Pc running 2000 professional which I think has been hijacked and has perhaps other malware problems. I don't know 2000 at all. Programs work and you can hook up to the internet, but as soon as you do, according to the connection status, it is sending out bytes by the thousands rapidly and receiving some bytes and therefore I cannot download anything to fight what I believe are hijacks/malware etc as the line seems jammed and all the programs say unable to download. You cannot also it seems hook up to his home page. Email jams up as well. I managed to copy the "hijack this" program from my laptop to his pc and thus I can post this log of his pc.If we can stop the hijack etc and I can download from the interent, I will update his Norton, download ad-aware and spybot and spyblaster and show him how to use these to prevent this in future.
I had a malware infection some time ago, which I hope is gone. Then later I had a firefox update and now all things have gone wonky. For some reason my internet connections reset to using a proxy. Once I unchecked that option in Firefox and also under LAN settings, at least I now have both Firefox and IE working again. But I can't go to Windows Update website, or really most microsoft websites. On either browser. They both give me error messages. I am suspicious that it has something to do with the malware but I don't know what to do.
Im currently running a Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows Home edition. I recently scanned with ewido and ad-aware, i could not run the ad-aware in smart scan mode (my computer would go to blue screen with fatal system error and would shut down if i did).I accidentally download a winfixer application a few months ago. I quickly uninstalled it after after reaslizing that it was not part of the windows secruity suite.
I recently downloaded ad-aware and scanned comp,the files are now quarantined, but i still get pop ups while using internet explorer.The last scan verified that i had trojans, and data miners all which were quaratined, but i still get pop ups (even with those sites on my blocked list). Is there anything i can do to stop the pop ups, and to over all get rid of the infection i have on my computer?
I'm running XP on a sony vaio laptop. I accidentally agreed to some prompt while browsing the internet and next thing I knew, popups everywhere and the screen froze. Everytime I restarted, I couldn't do anything but access taskmanager or msconfig. I had excess of 65 processes running. After starting in safemode and uninstalling a bunch of malware (still have command.exe on there that I can't delete and I know nail.exe still present) I can actually do stuff like open IE although I can't use it. At one point I found the app kill32 and ran it because I figured it couldn't get any worse and after that it stopped freezing on startup. Now there is this weird DLL error that comes on when I reboot. Anyways, is there anything specific that I should look for and can eliminate manually? I don't have any anti-virus progs or anything like adaware.
I've got this **** virus that hijacks your homepage and generally drives you crazy. I've run Spybot, Adware, Norton, etc and they clean everything except this virus. I've run HJT and will post the log here. Oddly enough I think I go tthis yesterday while updating XP from the Microsoft site.
One other possibly related thing is that I can run more than one user account simultaneously. If I try to switch to another user account it just cycles and then comes right back to the log on screen.
Here's the log files from a few mintes ago. Was tempted to delete it all but being a novice I figured I'd blow up the whole system.
I have a lot of malware on my computer. I have run ad-aware, spybot, avg anti-spyware, and some others all in safe mode. Still I got lots of issues. Ran Kaspersky Anti-Virus and avg anti-virus, but like before lots of problems still.
Recently I removed all malware from a friends PC 'that I could find' with x2 spyware removal tools, sophos anti-virus app and manually looking through program files in explorer.Since doing this I have stopped all annoying pop-ups and IE is running a lot quicker but there is a RUNDLL message that I cannot get rid of: Error loading c:Documents and Settingsusername locals settings empse.dll The specified module could not be found.I have cleared out the temp file in hope that something in there was looking for se.dll but no luck.
i had a malware virus that was removed by norton, its stuck in a log on log off loop, i tried a image file it did not work, next step in hard drive removal,can some tell me how the network 2 computers so i can change the registry to usernet or whatever
I had a friend over looking stuff up on the net on my system. One of the sites he was on was infected but my antivirus blocked it. When i restarted my computer it was running at a constant 50% cpu usage.went to task manager and saw one of my svchost.exe running at 50%. I closed it out then my cpu restarted on its own. When I got back on its still running at 50%. I tried scanning for virus and malware but it showed up as nothing. I used avast and malwarebytes.
i was wondering if these two was really a malware. coz this two was detected by my avira at the start up.are there any errors on my system? or this two was really infected?
computer is infected from a malicious program which always prompt to download a antimalware program. it happened when my friend tried to browse a porno site, nfortunately, my pc doesn't have antivirus or any internet protection... what should i do? when i open my internet explorer, it gives me a new defualt home page which informs me that my computer is infected and i have to buy their software to eliminate the problem. i believe my internet explorer is infected with a malware virus
The guy who carries out any repairs or adds/replaces any hardware on my system told me about a great new security program he had found titled Emsisoft Anti-Malware. I downloaded this yesterday and noticed a feature called Hijack Free which I thought was probably similar to the old Hijack This, anyway I did a scan then clicked on a button for an online analysis which reported that I had 35 Trojans.
Niece's netbook (Asus EeePC) running Windows XP has rather suddenly slowed to a real crawl. Think 5 minutes for a right-click menu to open, for example, instead of a split second. Last night I summoned the patience to start up the already-installed AVG virus scanner, and while it took hours and hours, it found zero problems. Ran CCleaner, no change.The desktop, icons, etc. etc. look correct and nothing seems awry except for the intolerable lack of speed. I realize it could still be a virus or malware, although I'm thinking of other explanations as well
I had some malware or adware that I got rid of , I think. In the process, I may have made a mess of things and now I have this blue screen appearing regularly with the message: "page_fault_in_nonpaged_ area " along with some instructions to disable bios memory options such as caching and shadowing and it often reloads. There are also some 0x00000050 type numbers that change each time.I also upgraded to service pack 3 with no change.I can usually hit function 8 and I am back in business unless I let the machine sit idle when the blue screen reappears. I reinstalled XP with no different results.
I recently ran a scan in ewido and it detected 4200 malware however it won't delete or fix any of these problems and the log is too big to post on the forums.
After waking from hibernation, my system has been freezing or crashing. The video is also fuzzy and slightly pixelated for a minute, then it clears up. Sometimes after the crash, I'll get a message floating on the screen "Set resolution to 1280 x 1024" or something like that. The screen has been set the same since I purchased the computer. I did try resetting the resolution, and I am still crashing. I followed the procedure for malware and came up ok.
I've been completely annoyed by idiot svchost.exe problems I have left Malware Bytes Anti-Malware running the whole night, foudn nothing, the next night, left the computer running AVG and nothing either everything with the latest updates and deepest/slowest scan I downloaded Advanced SystemCare 3.1.1, found some crap along my computer, repaired everything and then restarted. Everything seemed to work great (a noticiably better speed) and then svchost.exe error comes up again, I installed ServicePack 3 and the svchost.exe error keeps cooming up, everytime with a different error code and about 5-6 of them.
Neighbor's Dell 8250 PC. XP Home. Comcast. Linksys WRT54GS. Cleaned the PC a month ago, installed Norton 2005, WiFi setup on her new Dell laptop (also running XP Home), shared the printer, everything worked GREAT until she got hit with a NASTY piece of malware. Popups like mad .... she soon discovered she could no longer print from the laptop. I Installed Microsoft Antispyware, found and cleaned some stuff. Then rand Trend Micro's online spyware scan, found even more. Popups gone, system is stable, but we still cannot print via the laptop. Printer is shared properly and operating normally via the desktop.
Checked USENET and Microsoft.com - began suspecting Windows Firewall was compromised. It was OFF (and I know it had been ON before), all settings were dimmed out, message @ top: "For your security, some settings are controlled by Group Policy." User is a local administrator. Can't run Policy Editor in XP Home, but I found reference to PolicySettings.xls, which has registry keys for every OS.....
I believe one of my computers is infected with a virus. I have virus removal software (malwarebytes), however when I try to open the .exe file nothing happens.It seems that my computer can no longer open .exe files and thats a serious problem for me in getting rid of the malware on my machine.
So it seems that I have 2 problems now.
Problem #1. My computer cannot open any .exe files.
Problem #2. My computer is infected with some type of malware
I get the Windows XP splash screen, then sometimes it takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes to boot up. I checked the startup folder and the services/.exes running during bootup. Nothing out of the ordinary, but maybe i do not know what im looking for.I know that it is NOT spyware/malware/viruses....just recently it has become slow and i have no installed any software or anything
I have a problem that's probably tied to another problem. I opened an e-mail that I shouldn't have and got infected with something. I ran scans from Norton 360 and SuperAntiSpyware and other online scanning sites but I could not locate the malware. I paid a Symantec consultant to remove the infection from my system and he says it is clean. In the meantime, because my computer would randomly shut down and I was afraid that it would not recover, I reformatted my hard drive and re-installed all my programs. My computer does not recognize my video card and I have put in countless drivers to repair it with no success. Although my computer is more responsive and stable I am still plagued with random shutdowns from time to time. It sounds like you would hit the enter key and it would stick and continually click until I get a blue screen.
how to remove this trojan from the file? Submitted to McAfee and they said this is hueristic and may be a false positive but they are annallizing and will get back to me. I thought I could get support from this forum about this and other?
Every time i load my IE up it changes my home page from yahoo to: http://safeiepage.com/. I have been hit with a dose of something bad on my pc. I know McAfee keeps telling me i need to uninstall some Generic PUP.c but i dont know how to do that! ive used ad-aware,mcafee vs,windows defender,cwshredder,and spysweeper, and nothing is helping.
I have two problems that I think are connected. Every time I turn on my computer and log into my account on Windows I get between one and three error messages that say, "Norton does not support the repair feature, please uninstall and reinstall." I thought at first this was stopping some needed application, but the more it happened and from reading Norton's alert logs, I think it is malware trying to repair itself and Norton is stopping it. The alert logs say something about a Trojan Horse everytime I turn my computer on. In addition, if I go online as soon as I log onto Windows then it says that a "recent attempt to attack my computer was blocked." - I think this is related to the error message and Trojan horse
my sister's computer wasn't working after she said the power went out and back on while she was on it I don't believe this is true, I think it is a virus or malware problemAnyway, back to the problemThe windows start screen starts, and then a blue screen pops up for half a second, and the computer restarts, over and over again.. I can't get the computer fixed with a Windows CD because she lost hers!
Computer was loaded with spyware/malware etc. Got malewarebytes to run and it found 216 items EX) Trojan.Vundo.h, etc.
After removing what malewarebytes found, it said to restart the computer. Well upon restart, I now have ONLY the desktop background. No taskbar, no desktop icons. I can do a ctrl-alt-del lol. I can run new task to get online
Windows XP desktop freezes when exiting programs. Also some of windows applications load very slowly. The windows search icon is displayed for 10 seconds or more while loading the control panel, search or help utilities. I am using Mcafee security suite and fixcleaner for security virus and malware protection. These programs show a clean system. Also desktop icons are blanked out for at least a minute when leaving programs. When the icons fill in the system operates fine.
For the past 2-3 days, I am facing a wierd problem. When launching any program in Windows XP SP2 ( be it wither IE or Word or Excel), a COMMAND WINDOW Opens up and remains open till the application is shut down. Closing the Window also closes that application. I have Mcafee Anitvirus which is kept Current and I use SpyBot S&D for Adware and Malware removal. Here is the commands that appear in the Window and these are pretty much same for any application.
