I've got virus's :P (hijack This Log included)

No problems about the delay, and your logfile now appears to be clean.

I notice that you do not seem to be running antivirus software. This is somewhat suicidal in today's digital world. AVG makes an excellent free antivirus client, as do AntiVir or avast!.

Below I have included some ideas on how to prevent future infections.

Please consider using these ideas to help secure your computer. While there is no way to guarantee safety when you use a computer, these steps will make it much less likely that you will need to endure another infection. While we really like to help people, we would rather help you protect yourself so that you won't need that help in the future.

Please navigate to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the Critical Updates for Windows. These will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer.

Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates or get into the habit of checking Windows Update regularly. They usually have security updates every month. You can set Windows to notify you of Updates so that you can choose, but only do this if you believe you are able to understand which ones are needed. This is a crucial security measuer.

As a minimum, you need at least an antivirus, firewall and some type of anti-spyware program.

I notice you are running both SpySweeper and AVG Antispyware, which is good. You might want to consider installing and running some of the following programs; they are either free or have free versions of commercial programs, and will work alongside SpySweeper and AVG Antispyware to protect you:

Spybot-Search & Destroy
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's
Immunize and TeaTimer features if you don't have the resident part of another anti-spyware program running.

SpywareBlaster
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent malware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.

SpywareGuard
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for real-time protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.

If you use Internet Explorer, it is a good idea to use IE-Spyad which provides protections against malicious websites.

Please keep these programs up-to-date and run them whenever you suspect a problem to prevent malware problems. A number of programs have resident protection and it is a good idea to run the resident protection of one of each type of program to maintain protection. However, it is important to run only one resident program of each type since they can conflict and become less effective. That means only one antivirus, firewall and scanning anti-spyware program at a time. Passive protectors, like SpywareBlaster and IE-Spyad can be run with any of them.

Note that there are a lot of rogue programs out there that want to scare you into giving them your money and some malware actually claims to be security programs. If you get a popup for a security program that you did not install yourself, do NOT click on it and ask for help immediately. It is very important to run an antivirus and firewall, but you can't always rely on reviews and ads for information. Ask in a security forum that you trust if you are not sure. If you are unsure are looking for anti-spyware programs, you can find out if it is a rogue here:

Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is a very good alternative. In addition to being generally more secure than Internet Explorer, it has a very good built-in popup blocker and add-ons, like NoScripts, can make it even more secure. Opera is another good option.
If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here
Opera is available here: http://www.opera.com/download/

Hopefully these steps will help to keep you error free. If you run into more difficulty, we will certainly do what we can to help.

And If you are 100% in never wanting it to happen again, You may want to save some money to buy a Paid for Anti virus. but as ceewi1 said, AVG is an exelent free Anti-Virus. A good free Firewall Is zone alarm. But if you don't want that, Turn on windows firewall, but it's basicly a wall made of straw.

GameMaster · 12-29-2007, 02:17 PM

Apart from Comodo it's the best Firewall, and be sure to keep it turned on.

Millsie · 12-29-2007, 03:30 PM

Yay

Thanks for helping me

Whats a nice anti-virus program? Cause I might go buy one...

GameMaster · 12-29-2007, 03:31 PM

The new ESET pack is certainly what I suggest.
If you find it too expensive by any case, get the older Nod32.

Punk · 12-29-2007, 08:06 PM

Norton 360 sounds good but again it's Norton and I think I'm the only one who likes Norton here lol

Millsie · 01-02-2008, 03:03 AM

Sorry for the slow reply...Haha yeah that would most likely be right..

Anyothers that you would recommend?
