asked on

dc1.exe, dc2.exe

Hmm well there seems to be alot, i guess ill start with what i noticed? then give you the hijackthis log.

As of now, nortan is recognizing dc1.exe and dc2.exe in C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1123561945-963894560-839522115-500\
I have XP prof.

I took it upon myself to clean something hijackthis found as start page _bak or soemthin, well it was listed as squire i believe which i recognized as spyware. other than that i didnt touch any of the other keys.

a while back i had problems with squire maybe and some other sutff that seems to have just disappeared, recently my wireless connection has been behaving strangely, even sending my aim conversations to the computer downstaires so i figured i may have a corrupt trojan horse or something. I ran nortan 2004 and it got rid of some files which seems to have fixed my connetion now maybe, which was oscillating terribly.

ya those were the ones i was gonna hit, im sure that fixed somehting but the dc1.exe and dc2.exe are still there, nortan calls them adware.bargainbuddy and adware.commonname, respectively, but the guides offer no help on removing them:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/cgi-bin/virauto.cgi?vid=39454

Removing this

should take care of your problem.

HT log file looks clean. :)  Need anymore help?  If problem is solved, will you accept my comment as the answer?
dc1.exe and dc2.exe are still there
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1123561945-963894560-839522115-500\
dc1.exe is associated with a downloader program.  Follow the instruction here to get rid of it

http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/B/Backweb.asp
none of those files were found

backwebserv.exe
dc1.exe
dc10.hlp
dc6.r
Iadhide3.dll
DLGLI.EXE
\program files\BackWeb\

nor are any of the listed processes running in task manager, the only time  i see dc1 and 2 is when i run norton full system scan
Are they located in the System Restore files? If they are, you can disable System Restore, then re-enable, thus deleting the old restore files.

Run Housecall anti-virus scan. This scanner will delete the files.

http://housecall.antivirus.com
i already disabled system restore, on all drives, and i ran housecall afterwards ealier
If you only disable system restore, then the old files are still on your computer.  Re-enable system restore so that the new files will write over the old.
house call didnt ifnd naything but nortan still got them, "The file C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1123561945-963894560-839522115-500\Dc1.exe is a Adware threat."
The folder Recycler is the NTFS equivalent of the "Recycled" folder on fat 32. The correct size of this folder is about 85 bytes! You can safely delete this folder - the next time you put something in the Recycle Bin and empty it, the folder will be re-created.

Are you using Norton's protected files or something like that?  Unprotect the fles and then you can delete it.
um norton by default had some "norton protected recylcing bin", but i set it as standard recyling bin. Under options, then adavnced tools, their are options for the recyling bin.  When i go to 'modify', theres a tab called "Norton Protection", heading: Protects files deleted from teh command line prompt, and applications until the disk space is needed for other files. Protection is enabled on both my drives: C and Z, and theres a 7 day purge. There are three "system settings": Exclusings, Empty protected files, and Drive usage

still there :(
im gonna try running nortan in xp safe mode
on safe mode norton didnt even find the files
theyre apparently gone now, who knows?

I have another question though, cuz my dad's computer has like 2 worms and 10s of thousands of infected files, do i make another post? i dont htink i have any points
Looks like rebooting the computer with one of the solutions that I proposed fixed the problem.

On your Dad's computer, run the anti-virus and adware scanner that I had proposed. I will summarized them here

Housecall Online Scan
http://housecall.antivirus.com
or
Symantec Security Check
http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym

well i have the hijackthis log if thats ok to post here

what the basic deal was everything was disabled: task manager, regedit, msconfig, etc
so i dled the tril of rav and ran that, and it foudn two womrs i believe, big mac and supernova? i couldnt get rid of them cuz they were running, so i used hijackthis and cleaned a reg key for 'big mac'. Then rav found an executable, fpdd[more random lowercase].exe, and hijacker listed it as something like 'HKLM\..\Run: [Nortan Antivirus] fpdd[more random lowercase].exe', so i told it to clean that key and i ran procexp.exe to close the program, since task manager was disabled. That seemed to fix the problem of the disabled windows functions, so i rebooted in safe mode and ran rav. I think it got everything but theres still some .elm or .eml? files i cant get rid of that i thought may just be corrupt, and some things on the log look suspicious. So tell me if you notice anything odd? thanks

Analyzing a HijackThis log takes a lot of time.  Please ask this in another question.
i dont have any points
I will analyze the log for free, since this is Christmas.

Go to Control Panel > Add Remove Programs and remove "Search Toolbar"

Check these items in HijackThis log and have HT remove them.
