Hi Pondus
This post has been moved here to "Viruses and Worms" by request.
The requested Logs are Attached Below It would not allow 5 Attachments so Excluded MWMB's Log as it was "No Virus Found" Thanks Cobba Dasha

Hi I have either 2 separate Problem's or one big one? If I am incorrect' in Posting both of these together please advise me and I will move them immediately, to the correct area $:-\$

The first problem is' that every time I open a Note Pad txt Page then use it and then try and "Save As" It won't save? If I click on File> Save as> Copy OR Ctrl + C + V it opens the Firefox Downloading Window! Thereafter my Keyboard becomes unusable, incorrectly typing every Letter and Symbol that I "Type' ? I can only fix it by "Closing" what I was using eg a Browser Page or Kingsoft Writer Doc Page and clearing the Firefox Tools > Clear Recent History Cache? This also happened twice with a Fax and Picture Viewer file I had saved to "the desktop" from a "!Quick Screen Catch File" when I deleted the File from the Desktop and cleaned FF Cache it worked OK again until the next time $:-\$

The other Problem; I have been getting this Malicious URL warning every 30 minutes for the last 4 hour's:

Infection Details
URL: ht..://newworldtraf.pro/xmlrpc.php
Process: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Appl...
Infection: URL:Mal

I tried to Google it to find out if it is a threat or just an error" but I can only get the website of this company that I have never heard of "newworldtraf.pro" / Can anyone give me some info please Dasha

Could you let me know if there is any change after this

Also could you expand this Process: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Appl... so that I can see the responsible file

Run OTL

thanks essexboy, the computer seems Okay but the "Malicious URL" red flag came up again during the OTL Run Fix - Re Boot, here is the Scan Log Cobba

essexboy · « **Reply #10 on:** April 01, 2013, 12:07:00 PM »

Has it come back since or was it just whilst OTL was moving the files ?

Dasha · « **Reply #11 on:** April 02, 2013, 12:29:34 AM »

Subject to no further problems

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL

Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
Quote
:Commands
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]

Then click the Run Fix button at the top
Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

Click Start.
Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab.
Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?Keep safe :wave:
