hi, I have winfixer popup problems, and 'virtumonde' which Norton will continually find and 'remove'.
none of the steps leading up to HJT have solved the problem, and my computer is still acting funny (eg: inappropriate shutdowns, unusual 'gridlock' that requires a restart, and unfamiliar error messages... ) so I am going on to that...

in the meantime, is it safe to view my financial information (over a secure link), or to use paypall? what are the chances that they already have my financial data?

also, what are the limits on the HJT log analysis? how will I know when my computer is 'all the way better' since it seems like the majority of security programs still let stuff through.

thanks,
Greg

Don't do anything with Hijackthis unless you have been told so by a expert as you may do serious damage to your PC. If a expert says the hijackthis log is clean then your PC will be.

If you think you are infected submit a hijackthis log to the HJT Forum.

How to submit a hijackthis log

Download Hijackthis

Try running the following from safe mode (Getting to safe-mode) Sysclean you'll also need the virus template file from here lpt***.zip remember to extract the contents of the zip file into the same folder as Sysclean.com

or

DrWeb CureIT

or

KASFX which is powered by the Kaspersky AV engine, you will need internet access to update it. If you haven't got net access in safe mode, update it before you use it.

If your good with the command line also try Sophos Command Line scanner this command will scan all of your hdd's SAV32CLI.EXE -F -di -remove -dn -mbr -all -zip -p=avscanlog.txt and give you a log file to review afterwards.

Also try installing and running A2 Free and Ewido again run from safe mode.

I'd also run Spybot(Spybot Tutorial) and Adaware

If your using Win2K/XP run adaware/spybot from "safe mode with command prompt" If your using Win9x just run it from safe mode the command line options aren't needed..

At the C:\ prompt type the following:-

cd\
C:\progra~1\spybot~1\spybotsd.exe /autocheck /autofix
cd\
C:\progra~1\lavasoft\ad-awa~1\ad-aware.exe

hi, thanks for all the info... I guess I wasn't very clear, I have posted a HTJ log and am only using as directed. also I did all the previous steps recommended by bleeping computer before HTJ (adaware, spybot, etc.) but that didn't help.


this was my main question:

in the meantime, is it safe to view my financial information (over a secure link), or to use paypall? what are the chances that they already have my financial data?

thanks!
Greg
