New User with multiple viruses that somehow got past Avast...

[wyrmrider]

have you rebooted since?
you might post at the comodo forum - it's ok
there may be a log somewhere
the comodo virus scan is precautionary and also a way to market their version of CLAM AV

Hello Wyrmrider, Oldman, and other new friends,
I got the computer back up. checked it again and found no new problems, defragged.
How do a set a restore point?
How do I get rid of old infected restore points?
I will install comodo firewall after these steps.
Still can't install java. Install in safemode?

thanks

Disable the system restore on all drives, reboot (that will clear ALL restore points), enable system restore, that will create a new clean restore point.

Maybe a corupted download of java. Delete the java file you downloadedn then click this link to start a download of the offline install. Save it your desktop. Once the download is completed, close all open windows and browsers, double click the file to start the install.

Hello friends,
Just in case, I am posting HJT log from today. Other scanners show no events.
I installed comodo firewall as suggested
I still cannot install java; tried offline, deactivating avast, comodo, tea time, de-immunizing all and still no luck. went to sun forum,  following all suggestions with no luck.

Thanks for all of your kind help over the past week.

Other than these unknown entries, I don't see anything obvious.

Unknown (3 similar entries to this first one)
O16 - DPF: {CAFEEFAC-0015-0000-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA} (Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06) -

O16 - DPF: {CAFEEFAC-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA} -

Further investigation, these could be related to Java 6 update 5 plug-in as in the first entry.

8 Mar 2008 ... CLSID ={CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0005-ABCDEFFEDCBA} is the name of if a new ActiveX Control added with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 5. ...

Now if that is the case a) I don't see JAVA installed on your system so the plug-in probably wouldn't work.

No really helpful google info on this but is also likely ro be a JAVA plug-in.

CHECK and fix them?
Thanks DavidR

[wyrmrider]

do not FIX anything with hjt till you find out what it is
HJT just disables the start up entry
for example if you nuke new.net with HJT you will loose internet access
so the cure can be worse than the disease

may be the 016
google everything and report back

as davidR said these are/ may be for an old version of java so remove them conventionally not with HJT

If it turns out that they are leftovers we can deal with them later

[oldman]

The o16 lines are activex downloads. They can be safely removed with HJT. If you visit a sute that requires them, they will be downloaded. This is for active x in general.

The ones that are listed appear to be java related. The first one looks to be version 5 update 6. The others look like they may be failed active x installs.

Question: When you first tried to update your java, did you install or try to install the activex component? This is not required.

I would suggest fixing the lines, then going to add/remove programs and uninstall all versions of java. Reboot and try to install the java from the link I posted earlier.

Wyrmrider, Oldman, and others who were so gracious to take time out of their lives for almost a week to help me with this problem;THANK YOU so much! It seems that I have finally gotten "bug" free and all software updated, including JAVA (it was quite a torturous event in itself).

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help.

God Bless
