519877 2007-01-28 12:00:00 interesting...

i have run HJT, ticked and fixed the checked items, all the ones you said.
uninstalled java, and reinstalled the latest version and downloaded ccleaner.

now when I reboot the computer, I don't seem to be getting any popups at all (on the computer in general, or while using IE) BUT the task manager still won't come up. when I right click on the clock it's greyed out, and if i press ctrl + alt + del it says "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

why is this? has it not been removed properly? any further advice would be much appreciated. seems like its 95% fixed though, so am much further ahead than where I was yesterday!!

thanks again for your help!

519878 2007-01-28 12:07:00 No worries LD :)

Post an updated HJT log LD.

I'll check it again, later on today....

I'll see if u missed anything.

Get trojan remover (dl.filekicker.com) in the meantime.

From here (www.simplysup.com)

Download, install and run. Click on scan. Anything it picks up let it remove it. Then go to the utils menu. Select the 3rd to 7th option.

Then see if ctrl-alt del works.

519879 2007-01-28 21:56:00 updated HJT log file is below, i'm downloading trojan remover now so will see what results I get from that.
something else I forgot to mention is there are a couple of .exe files in c:\ which I'm sure werent there before. they were last modified at 12:03, which is when I got the virus. they are called "3456346345643.exe" and "syst.exe". any idea what they would be?

and another thing, why has mcafee not picked any of this up and fixed it?? isn't mcafee supposed to be one of the better virus scanners available?

thanks.

Most AV programs should pick things up, but it may depend on whether the update / dat file / includes the info, to detect new viruses / trojans / whatever it is .

I don't think any AV program is 100% . Even Symantec AV / programs aren't 100% .

Most of the HJT logs in here, show this is installed, and they still get hit by something .

Any files with strange names, are usually part of a trojan or worm . The same goes with strange names that u see in the task manager (when and if u manage to get into it) .

519882 2007-01-28 22:28:00 YOU LEGEND!!!!!! all back to normal now,everything is working fine. those files which I mentioned before are still in C:\ though, are they anything to worry about?

Cool! thats a good sign. Ummm run my computer highlight c and right mouse / scan with trojan remover (close trojan remover if its still running).

Let it do a scan and see if it picks up and notifies u of any strange exe files on C.

Trojan remover must have reset something or picked something up / removed it when u used the utils menu or clicked on scan.

519883 2007-01-28 22:36:00 sweet, I will remove those extra files through HJT, and will scan C:\ with trojan remover. after the previous scan with TR i still couldn't access task manager, it was only after I ran through the options in the utilities menu that it worked. the only thing it picked up during the scan was that dopewars file... littledevil (11823)
519884 2007-01-28 23:36:00 Next thing to install is a firewall, and SP2 if u want to install it. Speedy Gonzales (78)
519885 2007-01-29 01:26:00 ive scanned c: with trojan remover, and also scanned those two individual files and nothing has come up as suspect...

what is a decent firewall to get? are there good + free ones around?
littledevil (11823)
519886 2007-01-29 01:34:00 Everything should be OK then, if everything is working properly. B

The files u posted before, with strange names delete them anyone, they wont be Window files. (Or Google the name of the file/s you're seeing), if Google or Yahoo bring nothing up, delete them

Try Comodo (www.personalfirewall.comodo.com)

Its free, well Zonealarm is free, but u haveta register for some parts of it.

Comodo is free for life. Once it installs, (u may haveta reboot) it may bring up a windows asking u to activate it.

Just follow the link put a valid email in, they'll send u a code for it. Copy and paste it in, and its the full version.

Are u on a network/LAN or is this PC by itself??

If you're on a network, after Comodo is installed you'll have to configure it so the network works properly, when you're on it.

I would get SP2, since there won't be anymore updates for SP1.

Have u got SP2 on CD?
