Think I have a RAT on my comp
#13
I do believe you are not infected. Any symptoms? We'll just fix some irregularities.
  • Step 5

    Besides compromising network security, their association with illegal file-sharing creates legal liabilities for their employers. More often than not, companies aren't aware of software license violations and other infractions their workers commit through file-sharing.

    More from 'this' article.

    I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Person to Person) File Sharing Programs on your computer. Your system is at risk. Even if you are using a safe P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.

    I strongly recommend that you uninstall the following program(s) present in your system through Add or Remove Programs for Windows XP and Programs and Features for Vista and Windows 7:
    • DNA
    • LimeWire 5.5.8

    Note: If you choose not to remove the program(s), please do not use them until this computer is clean.

    Here is the list of Safe and Unsafe P2P Programs.

    Clean
    • Ares
    • Azureus 2.5.0.0
    • BitComet
    • Bittorrent
    • E-Mule
    • Frostwire
    • Limewire
    • µTorrent

    Unsafe
    • Azureus Vuze
    • BearShare
    • Bitlord
    • BittorrentUltra
    • iMesh

    You can see more of that 'here'.
  • Step 6

    Your current copy of Java Runtime Environment is outdated. Older versions contain vulnerabilities therefore it is essential that you update it.
    • To get the latest version of Java please go 'here'.
    • Go to 'Start' > 'Control Panel' > 'Add or Remove Programs'.
    • Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. You currently have:
      • Java™ 6 Update 13
      • Java™ SE Development Kit 6 Update 7
    • Choose 'Uninstall'.
    • Now install the version(s) you downloaded earlier.
  • Step 7

    Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware (click 'here' for more information) instead of malware since it is installed without users' approval but doesn't spy or do anything labeled as bad.

    This changed in 2006:

    "Viewpoint will develop a behavioral targeting product in 2006, execs said during the company's Q3 earnings call.

    It will work by collecting clickstream data on users who have installed the Viewpoint media player, then using that data to target ads and content on the company's partner sites. Viewpoint claims 120 million users have installed its player."


    More from 'this' article.

    Your HiJackThis log reveals that you have View Point Manger installed. You are well advised to remove the program now.
    • Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
    • Remove the following programs if present and then restart your computer:
      • Viewpoint
      • Viewpoint Manager
      • Viewpoint Media Player
  • Step 8

    Internet Explorer

    I ask that you do not disregard this step whether you are using Internet Explorer or not as your main browser. Please be advised that though you don't seem to be using this, I can assure you that most of your everyday applications uses this browser's technology to update thereby solidifying the necessity to update it.

    Please download the latest version (version 9.00) from 'here' and install it.
  • Step 9

    Please run HijackThis as Administrator. Click 'Do a system scan only' and place a check next to the following line(s) if present:

    O2 - BHO: AcroIEHelperStub - {18DF081C-E8AD-4283-A596-FA578C2EBDC3} - (no file)
    O3 - Toolbar: Bing Bar - {8dcb7100-df86-4384-8842-8fa844297b3f} - "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\BingExt.dll" (file missing)


    Then, close all other open windows and click 'Fix Checked'. You are to reboot your system afterwards.
