Known Spyware Components in HJT Logs

by  THoey  Posted    (Edited  )
I have just got serious about trying to help with these logs. Besides the help I have received from many Guru's at this site and at the security forum at http://forums.techguy.org/ , there is just a lot of information to look at and try to decide what is malicious and what isn't.

But, from varying sources, I have found several sites that help me look at these logs and decide what needs to go or what might just be a resource hog:

http://sysinfo.org/bhoinfo.html - For those interested, Merijn Bellekom, the developer of the brilliant Startuplist and Hijack This! has introduced BHOList.exe. It downloads and displays the BHO Collection in a searchable & sortable list.

http://www.sysinfo.org/bholist.php - List of all known CLSID's ( that ugly long string like "{00000000-0002-53D4-0622-35EA0235778E}" usually in the O16 area. Status of X is bad, O is questionable, L is ok.

http://www.kephyr.com/filedb/index.php - Let's you research file names.

http://www.windowsstartup.com/wso/search.php - Let's you research file names. I like this search better.

Not to mention Google... There are also lots of other forums handling HJT logs. Between this site and http://forums.techguy.org/ , I usually find someone has already seen the baddies that are out there.

Just thought I would share...
