Difficult to diagnose issues on Vista 64 system

Hi,

There is no one particular issue that is problematic, rather there are several small issues which together might be the symptoms of an infection of some kind. Notably:
I have programmed one of the wheels on my MxRevolution mouse to move the volume up and down, but recently, when I do so, it locks up the Monitor's UI which shows the relative volume coming from the Monitor's speakers -- which should not be controlled by the mouse at all -- rather it should control the volume of my external speakers, which is the default Sound Playback device. Also, although I can hear sounds from the OS and most of my programs, just one, Windows Media Player, refuses to play sound and I can't seem to change anything in the WMP11 Options dialog to get the sound back. (i.e. it is not a question of individual files, because the sound is heard fine when playing back in another media player such as Media Player Classic or Zoom Player). Finally, I have the sytem slightly overclocked and have not been able to get a running installation of the Folding@Home program which uses the GPU processor, although it was working once, but I couldn't find any reason which would have made it stop working.

I am posting the DDS log as well as attaching the Attach.txt file. I tried to run RootRepeal but apparently it is not supported on 64-bit OS's.

Thank you very much for your help, it is very appreciated!!!

--William

We apologize for the delay in responding to your request for help. Here at Bleeping Computer we get overwhelmed at times, and we are trying our best to keep up. Please note that your topic was not intentionally overlooked. Our mission is to help everyone in need, but sometimes it takes just a little longer to get to every request for help. No one is ignored here.

If you have since resolved the original problem you were having, we would appreciate you letting us know. If not please perform the following steps below so we can have a look at the current condition of your machine.

If you have not done so, include a clear description of the problems you're having, along with any steps you may have performed so far.

Upon completing the steps below another staff member will review and take the steps necessary with you to get your machine back in working order clean and free of malware.

If you have already posted a DDS log, please do so again, as your situation may have changed.
Use the 'Add Reply' and add the new log to this thread.


Thanks and again sorry for the delay.

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

• Download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links. 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 explaination 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.

Hi,

Thank you very much for getting back to me. I had figured you might have been extra busy with the launch of Windows 7, or other things. And I do appreciate very much your getting back to me.

I have since put in place a clean install of Windows 7 64 Bit Pro. I don't have any specific problems going on, in fact, I am delighted with the performance & features of this new OS (what a difference between this & when Vista was new, huh?)

I would love to get your assessment at this point of my Antivirus & Malware protection, and see if you have any further recommendations specific to Windows 7.

I have Avast Home 4.8, running all the time. About once a week I run, in this order:
Malwarebytes' Anti Malware 1.41 (Quick Scan)
Spybot S&D 1.6.2 - Check for Problems
Crap Cleaner

I don't think it's necessary for me to run a check with DDS (or whatever other utility is working on W-7) but I sure wouldn't mind taking the time and getting your expertise if it would be worthwhile.

Thanks very much,

Will

Hi

I have Avast Home 4.8, running all the time. About once a week I run, in this order:
Malwarebytes' Anti Malware 1.41 (Quick Scan)
Spybot S&D 1.6.2 - Check for Problems
Crap Cleaner

Looks good to me . Only one note:

Please don't use the registry cleaner of CCleaner or any other registry cleaner unless you know what you are doing. It can damage your system very fast.



Below I have outlined a series of categories that outline how you can increase the security of your computer so that you will not be infected.


Practice Safe Internet

One of the main reasons people get infected in the first place is that they are not practicing Safe Internet. You practice Safe Internet when you educate yourself on how to properly use the Internet through the use of security tools and good practice. Knowing how you can get infected and what types of files and sites to avoid will be the most crucial step in keeping your computer malware free. The reality is that the majority of people who are infected with malware are ones who click on things they shouldn't be clicking on. Whether these things are files or sites it doesn't really matter. If something is out to get you, and you click on it, it most likely will. Below are a list of simple precautions to take to keep your computer clean and running securely:

• If you receive an attachment from someone you do not know, DO NOT OPEN IT! Simple as that. Opening attachments from people you do not know is a very common method for viruses or worms to infect your computer.
  
  
• If you receive an attachment and it ends with a .exe, .com, .bat, or .pif do not open the attachment unless you know for a fact that it is clean. For the casual computer user, you will almost never receive a valid attachment of this type.
  
  
• If you receive an attachment from someone you know, and it looks suspicious, then it probably is. The email could be from someone you know infected with a malware that is trying to infect everyone in their address book.
  
  
• If you are browsing the Internet and a popup appears saying that you are infected, ignore it!. These are, as far as I am concerned, scams that are being used to scare you into purchasing a piece of software. For an example of these types of popups, or Foistware, you should read this article: Foistware, And how to avoid it.
  
  There are also programs that disguise themselves as Anti-Spyware or security products but are instead scams. For a list of these types of programs we recommend you visit this link: Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products & Web Sites
  
  
• Another tactic to fool you on the web is when a site displays a popup that looks like a normal Windows message or alert. When you click on them, though, they instead bring you to another site that is trying to push a product on you. We suggest that you close these windows by clicking on the X instead of the OK button. Alternatively, you can check to see if it's a real alert by right-clicking on the window. If there is a menu that comes up saying Add to Favorites... you know it's a fake.
  
  
• Do not go to adult sites. I know this may bother some of you, but the fact is that a large amount of malware is pushed through these types of sites. I am not saying all adult sites do this, but a lot do.
  
  
• When using an Instant Messaging program be cautious about clicking on links people send to you. It is not uncommon for infections to send a message to everyone in the infected person's contact list that contains a link to an infection. Instead when you receive a message that contains a link, message back to the person asking if it is legit before you click on it.
  
  
• Stay away from Warez and Crack sites! In addition to the obvious copyright issues, the downloads from these sites are typically overrun with infections.
  
  
• Be careful of what you download off of web sites and Peer-2-Peer networks. Some sites disguise malware as legitimate software to trick you into installing them and Peer-2-Peer networks are crawling with it. If you want to download a piece of software a from a site, and are not sure if they are legitimate, you can use McAfee Siteadvisor to look up info on the site.
  
  
• DO NOT INSTALL any software without first reading the End User License Agreement, otherwise known as the EULA. A tactic that some developers use is to offer their software for free, but have spyware and other programs you do not want bundled with it. This is where they make their money. By reading the agreement there is a good chance you can spot this and not install the software.

Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently

It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

Update your AntiVirus Software

It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out. If you use a commercial antivirus program you must make sure you keep renewing your subscription. Otherwise, once your subscription runs out, you may not be able to update the programs virus definitions.


Make sure your applications have all of their updates

It is also possible for other programs on your computer to have security vulnerability that can allow malware to infect you. Therefore, it is also a good idea to check for the latest versions of commonly installed applications that are regularly patched to fix vulnerabilities. You can check these by visiting Secunia Software Inspector and Calendar of Updates.


Use a Firewall

I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
