sn12.mailshell.net has to do with AVG antivirus (I think), why it is suddenly popping up I am not sure. maybe check the settings in AVG. Or even check for updates.

Go to C:\Program Files\CA\eTrust EZ Armor\eTrust EZ Antivirus\CAVRID.exe <--Delete the whole CA folder.

Also download and use the Norton removal Tool

One more HijackThis log please.

That folder was automatically removed when I uninstalled the eTrust EZ Antivirus software two days ago. But just to be sure, I did a file search, and nothing came back.

I ran the Norton Removal Tool as requested.

Here is the hjt log after norton.

thx.

The logs are clean.

Run CCleaner.

Go to Start > Run and copy and paste next command in the field:

ComboFix /u



Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /
Then hit Enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again


I will look around for some info. on the sn12.mailshell.net pop up and see what I can find.

that is such a kewl little program (combofix)

I will search around as well and see what i can find. So far, all i've found is a bunch of jargon, but that's what i get for googling.  I wish I knew more places to look. What do you when you want to find something? Besides checking the popular search engines....

[evilfantasy]

Google is the best tool there is.

I visit a lot of security related forums so sometimes it is things I have either seen before or read about.

Just be careful with combofix, it is an advanced tool and should be used with caution for good reason.
