Another cry for help, I got the trojans while downloading songs with limewire... If it's the only problem - I don't know...
Thanks in advance, Kim

Scan process completed.
You are running a P2P filesharing programme.
  • Many of these programmes come with unwanted components bundled with them.
  • If you wish to find out whether the one you're using does click here.

Please note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P programme, it is only the programme that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.


Remember that no matter how clean the program you're using for Peer-to-Peer filesharing may be, it offers no guarantees regarding the cleanliness of files you may choose to download. All files available via Peer-to-Peer filesharing carry a high risk, particularly those that offer you illegitimate methods of using legitimate software programs without paying for them. Any program or file that offers you the ability to access non-freeware programs at no cost, e.g., pirated software and/or cracks/key generators for gaining access to legitimate software, is 100% guaranteed to contain malware.

Here is some information that looks at the rates of infection:

http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/p2p/

My recommendation is you uninstall all P2P programs

Go to Start> Control Panel> Add or Remove Programs.

Remove the following program, if it is present.

    Netcom3 Cleaner < read about it here


  • Open a new notepad window (Start>All Programs>Accessories>Notepad)
  • Copy & paste the contents of the following codebox into the notepad window
    sc stop Netcom3
    sc delete Netcom3
  • Click File > Save as
  • In the box labelled File name copy and paste cleanup.bat
  • Change Save as type to All Files
  • Save it to your desktop
  • Close the notepad window
  • Double click on cleanup.bat
  • A DOS window will come up briefly and then disappear, this is normal


Run HijackThis
Click on do a system scan only
Place a checkmark next to this line(if still present)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SpyClean] C:\Program Files\Netcom3 Cleaner\SpyClean.exe

Then close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix Checked

Restart

Use windows explorer to find and delete these files:

I:\SHARED 22\meditative 2006.mp3
I:\Shared\mavra mesanixta.mp3
I:\Shared\na me pali edo zontanos trypes.mp3

And this folder:

C:\Program Files\Netcom3 Cleaner

As an example:
To delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\filetogo.bye
Double click the My Computer icon on your Desktop.
Double click on Local Disc (C:\)
Double click on the Windows folder,
Double click on the System 32 folder,
Right click on filetogo.bye and from the menu that appears, click on 'Delete'


Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt


Post back with the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware log, a new HijackThis log and a description of any remaining problems.
