanup completing...XP users can fix it here:

 http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/DeleteOldFiles.htm

Next...download and run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware) at the link below. Use Spybot first.

Most of the Internet baddies can be killed by a one-two punch with Spybot and Adaware assuming these three factors are achieved:

1. Latest version
2. Configured correctly for running options
3. New definitions from update feature

Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.

Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware...print out the directions in the custom scan tutorial as a reference while you set these options for the custom setup of Adaware. These custom settings will be retained for future custom scans so don't go nuts thinking you have to do this every time you run it! It may take you five minutes to set them up, but it's worth it.

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

Please note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.

Reboot and browse a bit, exit IE 6 and post a new Hijackthis log.

Special Comments: After the final all clear is given by us you should flush your Restore Points for XP. That means disabling the Restore Point, rebooting to flush it, then re-enabling a new Restore Point. The reason why we need to do this is to purge the bad files hidden in System Restore which can't be cleaned by your antivirus programs.
