Checking my computer for any security issues...

[refridginator]

A little while back, a family member from out of town brought her laptop to my house and i tried sharing my wireless internet connection with her, but didnt get it to work. so due to my limited knowledge i had to make her use my computer so she could do what she needed.

Now i recall trying to setup a LAN and making so many changes that i just couldnt keep up with. right now, im just checking for any suspicious connections that might need looking at. as for the modified connections, help is always appreciated, but i think im just removing the network altogether and restoring my default settings, id be much more comfortable starting from scratch than having to look everywhere for something that i wouldnt even know that looks out of place.

So, i made a hijack this log. i know theres a couple of things here that look suspicious to me, but then again there are other folks who use this computer and install things that i dont know about. but here it is:

You have a bit that needs to be fixed and you may have more hiding...

Please open a HJT scan and put checks by:

O16 - DPF: {DECEAAA2-370A-49BB-9362-68C3A58DDC62} (SAIX) - http://static.zangocash.com/cab/Zang...3cafd35fff1431

These are associated with malware, but are not clearly bad... I suggest fixing them to be safe...

Close all open windows except HJT and press Fix checked...

You are running an outdated version of Java and that leaves you vulnerable, I suggest updating that...

You are apparently using AOL and some people are now referring to that as "badware", but it is technically legit...

To see if there is more in hiding, please do this...

1. Download this file - combofix.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/combofix.exe)
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.

Reboot and post a fresh HJT log with the ComboFix log...

[refridginator]

okay, ive checked all that, and so far the java says its up to date. i went to java.com(unless i shouldve went to javasun) and installed jre update 6 or 7, then verified and the site said the version shown up on the log (1.5.0_06) was up to date.

and here are my log reports:

Your Java is not up to date. The Java Updater is notorious for not actually showing a new version is available.
Do delete the old versions.

You can find Java 5 Runtime Environment Update 8 here:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

[Budfred]

It looks like you decided to fix StarWare316 so you need to look in Add or Remove Programs to see if you can find it there and uninstall it... If not, find this folder and delete it:

C:\Program Files\Starware316

Other than that and getting version 8 of Java, it looks okay... Are you having any problems??

[refridginator]

okay i found the latest version of java and got rid of starware(uninstaller was in add/remove programs)

and nope, no problems from what i see.

thanks to you both for the feedback. i appreciate the help. even though i still have some work to do with clutter and unused files, everything looks good ATM.

[Budfred]

Thanks for letting us know...

Here is my prevention speech to help avoid future infection:

This is a good time to set up protection against further attacks. Read the article linked below about "How did I
get infected". You need an antivirus that is updated, a good firewall (a router firewall is not enough) and a
spyware blocker like SpywareBlaster and also IE-Spyads. All of these have good free versions available... be very
cautious about any security software that advertises in popups or other intrusive ways, they are not only usually
useless, but also often have malware in them....

[refridginator]

thank you bud, i will have to keep an eye out for your replies to any other topic that might be dealing with a problem i might have ;)

not only that, but now i figure i can use that link to help provide some guidelines for the other users on this pc for the internet. even though problems rarely occur, like these occasional additional search toolbars being installed(which i dont install willfully), my computer doesnt have security problems(thanks to stop-sign, which i have my faith in for the most part. i feel whatever gets through is my fault.)

but yea, im intending to fix those network settings ASAP to prevent whatever i can.
