D-FRED-BROWN Posted June 5, 2012 ID:557839 Share Posted June 5, 2012 My apologies for the delay.Before we move on, let's update some of your programs.Program updates are a crucial step in preventing malware, as outdated applications are often used by the cybercriminals to gain a foothold on your system.First,I see you have User Accounts Control (UAC) disabled.This is an important security feature which helps prevent malware and other unwanted software from being installed on your computer.I strongly suggest you keep it enabled. See this link for instructions on how to enable it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off-----------Java is out of date and older versions contain vulnerabilities. Please update to the newest version.Download the newest version from here http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp.It's important to remove older versions of Java since it does not do so automatically and old versions still leave you vulnerable.Go to Start > Control Panel and open Add or Remove Programs.Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment). They will have this icon next to them: Select each in turn and click Remove.Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.-----------You're using an old version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, this can leave your PC open to vulnerabilities, you can update it here (uninstall version 7.0 first):Adobe Reader XNote: I suggest you uncheck an optional, third-party download (eg. McAfee Security Scan Plus).After successfully installing Adobe Reader X, see this article on how to make this program more secure: Adobe Reader X secures itself by playing in the sandbox.-----------The newest version of Mozilla Thunderbird is available here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/-----------Let me know how the program updates go, as failed updates may be a sign of additional malware.

Patpat3220 Posted June 7, 2012 Author ID:558229 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The updates were successful. Is there anything else you want me to try. Also the security checker missed an outdated version of 64 bit java as well. This was updated as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-FRED-BROWN Posted June 7, 2012 ID:558338 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Glad to hear the updates went well! Also the security checker missed an outdated version of 64 bit java as well. This was updated as well.Thanks, I'll let the developer of that program know.Unless there are any further issues, I will now provide you with some suggestions for security software.First, let's remove ComboFix:The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bolded text into the Run box and click OK:ComboFix /Uninstall -------------Please consider using these ideas to help secure your computer. While there is no way to guarantee safety when you use a computer, these steps will make it much less likely that you will need to endure another infection. While we really like to help people, we would rather help you protect yourself so that you won't need that help in the future. Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates or get into the habit of checking Windows Update regularly. They usually have security updates every month. You can set Windows to notify you of Updates so that you can choose, but only do this if you believe you are able to understand which ones are needed. This is a crucial security measure.It is really dangerous to go online without an antivirus. Without one, you are extremely likely to get infected and the consequences could be even worse next time. All of the following are excellent free antiviruses. Be sure to only install one.avast!.AntiVirAVGPlease consider installing and running some of the following programs; they are either free or have free versions of commercial programs:Spybot-Search & DestroyA tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features if you don't have the resident part of another anti-spyware program running.SpywareBlasterA tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent malware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.SpywareGuardA tutorial on using SpywareGuard for real-time protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.Please, consider maintaining a firewall with HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention Systems). Firewalls are extremely important and are the first part of your computer's defense. HIPS stops malware by monitoring its behavior and it's very important, too. A firewall is a software program or piece of hardware that helps screen out hackers, viruses, and worms that try to reach your computer over the Internet.If you are using the Windows Firewall please note that it doesn't monitor or block outbound traffic and is therefore less effective than other free alternatives.These firewalls are good and do have free versions availableOutpost Firewall Free Online Armor FirewallA tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.If you use Internet Explorer, it is a good idea to use IE-Spyad for ZonedOut which provides protections against malicious websites. (Requires 2 downloads)Please keep these programs up-to-date and run them whenever you suspect a problem to prevent malware problems. A number of programs have resident protection and it is a good idea to run the resident protection of one of each type of program to maintain protection. However, it is important to run only one resident program of each type since they can conflict and become less effective. That means only one antivirus, firewall and scanning anti-spyware program at a time. Passive protectors, like SpywareBlaster and IE-Spyad can be run with any of them. Note that there are a lot of rogue programs out there that want to scare you into giving them your money and some malware actually claims to be security programs. If you get a popup for a security program that you did not install yourself, do NOT click on it and ask for help immediately. It is very important to run an antivirus and firewall, but you can't always rely on reviews and ads for information. Ask in a security forum that you trust if you are not sure. If you are unsure and looking for anti-spyware programs, you can find out if it is a rogue here:http://www.spywarewa...nti-spyware.htmA similar category of programs is now called "scareware." Scareware programs are active infections that will pop-up on your computer and tell you that you are infected. If you look closely, it will usually have a name that looks like it might be legitimate, but it is NOT one of the programs you installed. It tells you to click and install it right away. If you click on any part of it, including the 'X' to close it, you may actually help it infect your computer further. Keeping protection updated and running resident protection can help prevent these infections. If it happens anyway, get offline as quickly as you can. Pull the internet connection cable or shut down the computer if you have to. Contact someone to help by using another computer if possible. These programs are also sometimes called 'rogues', but they are different than the older version of rogues mentioned above.Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is a very good alternative. In addition to being generally more secure than Internet Explorer, it has a very good built-in popup blocker and add-ons, like NoScripts, can make it even more secure. Opera is another good option.If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from hereOpera is available here: http://www.opera.com/download/For much more useful information, please also read Tony Klein's excellent article: How did I get infected in the first placeHopefully these steps will help to keep you error free. If you run into more difficulty, we will certainly do what we can to help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
