BleepingComputer.com: ZoneAlarm disabled for 45 days, noticed lag, ran Rkill, MBAM, Combofix. Check log please?

Windows XP user here.

The fact that ZA tray icon stopped responding last night was a red flag for me so I went to safe mode-networking and ran MBAM, then Combofix.

Rkill found userinit.exe

MBAM found "Dont.steal.our.software" in an old, never-used Sorenson Squeeze directory.

Combofix spat out the logs pasted below.

What really freaked me out is after I changed my major passwords, I try to get on my email today and the new password doesn't work. I had to reset it by phone. Now it is possible I mistyped my new password, but you never know.

Email IP logs show normal activity.

Also, security log shows:

Failure Audit, Event ID 615, IPSEC services failed to get a complete list of network interfaces...

System event viewer log shows a lot of "DHCP Event ID 1000... lost its lease to the IP address" etc etc.

Please check my Combofix log? I am feeling especially paranoid right now.

We need to see some information about what is happening in your machine. Please perform the following scan again:

• Download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links if you no longer have it available. Save it to your desktop.
  • DDS.scr
    
  • DDS.pif
  
  
• Double click on the DDS icon, allow it to run.
  
• A small box will open, with an explanation about the tool. No input is needed, the scan is running.
  
• Notepad will open with the results.
  
• Follow the instructions that pop up for posting the results.
  
• Close the program window, and delete the program from your desktop.

Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet.

We also need a new log from the GMER anti-rootkit Scanner.

Please note that if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows you will not be able to run GMER and you may skip this step.

Please first disable any CD emulation programs using the steps found in this topic:


Then create another GMER log and post it as an attachment to the reply where you post your new DDS log. Instructions on how to properly create a GMER log can be found here:



As I am just a silly little program running on the BleepingComputer.com servers, please do not send me private messages as I do not know how to read and reply to them! Thanks!
