Do I have something malicious going on here?

I'm running Vista on my PC and things are very delayed. My roommate was being suspicious around my computer and I'm wondering if she got picked up something or put something on it. I'd appreciate any help you could give, even if it is just to tell me the problem must be this awful Vista.

Hello! and welcome to the Malware Removal forums.
I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems. HijackThis logs can take a while to research so please be patient while I work on your log and I will post back here with any recommendations.
As I am still training, everything that I post to you, must be checked by an Admin or Moderator. Thus, there may be a tiny bit of a delay between posts. While it shouldn't be too long, you can be assured you will get the best possible advice.

• I will working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
• The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
• Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
• It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
• If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
• Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

Hi Curious,

Your log looks clean but we'll have a deeper look.


Step 1:
Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components.

• Close any programs you may have running, ESPECIALLY your web browser
• Click Start > Control Panel > double-click on Programs and Features
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment, JRE, J2SE, or Java Webstart in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove all installed versions of Java.
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.

Then download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment(JRE) and install it to your computer.



Step 2:
Please download ATF cleaner
Make sure that all browser windows are closed.

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Deselect Cookies
Click the Empty Selected button.
You can select cookies but you will have to re enter your login details to websites you frequent.

If you use Firefox browser

Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Deselect Firefox Cookies
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser

Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Deselect Opera Cookies
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.


Step 3:
Run Internet Explorer by right clicking on it and clicking Run as Administrator
Go to http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/default/kavwebscan.html and click the Accept button at the end of the page.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.

• Read the Requirements and limitations before you click Accept.
• Allow the ActiveX download if necessary.
• Once the database has downloaded, click Next.
• Click Scan Settings and change the "Scan using the following antivirus database" from standard to extended and then click OK.
• Click on "My Computer" and then put the kettle on!
• When the scan has completed, click Save Report As...
• Enter a name for the file in the Filename: text box and then click the down arrow to the right of Save as type: and select text file (*.txt)
• Click Save - by default the file will be saved to your Desktop, but you can change this if you wish.

Copy and paste the report into your next reply along with a fresh HJT log and a description of how your PC is behaving.

OK. I'll work on this tonight and tomorrow and report back. Thank you for the help!

Hi Curious, do you still need any help?
