Hi Bluetrain7

IMPORTANT I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Peer to Peer) File Sharing Programs on your computer.

Azureus
DC++
eMule

I'd like you to read the MRU policy for P2P Programs.

Please go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the programs listed above (in red).NOW

Make an uninstall list using HijackThis

To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:

1. Start HijackThis
2. Click on the Config button
3. Click on the Misc Tools button
4. Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.

You will now be presented with a screen similar to the one below:



5. Click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad here on your next reply

Thanks peku006

Thanks for sticking with me.

Also, I successfully reformatted and reinstalled Windows on my desktop PC. While it was infected I had connected my ipod to it. Before I connect the ipod to the newly cleaned computer I have a question. Could the virus have spread to the ipod? I know that mac systems don't get viruses as easily but I have heard that they can act as a host.

Hi Bluetrain7
Could the virus have spread to the ipod?

no it is not possible

Using Windows Explorer (to get there right-click your Start button and go to "Explore"), please delete this file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mac80ex.idf

Please empty both your Norton AntiVirus Quarantine and PestPatrol Quarantine

Your HijackThis log, is messed up. This is caused by having Word Wrap checked.
So before posting a new Hijackthis Log:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
2. On the menu bar in Notepad select Format and click on WordWrap so it appears un-checked.

Please post a new HijackThis log.

Thanks peku006

I deleted the mac80ex.idf file. I also emptied the PestPatrol quarantine and uninstalled Norton Anti-Virus because I don't use it anymore (the quarantine folder for Norton has been deleted also).

Sorry about the last HijackThis log. Here is a new one:

Hi Bluetrain7

it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

As the term conveys, a firewall is an extra layer of security installed onto computers, which restricts access to systems from the outside world. Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. I want you to download a free firewall NOW from one of these excellent vendors:

1) Comodo (Uncheck during installation "Install COMODO Antivirus (Recommended)"!, "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage")
2) Online Armor
3) PC Tools
4) Sunbelt/Kerio
5) ZoneAlarm (uncheck ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker during installation if you choose this one)

If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.

1 - Remove bad HijackThis entries
  • Run HijackThis
  • Click on the Scan button
  • Put a check beside all of the items listed below (if present):

Thank you for the suggestions. I installed Online Armor for my firewall.

I removed the bad HijackThis entries. Then I ran OTMoveIt and here is the log:

Hi Bluetrain7
thanks for congratulating..... :)

the scans are fine and it looks like your machine is clean

To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created do the following:

  • Double-click OTMoveIt3.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
