My dad's computer- realsearcher homepage, possible virus, adware- HJT Log
Tom Myboy, you have been such a great help for me now I am hoping that you can help clean up my father's computer.
His homepage keeps returning to realsearcher.com. He also has a backdoor virus that he can't delete and now he can't seem to send or receive email now through Outlook Express. I am not sure if that is caused by this virus.

Hi again Matty,
There is quite a lot going on in this computer... Let's start with onlne virus scans from at least two of these sites: Trend Micro Housecall http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ Panda Active Scan www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/activescan Bitdefender http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php Please copy and paste the report logs into your next post. Then... Let's do some more cleaning up: Download Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition version 1.05 from: http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/ Run Adaware, click the "Check for Updates now" link. Install the latest reference file Perform a "Full system scan" with Adaware. Remove all checked items. Then... Download, install and UPDATE Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3. Scan and fix all items checked in RED. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html Reboot. Please move or unzip HijackThis to a permanent folder such as C:\HJT It is important that it is in it's own folder as it will make important backups of what we will fix. Please open My Computer > double-click your C:\ drive > File > New > Folder > name it HJT and put HijackThis into that folder Post a fresh HijackThis log. Tom

I've attached a Panda scan log and a new HJT log. The bitdefender scan was running really slow and would have taken forever. I ran Adaware twice on Full system scan and it seemed to freeze right near the end so I ran the smart scan and fixed the problem it showed. Spybot seemed to be successful.

![]() This one can go. It's another resource hog I missed the first time: O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Find Fast.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\FINDFAST.EXE In light of the recent infections, let's purge system restore. 1 Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2 Click the System Restore tab. 3 Check the "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box. 4 Click Apply 5 this will delete all existing restore points. Click Yes to do this. 6 Click OK. Reboot 1 Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2 Click the System Restore tab. 3 Uncheck the "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box. 4 Click Apply 5 Click OK. Create a new Restore Point: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore > tick Create a Restore Point > Next > enter a name for the Restore Point Creation (Today, Removed Spyware, etc.) > Create > Close. The date and time will automatically be added. Then.... These are tools that will help keep you from getting infected again: SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests. Blocks spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox. Restricts the actions of potentially dangerous sites in InternetExplorer. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method. http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareguard.html IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all. http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm#IESPYAD 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 http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm All are very small free programs. Occasionally check for updates. Check for updates for Windows and Internet Explorer every week or so. Download each critical update one by one, rebooting when necessary.. Repeat this until you get the message "no critical updates available" http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ Please take a minute to read: So how did I get infected in the first place? http://forums.net-integration.net/i...?showtopic=3051 Tom |
