I've somehow caught a virus that when I think I've got rid of it, I reboot my computer and it's back! I've been using both ad-aware and norton, and they catch things and delete them, but when I reboot they're back! Please help!

I am including a HijackThis report below:

Re: Please Help Me!!

I've tried looking through msconfig but the problem is I dont' know what I'm looking at!
 
Re: Please Help Me!!

it's tough, can you post a MSCONFIG screenshot? Hijack this is good, but it's very long. From what you describe there is more than likely something in there, and the list will be shorter. To post a screen shot, open MSCONFIG, do an ALT + Print Screen Key to grab the active window. Paste that into MS Paint, then upload.
 
Re: Please Help Me!!

i looked through it but cant see anything, do you know the name of the virus?
 
Re: Please Help Me!!

here are the screenshots of msconfig

Re: Please Help Me!!

I only skimmed briefly, but try this initially.

Uncheck EVERYTHING except

gcasServ (ms anti-spyware)
ccApp
acctMgr (both AV related)

don't worry about services for now.

Reboot, run a scan with MS Antispyware and Norton.
 
Re: Please Help Me!!

Now to solve the problem.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemLoader] C:\WINDOWS\sysldr32.exe

Troj/Agobot-A is a backdoor Trojan which runs in the background as a system process and allows unauthorised remote access to the computer.
Troj/Agobot-A copies itself to the Windows system folder as SYSLDR32.EXE and adds entries to the registry at
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
to run itself on system restart.


Enter safe mode, turn off system restore, and delete the file. Then enter your registry to the above locations, and remove the entries so the sl-ut can't come back.

oh, and this is no good.

Delete winsys.exe

winsys.exe is a part of a surveillance software from bc-technologies. It is used to monitor and store a record of all user activities. This process should be removed to ensure your personal privacy.


oh, and this too.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HostSrv] C:\WINDOWS\sachostx.exe
sachostx - sachostx.exe - Process Information
Process File: sachostx or sachostx.exe
Process Name: W32.Looksky.A/D Worm

Description:
sachostx.exe is a process which is registered as the W32.Looksky.A/D Worm. This virus is distributed via the Internet through e-mail and comes in the form of an e-mail message, in the hopes that you open it’s hostile attachment. The worm has it’s own SMTP engine which means it gathers E-mails from your local computer and re-distributes itself. In worst cases this worm can allow attackers to access your computer, stealing passwords and personal data. It is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately.


and get rid of SpySherrif.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows installer] C:\winstall.exe

How to Remove

Scrap this too - O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http:// bar.mywebsearch.com/menusearch.html?p=ZBB]

Also slated for deletion are the following bogus services performing your everyday lame drive by install.

O16 - DPF: {15AD6789-CDB4-47E1-A9DA-992EE8E6BAD6} - http://static.windupdates.com/cab/Do...ridge-c283.cab
O16 - DPF: {1D4DB7D2-6EC9-47A3-BD87-1E41684E07BB} - http://ak.imgfarm.com/images/nocache...p1.0.0.8-2.cab
O16 - DPF: {2917297F-F02B-4B9D-81DF-494B6333150B} (Minesweeper Flags Class) -
not entirely sure on this one, but likely useless to you.

O20 - Winlogon Notify: browsela - C:\WINDOWS\system32\browsela.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: msupdate - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\msupdate32.dll
Both are unneeded as far as I can tell.

People have to quit confusing trojans annd malware with viruses.
 
who cares? I went through the log bit by bit, uncovered the crap.

Needle, let us know how it turns out.
 
Microsoft Antispyware combined with any reputable virus scanner has not failed me in cleaning any machine. I didn't mistake malware and trojans with viruses, I was being thorough.
 
Please help! OK, so I had a similar virus too on windows xp. I tried to look up the virus online because i kept getting the dns404 screen. The program that keeps appearing is called "spyware strike". When I tried researching "spyware strike" on the net, nothing showed up, so I'm guessing it's really new. I thought it was similar to spyaxe in that it says that windows update has discovered viruses and adware and u have to pay to download this program to remove it. However, everytime I deleted it, it kept reappearing and I think it actually downloaded viruses/malware onto my computer so that's why I figure it was the same as spyaxe. So I followed that remedy on http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en which is also posted on other forums. The only problem is, the malware did not go away and actually came back with a vengence. The computer freezes almost as soon as it loads and on the occasion that is doesn't freeze, when I try to click on a file or program or even the start menu it freezes so I'm unable to do anything. I can't retrieve any data to post on the forum on the virus because I can't seem to get that far on the computer without it freezing. I'm not really sure how the virus got on the computer because it's my parents computer. If you could please help me to remove it, I would really appreciate it, thank you so much in advanced!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
