Hello-

This afternoon I signed into my MySpace account and happened to notice that my page had been completely erased. When you looked at my page, it appeared as the "edit profile" screen found only after logging in. I have no idea how they did this but I had to delete my account. I've been fighting an uphill battle with these infections for a few days now and things aren't looking good... to make it worse, i can't find a good anti spyware program. most of them will detect for you, but not remove. I noticed quite a few "svchost" files and other such menaces but can't get them off. I've done all the pre-work, so here are my Hijack this, AVG, and Panda ActiveScan reports. I know you're very busy but please help A.S.A.P.

Thank you much,
Alec

Well done for posting your prework! Im sure the security team will be along soon to help you. For anti-spyware i recommend spybot search and destroy combined with the use of adaware.

Before the Security Team get on the case for you, why not download this: ewido - anti-spyware and anti-malware solutions and run it - it will allow you to clean all of the infections that IT finds.

thanks for the recommendation. i did in fact use ewidow (who merged with avg) and posted the report under "AVG report" in this post. it found and cleared about 67 tracking cookies. but there is still plenty more to be done, aparrently.

thanks again

Hi.

I notice you have McAfee on your computer, but the installation seems corrupted/partly-removed to me.

Have you contacted MySpace about the problem you mentioned? It appears more to be as an issue on their part, or maybe even a browser problem.


These fixes can be gotten rid of by now...navigate to and delete the following file/folder:
C:\VundoFix Backups\
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Process.exe

As for the cookies, you can get rid of them using ATF Cleaner:
Download ATF Cleaner

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
• Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
• Click the Empty Selected button.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.


Otherwise your logs look clean...
It's normal to have several instances of svchost.exe running in your system.

thanks a lot. i really appreciate the clarification.
