[INACTIVE]My Trendmicro Hijack This Log HELP!!!

[butterfly_needs_help]

Hi I need help determining which items are good & which are bad?

I have been hit with some Trojans & I believe I have been browser hijacked. I cannot go to some websites (i.e. hotmail sign in page) or when I go to Microsoft and try to download their removal tool my Internet Explorer says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". And talk about sluggish & webpages items moved around the page!  And I know my internet connection is working. Help me please, thanks in advance!

Looks like I may be able to get the ATF cleaner from snapfiles, but not sure if I can download it or not, haven't tried. I wasn't sure if I should or not.

[butterfly_needs_help]

I used CCleaner (I forgot it came with the comp) and somehow I managed to download SDFix, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, which was a miracle its self!!! I don't think I ever got to download RSit though. But, my homepages once again are normal & I am able to access any site I wish now!! YAY!!  ;D

I Thank you for your time & your help! It's appreciated oodles!

[Maurice Naggar]

Hello,

If you ran SDFIX, I'd like for you to reply with a copy of Report.txt. Likewise, I do hope you ran MBAM. I'd like to have you post a copy of the MBAM log.

I'd like for you to do this:  Scan the system with the Kaspersky Online Scanner
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Attention: Kaspersky Online Scanner 7.0 may not run successfully while another antivirus program is running. If you have Anti-Virus software installed, please temporarily disable your AV protection before running the Kaspersky Online Scanner. Reenable it after the scan is finished.

During this run, make sure your browser does not block popup windows.  Have patience while some screens populate.

1) Click the Kapersky Online Scanner button.  You'll see a popup window.
2) Accept the agreement
3) Accept the installation of the required ActiveX object ( XP SP2-SP3 will show this in the Information Bar )
4) For XP SP2-SP3, click the Install button when prompted
5) The necessary files will be downloaded and installed. Please have plenty of patience.
6) After Kaspersky AntiVirus Database is updated,  look at the Scan box.
7) Click the My Computer line
8 ) Be infinetely patient, the scan is comprehensive and, unlike other online antivirus scanners, will detect all malwares

9) When the scan is completed there will be an option to Save report as a .txt file. Click that button. Copy and paste the report into your reply.
Re-enable your antivirus program.
Kapersky Online Scanner can be uninstalled later on from Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, if desired.

Run a new HijackThis Scan & Save.

Post back with copies of the HJT report, and the Kaspersky.txt report.
How is your system now  :?:

Do not be alarmed if Kaspersky tags items that are already in quarantine by other programs.
Kaspersky is a report only and does not remove files.
