Hi Deb, Let's see if we can find it, Download 'Hijack This!'. Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a reply.

HijackThis!

you need to scan your pc at www.housecall.antivirus.com

I have been hacked in the past and I am worried the same people are at it again!

Hi Deb, Could you please post the entire Hijack log, what you posted above is only a portion of it.

Hi Deb, I don't see any signs of a trojan but you have some nasty parasites that need removed. (Lop, FavoriteMan..etc)

Run HT again and check the following items. Doublecheck so as to be sure not to miss one.
Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT fix all checked.

You NEED to restart your computer when you're done.

Then install, update and run Spybot-S&D. Have Spybot remove all red entries.

THANKS!!!

Hi Nick,

First run an updated Spybot Search and Destroy ( http://security.kolla.de/ ) and fix all items in RED and reboot. (Spybot S&D should remove them all, except maybe the R1 & R3 entries) Then after closing all browser windows, fix the items listed below that are remaining using HijackThis and then reboot again.

For the future see: So how did I get infected in the first place? http://www.net-integration.net/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=38;t=3051

Four of the most recommended anti-spyware programs are SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard and Spybot S&D and Ad-aware. If you install all four programs, keep them updated, and scan with Spybot S&D and Ad-aware periodically, you will be fairly well-protected from spyware.

Thought I would mention that SpywareGuard includes a browser hijack stopper (Javacool calls it Browser Hijack Blaster) that protects your system from browser hijackers and spyware that alters your Internet Explorer settings.

Good Luck!

Well, I DID just as you said... still opening and closing and at times the computer freezes... HELP!!!

Well Nick according to your HijackThis logfile you are not even using an Anti-virus program. Why not?

One indicator of a Trojan is the computer doing unusual things such as opening and closing the CDROM drive or much of the hard drive being filled up by files unknown to the user.

Since Anti-virus program developers are not in the Trojan hunting business exclusively (though many do detect Trojans), it makes sense to also use an Anti-Trojan program.

Many choices of both types are availiable to you.

For Anti-Trojan programs I recommend either Trojanhunter (www.misec.net/) or TDS-3 (http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/) they both have a 30-day trial.

Oh and by the way there are many Free Online Virus Scans:

Panda ActiveScan http://www.pandasoftware.es/activescan/activescan-com.asp
Trend Micro Housecall http://housecall.antivirus.com/
Kaspersky Labs http://www.kaspersky.com/remoteviruschk.html
Symantec
http://security1.norton.com/ssc/home.asp?j=1&langid=us&venid=sym&plfid=23&pkj=OOMWORVWHFHMFNZMBBX
McAfee.com - FreeScan http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp
PC Pitstop http://www.pcpitstop.com/antivirus/AV.asp
BitDefender http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/Msie/index.php
RAV http://www.rav.ro/scan/

Ok... here is what I'm getting with Trojan Hunter... Port 5180/TCP is open (matches Peeper.120)...
Nothing else found...

Now what?

Thanks guys!

I have the same problem! I've narrowed it down to having absolutely nothing to do with the hard drive. My system has been scanned at least 50 times now and defragged followed by spybot and another defrag and norton. I got this CD burner from a friend of mine, it was doing it on her computer. I was thinking it might be Windows XP but I realized otherwise when I just restarted. Even during the POST, it was still, opening and closing. On my machine, and my friends. The only thing I can think of is something sending the open command to the cd drive, whether it be a stuck button, or something stored inside. I dont think CD drives have any kind of memory other than the buffer which is erased when power is killed anyway... I dont understand, it cant be a stuck button because it is a set period of time in which it opens and closes. Open... 2 seconds... close... 2 seconds... open... 2 seconds... close... 2 seconds, then once in a while it will come out of nowhere with a really sporadic burst of opening and closing, just jittering fiercely and then it stops... and the process starts again. Something is inside my CD drive, the IDE cable is removed, power is on, and it's doing it. There must be something inside.... gremlins?
