Hello, visitor!

The Hijack This log analyzer has analyzed your log. Please take a closer look on the results.

Your system seems to be infected with malicious parasites. Please follow the steps below in order to eliminate the infection and clean up your computer.

1.   Download the Pocket KillBox utility. You will need it later to delete parasite-related files and folders.
2. The following entries are not malicious, but some of them are not used anymore. You may use HijackThis to fix a few of them. However, please keep in mind that some of the entries marked as Questionable or Not Needed are fully legitimate and might be required by installed software to work properly, while some others might be related to certain parasites. It is up to you to decide whether you need any of them, or not.

After going through all the steps, run another HijackThis scan and post a fresh log to the HijackThis analyzer. It is possible that some parasites your system was infected with were not removed completely and may restore themselves later.

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. The following entries should be fixed:

Download CCleaner and scan your registry. It should be able to find this problem and fix it. http://www.ccleaner.com/download
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555

Windows Hosts file is modified. The following line were added. Go to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. Open HOSTS file with notepad and remove these lines: (and other similar lines if exist)
O1 - Hosts: 94.232.248.66 browser-security.microsoft.com
O1 - Hosts: 94.232.248.66 antivguardian.com
O1 - Hosts: 94.232.248.66 www.antivguardian.com

Fix these entries with HijackThis:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: Viewpoint Toolbar BHO - {A7327C09-B521-4EDB-8509-7D2660C9EC98} - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Toolbar\3.9.0\ViewBarBHO.dll
O8 - Extra context menu item: &AIM Toolbar Search - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AIM Toolbar\ieToolbar\resources\en-US\local\search.html

Also make sure that proxy settings in your web browser were not affected.

Good luck!

i was able to delete the files using hijack this. ask for step one, i used cleaner and scanned the registry and it does not display the file u listed. the second step up fixing the file host is uncharted territory for me, if you could point to a guide somewhere so i don't delete the wrong thing . thanks

The original HOSTS file should be as shown below:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1          localhost
-----------------------
Everything below this line should be removed unless you added some entries yourself and know what those entries mean.
More infor about how to use Hosts file:
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/how_to_use_hosts.html

Good luck!
