How to remove Trojans?

[Lisandro]

Yes , i did download A-squared , it found some other things but no trojans and those things are in quarantine but i didnt download HJT.

And so? Are you clean now? 

[Sarethor]

well, i dont know , when i scan with trend-micro, it doesnt find anythin, good but why do i have these problems?

[Lisandro]

But why do i have these problems?

Which ones, right now? 

[Sarethor]

The ones ive told 2 times already!!

my ME still does a little bit odd, like when i click on ie or firefox , it gets black and then i have to reboot or sometimes it gets stuck with green stripes at the top an then i have to reboot again and again , one time i rebooted 14 times after each other.
Are the Trojans doing this? :'(

Sometimes if i click on IE or firefox the PC turns black gets stuck and then there r green stripes at the top.

Hi Sarethor,

I noticed a few things in your log:

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://kc.bar.need2find.com/KC/menusearch.html?p=KC

Research conducted 02/06/2006: Based on eTrust™ PestPatrol® Spyware Scorecard v2.05.09, 'MySearch Toolbar' violates the following criteria: 'installs without providing explicit opt-out option from vendor's site or associated application.' MySearch was installed with insufficient user awareness and consent from FasterXP.com. As a side note, it came bundled with a known adware application and a homepage hijacker.

Removal recommended

O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)

You can remove this

O16 - DPF: {288C5F13-7E52-4ADA-A32E-F5BF9D125F99} (CR64Loader Object) - http://www.miniclip.com/platypus/miniclipGameLoader.dll

This is a Trojan downloader.

You must have HijackThis! fix this entry.

F1 - win.ini: run=C:\WINDOWS\hpfsched.bat;C:\WINDOWS\hpfsched.exe;C:\WINDOWS\hpfsched.com;C:\W INDOWS\hpfsched.scr;C:\WINDOWS\hpfsched.vbs;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\hpfsched.bat;C:\W INDOWS\COMMAND\hpfsched.exe;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\hpfsched.com;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\h pfsched.scr;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\hpfsched.vbs;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\hpfsched.bat;C:\WI NDOWS\SYSTEM\hpfsched.exe;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\hpfsched.com;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\hpfsc hed.scr;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\hpfsched.vbs

This entry looks suspicious, but hpfsched.exe seems to be a printer program to remind you to clean the printer heads. A number of forums have recommended fixing this entry. Certainly removal won't cause any problems, but you may want to wait for further advice: I'm sure essexboy can give us some more information.

You also have WildTangent, which may be a concern:

Ok thx for replying

Here is the new HJT log

[FreewheelinFrank]

You can fix this redundant entry:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {A53A2840-6291-C1EA-440B-B5FB2119460B} - C:\WINDOWS\APPLICATION DATA\FORSOAP\TRAYISO.EXE (file missing)

Otherwise, the log looks good. But you do need to install the latest version of Sun Java:

After installing, please uninstall any older versions of Java on your computer as they are a security risk.

I don't know if you use an alternative browser, but doing so would be a lot safer- and they are also a lot more feature-rich than IE6.

ok thx, i will reply when some problems come back.

[Sarethor]

Ok , im gonna dl avast or another antivirus bcuz trend-micro is outdated.
Does anybody know a better (free) antivirus than avast?

[FreewheelinFrank]

As this is the avast! forum, you're probably going to be recommended avast! here. 

You can check out detection rates here:

http://www.av-comparatives.org/

Avira has better detection rates, but has a few drawbacks, viz: updates can take 15 minutes, if they ever happen at all, the program is nagware, and there's a bug in the update procedure that leaves a process running at 100% CPU usage.

According to av-comparatives, avast! is 'advanced' and AVG standard in terms of detection.

avast! has more features than AVG (Webshield, P2P scanning etc.)

The choice is yours!

[galooma]

do you expect someone here to answer that ??


seriously if you feel you need two then combine avast! with bit defender free as a backup, it has good detection rates and no resident to clash with avast!

good luck 

[Lisandro]

Does anybody know a better (free) antivirus than avast?

NO 

[Sarethor]

OK peeps, im gonna dl avast, happy
