hdawg12 Posted June 21, 2012 ID:562947 Share Posted June 21, 2012 hi guys,I'm fairly new to hijackthis, but I want to make sure that I dont have anything malicious in my computer registry's. I downloaded hijackthis and scanned my registry files. I have the logs and would like some feedback. I just want to make sure I delete the proper files and not a registry file that I really need.Can someone analyze my logs and tell me if they see anything suspicious or dangerous?I appreciate it.Thanks.hijackthis.log Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Naggar Posted June 21, 2012 ID:562954 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hello and welcome to MalwareBytes forums.First, have you scanned your system with your antivirus? Gotten a "clean" result?Why do you suspect that your system has "something amiss" ?Have you made a run with an updated MBAM ? what are the results?

hdawg12 Posted June 22, 2012 Author ID:563298 Share Posted June 22, 2012 there are trojans that can bypass the antivirus and hide themselves in registry's, like rootkits. That's why I wanted someone to look at my scan results and see if there is something I may have missed. The antivirus can scan the computer and find nothing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there's no trojan hiding behind something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you say about hidden malware is all true. It takes a few tools to pin down malwares.Seems to me you are focusing too much on "registry". Better to run general scan tools, like your antivirus, and one or 2 of online scans; then see what the results are.ESET Online ScannerBitDefender QuickscanTrend Micro HousecallF-Secure Online ScannerPanda ActiveScanAlso suggested: run the Microsoft Windows Defender Offline. This is an "offline" tool that you boot the pc with and scan your system for malware.To get started, find a blank CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with at least 250 MB of free space and then download and run the tool—the tool will help you create the removable media.The basic sequence of steps area) Download and SAVE the tool to a unique folder/location on your pc b) Create the CD/DVD/USB-flash drive with toolc) Set pc to boot from the offline mediad) Place media in & restart systeme) Run the tool. Have infinite patience & have it scan the entire system. Remove any malware that is found.Download & info link http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offlineThe frequently asked questions for this tool http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/windows-defender-offline-faqI am suggesting you do some legwork before asking if your system to be looked over.Also, we do not ask for a Hijackthis log in our preliminaries.Please print out, read and follow the directions here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawg12 Posted June 22, 2012 Author ID:563349 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Im not really focused on my registry's all that much. I always run my general scan tools first. Actually this is the first time I'm using Hijackthis. I thought this forum was helpful, but I guess there aren't to many knowledgeable people in here. That's fine. Thanks anyways. I'll look into those tools. Have a nice day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
