hey guys. I was recommended by a friend to come here cuzz he said you guys were the best.
But i'll just right into it. I'm no computer whizz. I'm an art student majoring in animation. So...my computer knowledge is pretty much face value. Messing with the inner workings scares me. So I thought I'd come here. But yeah. SO basically. a few months ago I found that I had a wonderful trojan. Mcafee found it and killed. I thought that was the end of it. Well. I was wrong. About a month later Another one popped up. Killed it too. It wasn't until recently that I got rid of Mcafee and changed over to AVG that i was told I had a TROJAN DOWNLOADER GENERIC7.rtw
But basically at random times A trojan will show up on my computer...and when that happens my firewall will be down, and older files i deleted months ago will be in my recycle bin again. But yeah. The only thing I'm worried about is that its written itself so deep that a system restore won't kill it.
well. here's the logs.

thanks for the help everyone.

forgive my missing words. I'm a bit frustrated with all this at the moment. lol

sorry to triple post...I know very well the forum manners of not posting to yourself in a row...but I figured since you all are busy helping others I'd pose a quick question since I can't edit my previous posts.
I was searching the forum for trojan downloader topics with similar problems like my own...and very few are ever actually replied to. Is a downloader something that can't be fixed? Am I screwed?

Please remove BitTorrent DNA using the instructions below. We do not clean logs that have P2P applications installed as this can cause reinfection during your cleaning.

Please refer to this topic:
/t204179-P2P_programs_we_ask_that_you_remove_first.html
(Don't put it back until after your cleaning is completed.)


P2P apps must be completely removed before we will help you.


Some P2P applications are as bad as trojans when it comes to removal. Here's what you do:

Check Add/Remove Programs again via Control Panel. If any BitTorrent DNA entry is still there, remove it.


Next...
Windows XP: If it's not in Add/Remove Programs, open Task Manager by right-clicking your desktop taskbar and selecting it. Choose the Processes tab. Look for the btdna.exe executable file. Highlight it by clicking on it once, then click the End Process button on the bottom right. You'll get a warning box but just turn it off anyway. Close Task Manager.


Run HijackThis. Do a System Scan Only. Put a checkmark beside this entry only, be sure all other windows are closed, then click the Fix Checked button.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [BitTorrent DNA] "C:\Program Files\DNA\btdna.exe"

Reboot your computer.

Next, do a system scan and save a logfile with HijackThis. Post the new log here.

thanks guys

Hi,

I see Viewpoint is installed..

Viewpoint is considered foistware instead of malware because it is installed without users approval, but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". You may like to read this article about the potential of this Viewpoint software here:
http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546

I suggest you remove the program now. Click on Start > Run... > and then paste the following into the "Open" field: "appwiz.cpl" and press OK. From within Add or Remove Programs uninstall the following if they exist: Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, and/or Viewpoint Media Player.

Next,
open HijackThis, click do a scan only and place a check next to the following entries:

R3 - URLSearchHook: AOLTBSearch Class - {EA756889-2338-43DB-8F07-D1CA6FB9C90D} - C:\Program Files\AOL\AOL Toolbar 2.0\aoltb.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE

Close all other windows and browsers, except HijackThis, en klik op Fix Checked. Close HijackThis.

It's hard to say how well its running. The computer has always run pretty well. There was one time months back where I noticed a slow down and discovered the trojan. But I would have to say that it feels like its getting better. But the main problem is that these trojans keep returning at random dates...and so do deleted files in my recycle bin. Like the defcon shortcut.
Again....I'll be leaving for chicago tommarow morning. so please dont delete this thread. I'll be back on saturday.

thanks again.
