Need a Hijackthis guru

I recently got the Ceres pain-in-the-a** pop-up. I pretty much know how to get rid of it, having read a few posts, but wonder if there is anything else that I should remove. Maybe one of you HiJack gurus could take a look at my log file...

 

First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:


Download HijackThis 1.99.1

Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

Run HijackThis and save your log file.

Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).

Resolved: Need a Hijackthis guru

Thanks for the help - I have ridden my computer of this pest. Quite a time-consuming project though! Had a couple of viri embedded in files I would have never spotted without using all the cleaning programs.
The Help2go Detective site was very useful too, explained a lot of the HJT log file entries. Thanks, again.

 

Re: Resolved: Need a Hijackthis guru

Just to be safe, I would go ahead and attach a HJT log to so I can confirm your clean, its up to you though.

 

Ok, heres the log...

 

The X10 Device Network Service doesn't seem to get removed - I've checked it and fixed it, but its still there. Perhaps another program is loading it? It appears to be in my video card's directory - I will check to see if there is something I can set in the ATI setup that will ignore this. Thanks, again.

 

There is a bug in HJT thats detects certain services as (file missing). There not really missing if they come back its just the bug. However, if the program is uninstalled or corrupted then you will recieve this message and will have to manually remove it, only if its a baddie.

In your case I think your ok!

 

Your Welcome MA!

Hopefully Merijn will hurry up with V 1.99.2 that address's this issue and a few others.
