hijackthis log-ayone wanna check it out???

hi guys...first i sould let you know im a computer-tard. ive been using norton and spybot s&d up until today. there were some things that norton couldnt delete so i was searching google for solutions and eventually ended up here. i read a few threads and found hijack this and ad-aware. i dl'ed those and ran them. adaware found a ton of malware. i checked those out adn deleted them. then i ran spybot again and that was clean. then i ran hijack this...so heres my log. i hope it was ok for me to post a whole enw thread for my log and whatnot (might have missed a thread just for those) i know some forums are picky about where to post what. so sorry if i did something wrong!

and if anyone enjoys looking over logs or wants to let me know if anything is looking suspicious in mine, here it is (or at least i think this is what im supposed to post), and thank you! :

Sounds like you took some very good steps in the right direction. Starting a new thread is actually prefered.

You do have a lot of running tasks. In the future when you run hijackthis, you should close all your programs and end as many non-essential tasks as possible. (read Jim's notes on taskkill in this thread: http://www.ozzu.com/mswindows-forum/highjackthis-and-spyware-removal-resources-and-tips-t31034.html)

I took a very quick glance and nothing really bad jumps out at me. I don't think many of us here that look at these logs are overly fond of KazaaLite, but at least that's better than Kazaa. At least there's less risk of stuff coming back to haunt you.

These probably aren't a problem, but we might look into fixing them since it shows (file missing). Hang tight on those, though until somebody has a chance to do a bit of research. Currently they aren't hurting anything:





For being a "computer-tard" (your words, not mine *lol) You didn't do too bad at all!

haha, maybe ill just label myself as not that great with computers then

thanks a lot for checking it out, too!
ill check back often to see if anyting pops up.

i re-scanned my computer with norton while i was away (and after i ran hijack earlier) and came up with these, and norton isnt fixing them, deletion is failing

got any cures??

BridgeX.dll
twaintec.dll
2_0_1browserhelper2.dll

thanks again! and im glad i am on the right track

Run Norton in safe mode.

I don't see those anywhere in your log. They are probably quarantined from an earlier scan. Norton will still find them every time it scans (even though they are quarantined. Open Norton and check your quarantine. You will probably find them there. Delete them from quarantine. Look at your scan settings. I believe Norton's default is to first clean the file if possible. By default, the second option is to quarantine. Change the second option to delete. If it can't be cleaned, you don't need it.

awesome, thanks again!

i have one more question. my friend has backup files on his computer from after he had hijick delete/fix 3 things (apparently the wrong ones) now his start--> search function doesnt work. could you tell me how he could restore those? when i looked they were in a folder and there wasn't anything to click that said restore so me not knowing much, came here.

thanks a bunch!

We'll need more details than that. Post them in a new thread when you get them. Please include operating system. Assuming he/she is using XP, he/she might be able to restore from a prior good configuration point.

Hello matix

If you feel Norton has missed something or will not delete / quarentine an item you can try this free online scanner using Housecall
I have found Norton has failed me numerous times after using Housecall.

I actually have removed Norton and installed a great Anti-Virus program called NOD32.

"Unique technologies built into NOD32 Antivirus suite of programs result in unprecedented detection efficiency and the highest hard disk scanning rates. The most prestigious international awards earned by NOD32 Antivirus system are presented below. Among the awards, Virus Bulletin 100% Awards are of special importance due to the high professional recognition of this international publication on computer virus prevention, recognition and removal. NOD32 have earned the award a record 28 times already. Since the first submission of NOD32 for Virus Bulletin testing in May 1998, NOD32 system did not miss a single "In the Wild" virus in any of the tests"
