Help!! How to stop all the Popups, Adwares and Trojans??!!!

[green tea]

Thanks, I hope you can find a solution. Combofix changed it when it first did the scan, but it didn't change back once the scan was done and the computer rebooted. I think that the whole Norton alert popup/SAS starting automatically really screwed up that Combofix.

Anywho, good night. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow evening.

Help again! For two nights now, the computer has rebooted by itself, and when I login, I keep seeing "your computer has recovered from a serious recovery, etc".

And then I did the send error report to Windows and got this. http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/134/en-us/5.1.2600.2.00010300.2.0?SGD=bff61f81-0c47-4358-a95a-3e8179907d01#here

It seemed to be better before I did the OTMoveIt. Any suggestions?

Problem caused by computer hardware

It is a hardware issue.

OTMoveIt just removed any programs removed that we used so it is unlikely that that is the cause.

Try to get an error number and post in the hardware forum as they have more knowledge there and will give more specific advice.

Ok I will do that. How do I get the error #?

Also, prior to making this thread, I had downloaded and installed Antispyware to scan my pc. I found out that you had to pay if you wanted to use the full service, so I ditched that and installed Superantispyware instead. I uninstalled Antispyware BUT I just caught it running just now

It started scanning, but I'm surprised (maybe a bit worried) that it's running on its own. Can I get rid of it completely??? I double checked my Add/Remove section and it is not on the list.
....

And any luck finding out about how to change the clock back to default?

[evilfantasy]

I will need a Hijackthis log to see what all is running.

No I haven't seen any way to get the clock back yet. Sorry.

Here's the new HJT log

I uninstalled VPN Client since I don't use it anymore, and the error that Ive been mentioning related to it (upon logging in) is gone. And I "shutdown" Antispyware the moment I saw it scanning.

And the computer didn't reboot by itself last night. Gotta say, I'm relieved not seeing "your system has recovered from as serious error".

The only thing I see running as far as antispyware is SuperAntispyware.

What is the full name of the other one. Is it just antispyware?

[green tea]

Yes, it's just "Antispyware". The icon for it has rainbow colors.

I forgot where I downloaded it from, but I was searching around for help, and I saw it in a list of suggested things to use to check for spywares.

So I used it, but it only did the scanning. If you wanted to remove all the stuff it found, you had to pay for it.

[evilfantasy]

Can you post a screenshot of the icon?

[green tea]

This is the best I could do.



And I cannot remember where I had found a link to this program in the first place, nor can I remember the exact website where I d/l the program.

Same icon here:
http://www.antispyware.com/

[green tea]

*smacks head* Yes, I think that's the site.

I was searching for "Antispyware.exe" on yahoo but didn't see anything relevant in the search results.

Now this thing looks official, but how come it didn't uninstall completely?

[evilfantasy]

It is official, but Antispyware. com is on Eric Howes' Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware List. Yes, the whole site is listed, lol. Neither IE of Firefox will let me connect to the site due to my security settings.


Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.

• Extract all the files to your Destop.
• A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.

• Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd

• Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter
  • This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works.
  • When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.
    
  • Please attach that log in your next reply.

• Note: process.exe ( which is used by SmitFraudFIx ) is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

On the other hand, Site Advisor lists it as green.

Good point. Reading the reviews is telling though.

I'm going to go put in my .02 cents now.

EDIT: There I told them lol.
