Pop ups-Malware what can i do?

Mr2Doze

New Member
I just downloaded avast & ran a standard scan.
It showed Malware/adware.
I used internet explorer but switched to firefox cus i kept getting pop ups, that seemed to stop them completely & now they started again.

didn't show hijack log thingy??
Didn't allow me to past either, but here it goes:
27 infected files & even though i never had any problems ever in 6yrs this is the 1st & i don't know much.

win32:adware-gen[adw]
vps version 000730-1 4/2/2007

win32:trojan-gen[other]
virus/worm

win32:dialer-gen[trj]
dialer
win32:porndialer-cc[trj]

win32:dialer-457[trj]

win32:agent-rd[trj]

It's weird though, yesterday i did something different & it did show a hijack thingy.
Did i run the wrong scan??

It showed only 2 infected files yesterday on the other hijack thing.
Need help, guess this happens when you let others on your comp to roam.
thanks in advance
 
Hey MR2Doze!

Hmm, after you run HiJackThis you should just be able to "Copy + Paste" the results directly to the forums. All it is is text. Try another HJT scan and it should let you do that.

If you read the "Essential Read" thoroughly it's not hard to follow. But if you have questions about any of the steps post them here and we'll try and get you answers quickly. Sometimes if you're infected enugh with viruses or trojans it won;t even let you run certain programs/ scans, hopefully that isn't the issue.
 
Ok,
i ran the spybot sd & it killed 297 files but onlt 1 it said it didn't.
I'm still gettin pop ups like those pesky emiticon smilies.
I clicked on the blue link to hijackthis & it opened up but...

where it sez:save file is ghost( can't click on it, kinda transparent) can only click on cancel so couldn't do the log file thing.
Help please :)
 
Ok, here the hijackthis log:

Someone will check your HJT log as soon as possible. I'm not that experienced with reviewing these logs :-/
 
do you have spybot teatimer running at startup? also do you have adaware adwatch running at startup?
also do NOT use IE, it has many bugs nad open ports, use firefox always, and make sure you keep your spyware apps up to day with latest updates.
 
I would suggest using AVG Anti-Malware Free. I tried Avast! once and I didn't like it. AVG rules! :cool: Also try to use Firefox instead of IE. IE7 isn't quite as bad as previous versions but I would still suggest not using it. I use Firefox and it's great. A final word, Don't use Avast, one time it actually deleted one of my system files that was not even infected. Since then I've used AVG.

Ok,
i found & deleted mail skinner & viewpoint.

Didn't see the other's in my programs, so i guess i don't have those.
I haven't been using IE for like 4mths now because of all the annoyances with ad & such.

I've been using Firefox with no problems since then, til my post on here that past week tons of pop ups.

I downloaded Avast & really ain't doing much for me & for some reason i don't like it.
I downloaded hijack this, spybot search & destroy windows defender.
Think i had downloaded avg before too, but can't find it no icon on my desktop either i know there was a 2.0 i think update??

But it seems that now there's just even more pop ups!
Windows defender shows nothing, spybot shows some & i fix them but pop ups are coming back even stronger?

Should i download avg again & wich one since i can't seem to find it on my comp??
I know in an option it shows only teatime something (have no idea what that is) & IE option, i just leave them both checked in one of the programs, forget wich one asks this.

Do you folks think it might be Imesh??
My niece downloaded it without me knowing & it seems they started showing up after.
Thanks in advance

To eliminate ads and pop-ups in Firefox, download the AdBlock Plus extension. Since I started using that I have not seen a single pop-up and only the occassional banner which can also be blocked just by right clicking and selecting 'AdBlock'. Great program, get it.

Edit: AdAware is another great program which is free and eliminates spyware and adware.
