Hi, I'm kind of new to all of this. I just found this site while I was using google to look up some things in my task manager. Long story short, I ran that HijackThis thing, and it left me with a really long list. I'm trying to clean my computer up from my ex boyfriend who liked to download everything...now my computer is SO slow. If you can help please let me know. Thanks, Katrina

Hi Katrina,

Try these first, or at least 1 AntiVirus, and Spybot & Adaware:

Anti-Virus
[on-line] BitDefender Anti-Virus
[on-line] RAV Anti-Virus (AV Security)
[on-line] ActiveScan Anti-Virus (Panda)
[on-line] HouseCall Anti-Virus (Trend Micro)
nod32 Anti-Virus (eset)
F-Prot Anti-Virus (F-Secure)
AVG Anti-Virus (Grisoft)

Anti-Spyware
Spybot Search & Destroy (Safer Networking)
Ad-aware (Lavasoft)
CWShredder (Merijn.org)
TDS-3 (DiamondCS)
Pest Patrol
[on-line] TrojanScan (GFi)
Keep in mind that some of them may need to be updated over the web first when started, and before zapping the baddies!

And then make another HijackThis log, and post it here. You'll get a warning about posting such logs, but just ignore it.

With respect svg there is a forum devoted exclusively to Hijack logs. Would it not be better for the poster to go there and compare the problems of other posters?

You're right, XPose.

However, why ask someone to double-post? I might as well build on it here, instead of waiting for the post to appear on the Security & Virus forum. Damage done, so to speak :)

I set up a user account for my wife with no Admin. Priv. She would get on Kazaa and download anything she was remotely interested in! The first time I ran a Spybot, I had 425 finds.....so now she's limited ...... my you should do the same.

Okay well thanks y'all for all of your help. yeah i know, he would do it while i was at work, i'd come home and there would be all sorts of new stuff on my computer...he thought he was some kind of hacker or something, but really knew nothing. anyway, i ran that bit anti virus, and that spybot, and i also ran ad aware that i already had on my computer. I just ran the hijackthis again and here's what i have left.

▫ Absolutely no result found whatsoever - which makes it highly suspicious, because it's supposed to be a toolbar. Do you use the account User ? If you don't, then I would say: get rid of the account & its contents (maybe check it out first, though).

▫ Unknown - but suspicious to me. Sounds like adware of some sort.

▫ Probably OKAY, but I'm not 100% sure.

Okay, as you may have noticed, most of the stuff will be removed by Spybot & Adaware.
For binet, there's a manual removal procedure at Norton's website.

Adware.binet (Norton Symantec)
Spybot Search & Destroy (Safer Networking)
Ad-aware (Lavasoft)
CWShredder (Merijn.org)
Don't forget Spybot & Adaware need to be updated over the web first, before zapping the baddies!

pckiastkdr.dll is probably related to LOP.com, but I'm not sure.

After zapping them, create another HijackThis log, and post that one on the Security & Virus forum, as suggested by XPose earlier. Be sure to give them the URL-address for this post (just copy/paste it), so they know what you've already done.
