Hi, Having some problems with the above. After running Spybot, which did a lot of cleaning up, the 2nd scan came up with Virtumonde.prx but no action was taken. Therefore would like some help in solving this. I have read the instructions about posting a HJT log and have carried out a Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan and include the log, mean while a Panda active scan is currently running, which I will follow with HiJack This scan.
Thank you.

How is the system running in General?
Is there any type of activity that would make you think you're still infected with something?
I don't see anything obvious in the logs to indicate you still have Malware.

You have a tremendous amount of applications set to auto start when Windows starts.
Removing as many as you can would probably greatly increase the overall speed of the computer.

Thank you for your reply, the machine seems to be working normally, it greatly improved after the first MB scan. I had restricted my use of the machine during the problems but now feel confident about using it again. You are right about slow start up, not sure how to sort it out but I'll look into that.
Thank you again for your help with this, it is greatly appreciated.

If you like please post a new post in the regular PC Help forum and we can work on cleaning up some of your autostart programs.

For now please review the following information.

At this time your system appears to be clean. Nothing else in the logs indicates that you are still infected.
Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Disable and Enable System Restore-WINDOWS XP
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

Turn off System Restore

• On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
• Click Properties.
• Click the System Restore tab.
• Check Turn off System Restore.
• Click Apply, and then click OK.
• Reboot.

Turn ON System Restore

• On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
• Click Properties.
• Click the System Restore tab.
• UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
• Click Apply, and then click OK.

This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.5.2
Download it from here. Just choose a mirror and off you go.
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spybot properly here

Install SpyWare Blaster 4.1
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Blaster here

Install WinPatrol
Download it from here
Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here

Install FireTrust SiteHound
You can find information and download it from here

Install MVPS Hosts File from here
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
You can find a tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector
F-secure Health Check

Visit Microsoft often to get the latest updates for your computer.
http://www.update.microsoft.com

The windows firewall is not sufficient to protect your system. It doesn't monitor outgoing traffic and this is a must. I recommend Online Armor Free

A little outdated but good reading on how to prevent Malware

Keep safe online and happy surfing.



Since this issue is resolved I will soon close the thread to prevent others from posting into it. If you need assistance please start your own topic and someone will be happy to assist you.

The fixes and advice in this thread are for this machine only. Do not apply to your machine unless you Fully Understand how these programs work and what you're doing. Please start a thread of your own and someone will be happy to help you, just follow the Pre-Hijackthis instructions found here before posting Pre- HJT Post Instructions
