  1. Hmm My confessions

    1. I hate typos with a passion they drive me right up the wall.

    2. I live on coffee and tylenol

    3. Spyware battle is getting more and more difficult everyday, I have to read like 2 to 3 hours a day just to stay with it.

  2. Hi paxman356 and welcome to Besttechie :)

    After looking at this log I would have to say this is clean and you have a different problem.

    I'm going to recommend one thing for you to try please.

    Step 1:

    Download the eScan Antivirus Toolkit Here. Save it to the Desktop, it is roughly 10MB in size.

    Before running the program we need to update the signature files first in Step 2.

    Step 2:

    Updating the eScan Antivirus Toolkit with the latest files:

    1.) Double-click on the mwav.exe file saved to the Desktop; it will extract the program files to a new folder called Kaspersky at the root of the C:\drive. (C:\Kaspersky.)

    2.) Double-click on My Computer, double-click on the Hard Drive (usually the C:\drive), find and double-click on the Kaspersky folder; inside the Kaspersky folder, find and double-click on the kavupd.exe file. Double-clicking on the kavupd.exe file opens the Windows command prompt (DOS screen) and updates the program with all the latest signature files.

    3.) After the update is complete, the bottom of the command prompt will read "Press any key to continue", click any key to close the screen.

    Please do not run a scan with the eScan Antivirus Toolkit utility yet.

    Step 3:

    Please reboot into Safe Mode. Detailed instructions on how to boot into Safe Mode Here.

    Step 4:

    From Safe Mode, run the eScan Antivirus Toolkit. Please follow these instructions:

    1.) To run the eScan Antivirus Toolkit program, look for a file called mwavscan.com inside the C:\Kaspersky folder.

    2.) Double-click on the mwavscan.com file; this will open the eScan program.

    3.) With the eScan interface on your Desktop, make sure that these boxes under Scan Option are checked : Memory, Registry, Startup Folders, System Folders, Services.

    4.) Check the Drive box, this will give you access to the other Drive box (radio button) below it, check this second Drive box as well, now a large window across from the second Drive box appears. In this window use the drop-down arrow and choose the drive letter of your hard drive, usually C:\.

    5.) Below these boxes, make sure the box Scan All Files is checked, not Program Files.

    6.) Click the Scan Clean button and let the utility run until it completes a thorough scan of your hard drive. When the scan has finished it will read Scan Completed. Do not Exit the tool just yet.

    7.) Open a new NotePad file (click on "Start" >> "All Programs" >>"Accessories" >> "NotePad"), then Copy/Paste the content of the Virus Log Information window into that file, and save it. eScan also creates a full log inside the C:\Kaspersky folder (named mwav.log), but it is huge and cannot be posted on a forum. Please post the content of the log you have saved (into NotePad) in your next reply, once all steps are completed.

    Reboot your computer into normal Windows.

    After this is complete also send me a new hijack log please. :)

  3. Excellent and more truthful words were never spoken :)

    I still remember to this day, when i cut my foot open, my mother never rushed me to the hospital she stuck my foot in some flour to stop the bleeding. Put my sock on and sent me on my merry way. And to imagine i lived through that... :D

  4. sorry john, i know that. maby dknoppix you can tell me since you are also in COYOTE. how do you get links copied , put in folders,then retrive to post so the links work !!!!!!!!!! or is there another way ??????

    Hiya Flash :)

    Just wanted to correct something that i see. I am in no way shape or form affiliated with Coyote forums. Not that, that would be a bad thing but not accurate. If i misread this i do apologize. :)

  5. Hiya flash :)

    There is i find the hard way and the easy way.

    To create a link on this board for example, its fairly easy to do.

    When you find something on the net or something that you want to bring peoples attention to this is what you have to do.

    Go to the site and copy and paste the address from the address bar. If your in this forum, when you click on add reply, where you place your text, is where all the magic begins.

    See that little http:// up top in your code buttons click on that once. Now a box will open up and a little http:// will be sitting there hilighted, delete that. Take the address you got from the web and paste it into there. Another box opens up enter the title of the page or link and hit ok. When someone reads a post and clicks on that link, they will go to that page. You can modify it anyway you want in the title box, you can call it here, or there, or whatever you want. :D

    If you want to keep a list of good sites to visit, copy and paste the addresses down and make them into a word file or something or even a notpad file and you can copy and paste them the same way as described above. Hope that helps :D

  6. Hmmm about me: ;)

    Well I have worked for the federal government for 7 years in the province of Alberta, Canada.

    My job title is WFE tech meaning (Water, fuel, environmental tech)

    Been into comps for about 10 years learning not much about anything, other than spyware and virus removal.

    spend about 6-8 hrs a day in the front of this comp and work on a spyware help board, which will remain nameless as long as i post here.

    Thats it in a nutshell :D

  7. Well liz i took this right from the javacool site, unfortunately there is no easy answer i can give you.

    Spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and dialers are some of the fastest-growing threats on the Internet today.

    By simply browsing to a web page, you could find your computer to be the brand-new host of one of these unwanted fiends!

    The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.

    # Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.

    # Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.

    # Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

    SpywareBlaster can help keep your system spyware-free and secure, without interfering with the "good side" of the web.

    And unlike other programs, SpywareBlaster does not have to remain running in the background.

    Maybe another of this fine group can give you a more full answer as this is the best i can come up with. :)
