I have run NoAdware spyware software for about 5 years along with AVG Internet Security full version for 2 years, and previously with Norton Internet Security. NoAdware has been very effective at finding spyware that AVG and Norton paid no attention to.
 New situation = I just upgraded my AVG v7.5 to v8.0 and had some problems with slow surf speed and getting the firewall configured to work with my wireless router but after a re-install and a few hours of headaches the AVG 8.0 is working fine.
 My current problem is that after the AVG 8.0 upgrade, NoAdware v5.0 finds a directory file named "AntiVirusGold" in 'C/Program Files/AVG' and gives an option to remove this file from my computer. The NoAdware item description =
"Purports to be anti-spyware software, but has been known to be installed through extremely devious methods.".
 So what do I do; Allow NoAdware to remove the file, which will likely affect operation of AVG Internet Security, or add this "AntiVirusGold" file to the NoAdware ignore list? Or what other options do I have?

AntiVirusGold is a rouge program and isn't part of AVG.

  Thanks  evilfantasy !!!
So I removed AntiVirusGold from the NoAdware 'ignore list', scanned again, and allowed this file to be removed.
 I guess NoAdware continues to be worth the $37 per year.  It found this file during a scan of 192,168 files on 2 hard drives in less than 4 minutes. The $52.95 per year AVG took over 2 hours to scan 288,277 files on those same drives and did not find the AntiVirusGold file.  What am I missing here?

I'm not very familiar with Noadware but it sounds like it is doing a good job.

It wouldn't hurt to post a Hijackthis log so we can see if there isn't anything else hiding.

Download and rename HijackThis (HJT)
  • Double-click on HJTInstall.
  • Click on the Install button.
  • It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
  • Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
    • Close HijackThis and rename it.
    • Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.exe
    • Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename.
    • Type in sniper.exe and press Enter.
    • Right-click on sniper.exe and select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)
  • From the desktop open Hijackthis.
  • If using Windows Vista, Right-click and Run As Administrator.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
  • Hijackthis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
  • Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
    • Do not have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
Although we have renamed Hijackthis to sniper, we will still refer to it as Hijackthis or HJT.

Done. Sorry it took so long, I had to get the grass cut before it rains.
 I clicked on the remove file from my computer button in NoAdware, but the 'AntiVirusGold' file showed up again after I restarted my computer and scanned again. I turned off system restore for all 3 drives {2 partitions on internal HD and 1 USB external drive}, clicked on remove file again in NoAdware then restarted again. The AntiVirusGold is still there after another scan with NoAdware.
This board will not let me post the HJT log file here. It says it exceeds the maximum character limit of 20000 characters. How should I post the log file results?

Save the Hijackthis log to your desktop then go here > http://savefile.com/

There is no need to sign up, just upload the file and then post the link to it back here.

It won't let me upload my file due to invalid security code'. I typed the code correctly?

OK, take the log and copy and paste it into two different threads.

    ===============
    Sorry it took so long. The scan took almost an hour and dinner with the family was ready just before the scan finished.
    As you can see, MBAM found nothing.
     Then I scaned with NoAdware again and found the AntiVirusGold is still there along with 16 not-critical cookies.
    What now?

    Where did you download AVG from?

    This scan will only take a few minutes.

    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
        • This is 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.

    That didn't find it.

    More thorough scan....

    Please download Combofix by sUBs from one of the below links.
    (Try all three if necessary)Important! Combofix.exe MUST be saved to and ran from the Desktop.
    • Close any open Web browsers. (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting Combofix.
    • Important! Temporarily disable your antivirus, script blocking and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan.
      • Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.
      • If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
    • Warning: Combofix disconnects your computer from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before Combofix completes its run.
    • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
      • Choose Yes to accept the Disclaimers.[
      • When finished, it will produce a log for you.
      • Post that log in your next reply.
      Warning: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall
      • If Combofix runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your computer.
      • Important: Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware before reconnecting to the Internet.
      If needed, see this Combofix tutorial with screenshots that will detail the downloading and running of combofix more thoroughly. Still be sure to rename combofix as detailed above.

      I have Combofix.exe and Windows XP boot disk downloaded to my desktop and ready to run but:
      The instructions given in the link to disable AVG don't work for AVG8. It works for AVG 7.5, I've done that before. I cannot find a way to disable antivirus, antispyware or anti rootkit. All others I have disabled {firewall, e-mail scanner, resident sheild, anti spam, search sheild, active surf sheild ect.}
      The AVG website is not much help.

      Disable the FireFox / AVG addon and see if this helps...
      Restart FireFox after doing so.

       I disabled the AVG add-ons but still don't see where to disable the anti virus, spyware, rootkit.
      I can terminate processes from the AVG system tools menu, but I'm not sure which process I need to terminate. I tried this route once but the 2nd process I terminated, ended the AVG control panel I was using although it returned after reboot.
       I don't know if terminating processes is even an optional way to disable the program, but since I can't find this control anywhere including advanced settings, will it work for what I'm trying to do?
      My terminate process options are:
      avgam.exe
      avgemc.exe

      Just try running Combofix. AVG may not block it from running. If it does block it then we will run it a different way.

      Combofix uses scripts that some AV's see as malicious.

      Sorry for jumpin in EF.
      I just finished reading AVG 8.0 installs an addon to Firefox and thought it may be the hangup.

      OK. Sorry for the delay. Another night at work. When I got home this morning I scanned with NoAdware again. Only 1 threat, AntiVirusGold. I then disabled NoAdware and what parts of AVG that I could, then I ran combofix per instructions I printed from the bleeping computer website.
      After it ran I saved the combofix logfile and I will try to post it in another reply, or 2 separate replies {it is large}..
      Immediately after running combofix, with no re-boot, I enabled NoAdware and scanned in quickscan mode. It found 5 threats as listed below. I did not allow NoAdware to remove any of the threats yet.
      ---------------------------------
      Noadware v5.0 --------------------------

      Reference File = C:\Program Files\NoAdware5.0\noadware4_041808.na

      ---------------------------



      Spyware Name = Kazaa

      Location = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\kazaa

      Type = RegKey

      Spyware Name = Kazaa

      Location = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kazaa\LocalContent

      Type = RegKey

      Spyware Name = Backdoor.Bifrose

      Location = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wget

      Type = RegKey

      Spyware Name = Trojan.PWS.Tanspy

      Location = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\load

      Type = RegKey

      Spyware Name = AntiVirusGold

      Location = C:\Program Files\AVG

      Type = Directory



      ---------------------------------
       Next I started a scan with AVG.  I'll probably post this reply before it finishes it's scan due to time but so far it has scanned 474xxx objects and found 8 suspect files but list 0 as threats thus far. I'll post that log when it finishes.

      Did Noadware just start reporting this infection when you installed AVG8?

      Could this be a false positive?

      Use the Kaspersky Online Scanner
      • Click Accept.
      • Answer Yes, when prompted to install an ActiveX component.
      • The program will then begin downloading the latest definition files.
      • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
      • Locate the Scan Settings button & configure to:
        • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:

            • Extended[/COLOR]
            • Scan Options:

                • Scan Archives[/COLOR]
                  • Scan Mail Bases[/COLOR]
                • Click OK & have it scan My Computer
                When the scan is done, in the Scan is complete window (below), any infection is displayed.
                There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report.

                To obtain the report:
                Click on: Save Report As...



                • Next, in the Save as prompt, Save in area, select: Desktop.
                • In the File name area, use KScan, or something similar.
                • In Save as type: click the drop arrow and select: Text file [*.txt]
                • Then, click: Save


                Please copy and paste the Kaspersky Online Scanner Report in your next post.

          Did Noadware just start reporting this infection when you installed AVG8?
          Yes, I believe so. My NoAdware autoscans every morning {provided my computer is on, which it usually is}, at 6am while I'm at work, the last scan log for 4-17-2008 completed at 6:05am without the AntiVirusGold in it is here:

          Could this be a false positive?

          I guess so, although you make that call. I didn't know there was such a thing as a false positive.

          Should I do anything about the files found after the combofix ran or continue to the "Kaspersky Online Scanner" now?

          We will clean up the tools we have used when we are done.

          Go ahead with the kaspersky scan. It won't remove anything but the log will be very helpful.

          The log is clean. I am pretty sure that it was a false positive being given by Noadware.

          Let's clear out the programs we've been using to clean up your computer, they are not suitable for
          general malware removal and could cause damage if launched accidentally. These steps will also help secure the work you have done.
          .
          • Click START then RUN
          • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
          • Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
          • Then hit Enter.
          .
          .
          The above procedure will:
          • Delete:
            • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
            • VundoFix backups, if present
            • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
            • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
            • Reset the clock settings.
            • Hide file extensions, if required.
            • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
            • Set a new, clean Restore Point.
            .
            Download OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer OTMoveIt2.exe and place it on your desktop. (unless you already have it installed)

            1. Double click OTMoveIt2.exe to launch it.
            Vista users right click and choose Run As Administrator
            2. Click on the CleanUp! button.
            3. OTMoveIt2 will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programs alerts you, allow it access.
            4. Click YES at the next prompt (list downloaded, Do you want to begin cleanup process?)
            5. Once complete exit out of OTMoveIt2

            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.
            • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
            • Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
            • The new restore point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
            • Next go to Start > Run and type Cleanmgr
            • Click OK
            • Click the More Options Tab.
            • Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.
            .
            Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
            • Click Start Now
            • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
            • Click Start
            • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
            • Update anything listed.
            .

            Let me know how things are now.

            I clicked the 'OK' in that box and tried clicking the CleanUp button again and got the same message.
            What did I miss?

            OK, open this attachment and copy then paste the entire list into the window under the yellow bar in OTMoveIt2. Then click the CleanUp button.

            Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

            Click Start Now

            Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.

            Click Start

            Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
            Update anything listed.

            When I clicked the start button in Secunia Software Inspector, it showed a message saying I needed Sun Java from www.java.com for Secunia Software Inspector to run correctly. so I went to java.com and downloaded the latest java file and verified that I have the latest version, but it looks like Secunia still has a problem with a java applet issue. Below is the current status:

            You may need to restart the computer if you just downloaded the Java.

            Yes thats it. Are you using Firefox or IE? It will work better in IE, but I just used it earlier today in Firefox so I am not sure what is going on. Try turning off your firewall and see if it works.

            I'm running IE7. I tried with my AVG firewall disabled and windows firewall is off as normal. Also in control panel > internet options > security, the value for "sripting of java applets" is 'enable'.

            See if you can download and run the SECUNIA PSI Personal Edition - free also.

            that worked fine. It shows I have 3 insecure programs and 83 patched:
            The 3 insecure are:

            Adobe flash player  9.x {active x control}
            Safari for windows 3.x
            Sun java JRE 1.5x / 5x

            I don't see how to copy paste or post a log with this?

            Use the Adobe Online Uninstaller to fully uninstall all old versions of flash player.

            Then install the New Version

            ----------

            Go to add/remove programs and uninstall any old version of Java, leaving only the newest one 1.6.0.6

            ----------

            Update Safari - Not sure how since I don't use it.

            OK. I ran the 'Download Solution for all 3 insecure programs and re-scanned with Secunia PSI.
            This scan only shows 1 insecure program; Sun Java JRE 1.5x / 5.x
            I'll try uninstalling it and downloading again.

            Hmm, try this.

            Download JavaRa.zip

            • Unzip the file and open the JavaRa.exe
            • Click Remove Older Versions
            • JavaRa will search for and remove any outdated version of Java and remove any that are found.
            • Exit JavaRa.

            Actually both of those are old lol.

            New version can be downloaded and installed HERE

            Then go to add/remove programs and uninstall all but the 1.6.0.6 that was just installed. Then go to program files and check for any old folders and delete them. All except for the 1.6.0.6 that was just installed.

            Sorry, forgot that it just updated again last week.

            Done.

            'java  6 update 6' is the only java showing in add / remeve programs

            In Program Files it added jre1.6.0_06, and let me delete jre1.6.0_05, but it still won't let me delete jre1.5.0_12

            Is the jre1.5.0_12 folder in Program Files, or is it just the entry in add/remove programs that is there?

            Download Unlocker 1.8.6 (scroll down the page a little)

            Use Unlocker to try and delete the file. You will just right click it and choose Unlocker, then select delete.

            If that doesn't work then try to delete it in safe mode.

            Unlocker 1.8.6 won't delete it. It ask if I wanted it to perform the delete operation at next start-up and I clicked yes. Should I re-start now to try?

            See if it is gone after restarting. If not then restart in safe mode and try to delete it.

            Starting your computer in safe mode
            • If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
            • Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
            • Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
            • Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
            • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
            • Login on your usual account.

            It's gone. Yeah!!!

            I'm going to have to leave for work in a few minutes. I'm sure your getting tired anyway. I have an appointment after work in the morning but will log back on afterward. When you get time, I'll need to get instructions on deleting the files in the latest NoAdware scan shown below.

            Try running Spybot and see if it gets rid of them. I am sort of wondering about Noadware now that I am positive it is seeing AVG as antivirusgold when it is clearly not that.

            Good morning evilfantasy.
            I'm currently on another computer because mine has become so slow it took over 6 minutes to load this forum page after I clicked on the link in 'My Favorites'.
            I tried installing spybot but it's so slow that I got an error box before the file could download. The box says:
            "File Download
            Error sending request the operation timed out".
             My internet speed has been getting progressively slower during the time we have been trying to delete this AntiVirusGold file. Should I try removing some of those programs we have been using that are still on my desktop? There are a couple that run when I start my computer like Secunia and Unlocker assistant. Several icons on my desktop include
            OTMoveIt2
            Smithfraud
            mbam
            sniper.exe
            hjt
            kscan
            unlocker1.8.6

            Also, my AVG8 does not show any threats in the scan it did overnight, but it does ask if I want to remove 135 potentially dangerous files. Should I let it delete those files yet?

            You can uninstall or delete
            OTMoveIt2
            Smithfraud
            sniper.exe
            hjt
            kscan
            unlocker1.8.6

            I would keep MBAM as it doesn't run unless you want it to and is great for an occasional scan.

            Try working through some of the steps HERE including Disk cleanup, disk defrag and Manage autostart items. See if that improves performance.

            Okay, I got most everything deleted and uninstalled and she's back running real well. Thanks so much for all your help!!!
             I'll go through the list of maintenance items listed in your link later this evening. We've had 2 other mechanics call in sick where I work the last 2 nights and I've been working my *censored* off keeping all the extra machinery running by myself.  And without much sleep the last few days, I won't be able to stay awake any longer enough to get all the maintenance steps done, not right anyway lol.
             Wow, we've spent a lot of time working on this AntiVirusGold thing which looks like nothing to worry about anyway. It has been a real good learning experience for me.
             Thank again!
            BTW, is there a link to contribute a donation to this board? It's been very helpfull to me a few times and since it doesn't have a bunch of advertisements bothering everything, I figure I should help out with the operations.  :)
            later,
            Mike

            Glad everything is getting back to normal :) Sometimes the simple ones turn into real beasts when the layers begin to get un-peeled!

            We don't accept donations and I did ask this question once to the owner Nathan. Here is his response.

            Please refer users who're wanting to donate to the below link:

            http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000586.htm

            Although I've accepted donations in the past I originally created Computer Hope to help users and not make millions. The money I make from Google is enough to support me and Computer Hope and keep the site free without the need of donations.

            Let me know if there is anything else. I am sort of wondering about Noadware now. I don't think it is bad, but they shouldn't be flagging AVG as malicious. Spybot should get anything that is left over though.

            Cheers.

            My computer was running fine at the time I last posted, but over the last few days has become really slow again. Web surfing speed is intermittant. One minute it loads the page very quickly, then on the next click it times out and give me a message below:
             Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
               
               Most likely causes:
            You are not connected to the Internet.
            The website is encountering problems.
            There might be a typing error in the address.

            -------------------
            My wireless connection is "Very Good / 54 Mbps
            There are 2 other computers in the house on this DSL connection, {1 wired / 1 wireless} They have normal consistant browsing speed.
            Since I installed various new hardware devices back around early March, {250 Gb internal drive, 320 Gb external drive, 1Gb x 2 SDRAM, NVidia graphics card, CD-RW drive, DVD-RW drive, ect.}, my browsing speed has been fast and consistant. It wasn't until I found this AntiVirusGold ect. that I started having slow performance problems. I'm not saying the AntiVirusGold is the culprit, nor any other virus / spyware ect., but possibly something I did during the process of investigating this.

             Since I last posted I have
             preformed maintenance task listed in your guide,
             purchased the MBAM software paid version,
             re-installed Spybot,
             un-installed AVG8 then re-installed AVG 7.5 with no improvement, then un-installed AVG 7.5 / installed AVG8, {AVG had broken / partial fonts in the scan log results. After re-installing AVG8 this is still happening.} I don't see how to 'copy paste'  or 'save as' a scan log for AVG?
             un-installed NoAdware,
             installed Windows Defender,
             
             
             
              I've noticed on my computer is: the image I'm suppose to see on the Java test page does not show up as it is suppose to, but on the 'verify installation page it says,
            Verified Java Version

            "Congratulations!
             
            You have the recommended Java installed (1.6.0_06)."
            -----------------------
            ALSO,
            Somewhere along the way while investigating that AntiVirusGold I came up with an Ebay icon on my desktop. I did not click on it because I was suspicious and When I scanned with MBAM scan on 4-22-08 it found:
            "Files Infected:
            C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Desktopicon\eBayShortcuts.exe (Trojan.Agent)"
            But even after MBAM was supposed to have removed this Ebay threat, I still had an Ebay shortcut in my quick launch taskbar. I right clicked on it and tried to delete it, but it did not give me a drop-down menu with delete option. Then I dragged it to my desktop and tried to delete it there with the same result. It is still there. How do I get rid of this safely?

            A few questions.

            Is there an entry in add/remove programs that is related to the new eBay icon?
            Have you tried to delete it in safe mode?
            Are the other computers are running AVG as well.

            Download Panda Anti-Rootkit.zip
            Unzip it and run the PAVARK.exe file.
            Tick the box that says In depth scan and follow the on screen instructions.
            Let me know the results in your reply and also post a new Hijackthis log.

            No, FYI, I did find another program that I missed earlier that I don't remember installing, "WebEx", so I un-installed it.

            I had not tried deleting in safe mode yet but did try this morning and the Ebay icon did delete.

            The first HJT log is from last night before deleting the ebay icon, 2nd HJT log is from today after deleting the Ebay icon. PAVARK is also after deleting Ebay icon.
            I have not deleted anything yet with HJT.

            BTW, I've surfed several sites after re-starting and performance seems to be doing extremely well so far.

            No, FYI, I did find another program that I missed earlier that I don't remember installing, "WebEx", so I un-installed it.
            Never mind. I googled it and it is software provided by Cisco, which is the parent company of Linksys, the manufacturer of my wireless router, adapter and print server. I evidentally installed it when installing software for one of these devices.

            Is there an entry in add/remove for Logitec Desktop Messenger? There is again multiple entries in the HJT log for this and it is un-necessary. Other than that it all looks OK.

            Yes, it was available in 'Add Remove Programs' and I removed it. My Logitech Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse still work fine after re-start so I guess I don't need Logitech messenger anyway.
             
             I have a few questions about some of the software I'm using so I'll be posting those in the appropriate section sometime soon, if I ever get a night off work {working 7 nights}.
            Well, thanks again to this board and for your time an expertise!

            No problem.
