Hello all,

I really need help with this one. My computer is seemingly infected
with a virus. I double clicked on an executable file, and the
executable seemingly disappeared. My problem now is that I think I am
infected with an unknown virus / spyware. My mouse cursor will stay
as an arrow for a couple seconds, then switch to the arrow + thinking
sign, then back to the arrow.

By looking at the task manager I've noticed that everytime the cursor
does this, rundll32.exe and sometimes ieuser.exe will simultaneously
show up, then disappear intune with the changing of the cursor.

It does this nonstop and i'm worried, never did this before. I am
working on a project and cannot go through the task of reformatting
and reinstalling, i have to keep working. My computer is no slower,
and seems normal exept for this.

I've run spybot, spyware doctor, ad aware, symantec corporate
antivirus; all with current updated definitions... to no avail.
Running them the first time i'd remove the problems. after rebooting i
run again and then system is clean. usually i will get a report and
follow accordingly to remove it by googling. This problem wont show
up in the searches or in google searches.

I really need assistance and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Below is my hijackthis.log

You have a lot of suspicious Files/folders and running processes on your
VISTA operating system?.
I really can't recommend an Anti-Virus and guarantee it will be compatible
with Vista, so you need to Send your HijackThis to one of many forums for
analysis, no body here will give you an answer to your log file even they
know, because it is MS NG not HijackThis F orum.
Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of many
forums for analysis and troubleshooting:
When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. Post
your log to http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,
http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7, or other appropriate
forums for expert analysis, not here.
HTH.
It will be nice to let us know your findings.
Good luck.

Nass. You are incorrect because I help users with HijackThis reports 7 days
a week & spyware, adware, malware & virus problems too.

Haroonie,

There are some users here that don't like people cluttering up these
newsgroups with log files & I have said in the past that if the users uses
Outlook Express to view these newsgroups then they can add the log to their
post & I will look through it when I get the chance

Please remember that HijackThis is a fantastic application but it misses
some vital places in its search & to give a proper reading you should never
run HijackThis from the Desktop or a folder located on the Desktop like you
have done

I see you are using Symantec Antivirus. Is it Corporate version? If so, when
you click Custom or full search you can click the OPTIONS button to tick the
MEMORY... threats before you scan computer. It helps stop many items.

Haven't seen that you have any firewall enabled or installed.

You have so, so, so many BHO's. Delete all except that Spybot
({53707962-6F74-2D53-2644-206D7942484F}) one

Delete Spy Doctor. Known in the past to give false positives

Also, get rid of rubbish like Google Desktop/notifier and the other Google
stuff for sure.

In Spybot, TOOLS | Advanced mode & click on the left the BHO's to delete
them (as I mentioned above). On the Browser Pages, double click the entries
that say 'http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157' & change them back
to something else for now

In your TEMP folder (C:\Users\haroonie\AppData\Local\Temp), delete all items
because there is a suspicious executable in there

Why are you running Spybot, Spy Doctor & Windows Defender? Yes, the latter
is built into Vista.

If I counted correctly you have 4 missing services

You can safely remove Quicktime from startup (Oon HijackThis), Spyware
Doctor, plus all the Google rubbish too. Then you can safely delete O8 & all
O9's

Please clean the things I have mentioned above then create a report (Spybot
& HijackThis) & add them (as an attachment) to your reply

Another thing I have notices is that you have many svchost's, but I cannot
say that they are suspicious without studying them

Good luck,

Thank you for your help and tips..

Here are my published logs from hijackthis and spybot. I am using
google groups and i dont think there is an option to attach a file.

I am using Vista's firewall, I have not found a firewall program for
Vista I am content with using... (waiting for vista version of ZA or
Kerio).

I am not running defender it was disabled. I ran one after another, a
tip from someone else... spy doctor detected some spyware and got rid
of it when spybot and ad aware couldn't.

?which.

Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated. The problem has
seemingly dissappeared after restart... Do you see anything else I can
do to clean my system further or and other tips?

Thanks.

Haroonie,

Sorry for taking some time to look through your logs

The Hijack log is almost 100% perfect now & wouldn't bother with any other
changes to it

The other log isn't that bad either except I see two dodgy applications on
there:

1) Torrent
2) Trillian
-----------------------
Limewire is better but never download anything that is 197 Kb or 857 kb
because all are file sharing viruses. Did you buy this pro version? )

One of these is probably going to be your downfall.

Nice to see you have C++ installed too

Another thing I have noticed is you have RealVNC. If you have the server
installed make sure that you have a secure password or disable the service
when its unneeded.

Not sure about this Collectorz.com stuff. Did you have to install a
downloaded program files app when installing? For some reason this
application has adware written all over it, but that is just my opinion

Any more problems post back & I will be glad to help you further,
