Hijackthis, midaddle,backdoor, you name it (Resolved)

Kizzmit5 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-09-2004, 07:29 PM

This is my first post so i hope i do it right. I have been having a problem with midaddle. I can't get it off my computer. That and a few others, I have used all sorts of programs to help but so far none have really helped and I don't know a lot about computers to do anything good. Actually while I was scanning my computer with one program, another program warned me that I had just gotten "TROJ.AGENT.CF" (it was quarintined though)
Here is my Hijackthis log.

Hello,
Close all browser windows, restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to the following entries and click Fix Checked:

Click Fix Checked

Then boot into Safe Mode and ensure that you are showing Hidden Files and Folders.

Go to C:\documents and settings\neda vargas\local settings\temp\ and once in the folder, click Edit> Select All and hit the delete key to get rid of the contents of the folder. Don't delete the folder itself though.

Reboot and post a fresh log.

That logs clean, how are things running?

Kizzmit5 · #9 (**permalink**) 07-09-2004, 08:58 PM

A Lot better, I play on neopets and wasn't able to visit some pages so i knew something was wrong.

In my efforts to get rid of all this stuff I have downloaded alot of programs. Do you have any suggestions as to what ones I should get rid of and keep?
I have spy sweeper, peperfix, tweaknow regcleaner, spy doctor pc cillian, win patrol, spybot, and adaware. lol I prolly won't need them all but i'm afraid of getting rid of one i'll need.

Thank you Soo much for helping me. You saved me lots of money we didn't have. You are the best and I hope your getting paid somehow for all this.

owen · #10 (**permalink**) 07-09-2004, 09:20 PM

You can uninstall/delete the following:
Spy Sweeper (probably a trial, so it won't last, I have recommeded free programs below)
Peperfix (you don't have a Peper infection)
Tweaknow Regcleaner (probably a trial again so you can get rid of it)
Spy Doctor (probably another trial, get rid of it) P
PC Cillin (if this is a trial, get rid of it and get a free program mentioned in the info below)
Win Patrol (keep it if you want it, it can be useful)
Spybot (A brilliant program, keep it and run regular scans with it. Also update it)
Ad-aware (Another brilliant program, keep it and run regular scans with it. Also update it)

Have a read of the programs we recommend here that you do install to prevent it returning:

Preventing it returning

After your problem has been resolved on the forum, it is an absoulute MUST to do the following steps to prevent the problem returning. Click on the link to get access to the software or webpage that I'm referring to.

1. Visit Windows Update
Pay a visit to Windows Update and scan for and download ALL Critical Updates and Service Packs. New updates are usually released monthly so check back to Windows Update every month.

2. Download Antivirus Software-
If you haven't already got Antivirus software, you should download and install AVG Antivirus. It is freeware and is updated nearly every 2 days (sometimes more frequently if there are a lot of new viruses) and in my opinion, is better than some Antivirus software such as Norton. Antivirus software will prevent viruses infecting your system and it is important that you update it every two days or every week at the most.

3. Download a Firewall-
If you haven't already got a firewall, it is Very important that you download one. Firewalls will prevent unauthorised access to your computer and stop data leaking out of your computer. You may think that it won't happen to you, but Hackers don't care who you are, what you do, where you live or what you had for tea last Sunday on your holiday in the Lake District, they want your data. Firewalls will keep these sneaks out and one of the best is Sygate Personal Firewall, which happens to be freeware.

4. Spyware Scanners-
It is important that as well as having real time spyware protection, you have a spyware scanning application. If you have not already been told to download one earlier in this thread, it is a good idea to download Spybot Search And Destroy and Ad-aware. They are both spyware scanners and will search for a remove spyware. It is recommended that you have both, because one will pick up entries that the other misses. It is even a good idea to download these if you have other programs such as ASE, Spysweeper, Pest Patrol, etc, because one spyware scanner will not pick up everything. Please remember to update your spyware scanners weekly/fortnightly.

5. Prevent Spyware slipping through Internet Explorer-
Quite a lot of spyware slips through Internet Explorer if your settings are not tight enough. Spyware Blaster will help you prevent spyware slipping through and installing tracking cookies. Simply run it via Start> Programs> Spyware Blaster and click Enable All Protection and it will protect you. It doesn't even have to be open! Remember to update weekly/fortnightly.

6. Constant Spyware Protection-
It is important to have constant spyware protection. Spyware Guard works like an antivirus program but detects Spyware instead. It will constantly protect your system. Check for updates monthly.

All Of these steps are very important and it is HIGHLY recommended that you download all of the programs mentioned for your own safety. Remember to Update everything (including Windows using Windows Update)! It is also a good idea to perform weekly/fortnightly scans with Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and your antivirus software.

And last of all, please remember, that common sense is your greatest tool. Without it, spyware and other related Malware would rule!
