problems with trojan.skintrim

edna_clouds

Ran hijack this again - The three skimtrim things are still showing on noadware. I tell them to delete - if I run another scan without closing down laptop, it does not detect anything, if I close down - they come back

[FONT=&quot]the noadware says the following are infected:

I see you have avg antispyware installed - have you updated and run this?

Browntoa

after a couple of us looking at the log we have come to the conclusion that it's a "false positive" by Noadware, possibly to get you to buy the full or upgraded version. There are NO signs of infection in the hijackthis log

edna_clouds

Thanks Browntoa

If noadware is giving false positives, is it worth keeping it on my computer?

Browntoa

not really, stick with the old favourites

Spybot
Adaware (Lavasoft)
AVG Antispyware

edna_clouds

What about spyware doctor - we purchased this but have had problems running it on the laptop so removed it.

skiddy2k

they're only minor registry entries, they wont do anything malicious, but if you want to delete it, try the following:
click start>search>files or folders
select "all files and folders" and in the box titled "a word or phrase in the file", type in [FONT=&quot]outlookaddin.addinRegkey[/FONT] and click "search"
if it finds any files titled "run" or "autorun", delete it.
If it finds other files, post here what it finds

I discussed this breifly with Browntoa and at first thought it was an FP but looking back on the replies from edna, it would appear the detections WERE present in the registry when performing a manual search. The issue here I think is more of what is blocking their removal rather than how harmful they are. Anti-spyware programs can often prevent changes to the registry and I've just noticed edna has the new version of Ad-Aware 7 installed. If I'm not mistaken this version of the program includes Ad-Watch which is a feature of Ad-Aware that monitors and blocks unauthorised changes to the registry. In the past this feature was notorious for preventing any changes to the registry even when done in Safe Mode.

I believe Ad-Watch in Ad-Aware 7 runs as a service:

O23 - Service: Ad-Aware 2007 Service (aawservice) - Lavasoft AB - C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware Pro\aawservice.exe

Something worth trying is temporarily disabling this service.

Go to Start > Run and type services.msc

When the Services window appears, scroll down to Ad-Aware 2007 Service (aawservice) and click STOP. Change the "Startup type" to disabled.

Close the services window and scan again with Noadware. Let Noadware remove the entries and reboot. Scan again with Noadware.

Still detecting?

Thanks Alfonso

Just done what you said and rescaned. Noadware found the three things again - deleted them - rescanned and nothing showed. Shut down and restarted computer - rescanned and they are back.
