701362 2008-08-30 05:05:00 My family computer was infected with the seekmo/zango adware program. I ran an internet virus scan (HouseCall) and it detected and apparently deleted the program, but when I look in the hard drive the files for the seekmo program still show up. Can anyone tell me whether or not i still have the problem and how to fix it??? jake1192 (13816)

Uninstall that useless Symantec program and install something better. ie: Avast or NOD 32.

Get trojan remover after you reboot, install and update it then click on scan. Then select all options in the utilities menu

Get Malwarebytes in my sig below. Update then scan

Uninstall Ares, thats probably how you got infected in the first place
Speedy Gonzales (78)
701367 2008-08-31 04:40:00 I fixed all the checked files on the test and after I rebooted all the files you said to delete where already gone. Is that normal? Also I'm not sure how to uninstall Seekmo - the files are still showing up but the program doesn't appear on the add/remove programs list. Additionally, I can't find the Zango folder that you listed under the Seekmo one. Please tell me what all of this means and thanks a lot for the help that you've given so far.

Also about Ares, I know for a fact that the Seekmo infection was downloaded (intentionally) by one of the kids using the computer and I'm not sure if maybe the other problems were caused by Ares. Please clarify.

I just realized i had trojan remover and my free trial ran out. Do you have any alternative suggestions or do you strongly recommend buying it?
jake1192 (13816)
701368 2008-08-31 04:45:00 Get trojan remover and malwarebytes in my sig below. Install and update both. Then click on scan in both. Then select all options under utilities in trojan remover

Then run my computer, highlight c / right mouse / scan with trojan remover.

Whatever it picks up delete it

If this file is still there C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\svchost.exe <-- delete it, it belongs to a trojan
Speedy Gonzales (78)
701369 2008-08-31 17:32:00 I ran the scan and the svchost.exe is still there but i can't delete it. Also it is found in four places: C:\Documents and Settings\Jake\.housecall6.6\Quarantine (svchost.exe.vir.bac_a03528), C:\WINDOWS\I386 (SVCHOST.EX_), C:\WINDOWS\system32 (svchost.exe), and C:\UBCD4Win\BartPE\I386\SYSTEM32 (SVCHOST.EXE) but not found in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\svchost.exe.

I can delete three of the four, with the one found in C:\WINDOWS\system32 being the only one I can't delete...What should i do?

In my task manager, there are 7 svchost.exe processes, should all or some be terminated?

701370 2008-08-31 17:49:00 They may also be hiding in your system restore if you are using that. Just a guess that is. rob_on_guitar (4196)
701371 2008-08-31 19:39:00 The only one you have to worry about is the one in this folder

C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\svchost.exe

Dont worry about the other ones. They're valid windows files

You cant delete - DON'T try and delete the other 3 (besides the one that showed in fonts). Theyre system files.

And are protected files, (and are needed, and will get replaced, if you delete them, and reboot)
