    You have one of the oldest versions of HJT I have seen in a while LOL!

    First:
    Please update your version of Hijack This.
    Second:
    Please EXTRACT HijackThis from the ZIP File to a Safer location. Here's how:

    To create a new folder:
    Click START > My Computer > Local Disc C: > Program Files
    Now, RightClick on an Empty Area and select New > Folder & name it HijackThis and ENTER

    To Extract HijackThis:
    Now, Right Click your HijackThis ZIP File and select Extract All > Next > and browse to your newly created HijackThis Folder
    (C:\Program Files\HJT) and click Next.

    The reason HJT needs its own safe folder is so that backups will be safely preserved. That way, if a mistake is made in the removal process, the mistakenly deleted entry can be restored.

    Third:
    Run these online virus scans and post your results!

    TrendMicro Online Scan
    Bitdefender online scan
    RavAntivirus online scan <-- select Auto Clean then click Scan My PC
    TrojanScan online scan

    After doing ALL of the above, post a fresh HJT log as an attachment to your post.

    i did the trendmicro scan and the results were no viruses.
    This was last night, and i am now scaning with the three other programs you've listed. Ill find out the results soon.

    THNXS

    Please look in Add or Remove Programs for the following and Uninstall them if found:

    WeatherBug

    Viewpoint


    Please print out these instructions so that you can operate with All Browser Windows CLOSED.

    Please make sure System Restore is OFF and the Viewing of Hidden Files & Folders is Enabled as per the tutorial.


    Now, look in Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) for the following running processes and, if you see any of them, try to END them:

    ViewMgr.exe

    Weather.exe

    iexplore.exe <-- End every instance of this process as requested!


    Now scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

    Make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    Again, make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    NOW:
    Please boot into Safe Mode with the Viewing of Hidden Files & Folders Enabled and navigate to and DELETE the following if they should remain:

    C:\Program Files\AWS ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

    C:\Program Files\Viewpoint ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

    C:\WINDOWS\System\blank.htm

    C:\WINDOWS\System32\NZDD.DLL

    NEXT:
    Run CCleaner

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start > Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.


    Reboot to Normal Windows , Scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.
    Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.

    Good Luck!:)

    hey i guess im still losing hard drive space. So what do I do now?
    The only thing i can think of is i downloaded steam inorder to play cs. I noticed it was a Win32 file from www.steampowered.com. I didnt think it was an issue but could u check my hijack this file. Oh and i got a anti virus(antivirus-personal edition) program and did a few scans with my anti virus programs. Nothing came up. Thnxs a lot!

    Um, my disk space is slowly decresing while im online, and while playing online games like Halo, and Counter Strike my connection is a lot slower than usual. The only thing i can think is i downloaded counter strike(or the steam program at least) and since then I've noticed im slowly losing disk space. Maybe its just me. The only things Ive recently installed was Counter Strike,, Call of Duty(i only play offline), and those anti-virus programs u recomended.

    I just dont know what is goin on LOL.:confused:

    Just wondering if u had some imput

    Since this most likely isnt Malware related I would recommend posting this in the Software Forum. Those guys will get you all fixed up.

    Be patient, this is a busy forum. Someone will get to you when time permits. There are only a few users who come in all the time and help users.

    umm well i got a question. u know the windows updates that periodically come up and are on the taskbar on the desktop. well they always inatall themselves when i shut down. but this one wont. so im wondering if its not actually an update, but a fake. just wondering cause i have been having issues with lossing hard drive space and ive done several scans with both a2 and antivir-personal edition, as well as spybot and simple stuff like that. they all say its clean. i thought maybe it was the program steam, for cs. like maybe i got something from someones server, but i dont know. this seems really wierd. like all i've done is uninstall programs to free up space.

    if this bugs the shit out of u with all these questions then say so, but u have been such a help and i've been the annoying questioner, lol.

    thanks a lot!

    also i have another question how could i learn to know what to delete and what to save on hijack this. im kinda curious on learning this stuff.

    sry another question :(
     
  28. bjgarrick

    bjgarrick MajorGeeks Admin - Malware Expert

    There have been several updates recently due to recent WORMS so I would recommend surfing in to windows updates to confirm you have all of the current updates.

    The best place to start is browsing thru the threads we have. The next thing, get different logs from the net and analyze them in some of the online HJT log analyzer, but be aware they are NOT 100% accurate but are close. Be careful what you remove with these, knowing which one to remove is something you will have to pick up as time goes by.

    Also, doing it everyday all day helps to! LOL :p
