Codec Media Trojan

darkwingduck · Dec 7, 2006

Alright.

So my big sister happened to of course get a media codec virus on her computer, some things in the task manager that continue coming back even when deleted in safemode are: isamonitor.exe and some others.

i have a report from a HijackThis - v.1.99.1 scan, but im not finding anything that's threatening to the computer..ive also run a spybot - search and destroy and removed the programs in safemode, and they no longer show up in the scan but i continue getting the flashing sign on my taskbar talking about my 'critical system erros' and it wants me to go download a program that will remove it, which is pretty much a bunch of b.s. lol

anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to Majorgeeks!

Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.

Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:

Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.

When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:

CounterSpy

AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy

Bitdefender - from step 6

Panda Scan - from step 6

runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat

newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat

HijackThis

NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
