Really strange problem

8 min read

This thread's last reply is from January 17, 2009, 5:40 AM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Hi everybody, this is my first post on this forum which I have reached from the HijackThis program downloaded from TrenMicro.

The reason for downloading and scanning my computer which HijackThis is that eventually I have some strange problems with my PC. I have Panda 2008 installed, licensed and updated and I passed some spyaware/malware detection programs such as Adaware or TuneUp Utilities, and they say everything is OK.

But the fact is that I still have the following problems:

- Sometimes, unexpectly the cumputer turns off with no previous advice, the same way as if it has been suddenly disconnected the power cable. This could happen any time indepently wath I´m doing with my PC, but usually with Internet Explorer Opened. Moreover, it also happens everytime I run the spybot software to detect and correct malware/spyware problems, when it takes some time running, suddenly the computer turns off.

- The second problem is even more strange than the first one. I have some personal certificates installed on my Internet Explorer, and then suddenly one day the disappeared from the configuration. I reinstalled then but with the option to get an advice when the certificate will be used and I realized that, without entering on a site that requires certificate autorization, the pop-up window requesting the autorization to use the certificate, appeared. And If I allow to use, it disappears from the configuration. Morever, the pop-up windows sometimes appeared without Internet Explorer opened. I also installed the certificates on my Firefox and with this navigator I have no problem ¿?¿?

Here I post the HijackThis Log to see if there is someting strange I should "kill" from my PC.

Thanks in advance for your help
Hello and welcome to the forums!

I'm Odd dude, pleased to meet you; if it helps, you can call me OD ;). I am very sorry for the delay in responding, but as you can see we are at the moment being flooded with logs which, when paired with the never-ending shortage of helpers, resulted in the delayed responding to your thread.
If you have already recieved help elsewhere please inform me so that this topic can be closed. If you have not, please adhere to the guidelines below and then follow instructions as outlined further below:

  • Logs from malware removal programs (Hijackthis is one of them) can take some time to analyze. I need you to be patient whilst I analyze any logs you post.
  • Please carefully read any instruction that I give you.
    Reading too lightly will cause you to miss important steps, which could have destructive effects.
  • If you're not sure, or if something unexpected happens, do NOT continue! Stop and ask!
  • Only YOU must use these instructions, they are not suitable for any other computer, similar issues or not.
  • Do not do things I do not ask for, such as running a spyware scan. The one thing you should always do, though, is making sure that your antivirus definitions are up-to-date!
  • If I tell you to download a tool which you already have, please re-download it and do not use the copy you already have. This is because the tools are updated regularly.
  • In Windows Vista, all tools need to be started by right clicking and selecting Run as administrator!
  • I am going to stick with you until ALL malware is gone from your system. I would appreciate it if you were to do the same. From this point, we're in this together ;)
    Because of this, you must reply within five days
    . I will post a reminder should you seem to fail to do this, however, if you fail to reply within five days then, unless I have been notified of your absence in advance, the topic shall be closed!
  • As I am still in training at the Malware Removal University, anything I do must be checked by an experienced malware fighter. This means there might be a slight delay in my answers.
  • Lastly, I am no magican. I will try very hard to fix your issues, but no promises can be made. Also be aware that some infections are so severe that you might need to resort to reformatting and reinstalling your operating system. Don't worry, this only happens in severe cases, but it sadly does happen. Be prepared to back up your data. Have means of backing up your data available.


I am now analyzing your situation and hope to be back with you soon. While I am reviewing your situation, could you please do the following for me:

Make an Uninstall List
I need you to create an uninstall list so I can further analyze your situation.

  • Start HijackThis.
  • Click Open the Misc Tools section
  • Click Open Uninstall Manager
  • Click Save list...
  • Save the list to your desktop, or any other convenient place.


Please post back:
  • Uninstall list
  • New hijackthis log
