Hijackthis log review

[amanoffewwords]

Hi Peeps,

I would appreciate if someone could have a quick scan of this hijackthis log (first time I'm running it). The only items I'm suspicious about are those bold - can't find definite answers about them in Google.

I have removed the obvious ones, ran adware, stinger and Norton AV (several instances of their respective enemies removed).

Charles,

muamgrd.exe is a variant of the AGOBOT/GAOBOT WORM

msupdate.exe is a CoolWebSearch parasite variant

huhatsb.exe could be malware with a randomly generated name.

Take Care,

Richard

[amanoffewwords]

Thanks Richard, all duly zapped.

Charles,

Do not forget to download and run:

CoolWebSearch Shredder

Take Care,

Richard

[amanoffewwords]

Thanks Richard x2.

Ran fdisk instead, 'twas much more effective.










...only joking....

Cheers

Charles,

That is the number 1 most effective solution.

Take Care,

I know Richard but the customer usually ends up looking like this all at the same time... as you well know...but I'm leaning towards that kind of solution - backup/fdisk/re-install/install/update AV + Firewall/sermon on keeping windows updated+not downloading dodgy stuff/call me again and I'll charge you twice as much/you've been warned

Charles,

You could always give the speech:

If you are going to be dumb, you have got to be tough!

But you will still probably get the same look from the customer though.

Take Care,

Richard
