found malware thought remove

I just replaced my hard drive. After formatting and downloading a few programs very buggy (after downloading XP updates) and continued to get worse, so reformatted and after downloading XP updates (did just after downloading McAfee Security Center) desktop properties are working intermittently and disk defragmenter doesn't work at all. I ran McAfee today and got a message about Artemis and that it's quarantined (do I need to do more?). I downloaded (hadn't had time yet and McAfee told me not to) Malwarebytes, SuperAntispyware, and Spyware Blaster and ran. Malwarebytes found and said it got rid of two infections:

Registry Data Items Infected:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusDisableNotify (Disabled.SecurityCenter) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify (Disabled.SecurityCenter) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

However, disk defragmenter still isn't working and that happened before and someone at this forum found malware on my computer and after it was deleted my disk defragmenter worked again. So I think there's still something on my computer that the other programs aren't finding or deleting.

I'm not very computer knowledgeable so please be patient with me in describing any instructions in full.

I'm also not sure how I picked up anything as hadn't done anything but drivers and McAfee then Windows XP update before this happened. I'm far from loading my computer still.

Thank you for any help.

Re: found malware thought remove

Are you sure you are copying it all? There should be more sections in this report.

There it is.

I'm not seeing any malware. Where did McAfee find Artemis? Can you post the full path?

Re: found malware thought remove

I'm sorry I can't even find the report on my reports now. Could the two items that Malwarebytes found and got rid of have been the Artemis?
I can't even find the reports from the last 3 days from McAfee about LEAKTEST, which it tried to get rid of and thought was malware and I finally was able to delete (it was in temp files and wouldn't delete for a couple days). I'm looking in reports and only finding when system guard was allowed one time change to computer and all are about Microsoft update downloads, except once for my printer.

Whenever I click on view log for any event - it says no log exists. Could something be keeping it from storing event logs?

The malwarebytes report is:

Re: found malware thought remove

No, nothing should be keeping you from viewing reports. Let's be sure and run this online scan. It can take some time, so please be patient and allow it to run it's full course:


**Vista users - right click on the IE icon and run as administrator


Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/par...avwebscan.html

1. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.


2. To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
  • Close any open programs
  • Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan

3. Click Run at the Security prompt. The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database. Please be patient as this can take several minutes.
  • Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
  • Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
  • Click View scan report at the bottom.



  • Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply

Re: found malware thought remove

I just did another scan with both McAfee and Malwarebytes and Malwarebytes found a trojan.banker. Here's the log:

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.37
Database version: 2252

I don't understand why I'm all of a sudden getting so many malware attacks.

Thank you

Re: found malware thought remove

I'm not that computer knowledgeable, so these are probably a very basic questions. Once my anti-malware has found and quarantined something can I delete/remove that item from my computer? If so, will it affect my OS? Why aren't my anti-malware programs protecting me from these malware installing? Most of my friends say I'm pretty safe in my surfing habits; however, I seem to really be picking things up and don't know how to prevent.
Thank you.

Wait severals days or so, after something has been quarantined. If you are not experiencing any ill-effects, then go ahead and delete that item.

No Anti Malware or Anti Virus program can block everything as new malware and methods of invading a system are constantly being developed. Even legit sites you visit can have malicious code parked on them. The owner of the site may not be aware of it until people complain.

To help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs if you do not already have them:

WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:
  • Green to go
  • Yellow for caution
  • Red to stop
WOT has an addon available for both Firefox and IE.

SpywareBlaster 4.0 to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place. Install & update SpywareBlaster with the latest definitions. After you have updated, click the button - enable protection for all unprotected items.
  • It will block any bad ActiveX from running in Internet Explorer and Firefox if it's listed in their database (which you should update frequently). To view their database and list of restricted sites, launch the program and click on each of the tabs on the main display page.


Update, and scan with your onboard Anti Malware and Anti Virus programs regularly. Without regular updates you will not be protected when new malicious programs are released.


Scan here http://secunia.com/software_inspector/ for out of date & vulnerable common applications on your computer


Please take a look at these well written articles:

PC Safety and Security--What Do I Need?
Think Prevention


**Be very wary with any security software that is advertised in popups or in other ways. They are not only usually of no use, but often have malware in them.



**Kindly respond one more time and let me know if we may consider this thread resolved.

Re: found malware thought remove

Thank you very much.

I actually have SpywareBlaster on my computer already. I downloaded it when I downloaded Malwarebytes. I must have forgotten to say I had it. I do update McAfee automatically and MalwareBytes & SpywareBlaster every time I log on and just before I log off the computer, if on for any length of time.

I've never heard of WOT before; however, it sounds a lot like the McAfee SiteAdvisor I have - will they conflict?

I didn't know I could scan for out of date & vulnerable common applications on my computer - thank you.

Thank you for all of your help.

Re: found malware thought remove

Thank you very much.

I actually have SpywareBlaster on my computer already. I downloaded it just after I downloaded Malwarebytes when loading programs last week on my new hard drive. I must have forgotten to say I had it. I do update McAfee automatically and MalwareBytes & SpywareBlaster every time I log on and just before I log off the computer, if on for any length of time. I did have SUPERAntiSpyware on my old hard drive with the others; however, didn't download it again as seemed to be having conflicts with McAfee lately.

Re: found malware thought remove

I will be honest with you, I used to use McAfee Site Advisor but have found WebOfTrust to be much more accurate. And believe me, no one Googles more than we members of the Security Team.

It's a bit of a read, but a good topic here regarding McAfee Site Advisor's performance

Re: found malware thought remove

Thank you. Will I need to disable McAfee Site Advisor to use?

Thank you so very much.

Re: found malware thought remove

You're welcome. Uninstall it via Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove programs

Let me know if you ran into any difficulty in removing it.

Re: found malware thought remove

I'm not finding site advisor under add/remove; however, I believe it can be disabled by right clicking on it and clicking on disable - will that be enough? The only thing under McAfee in my add/remove is the whole security center. I think it's part of the package and so don't know how to remove totally. And I can't find anywhere within security center to disable it or remove it either.
Many thanks for all of your hard work.

Re: found malware thought remove

You're most welcome, tierra.

Seems you're right about it being part of McAfee Security Center. You are also correct that you can simply disable it via right click.

I'd also launch IE>Tools>Toolbars and ensure it is unchecked there as well.

In Firefox, it would be Firefox>View>Toolbars
