349378 2005-04-27 08:58:00 Hi...This is the hijack log from my grandaughter's PC, which is in very poor shape. I have already found a lot of nasties but some of them are reborn after a re-start. It also will not connect to the net but after dialling, the handshake just turns into a reset for the whole PC. I have been going to try a clean install but then I remembered seeing Highjack. Way out of my league but it would be great if one of you Hijack wizards could interpret the log for me and maybe find the problem. Cheers Ken.

349379 2005-04-27 09:11:00 Oh dear god. Right now I can see 5 spyware processes running

press ctrl + alt + delete and get into taskmanager

Kill these processes

salm.exe
auto_update_loader.exe
mediapassk.exe
cxtpls.exe
mpdat.exe
bargains.exe

Then, download and run

Spybot search & destroy
Lavasoft Ad-aware SE personal
Microsoft Antispyware beta

I recommend that you allow either Spybot S&D or Microsoft Antispyware to have live protection. Probably Microsoft's antispyware, as it has a nicer interface for your granddaughter

Then run hijackthis again

349380 2005-04-27 09:21:00 Question number 1:
Did you disable System Restore before attempting any repairs?
If not, System Restore will helpfully put the crap back in for you.

Right-click My Computer on the desktop; go into Properties.
In the System Restore tab, click Turn off system restore on all drives.

:)

As well as Spybot & Ad Aware, download (from another computer) the standalone virus scanner Stinger (vil.nai.com). Not the best, but it may pick up a few things.

If this computer is on a network, I WOULD remove it / unplug it from the network, until u remove the above in Hijackthis. That MPDAT.Exe file is possibly a worm, which is network aware, and it'll infect the rest of the computers, if this pc is on a network.

349382 2005-04-27 09:28:00 I'd add that you definitely need to update this PC (i.e. Windows Update and find SP2 on CD) ASAP.

Also the ZESOFT service is dodgy see here (www.iamnotageek.com)

Plus a mountain of other stuff...

And check the hosts file. Should be in: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

349383 2005-04-27 09:37:00 er you could just reinstall windows & install spybot etc etc. Fatjoz (6366)
349384 2005-04-27 09:41:00 All good solutions. Paradox, is it possible for you to download either Adaware or Microsoft Anti-Spyware? If not, I'm happy to write them to a CD and send them out to you. Aurealis_ (7897)
349385 2005-04-27 09:55:00 I'd enable immunize on Spybot. And install Spywareblaster or similar and enable everything on it.
Make sure her firewall is configured properly and she hasn't allowed everyhting like most people do.
The more protection the better.

349386 2005-04-27 10:06:00 Not sure how much this will help, but my friends mum had a computer full of spyware/adware that kept coming back on restart, Ibooted it in safe mode and ran Lavasoft Adaware, it completely cleaned all the bugs and there haven't been any problems since then. lewisc (7929)
349387 2005-04-27 10:27:00 I had a quick search, and it hasnt been mentioned in the forums yet, but concerning HijackThis logs, theres a great utility online that can you give you useful feedback about your logs -

http://hjt.iamnotageek.com/

I think this should also be mentioned in the FAQ on Spyware, adware and viruses (pressf1.co.nz 16) under the HJT section. Also it is suggested to not post HJT logs in forums, but instead link to a log file. Log files are welcome to be uploaded at IF1 (sal.neoburn.net) (.log is fine to upload).
