749513	2009-02-20 02:52:00	Nothing to do with your HJT log but This ain't a cell phone mate, some of us get annoyed at reading txt speak in forums.	DeSade (984)
749514	2009-02-21 08:13:00	Speedy as usual, thanx for early reply. i have - Uninstalled windows defender tick-fixed all 8 entries you suggested. they are gone. closed browser Run ccleaner and removed the temp files etc downloaded & installed malwarebytes, updated it, then did a scan, finding 1 infected file (Backdoor.Bot). Deleted that file. I cd not find "askbar" to uninstall it. What is that? when im finished all this, think i shd install a new firewall. Wd comodo be yr top pick? mban (malwarebytes) log follows. Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 1 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Infected: (No malicious items detected) Folders Infected: (No malicious items detected) Files Infected: C:\WINDOWS\system32\system32.exe (Backdoor.Bot) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.	timmy5953 (6846)
749515	2009-02-21 08:19:00	It maybe ask.com? in add/remove program. Tick these entries as well then tick fix checked Its called ask.com search assistant or something Close browsers R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {0579B4B6-0293-4d73-B02D-5EBB0BA0F0A2} - C:\Program Files\AskSBar\SrchAstt\1.bin\A2SRCHAS.DLL (file missing) O2 - BHO: Ask Search Assistant BHO - {0579B4B1-0293-4d73-B02D-5EBB0BA0F0A2} - C:\Program Files\AskSBar\SrchAstt\1.bin\A2SRCHAS.DLL (file missing)	Speedy Gonzales (78)
749516	2009-02-21 10:32:00	Believe it or not - if you select a normal/default install of Comodo it will load in an infection. Select Custom / or advanced (cant remember which now) and you'll see it, BUT when installing the new Comodo Firewall/AV , it INSTALLS Ask.com unless you tell it not to :eek: Found it the other day when doing a test.	wainuitech (129)
749517	2009-02-23 09:08:00	Speedy In my Programs folder i came across two sub-folders called AskTBar and AskSBar , both empty . I deleted both folders . I have fix-ticked the 2 items(R3-URLS etc & O2-BHO etc . ) That has removed them . I have also downloaded Comodo – but installed only the firewall thanks to a timely caution from wainuitech . Should I do another HJT scan now & post it here?	timmy5953 (6846)
749518	2009-02-23 09:11:00	Yep, if you want, just to be safe:thumbs:	Blam (54)
749519	2009-02-23 09:12:00	You can post an updated log, if you like	Speedy Gonzales (78)
749520	2009-02-23 09:34:00	wainuitech many thanks for yr timely note. i found the reference to Ask.com during installation. I think it was when the instal option asked did I want to instal – just the firewall, or the firewall + AV. Option 2 included installing Ask.com. it was fine to go for option 1 as i have, & am happy with, avast! as AV security. ps - love yr tail piece message. in similar vein "when you have a hammer in yr hands, everything looks like a nail".	timmy5953 (6846)
