Trojan Problem

My computer has slowed down by about 90% and windows is constantly telling me that it needs to add to my page file. Also, for no reason, my progam windows have begun to minimize themselves at ramdom times.

I have 4 new processes running that were not there previously. All 4 are listed as hpofxm07. From other posts this seems to be a trojan. I tried running Ad-Aware Pro but it hangs. Spy Sweeper says it found and deleted a trojan but the problem remains. I have run other programs such as Cc Cleaner, Spy Bot, etc.

I have included, below, a copy of my HiJack This log. I would really appreciate any help that could be provided to get my system back in working order. Thanks in advance for the help!

Welcome to MajorGeeks ***************!

- Please 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 and attach a log:


Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis


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 (these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)

• Bitdefender
• Panda Scan
• HijackThis

Good Luck!

 

I have completed all of the requested items. Additionally, I have included logs from Bitdefender, Panda and HijackThis.

Bitdefender did find a couple of files that were infected.

Please advise on what I should do next.

Thanks again for your help!

Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:

Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

Reboot to Safe Mode.

Delete the following files:
C:\Special\Archive\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2 V9\Goodies\PROGRAMS & EXTRA STUFF\WinZip 9.0.6224-SR1.zip
D:\Special\Archive\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2 V9\Goodies\PROGRAMS & EXTRA STUFF\WinZip 9.0.6224-SR1.zip
c:\windows\system32\cache32_dsktptr

Reboot to Normal Mode,

Post a fresh HijackThis log.

 

I have followed the instructions as noted above and I have included a new HijackThis logfile.

Thanks again!

As an update: Ad-Aware still hangs while checking in the memory section. It runs fine in protected mode; so something must still be loading that shouldn't. It always worked fine previously with no problems. Also, whenever I try to run Ad-Aware I always get the low memeory warning and adding to pagefile dialog.

Thanks again!

 

This may not help any in fixing my system; but I closed Spy Sweeper and then checked my processes and found that SpySweeper.exe was still loaded. I tried to end the process and access was denied. ????

PS: I closed Spy Sweeper because Ad-Aware seemed to hang when checking SpySweeper.Exe a couple of times.

Pleaase HELP!

 

Matt, Shadow, Anyone!? Help!

 

Your HijackThis log is clean.

You have entirely too many processes running. Both Norton and SpySweeper are resource intensive. Uninstall SpySweeper.

Does Ad-Aware still hang?

 

Everything is working correctly once again.

Thanks Shadow (and to the Major Geeks)! You're the BEST!!!

 

You're welcome and thanks for the vote of confidence.
