    In spite of antivirus protection, I have a sporatic undesirable rogue scanner program that pops up at random. Briefly I see a gomyron.com/... followed by a detection-file101.com/2009/1/?....etc. Earlier It was showing a systemscanner2008, then a pcprivacycleaner.com.

    Anyway, reading about it on the web, I see that it is likely a gomyron problem. As a result I have downloaded TrendMicro's HiJack this and would like to get someone to help me eliminate this bug.

    :cry

    Hello and welcome

    Hijack this is not sufficient for ridding your machine of malware. Please follow all instructions in this thread: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 and post all requested logs in the Malware Forum.

    Part of those instructions will involve installing software that includes Hijack This installed the correct way. So you should uninstall the one you have.

    well I have put in a few hours on this problem since I am not a techie. Also I haven't had a trojan problem or virus in ages.
    Anyway, I have: made sure nothing was in the quarantine in my resident f-secure program. then I check the add/remove programs. all ok there.
    Next, I checked msconfig, it was in the normal startup mode.
    Then I downloaded installeda and ran ccleaner.
    Next, we enabled the viewing of hidden files, systems files/ file extensions
    Then went to cleaning instructions for Windows XP
    Seemed to do ok until we got to combofix. I have the CD but cannot do a system restore because is use mirrored HD's. I am insufficiently computer literate to undertake breaking the mirror config. Is there a workaround?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help. I am not there yet. I did a reply but didn't notice it was back on the forum page. Sorry.
    Anyway, I followed all instructions down to combofix. Now I ran into a wall since I have a RAID (mirror) config running on two WD HD's. Is there a workaround.
    Up to now, the programs did spot and delete 2 trojans. One was trojan.winDLC/BoGo and the other was Trojan.Dropper/Gen/Portsv (2 items). I Have not been able to find them in the dictionaries? I still am getting the pop up site called: http://detection-file.com/2008/c.eb_freescan.php? aid=880689

    Thanks for your help

    YOu can skip that part of the instructions, but you can not skip the above instructions.

    This is not the malware section.

    OK, I got rid of the HiJackthis that I downloaded from trendmicro.
    Now, do I start the cleaning process all over with msconfig, ccleaner, etc.?
    I still have ccleaner, superantispyware, spybot, malwarebytes anti-malware and combofix installed.
    Also, I kept the logs from superantispyware and malwarebytes anti-malware
    Should I send them to you or post them now?
    I appreciate your help so much.

    ok, I have uninstalled hijack this. Now do I start all over again with the ccleaner, etc.
    Also, the notepad copies of the logs are attached.

    I'm sorry to be so slow. It's not easy to be a newbie on the forum

    Thanks

    Hi

    Moved your thread to the malware forum


    You need to follow the below steps and do these slowly, their is no rush, just print out the steps and then tick off each one as you haev done them, once finished, please attach all the requested logs as some logs are crucial

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run theREAD & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

    Greetings to all who were helping me with my trojans and downloaders.
    First I want to thank all who sent instructions on how to attack those "bad guys" in my pc.
    Ater struggling for a couple of days, I threw in the towel and went to the paid service on Symantec. After I signed up for $99, a gentleman far more experienced in virus removals, spent about 1.5 hours and cleaned out all the bad programs.
    I guess all's well that ends well.
    This is the first real problem I have ever experienced with any virus, trojan, etc. What an eye opener. I have always run behind a router/firewall and kept a decent antivirus program installed. Just goes to show I guess.
    Anyway, Thanks again,

    jesfrank

    Sorry you had to spend so much money on virus removal as we would have gotten you clean for free had you just followed our instructions.

    Hey Thanks..
    I'm getting ready to get out of town and I do a lot of business/church things on the pc, so I needed to resolve it quickly.
    I did learn a lot and will be able to better next time, but in the meantime, I hope it is a while before I have another problem like this.
    Cheers,
