Reaccuring popups, warnings, taskbar warning (RESOLVED)

pilot42 · #1 (**permalink**) 27-01-2007, 11:57 PM

My computer has reaccuring popups which try to open as internet explorer windows from xyzgate, every 30 minutes or so, periodic popups that try to direct me to spyware websites and a flashing yellow caution triangle on my lower taskbar that also warns me of spyware and wants to direct me to a site.

I've attached the hijack this log. I hope you can help. I have also attached a smitfraudfix file, but have not done any fixes on it. Thanks.

You are not running HijackThis (HJT) from a desired location. You really need to setup a dedicated folder for HJT items – to avoid horrible clutter and/or potential lost backup issues.

It's best that the HijackThis tool NOT be located in its current location (particularly on your Desktop or in a TEMP folder). This way you can more easily undo any changes if something goes wrong.

Create a new folder in your C: Drive.
Name the FOLDER HijackThis (or HJT) such as C:\Program Files\HijackThis or C:\HJT and move the HijackThis.exe file into it.
Run HJT from there (and revise your shortcut accordingly).

Please print out or copy these instructions/tutorial to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process.

Thanks for your help Vincent. I have followed your instructions and am attaching the logs you requested.

I was wondering if you think the AVG spyware program is better than spybot, which I have used also ( I uninstalled it before installing the AVG program earlier today). Also for AVG should I use the resident shield? Do you have to buy the program for it to work effectively?

Thanks.

AVG AS is much more comprehensive in nature (Trojans in particular). SpyBot is a much shorter scan but often may have detections or satisfactory fixes sooner than other tools. I run them both for this reason.

How is your PC behaving?

Submit the following file to VirusTotal for there immediate feedback - post any malware opinion results back here:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\joywcaaa.exe

Vincent, I'm no longer getting the popups or task bar issues. thank you. The computer does seem a little slow though. I'm not sure if its because I'm running the AVG shield.

joywcaaa.exe is still potentially a concern and potential slowdown contributor since there is no known file by that name searchable on the NET. Strongly suggest you submit that file to VirusTotal. It might turn out to be a suptle 'gift' from your smiley source.

SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:

Make sure that all browser windows and internet links are closed, even this one!
CLICK ’FIX CHECKED’ with HijackThis.

Optionally, you may want to try a fix these lines, as well (recoverable from the HJT Backup if they are found to be needed):
