HijackThis log

Well after using HijackThis and this forum I have successfully cleared my laptop of problems. however my girlfriends computer has been acting up so I decided to take a look at it. She is running numerous 3rd party programs such as Kazaa and Incredimail, so I know this computer is ripe with infestation.

I ran Spybot S&D and fixed all the problems it found, but I tried to download Ad-Aware and everytime I went to the site or to download.com and tried to download it my browser got an "error" and had to restart.

So I call on the aid of these forums again to help me battle and infestation.

*EDIT* I should add that previous to running Spybot I removed Kazaa, Incredimail and any other odd programs I found in the Add/Remove list.

*EDIT2* more stuff popped up so I reran HiJackThis and changed the log to reflect the most recent scan.

Here is the HijackThis log:

Please post a followup Hijack this log, and say if your problems persist.

 

Ok, I made the changes you suggested, deleted the files etc.

After restarting my computer I was able to finally download and install Adaware 6.0. After running Spybot and adaware; and fixing the numerous problems they found. I have rerun HiJackThis as you requested.

EDIT: I seen at the end of the log a reference to Incredimail, I want that program uninstalled and anything related to it, along with ICQ, and Kazaa. Is it safe to "fix" that file.

Here is the new log:

I have made the changes to my security settings in IE ot the ones suggested in the "How did I get infected?" thread. Hopefully this prevents it from happening again.

Thanks for the help.

Kyle

 

ok I don't know if this was a problem before or if it just popped up after my recent scans and security changes.

I was trying to access www.pizzapizza.com (it is a local pizza company) and there main intro uses Active-X. Thanks to my new settings I was prompted about letting Active-X controls/plug-ins run. I agreed and got the following error. Causing the browser to close.

"Microsoft Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"

this is the Error Signature

"AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 6.1.8293.0 Offset: 000154a7

Is this something that can be fixed with HijackThis? or is this some other IE problem. I have just updated my browser with all recent updates from Windows update.

I haven't noticed this happening on other Active-X sites.

 

Hi sign,

Still some things left to do.
Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [quoqfmkmreavd] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\UWNBLF.EXE

O16 - DPF: {F00F4763-7355-4725-82F7-0DA94A256D46} (IMDownloader Class) - http://www2.incredimail.com/contents/setup/downloader/imloader.cab

Then reboot into safe mode and delete:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\UWNBLF.EXE

If you can not find the entry in HijackThis or the file, please post back with a new HijackThis log and don't reboot before someone has answered.
Or if you have to reboot post a new HijackThis log afterwards.

Regards,

Pieter
