so I have this taskman trojan
I tried to use mbam to remove it
once detected and removed, the next time I do the scan it is always there

the issue is that it opens some weird internet page by itself, that's what I've noticed at least
no idea if there is something else

this is my last hjackthis log

Hi,

Open notepad and copy and paste next present in the quotebox in it:

Quote

reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v Taskman >> look.txt
start notepad look.txt

Save this as look.bat , choose to save as *all files and place it on your desktop.
It should look like this:
Doubleclick on it and notepad should open.
Copy and paste the contents of it in your next reply.

thanks for the quick answer

this is the result:

Hi,

This one is actually already detected by Malwarebytes, but now I see why it didn't in your case. Your database version is way outdated... So please update!

• Start MalwareBytes and click the Update tab. There click "Check for updates"
  
• Once the updates are downloaded, perform a quick scan again.
  
• The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log, then we'll proceed from there with new steps.

Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.

I'm sorry, I was pretty sure I did update it before but as it seems I didn't

here is the result:

Hi,

I assume you rebooted afterwards?
Does a next scan comes up clean now?

yes and yes
thanks for your help

[miekiemoes]

Glad I could help.

Please read my Prevention page with lots of info and tips how to prevent this in the future.
And if you want to improve speed/system performance after malware removal, take a look here.
Extra note: Make sure your programs are up to date - because older versions may contain Security Leaks. To find out what programs need to be updated, please run the Secunia Software Inspector Scan.

Happy Surfing again!
