  2. SpyAxe is a new raising threat in the malware community. The occurances of it is growing every day. If you do get infected with it, you can post a HJT log in the malware removal section. The HJT experts will have a tool available (probably along with other things as this is usually bundled with other malware) for an easy(er) removal. Matt

  9. I just whipped up a simple batch file the clears these history files from IE, Firefox, and Opera. You need to use it in safe mode under an administrator account. Please note: I tested it on my machine, and everything worked fine, but I can't guarantee anything. (Although these files self restore and they arent vital files, so there shouldn't be a problem. The batch is attached. Edit: Ok, we can't upload batch files. Well, if any of you would like to create this simple little file, just copy the following contents into Notepad, and save it as DelHistory.bat . Make sure when you save, you
  10. This is something I have been wonderinf for a long time: "Does Firefox keep its own "index.dat" like IE does?" Well, now I suppose my question has been answered. I didn't try that exploit, but thank you both for the info. Matt
  11. Congrats! Your log is clean! Is everything running ok now? The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people.

    Welcome back. Those lines you coulnd't find are still there--but that's ok, they weren't doing any harm, just a bit of clutter we could have cleaned up. Other than that, your log is clean. Are you experiencing any problems? The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

  14. mE-, my fault. You are not currently running an anti-virus. Please download, install, update, and scan with AVG FREE. An anti virus is vital tool that will prevent infections from getting on your PC. Also, please download a firewall. This will also stop intruders from getting onto your machine. Might I suggest Zone Alarm Free. Without these tools, both of us are waisting our time, as you need these to remain protected. Once you have installed both tools, and scanned with the AV, please post a new HJT log. Matt
