Text spammer virus?

Today I just received an annoying virus. It auto text spams into almost anything. It automatically sends random sayings such as "lol you retard" several times onto many programs whether it is everyone on my msn list, opening a browser and it will redirect to google and type it in, even if I log onto a game it will spam the message. In fact, while I was typing this message, it typed it at least 20 times. I've ran AVG free edition without finding it and adaware without any luck. What should I do? Post a hijackthis log? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply. After I posted I tried a few free virus/adware scanners without any luck as well as trying a system restore. I then used panda online scan and it seemed to have fixed my dreaded problem I'll post a log anyways to check if everything is clean now though.

Pandascan has probably found and deleted the files below, but FIX the entries and double-check the files are not present


2.
Close ALL Internet Explorer Windows, only have HijackThis running.
In HijackThis, tick the boxes for the below entries, then click on "Fix checked"

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft System Services] msmsgr.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft PCI Manager] mspci.exe

Also, when I was in local disk I found a text file named "pws" with all usernames and passwords from my computer =/ Does that mean I have a keylogger on my computer? I deleted the text file, but was it already sent to someone? What should I do?

Hi PeaTearGriffin

The log looks good now.
The pws.txt file may have been a log of passwords collected.
Immediately change all usernames and passwords for all sites you visit and for all users of the computer.

It is critical for your security you update at Microsoft to stop these exploits reoccuring.
Check with computer maker if it needs any patches, before installing XPSP2.

Also critical for your security, before updating at MS, download one of these firewalls ( disable XP firewall....only run one firewall at a time).....

Free Firewalls ( disable XP Firewall after installing any other firewall )
SYGATE: http://soho.sygate.com/free/default.php
ZONEALARM: http://www.zonelabs.com/

The firewall will ask for each program that tries to access internet, as the worms you had would have been doing....and also stop the same exploits accessing your computer,.......but you need to be aware that the firewall will ask to allow acces, it is up to you to allow/disallow programs. Trust only programs you use...ie: Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, AVG, ...make all other progs ask each time they need access.

As for a keylogger, it probaly will not show in HijackThis, ad-aware or Spybot, etc.
You can try a trial version of :
AntiKeylogger http://www.anti-keyloggers.com/
or
Who'sWatchingMe http://www.trapware.com/index.html

Cheers

Ok, I'll work on the firewall today.

Hmm, I couldn't get antikeylogger to work. I tried the other one though and it couldn't find anything. I was told there is no point in changing my passwords if I cannot find the keylogger since it will just log all my new passwords?

Hi PeaTearGriffin

I`m not sure if a keylogger is on board, but please change passwords, especially any bank sites,etc....and for logon to computer.
The worms you had were also backdoors and they collect info/passwords for access.( but mainly for access to your computer).

Dont forget MS updates.

Cheers
