Something fishy maybe going on?!

Allright so I read through your read first section and no im not a noob, I run the usual, spybot, adaware, and ewido as well as having norton antivirus running. but I think I might have picked up something sneaky or just well hidden cause my scans come up clean other than a few weak(usual) tracking cookies. I will post my hijackthis log as an attachment and if someone could scan it for me and see if they notice anything out of the ordinary that would be great, and yes I do like porn so it is partially my fault

 

HijackThis is not a Malware Removal tool. It is simply a scanner that looks at registry keys commonly used by malware. A clean HijackThis log is not an indicator of a clean system.

Welcome to MajorGeeks.com!

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.

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:

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:

• runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
• newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
• CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
• Bitdefender - from step 6
• Panda Scan - from step 6
• HijackThis

 

I am not getting anything from scans on any of the software I use, but everyonce in a while i have been getting redirect links aka when I click on a link I get a not so expected page, it may be that they are just not so trustworthy webpages, but I thought that someone might be able to scan my logfile and see if there is anything hiding in there that I dont recognize. thanks for your time

 

Allright I went through and ran all of the programs and scanners up until the online scanners, because I dont use IE, firefox only. I posted the logs as attachments for runkeys, newfiles, and HJT. Also thru my scans I found no new problems and the only software I found was a viewpoint media player which I am pretty sure I had downloaded knowingly for a reason but uninstalled anyways. I hope that this is enough info for you to check my scans. thanks

 

The online scanners are required. IE must be installed on your computer, or it won't function correctly. It's that deeply embedded into the OS.

I need those logs.

 

damn I cant afford to waste 3 or 4 hours of my computer time on those scans, I have IE I just dont ever use it. Well I will give the scans a run over night and see if I can get them done. thanks sorry for being a PainInTheAss.

 

The counterspy scan come back completely clear, as well as the ccleaner, and the long for bitdefender is attached but is clean as well all that I have left is panda so I will get it to you when its done.

 

All right all the scans are done and all the logs are submitted with the posting of this reply, I am going to run a fresh HJT log for this reply as well. Thanks again for your time and patients.

Allright I followed all the directions except to delete limewire cause I use that program. The new HJT log and fixwareout log are attached. Thanks again for you time and effort.

 

Peer-to-peer file swapping programs, such as Audiogalaxy, Bearshare, Blubster, E-Mule, Gnucleus, Grokster, Imesh, KaZaa, KaZaa Lite, Limewire, Morpheus, Shareaza, WinMX and Xolox. Degrade network performance and consume vast amounts of storage. Create security issues as outsiders are granted access to internal files. Often bundled with Adware or Spyware.

Which is the case with Limewire, contrary to whatever claims Limewire may make their software is bundled with spyware and often what you are downloading contains a virus.

Your logs are clean. How is your computer running?

 

The computer is running great not that I noticed much of a difference but its very nice to know that I dont have anybody looking over my sholder and slowing down my machine. I use limewire for avi, mepg, and mp3s only, so I think that keeps me pretty much clear of viruses. Thanks again
