    I'll start by saying i've already read and did everything the Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal thread wanted me to do.

    I recieved a .exe file from a person and,not knowing the person I got suspicious and deleted the .exe. Then the person sent me a .png file of the same name so I opened it (Because I thought it was a picture,and I know,or at least hope viruses/keyloggers can't infect through .png files) And of course,no picture appeared on the viewer. So I ran a adware scan and a virus scan (pcpitstop's online virus scan) .The adware scan found a bunch of spyware but not a keylogger,and the anti virus found a virus. The name of the virus matched the name of the file i recieved,but now it was in .jpg form and in a completely different folder,so I went to the folder and deleted it.I then came here and followed your instructions. I ran ad-aware twice and it found a bunch of spyware the first time,and nothing the second time. I ran all the spyware removers you provided and deleted every bit of spyware they found.Then I ran AVG anti virus and it says it found 2 viruses,both called Trojan horse dialer.7.Al,and removed them both.I want to know if I'm safe from the person who sent me the file.Was I even at risk? I didn't open the .exe file...I'll make a hijackthis log.

    Here's the log.I can't seem to attatch it even though it's a .txt file.

    I don't think you did everything in the Tutorial. If you had, there would be a TrendMicro entry in you HijackThis log and also you would not be using an outdated version of HijackThis. You need to make sure you use what we give you not what you get from someplace else. Do not assume that you have the version in our links. Always click on the links and verify!

    You have a few trojans in that log. Please run the TrendMicro scan and then run the below:
    http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php
    http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ <--- Select AutoClean and the click Scan My PC
    http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4063.html

    Questions: What do you know about the two items below?
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpeedOptimizer] C:\PROGRA~1\SPEEDO~1\SPO.EXE -s
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Locksskip] C:\PROGRA~1\SPAMUS~1\64 pile dale.exe

    Did you download and install each of these? The first one seems like it is probably okay but the 2nd one I believe is a possible trojan screen saver.

    This line is a trojan:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [kdx] C:\WINDOWS\kdx\KHost.exe

    But I want to see if the above scans fix it. If not, run Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) and select processes and end KHost.exe.
    Then use HJT to fix:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [kdx] C:\WINDOWS\kdx\KHost.exe

    Then reboot in safe mode and delete the C:\WINDOWS\kdx\KHost.exe

    Do the same for C:\PROGRA~1\SPAMUS~1\64 pile dale.exe and
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Locksskip] C:\PROGRA~1\SPAMUS~1\64 pile dale.exe

    if you do not know what it is.

    Then post a new log as a .txt file attachment but use the correct version of HijackThis.
    There are no problems upload files with a dot txt extension like hjtlog.txt but note you cannot upload the same filename twice. So you would have to rename the file on each subsequent upload.

    Ok I'm finally done everything.

    TrendMicro found nothing

    Bitdefender found backdoor.izram.1.7 3 times.

    Rav found a virus and deleted it.

    The trojan thing appears to have found nothing.

    And when I went to take care of the 64 pile dale.exe thing it wasn't there anymore...I don't know what it is but it seems to be gone.I got rid of the khost thing.Here's the log.

    Looks to me like some one installed Perfect Keylogger Lite. It is not hidden and is not a malware program. Here is the process:

    C:\Program Files\Perfect Keylogger Lite\bpk.exe

    And here is where it loads:
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [BPK] C:\Program Files\Perfect Keylogger Lite\bpk.exe

    But if you did not install this, the question is who did? Is this your own PC? Is it shared with anyone else? Are your parents keeping an eye on you?

    You most likely can just uninstall it from Add/Remove programs. Here is a link on this application:

    http://www.blazingtools.com/bpk.html

    There are other things in you system that require fixing we can work on those after you decide what to do with Perfect Keylogger.

    It does not look like you fixed a couple of the O16 lines I gave you in a previous message. Or if you did fix them they came back because you keep going to all those online gaming sites. By the way using any form of Kazaa, is asking for trouble.

    You also appear to have two download accelerator packages installed and running. This may not be a good idea either. You have both SpeedOptimizer and FlashGet.

    I installed keylogger lite on purpose. I'm going to keep it. Do you know any alternatives to kazaa? I don't remember you mentioning any 016 lines.

    Ooops! My mistake. I was going on memory from your previous log. I forgot to add those in to my previous post. I'll put some stuff below. I don't use applications like Kazaa but I have seen others make references to using Emule which is here on MG's: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4302


    Run HijackThis and put checks on the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until all Internet Explorer sessions are exited:

    Other than Kazaa Lite and the two download accelerator packages installed and running. Your log looks good. Any problems?

    So does that mean I'm now safe from the person who sent me a keylogger? If I didn't open the .exe was i still at risk? I opened the .png would that have unleashed any keyloggers or viruses? Just for future reference if I ever recieve a .png file again.

    From all visible info in your log you look okay (other than using Kazaa, I don't consider it to be safe). You should not be at risk if you did not open or download the .exe file. As far as I know, double clicking a .png, which is not an executable itself, should only try to open whatever graphics program you have associated with it in order to display it. This in itself would not be expected to cause a problem. What program do you have associated with .png files?

    Windows picture and fax viewer.But when I did open the .png, a "virus" was detected,and it had the same name as the .png file i opened,but it was .jpg and in a different folder.I'm just curious to know how that could happen. But otherwise I'm fine,thank you!


    And by the way, the .exe was sent to be directly from the guy's computer,and the .exe was on my machine,so that means I'm all right as long as I didn't open it?I simply deleted it.

    Ok,well I think everything's fine then,if it was a keylogger it's probably gone.
