Hi,

I posted my problem in the OS forum - basically I can't access any antivirus update or any antivirus site and my computer freezes. Also I was not able to directly download HiJack This it said the page could not be displayed, but I managed to download it from a link in this forum in the end.

Here is the log:

I see you've uninstalled AVG8 and install Sophos.
I also see Zonealarm. Zonealarm has caused alot of problems in the past, uninstall it and see what happens.
====

Your version of Java is outdated and needs to be updated to take advantage of fixes that have eliminated security vulnerabilities.
Updating Java:

  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 update 7.
  • Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • In the Window that opens, select your platform and language, check the "agree" box, and click Continue.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add or Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
    - Examples of older versions in Add or Remove Programs:
    - Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2
    - J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0
    - J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u7-windows-i586-p.exe that you downloaded to install the newest version.

===

Once you've uninstall the old version of Java, and installed the new version, please do this:

Please download JavaRa from here

  • First, unzip it.
  • Then run JavaRa.
  • Select English from the drop down menu and press Select.
  • This will open JavaRa.
  • Press Remove older versions
  • Press yes to the prompt.
  • It will make a log file of what it's removed.
  • Copy and paste the log back here along with a fresh copy of Hijack This log.

Just some tidying up to do in Hijack This.


  • Open HijackThis
  • Choose "Do a system scan only"
  • Check the boxes in front of these lines:


    O2 - BHO: WormRadar.com IESiteBlocker.NavFilter - {3CA2F312-6F6E-4B53-A66E-4E65E497C8C0} - (no file)

    O23 - Service: AVG Free8 WatchDog (avg8wd) - Unknown owner - C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgwdsvc.exe (file missing)


  • Press "Fix Checked"
  • Close Hijack This.

====

Now open a new notepad file.
Input this into the notepad file:

@echo off
sc stop "avg8emc"
sc stop "avg8wd"
sc delete "avg8emc"
sc delete "avg8wd"
exit


Save this as Fixservices.bat, save it to your desktop.
Double click Fixservices.bat and the black cmd window will open and close, this is normal.

Can you access Sophos websites/other antivirus websites now Zonealarm is gone?

Hi,

I still cannot access any antivirus websties (I am just redirected to random search engines). Sophos needs to be updated as it is only recently installed and won't scan until it is. When I click update a box appears and says there are no files to download, then it says "Installing Sophos Anti-virus..", then it just closes and I still can't scan... When I right click on he Sophos icon (on te taskbar) it only allows me to click on "Update now".

Okay.
I'm asking a colleague for a second opinion.

For now, do this, follow this path to the hosts file.
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Double click hosts and you'll get a menu with what to open it with, select Notepad, it will open the hosts file.
Copy and paste everything inside it back here.

Hi,

Here it what it says:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

Darn, there goes my idea.
Hold tight while we get a new idea.

descriptionSolvedRe: Can't access antivirus update, etc.

New idea, don't think it will work, but worth a try.

Now open a new notepad file.
Input this into the notepad file:


REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscDomains]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscDomains]


Save this as fix.reg, save it to your desktop.

Then disconnect from the Internet! <== Important!!

Double click fix.reg and select yes to the merge with registry prompt.

Hi,

Sad tearing

Okay, lets try this, see if it finds any leftovers we might have missed.
If it comes back clean, we know it's not a virus causing this.

Please download and run this tool.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

  • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts.
Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.
If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.


Post the contents of the MBAM Log with a fresh copy of HijackThis log.

Hi,

I had to download MBAM on another computer, as I can't dnload anything like that as it always comes up with "Page cannot be displayed".
I a rying o run the setup, but when I click on it nothing happens. It appears under 'Processes' on the Task maager, but nothing appears on screen.

I guess you won't be able to access this either. Evil or enraged

Please run a free online scan with Kaspersky AntiVirus (works only with MS Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher).
Go to http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner and click the "Kaspersky Online Scanner" button (NOT "Kaspersky File Scanner").

  • In the new window that opens, click the "Accept" button to accept the user agreement, install the ActiveX control, and download the program.
  • When you get the Windows dialog asking if you want to install this software, click the "Install" button.
  • When the "Update progress" line changes to "Ready" and the "NEXT ->" button lights up with a green arrow, click it.
  • Click on the "Scan Settings" button, and in the next window select the "extended" database, and click Ok.
  • Under "Please select a target to scan:", click My Computer to start the scan.
When the scan is finished, click the "Save as Text" button, and save the file as kavscan.txt to your Desktop, close the Kaspersky On-line Scanner window, and post the text in kavscan.txt in your next reply.

Nope, can't access this either I'm afraid, I just get redirected to a search engine or I get the message: "Intrnet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

This is actually quite annoying now.

Close MBAM in Task Manager.
Download combofix from here

Once downloaded, rename it to combo-fix.exe.
Double click it to run it, follow the prompts and post the resulting log.
