Hi 3000DEG,
You may want to review the steps listed in the How To Troubleshoot a Suspected Malware Infection announcement if you think your system is infected. Also, do you have Norton 360 v2 on your system, or some other Norton product? Thanks!
Thanks for the reply, Anyway i found out that the system runs some TomTom software which turned out to be the HOMERunner.exe but strange things are still happening to the system. Sometimes within moments of connecting to the net the attacks start. I think that i have the standard Norton Antivirus 2008 and it is doing a good job of blocking these hits. Most of them are buffer over run attacks or some such but it is almost like they target the pc. We remove tracking cookies daily with Norton but these hits still find the machine. I will read the link you posted to me and try anything that it suggest and let you know how it goes. Just a question, am i posting in the right forum here? Our isp told us that the wireless usb modem couldnt be tracked for network activity so it must be something in the pc’s
You should be able to determine the Norton product name by clicking the Start Menu and looking for the product name. When you launch the product and click Help & Support > About, this will tell you the version. Please let us know both the product name and version. Thanks!
I have determined that the product i have is Norton Antivirus 2008 and i think the version number is 15.5.0.23 but i will check that number again when i get back to that pc.
Well thanks to the informative finding Malicious software tutorial and some intuative guess work i have indeed discovered known virus's and or varients on the affected machines that have gotten past my norton product and even still avoid detection from scans. I thought that they were tricky when the Norton Antivirus History logs were changed. I dont fully understand how they hopped machines and got through 2 other acclaimed virus protection programs but i can tell you that some of the created file names were based on other programs install files, soundmax and Nvidia to be exact, then they altered my startup and registry keys. One of the main viruses is a rundll.exe and all my startup programs are now gone and have been replaced with virus software i think. I can probably remove the known infections and associated registry entries but i think that there is still something that is undetected. On another machine the virus is looking for rundll.exe but cant find it. Also it turns off windows automatic updates. I think that the over run attacks that Norton keeps blocking are attempts by the attacker to retrieve information from the machine. It is dificult to quarantine files that are not detectable. I have scanned in safe mode several times but found no threats except reappearing tracking cookies with a low threat rating. I will try to catalog the chain of events that led to this. How do you recommend i go about removing the known threats and the ones that i cant find. I will also delete everything in the java folders just to eliminate that possibility. Thanks.
