infection warning


Recommended Posts

Thanks for help. I downloaded Avast free trial version and it slowed down the PC quite noticeably. A "normal" scan with it did not find any virus.

Yes, the little "IP blocking feature" was what I initially saw. It shows randomly 4-5 times in an hour if I am not active on the web. I use Firefox, b.t.w. I don't mind if it shows, but I would very much like to know if my PC tries to connect to some evil out there.

Hi,

Malwarebytes version 1.40 now includes IP blocking which I suspect is what you are seeing. You can see a screenshot and read more about it: http://malwarebytes.besttechie.net/2009/08...re-ip-blocking/

It seems you don't have an anti-virus installed from looking at your HijackThis log. I suggest you download only one of the following free for personal use Antivirus software and install it to your computer:

http://www.free-av.com/

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Only ever have 1 antivirus installed at any time. When you have done so please post a new HijackThis log and let me know if the IP blocking feature was what you were initially referring to.

While inevitably an antivirus will impact slightly on a system, it shouldn't be too drastic depending on your computers specs. Some AV's are better than others in this regard, NOD32 has a good reputation for being relatively light on resources. There is a good guide here that may help speed your computer up somewhat: http://www.malwareremoval.com/tutorials/runningslowly.php

Your log shows you have BitTorrent running, quite apart from the legal or moral issue of file sharing, it is one biggest sources for malware infestations. It may have been related to that and removing it might stop the random warnings. I highly suggest you uninstall BitTorrent, but if you want to keep it you should fix the following line in HijackThis to stop it running from startup:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [bitTorrent DNA] "C:\Program\DNA\btdna.exe"

From what you have said and with the scan results coming back clean, I believe your computer is clean but if you want me to take a further look I will, just let me know.

BTW if you have paid for Malwarebytes you can use their help desk for support: http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/login

The forums are free for anybody to post to and sometimes people can get left behind with the volume looking for help.

Thanks again, especially for your info on BitTorrent! I used it once and didn't know that it started at PC start up!

It is now removed. Yes, I have paid for Malwarebytes, but prefer to come here again if needed.

Is there any way that I can disable Avast while off-line, if I find it slow down too much?

I really don't recommend temporarily turning off avasts realtime protection, however since you managed to appear to be malware free to this point without it, you can do the following:

Right click on the avast! icon in system tray (looks like this: avast.jpg) and choose (Stop On-Access Protection)

Be certain to turn it back on.

Miekiemoes a researcher here at Malwarebytes has an excellent article on prevention tips, it's well worth a read: http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiem...prevention.html

I DO! appreciate your being cautious.

I am still getting the IP warnings, just when writing this, I got three....

But Norton slows down, as Panda, as Avast.

My internet provider has a firewall and in a year I have only got one trojan infection which was easily fixed by MalwareBytes.

It's my decision, I think I take the risk of switching Avast "off" and rely on scanning and fixing only. Thanks again for your help.

Let me know what the IP's are, you can check the ones blocked in the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs

Download at your desktop DDS from one of the links below:

Link 1

Link 2

  • Double click the tool to run it.
  • A black Screen will open, just read the contents and do nothing.
  • When the tool finish it will open 2 reports.
  • Copy/paste both reports back here and remove DDS from your desktop.

Hi,

I have no reason to believe there is anything malicious on your computer, if you want we can check some other tools to see if anything amiss. You seem to have CleanUp! installed, close your browsers down and run it to clear out your temp folders. Afterwards please post the most recent logs from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs folder.

I wish I could, but I cannot find the .Logs you ask for. I have used the search function and found Malwarbytes files and folders, but no "Logs". I opened Malwarebyte's, but couldn't find any

hints there either. I ran CleanUp a few days ago, but it didn't change anything. Is there any other way to find the .Logs folder? Is there a box at MB which needs to be checked or unchecked?

You will need to make sure hidden files/folders are able to be seen: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/...al62.html#winxp

When you have done that right click Start, then Explore and navigate to the following folder which will have the logs in it:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs

If you still can't find it, I can run a fix that can.

This is what I got from Malwarebytes support:

"Any application that accesses the Net can trigger the alert. IM client, P2P software.

So you don't need to do anything. Some sites are being detected as malicious, but this is a bug, we're working on the fix for v1.41.
