Some people have asked me to do this, Heres a short guide if you want to try and Fix your HijackThis Log yourself. A list of programs and websites to help you clean your log.

First I use Hijack This tutorial.

http://computercops.biz/HijackThis.html

To check the top part of the log I type in the file name on this website. It has a search function.

http://www.processlibrary.com/

If there is a file in question just type it into the search function and it will tell you if its good or bad. If no results are found check dogpile or google search engines and find info on those files. If they dont find anything usually its bad.

For R1,R0,014 etc If they are homepage, Internet provider, email they should be ok. If not I delete them.

R3s are usually always bad.

01s usually always bad

02s and 03s i use this website to check the CLSID number.

example of CLSID Number
0B53EAC3-8D69-4b9e-9B19-A37C9A5676A7

http://computercops.biz/CLSID.html

If they are not on the list I use Dogpile or Google to see what other boards are doing with them. If I still cant find any info I'll usually delete it.

04s I use the program start_ups.exe to find if they are good or bad. It has a search function. If its not listed on here use Google or Dogpile. Here is the website where you can download this program.

http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php

scroll down a ways its near the bottom.

05 06 07 dont see these much. follow tutorial if needed

08 09 if you dont recognize it check dogpile or google.

010 LSPs. Need to be careful with these sometimes. Here is a few websites to check out.

O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\aklsp.dll
O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\calsp.dll
O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\dolsp.dll

http://computercops.biz/LSPs.html
This website will tell you if the file is good or bad.

http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
This website is where you download LSP_Fix

Only delete files with LSPFIX if they are bad (Check first website) If they are good or not on the list leave them alone.

010 - Hijacked Internet access by New.Net
http://www.newdotnet.com/removal.html
this is bad, follow directions on this website.

011 dont see these much follow tutorial
012 usually ok. plugins etc
013s usually bad unless its a website you are familiar with

014 same as R1s if you recognize its ok if not usually bad,

015 usually bad, I usually automaticallly fix these. Can be exceptions though.

016 these take alot of time to check. SpywareBlaster has a search function. (Right click then click find, type in CLSID number) If SpywareBlaster finds it its always bad.

If it doesnt find it use dogpile or google, Type in CLSID number. SpywareBlaster will also work on 02,03,09s anything with a CLSID number.

017,018 These are sometimes hard to figure out if they are good or bad. Sometimes I wait and see how the computers are running before I delete these. But sometimes I can tell if they are bad. Follow tutorial on these.

Another thing on 017s I use this website to check the IP numbers. If they have no info on the number in question I usually delete it.
http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation

019, 020 , 021, 022 follow tutorial

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: l7bc916zop39ud.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll .dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.d ll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll .dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.d ll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll

If you have a 020 with a dll string like the one above its bad. These can be hard to remove.If the dll string gets too long(like the one above) it can shut your computer down. HijackThis can shorten these sometimes. Trend Micro also has been known to kill this. If you can get the dll string down to one renaming the file can kill it in most cases.

l7bc916zop39ud.dll rename to anything.txt or anything.old then delete, empty recycle bin and reboot.

dll string has to be down to one

023 most of the time these are ok, may see some with missing files i usually delete. If it looks strange check dogpile or google.

If there are any questions feel free to ask them here. Please no Logs here.Questions or more info only........Jim :vivi

This helps,
but I have mentioned before..

1. LOOK to your self, and your system...
KILL those ODD little tacks you have added from the net FIRST...about 80% of those are adding this "STUFF".
And it aint there fault, MOSt times...

TOOL BARS...OFF
Google sends out adverts to pay for there service..If someone, submits an advert, and its infected....
SO ARE "YOU................
WEATHER BUG, adds its OWN popups...
ALEXA..VERY BAD...
STOCK tickers...
WEB monitors...
Even yahoo games adds there own, called WILD TANGENT...

IF you dont KNOW it, REMOVE it...see what happens... If you have a disk, you can get it back..But killing the program that GAVE the infection dont kill the infection..ITs probably still there.
YOU can remove 90% of this stuff.
START,
Control panel..
ADD/REMOVE programs..

2. GIFs, TIFs, FLASH, and the rest...You really dont want to know this...
But under WINDOWS...
Someone came up with the IDEA(MS probably) to add tags to them.. SMall programs can be ADDED to any and ALL of these...
So, you pop up a pic, or even a movie, and it INFECTS you, or it adds ADVERTS to the system...
This is a BASIC trojan effect..
Looks like a NICe program, and shows pretty pics, and STEALS your data..

3. LEARN to watch your displays..
If you CLICK on a site, READ where, you are going, and MAKE SURE you get there...and NOT sent to 1-64 other sites.

4. 56k over HIGH SPEED.
With 56k, you can TELL real QUICk if you are infected...OR even if they are TRYING to infect you...IT TAKES TIME..
Highspeed...can SUCK, as it takes less then 1 sec. to send a virus or infection. you dont notice the SLOW down until its REALLY bad..

OPTIONS...
START OVER, WIPE the drive, and ADD protection and updates FAST..This can take about 1 week of updates from Micro soft..
OR CLEAN it... this can be dangerous, hazardous and VERY complicated..They make these things faster then we can FIX them... WE even go to there sites, and TRY to find the HOME setup and complain...And they give us the fix.
But this WONT happen to the 3 worst ones...And they are MEAN...they HIDE, and camoflage themselves..and it can take MAJOR work to find and kill the HOLE thing so it dont come back.

YES we have tools...
And they work fairly well. but I dont think ANY of us are MAJOR MS(Microsoft/windows) persons. We do what we can..

Cleaning a system isnt easy, and it AINT fast.
DONT put ANYTHING on a computer that you want to KEEP...Those digital pics, GET THEM OFF.. If your computer "BITES the dust" and you LOOSE ALL of those holiday pics, its YOUR problem..

Good luck..
