Post by: Zain on August 30, 2008, 04:25:21 PM
Hey everyone

I recently had a XP Antivirus 2008 attack, and ever since , some things on my computer have not been working the same.

I followed the instructions from your other page, and these are the logs :

I ran the HiJack this scan right after the SuperAntiSpyware scan, and after restarting my computer following the deleting of the infections found in the scan.

I was not able to get the SuperAntiSpyware log, but there were 8  "AdWare" infections, which were all removed succesfully. Im not sure if you need this as well, but please inform me if this information is required. There were 8 Adware infections, which were all deleted using the "remove" button.

Oh, and i also scanned my USB, the logs should include some of my E:\ .

Thanks for your help , and If there is anything that i am missing or need to do, please message me.

Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one
Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.
You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

Windows XP System Restore Guide (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html) or Windows Vista System Restore Guide  (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial143.html)
.
----------

Use the  Secunia Software Inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector) to check for out of date software.
.
----------

Important: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer regularly to protect your computer from the malware and other security threats that are on the Internet. Go to Microsoft Windows Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and get all critical updates.
