    Hello! I have come to you folks knowing you have been fixing computers online through this forum for a long time. I am going to give a donation! I just need to make sure I am able to do it securely as all of the computers behind this router are infected. Also, the router itself, when I log into it and block certain ip addresses and ports, still allows tons of traffic through, and I know because both the internet light on the cable modem and the bandwidth light on the router are moving excessively.

    This WinXP computer is infected, and I know XP is unsecure, but it is the only computer able to use the printer we have. If you don't want to work on it, that is understandable. I will just throw it out and not have a printer.

    I also have a question about my router's log. One certain log regarding busybox sticks out.

    Dec 31 17:00:07 syslogd started: BusyBox v1.17.4

    The date was actually was sometime in October, but it says Dec 31 every time it performs what I think is a command for whomever is in control of it. If you want to check out the router logs, I would be ok sending it privately to one of you just to look at.

    Thank you!

    Here is the hitman log, as it was too big, and had to be cut in two.

    Regarding BusyBox:

    It's a UNIX application commonly used with DSL routers.;)

    Reviewing the logs now...

    5. We are going to be uninstalling your old version of FireFox and installing the new version. (Use Revo Uninstaller to remove it http://majorgeeks.com/Revo_Uninstaller_d5706.html) So do the below to save bookmarks:

    • Run FireFox and click Bookmarks.
    • Then select Organize Bookmarks.
    • Then on the next window click File and then select Export. Save the bookmarks.html file to your Desktop for later use in importing.

    Now download and save the installer for the current version of FireFox but DO NOT install it yet. Get it here: Mozilla FireFox

    You will need to exit FireFox now and use Internet Explorer to continue with the below until we reinstall FireFox.

    Start by uninstalling FireFox and then reboot. Do not skip the reboot.
    After reboot, delete the below folders:
    • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    • C:\documents and settings\UserAccount\Application Data\Mozilla

    where UserAccount is the actual user account name being used.

    Now reinstall FireFox from the file previously downloaded.
    Import your bookmarks file. (similar process to exporting).

    Thank you!

    1. Done.
    2. I have no clue. However there is an lxdd.log in the root. I can attach it or copy and paste.
    3. These two entries were not on the scan the second time around.

    - [PUP] HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D824F0DE-3D60-4F57-9EB1-66033ECD8ABB} -> Found
    - [PUM.HomePage] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main | Start Page : http://start.mysearchdial.com -> Found

    4. Done.

    9. Done
    10. Done
    11. Done
    12. The boot speed from power on til windows logon is the same. That's ok. The speed in which it loads start up items and services is 10x faster. It's amazing! Thank you so much!! Also, the user names are listed again with the processes in task manager, which is cool. And the hard drive has stopped running constantly, which is excellent.

    I don't know if it is too late for this info, but before getting on majorgeeks, I downloaded Kaspersky and ran that and it found and quarantined updatetask.exe and rlls.dll. It calls them adware.win32.dealply.x and monitor.win32.rk.ey respectively.

    I really need to thank you for your rules regarding just making logs and not deleting what you see after scanning. When things pop up on scanners, I've always just wanted to delete them to death, but I see now there is a way to remove these things, but you need to find the root of the problem, and not just what appears to be symptoms. Props to whomever had the patience to figure that one out, lol. :-D

    I thought it might be something to do with Lexmark. Ahhh it is. ;) Don't worry about it.

    Re run Malware Bytes once more and attach log.

    Go ahead and let Adwcleaner remove what it finds.

    I don't know why Hitman is still showing signs of garbage in Firefox settings considering you uninstalled and reinstalled....

    Try this Reset Mozilla Firefox to defaults

    Then re run Hitman again and attach log.

    lol. That's why we don't run to the delete button. I saw 2 lxdd services and was going to 'sc delete' them! :-D

    Just an update.... The names of the users in task manager have left again.

    Seems like we are playing tug of war with something every time I reboot. Here are the logs. Lost user names on task manager again.

    Hey Kestrel13!, I really appreciate your help but I have problems that need to be fixed before I try and fix my computers.

    The router I was discussing earlier, an Asus open source compatible router, was attacked, and the culprit gained access to it, and used busy box to change the firmware, amongst other things.

    I was just logged on to the router as admin, and it told me that an android was connected via lan wire to the router. I went to the router, and the physical lan slots were empty.

    Another thing is that I changed the password for wireless connection, and didn't update the password on my computer and a few tablets and phones around here, and they still connect using the old password.

    Whomever did this completely removed security from the router.

    I will come back to majorgeeks when I have a hardware firewall and another router so I can be secure again.

    Thanks for helping me.
