Hi there minaccia

Your logs are looking clear. You may now re-enable any programs. You may also now re-hide system files.

Your Adobe Acrobat Reader is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.

Adobe Reader is a large program and if you prefer a smaller program you can get Foxit 2.0 from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

There is a newer version of Adobe Acrobat Reader available.

• Please go to this link Adobe Acrobat Reader Download Link
• Click Download
• On the right Untick Adobe Phototshop Album Starter Edition if you do not wish to include this in the installation.
• Click the Continue button
• Click Run, and click Run again
• Next click the Install Now button and follow the on screen prompts

When the installation is complete go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all previous versions.

You also have some old versions of java running. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.
Please download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.

***Please close any instances of Internet Explorer before continuing!***

• Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program.
• From the drop-down menu, choose English and click on Select.
• JavaRa will open; click on Remove Older Versions to remove the older versions of Java installed on your computer.
• Click Yes when prompted. When JavaRa is done, a notice will appear that a logfile has been produced. Click OK.
• A logfile will pop up. Please save it to a convenient location.

Then download and install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 10.

You can delete JavaRa.Zip, and the unzipped JavaRa.exe. It's job is finished.

Lets tidy up after ourselves

Go start menu select run (vista users press windows key & r) to bring up the run dialog
In the command line type in combofix /u - Note the space between combofix & /u)

This will clear out 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.

Now that you appear to be free from malware lets help you stay that way!

Update windows on a regular basis - If you do not have automatic updates enabled then

Visit Microsoft's Update Page and update your computer from there
Update your virus checker on a regular basis - It is no use having a virus checker with out of date definitions.
Keep an eye on your firewall. check what it wants to allow, do not simply allow everything, If there is any processes that you are unsure of then dont be afraid to ask for advice. For more information on firewalls read this article here

Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:

Open Internet Explorer, click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.

Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.

Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

Safer Browsing
Use software such as Trendprotect or Sitehound to help you stay away from unsuspecting sites that have malicious purposes.
Use Spywareblaster to help prevent the installation of unwanted BHO's (Browser Helper Objects)

Use an alternative browser
Other browsers tend to be more secure than IE as they do not make use of active x objects, active x objects can be used by spyware as an infection point on your computer. Safer non active x browsers include Opera browser and, more recently, Firefox browser.

Computer Maintenance
Malware can breed in temporary locations. Use a program such as ccleaner slim to clear out temporary files your computer on a regular basis.

Scan your computer regularly for malware
Scan on a regular basis to keep your computer clean, free software such as Spybot's Search & Destroy and Adaware 2007 Free by Lavasoft can help you keep clear. These products are scan on demand and do not have active back ground scanning. These two products can be installed together without any complications.

Other alternative software that runs under licience and monitors your computer continuously in the background for malware is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) - Please note that this product can also be run as free without a licience but the background protection will not be active.

I have included some security related articles that I advise you read through in your own time. These articles will give you tips and advice on preveting malware, and how to stay safe whilst browsing the internet.
