Re: trojan and hijack log

Well done, your logs are clean! There are just a few more things I would like you to do.


The following procedure will clear out ComboFix.exe, as well as the backups and quarantines created by the fix. It will also reset your System Restore by flushing out previous restore points (which contain the infections) and create a new restore point.

Click Start > Run and copy/paste, or type the following bolded text into the Run box and click OK:

ComboFix /u

Re-Enable Windows Defender

Please re-enable your Windows Defender Real-time Protection.
  • Open Windows Defender.
  • Click on Tools>Options.
  • Scroll down and check "Use real-time protection (recommended)".
  • Then, click on the Save button and close Windows Defender.

Microsoft Updates

It is very important that you get all of the critical updates for your Operating System and Internet Explorer. Keeping your OS and browser up to date will help make you less susceptible to attacks by Trojans and viruses. Please go to Microsoft and download all the critical updates to help prevent possible re-infection.

Malware Prevention Tools

These programs configure your computer to prevent known malware-related changes. You can have more than one of these at a time and they take up minimal resources.
  • SpywareBlaster - Install & update SpywareBlaster with the latest definitions. After you have updated, click the button - enable protection for all unprotected items. Check regularly for updates.
  • IE-Spyad - Here is an installation guide -> http://www.techsupportforum.com/cont...ticles/63.html
  • MVPS Hosts File - extract and double-click the mvps.bat file. This will replace your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites form serving you unsolicited advertisements, preventing your computer from connecting to those sites.
  • McAfee SiteAdvisor - helps to warn you before you interact with a dangerous Web site. Works with both IE and Firefox.
  • SpywareGuard - real-time protection that detects and blocks spyware before it can execute.

Alternative Web Browsers

Using an alternative browser can help prevent malware from being installed without your knowledge, but may not work on all websites.
