HijackThis log... please help

My computer has been acting very fishy lately.. it seems to lock up for like 30 seconds at a time, where when i click on anything, it just ignores it, or even changes the focus away from what im clicking on. The cpu and HDD usage are idle while its doing this, and for some reason, the keyboard input seems to work fine (no, it isn't my mouse thats messed up).. heres my hijackthis log:

thanks so much for helping, i really appreciate it.

 

In my opinion there is nothing suspicious in this log. This happend to me, in my case the problem was the hair of my cat, messing up with the laser/LED.

 

it does the same **** no matter which mouse i use, unfortunately

 

Do you know when it started happening? It doesn't look like there's anything real suspicious in that log. Have you tried scanning with AVG and AdAware? If it were me, I'd say reformat and start clean. Does this happen in Safe Mode? If not, try disabling some startup items/services to see what is causing it.

 

Why is Vista highlighted? the truth is coming out.


P.S: Did u install Vista sp1 via Windows update or Manual install?

 

Vista is highlighted because it is a auto-link from NBR.

 

Remove this entry:
O23 - Service: Symantec Lic NetConnect service (CLTNetCnService) - Unknown owner - c:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccSvcHst.exe (file missing)

Close enough to malware for me.

 

Words fail me

Also, your Vista is also highlighted!!!


Also, I don't think the Symantec file is the problem in this case, it seems to be a fairly common phenomena. Try fixing instead of deleting it I guess?

 

I'd be suspicious of O13 - Gopher Prefix.

 

Ran the log through a couple online HijackThis analyzers and they flagged these as dangerous or questionable:

O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [Launcher] %WINDIR%\SMINST\launcher.exe

(The first one popped up as questionable)

O13 - Gopher Prefix: Dangerous This item adds a prefix "Gopher Prefix:" for every URL address you enter in the IE and redirects you to wrong address. Fix this item.

O18 - Protocol: skype4com - {FFC8B962-9B40-4DFF-9458-1830C7DD7F5D} - C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\Skype\SKYPE4~1.DLL Questionable It may be a trace of dangerous protocol hijacker or a legitimate item. Make some research about the name "skype4com" and file "C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\Skype\SKYPE4~1.DLL".

O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-19\..\Run: [Sidebar] %ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\Sidebar.exe /detectMem (User 'LOCAL SERVICE') Questionable Questionable item according to inner database
File launcher.exe is related to various programs, including legitimate and malicious. So it is very...

O1 - Hosts: ::1 localhost Questionable Do you want an URL address "localhost" to be redirected to "::1" when you type it? If not, then fix this



Remember that HijackThis doesn't catch everything. It's best to also run the typical scans.

 

According to this the launcher.exe is a backdoor/trojan but I have my doubts of how reliable is this site&info.

 

launcher.exe is not necessarily malware. On some computers, it could be used for launching programs from keyboard hotkeys.

 

Pls check that any svchost.exe is NOT UNDER your username.

All svchost.exe should be under Username 'System'
