Constant activity on LAN icon in system tray.

I noticed my problem this morning, and have looked around the net to try and solve it as I have in the past, but I can't seem to fix it this time. I will include a HiJackThis log with this posting and hopefully someone will see something that doesn't belong.

I did update my BitComet program last night, but have been running the older version for years with no problems. I have an HP Laptop running win xp SP3 Home Media Center edition. I really hope someone can get to the bottom of this... also running a ad-aware check right now.

Here is teh Hijackthis log... if its helpful.

The problem seemed to have resolved itself, but if you see anything else wrong... please let me know... I'll be running the scans requested in the pre-post guidelines soon and posting the results.

Moved from XP to Malware Removal Logs ~ Hamluis.

Hello and welcome to Bleeping Computer

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.

Information on A/V control HERE

We also need a new log from the GMER anti-rootkit scanner. Please first disable any CD emulation programs using the steps found in this topic:

Why we request you disable CD Emulation when receiving Malware Removal Advice

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:

How to create a GMER log

It has since resolved... but I do have another problem taht I have not been able to get any help with but its on another computer that does not have internet access, probably because of suspected malware/virus. Is running Xp Pro Sp2 but looks like win 95/98 style and cannot get it back to regular, also it did have the search redirect problem that progressed into what I had mentioned earlier... would it be possible to run the appropriate scans after dl-ing to a flash drive or the like and then transferring the info from that comuter onto this one and into these forums... or would that risk infecting the system I am on now?

Hi,

I will get someone to come close this topic then, thanks for letting us know.

With regards to your other computer, I would suggest the transfer route. Try the following:

• Find an empty USB memory stick
• Copy the DDS, GMER and DeFogger installers to your memory stick
• Transfer the installers to your infected PC, via your memory stick
• Follow the instructions as laid out in this topic on your infected PC.
• Save the output logs to your memory stick
• Run Flash Deinfector
  • Please download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
  • The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
  • Hold down the Shift key when inserting the drive until Windows detects it to keep autorun.inf from executing if it is present.
  • Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
  • Reboot your computer when done.
    Note: As part of its routine, Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive that was plugged in when you ran it. Do not delete this folder...it will help protect your drives from future infection by keeping the autorun file from being installed on the root drive and running other malicious files.
• Finally, copy the logs to your clean PC and post them in a new topic in this forum.

Casey

Thanks I will do that and hopefully you can help me... time is not an issue as I just want to get it clean enough to pull off music/photos/some saved game files prior to a win 7 ultimate clean upgrade. Thanks.

Since this topic appears to be resolved, I will now close it.
If you need this topic re-opened please send me a PM.

Everyone else, please start a new topic.
