    Sorry for starting a new thread with a Highjack this log but I need someone to take a look and I couldn’t really find much info. If you look there is the obviously Freshvideogals which is a bitch, and that ip above it. You delete them and they comeback. There is a file that is running that reproduces after shutdown and it just comes back. I know with another browser highjack you have to go into safe mode and delete winlogon.exe. I think this is the same thing but I don’t know which file. It’s technically a Trojan and I probably could delete it through Norton but I would rather do through hijack this. Hijackthis has the best shot cause CWshredder and all the ad-aware in the world won't rid this. Here it is.------------------------------thanx

    On your running processes list I found a suspicious item and after some research got the following info:

    isass.exe (or Isass.exe with capital i) is a virus added to the system as a result of variant of OPTIX PRO TROJAN that opens TCP port 3410 and allows a hacker to control an infected PC.
    (found it on this site http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/isass/ )

    Do not mix it up with Lsass.exe (or lsass.exe), since it is a Windows file!
    If you can't find any further information, delete this file along with those Regitry entries and see what happens.

    and youve definitely used ad-aware spybot and cw shredder all updated to the latest releases yes?

    @aurelius that looks clean to me just the normal process

    I'm confused here!:confused: I thought svchost.exe is a required Windows OS file for NT based systems. I believe however it is normally in system32\svchost.exe. So doesn't one have to be careful about deleting this file. Granted in the list above you do not exactly match having svchost.exe in system32 but shouldn't we be careful what is being deleted.

    It is ALWAYS in system32 unless it is a virus.
    Check the info at the 2nd link in my post above.

    BTW, Windows svchost.exe is not an "Online Service" ;)
