This isn't my computer, but this guy's been having slowdown problems with his machine, so I thought I'd have him give hijackthis a try to see if that caught anything... anyone notice anything here?

[badbilly27]

I could really use some help. Willing to donate via Paypal for your services - as I do not want to format my hard drive but this is nuts.

My log is below - feel free to PM me too. My problem: I've run CWshredder, LSPfix, Spybot, Spyware Doctor, AdWare Personal, SPySweeper, Norton, McAfee, Hijack This, and a fe more I can't quite remember aside from hours of manually eyeballing my registry to delete unknown items. My system gets clean and then, shazzam, new redirect and many come back. I believe I have something called "notifier dll" - apparently the hardest spyware to remove as no known software can elimiate it. Uggh. Please help Obi Won your my last hope!!

i have to say i did NOT like the recent version of Kaspersky. No doubt it is one of the best virus killers...but it takes quite a bunch of system resources and basically turns your PC in mere a "virus checking" machine with some deep sysetm changes i was not happy with.

Particulary the fact it creates NTFS ADS file extensions and basically modifes your whole filesystem without asking beforehand and without a easy way to remove these extensions. You need a 3rd party tool to clean your filesystem again.

Not enough - they say these ads extensions (which makes sense if you read the doc) are for significantly shortening scanning time since every scanned and ok file gets a checksum and information - this shortening the next time when it scans your system since the already scanned files are being skipped.

NEVERTHELESS i had occasions where it started scanning my whole system for some time, ALL files of it....while the last scan was just the day before...and obviously the extensions didnt help anything and for sure not making scanning faster.

I had other quirks (too much impact on system)...and then i tried Panda and finally NOD32.

Panda had some "quirks" too..one of the most obvious the prolonged login-sequence in XP where it (i think) was testing memory. I am a performance freak and just dont like to wait like 20seconds for some program to "test" everytime i login/boot in XP. Also..other minor quirks so i decided to give NOD32 a try.

As of now i am quite happy with NOD32...it is very "discrete" sitting there ansd almost not to notice...boot times are great.....everything is nice with NOD32. Thats how a virus checker should be. I am aware that NOD32 recognizing rate is somewhat less than Kaspersky's....but i really dod NOT want to turn my PC into machine which uses like 1/3 of its power to go virus hunting...that is just over the edge.

My $0.2

I'm consistantly having a problem with CWS/about:blank hijacking IE 6. I attempt to remove it by running Adaware and Spybot:Search and Destroy in safe mode, as well as two other programs called aboutbuster and CWShredder. After I complete all this, the hijacker will typically go away for several reboots, before coming back at seemingly random times, which warrants yet another safe mode removal session. This is getting to be a major hassle, as I can't get these hijackers to permanently go away, and I don't know how they keep coming back. I've also successfully eliminated a DSO exploit that was brought to my attention in Spybot, although the incidence was seemingly unrelated because the hijacing persists. My question is this: how can I permanently get CWS and about:blank off my computer?

I noticed I had an SAIS startup entry in my registry. Ran Ad Aware, which found:

But for some reason it didn't find it in my startup registry key, even after a reboot and rescan. Why?
The key being "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" with the entry "c:\program files\180solutions\sais.exe". Ad Aware is up to date.
Also tried Spybot (up to date), which didn't find it.
BTW, how does SAIS get installed?

Also is Viewpoint Manager and Media Player not spyware? I thought I read they were. I had viewmgr.exe running all the time since it was in the startup reg., so I removed it through add/remove.

I also had a TSA entry in add/remove, but when I try to remove it, it says 'error, may have already been removed'. Maybe it's a leftover entry from something Ad Aware removed before?

What other spyware detector should I be running?

i have to say i did NOT like the recent version of Kaspersky. No doubt it is one of the best virus killers...but it takes quite a bunch of system resources and basically turns your PC in mere a "virus checking" machine with some deep sysetm changes i was not happy with.

Particulary the fact it creates NTFS ADS file extensions and basically modifes your whole filesystem without asking beforehand and without a easy way to remove these extensions. You need a 3rd party tool to clean your filesystem again.

i installed kaspersky and found out that my internet stopped working;uninstalled it and internet worked again but in a laggy way.Could you tell me more about that 3rd party tool you used?what are those extensions?i am sure my problem can be blame on their damn antivirus.thanks.

Schad, whats up. If your still looking in here. I got the weather bug, its a fairly new version and i can't get rid of it. There, is no "uninstall" for it, and I've deleted it manualy but it still shows up in AV scans.

here is my log. I dont know how i got it, maybe AIM. GOD I HATE AIM but i have a ton of friends that are on AOL, so i cant get rid of it.

You could alternatively use the java version, AIM Express. Or Trillian.

I just checked through your whole log and it looks clean. :thumbsup:

Where is it showing up in your scans? Did you empty your recycle bin? Are your restore points enabled? If so, I would disable that feature, which will delete all the past restore points that can still contain old viruses/spyware.
