    Last night I was loooking at my security logs and saw an anonymous logon. I went to conterol panel and deleted it. Also, at times it seems like the homepage is slow to load, although it does have a lot of graphics and is perhaps just slow.

    Anyway, not knowing what else to do, I went through all the steps for read me first malware removal. The logs are attached. I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look at them and see if everything is all right. Right now I notice no problems or weird behavior by the computer.

    Your logs do not show any malware issues. However they do show that you may need to reinstall E-Trust. Only your Firewall from them appears to be running. You do not have an antivirus running. In fact in your installed programs list it shows:

    eTrust Anti-Spam
    eTrust EZ Antivirus
    eTrust EZ Armor
    eTrust EZ Firewall <--- this is the firewall

    But only the firewall appears to be actually loading.

    thank you Chas............

    I use avg and it is most definitely running now, but I turned it off when I ran all the scans - I figured that this would help avoid any interfeence.

    Not according to your logs!!! All you have installed is AVG AntiSpyware not AVG Antivirus. Also note that AVG Antispyware provides no active protection unless you purchase it so it is not necessary to disable anything related to it if you only have the free version.

    Yikes, major brain fade! I somehow had the idea that avg was looking out for viruses too. Anyway I downloaded CA antivirus from roadrunner. I ran it and it says I am clean. Hard to believe, but it found nothing. Not sure how good CA is. Silly question: Do all virus scanners scan for trojans too, or do I need a seperate program for that? I am thinking about trying Kaspersky.

    Yes but I already said that you were. ;)

    All of them scan for trojans to some degree. Each program will find things that others may not. It is a very bad idea to keep installing antivirus program because they all leave lots of garbage behind which can have a tendency to slow your PC down. Whatever you do, make 100% sure that you uninstall ALL of the first program before installing the next.


    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. Uninstall SUPERAntiSpyware now
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop & renamed it like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\cf" /u
        • Notes: The space between the cf" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
      • Delete the C:\cf folder from combofix.
    3. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    4. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
