The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Task Manager disabled, Winfixer trojan + others, HijackThis log

Asked by JillC in HijackThis Software

Tags: , , ,

There are constant "Windows Security Alert" dialog boxes telling me to download an anti spyware program and telling me that the computer is making unauthorised copies of the system. The Task Manager is disabled "by the Administrator" as is the Add/Remove Programs, System Restore and I guess everything else. I installed and ran Superantispyware and it identified Winfixer and SpyCrush among the 6,500+ nasties. While I told Superantispyware to remove these, as I could not disable System Restore, I think Winfixer is still there. I googled for Task Manager disabled and found a symantec help page which suggested this was a trojan called Vicsfram. Along with the instructions was a tool to restore the registry so that I could use Regedit. This actually worked. I removed the lines in the registry as indicated and now I get some unknown errors where the filenames and lots of little squares.
Some time ago someone tried to upgrade Trend Micro antivirus. They told the pc owner that this was fixed, but in fact it appears that it was not installed and Trend Micro shows up an out of date warning. It looks as if the last update was in August. When I first tried to install the upgrade, I got lots of weird error messages. After I ran Superantispyware and fiddled with the registry, I tried again with the Trend Micro installer. This time I got it to run, but it came up with a dialog box telling me that Windows needed to be updated. It's running XP sp1.
So I hooked up to the internet again, and tried to get to the Windows update link, only to find that it wouldn't/couldn't continue because of problems on the computer which needed to be solved first.
So, here I am - I cannot upgrade Trend Micro to do a full scan. I cannot upgrade Windows. I cannot seem to get anything to work.
I ran HijackThis and  analysed it in hijackthis.de and this the link (I think) http://www.hijackthis.de/logfiles/b78eebb48410c426bf38d887bfb53648.html

While I'm waiting for an answer from you, I think I have found an SP2 update file which I will try to run. In the meantime, just where should I start with this mess?Start Free Trial
