hi everyone
i purchased ad-aware professional a while ago and have always been very contented with it! now i haven't used it for a while and reinstalled it today, due to many junk i must have on my PC.
now something strange happens everytime i run the program (smart or full system scan): after about 10 seconds a pop up box appears with a kind of countdown telling me that my comp is shutting down.
as far as i remember it is the same box that appears, when your PC is infected by the W32 trojan (had that problem some years ago, but my com should be clean now). it only happens when i run ad-aware, and i can't explain why??? how can the proggy cause that? what can i do?
it would be awesome to get some help form enybody!
thanks a bunch in advance!!

greetings from switzerland

like i said, this happend before, when my PC was infected.. but what does it have to do with ad-aware??

Well if this is simular to when your computer was infected, it probably wouldn't hurt to have a malware expert take a look at a fresh hjt log, to rule that out.

I am assuming that you have already used HiJack This since you were infected before but just in case, here are some instructions on posting your hjt log.

So I'd suggest to you to post a HiJack This log in the HiJack This forum section. http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showforum=36

Normally we suggest you to post a AAW log with the hjt log. But obviously you cannot since your computer shuts down in the middle of the scan.

So when you post your HJT log in the new thread, please explain your symptoms as well.

Start your own thread, stating what problem you are having in the subject line. If you know the name of what you are infected with.

Please be patient, as there are alot of hjt logs that need to be read, and not all of the ppl here who try to help, such as myself are trained in reading hjt logs. And you need someone trained in that, who is a malware removal expert to help you. They will get to your log as soon as they get a chance.

Here are some instructions on how to post your first hijack this log.

Download HijackThis.exe To your desk top.


Now Click start then my computer, then local disk Which is usually c:/
Now click file > new folder > name it hijackthis or hjt anything you like;)
You should get this.


Now right click on HijackThis.exe which you just downloaded.
It will look like this chose cut
Open the folder right click and chose paste.


After which you should get some thing like this.



Now start hijackthis. Do a system scan and save logfile, the saved the log file
will be in the folder you just created. Open the file click edit then select all click edit again then copy.
Return to the forum and start a new topic here then click edit then paste.

Now the fun begins. wink.gif

spookysonic,

Try this work-around from Ad_Astra: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?s...ic=2182&hl=
QUOTE
Hi

Can you try this please.

Click on Start and select Run. In the box that opens please type the text below:

shutdown -a

note the space between shutdown and -a

Do not click on OK yet, just leave the window open. Now run a scan with Ad-Aware, check you have the latest definitions file then let Ad-Aware scan as normal. When you get a message about system shutting down go to the run window we opened above and then click on the OK button. This will abort the shutdown command. Some malware items detect when something tries to remove them and shuts down the PC to stop them from being removed.

Ad-Aware should now run to completion, please remove the items found and try a fresh scan. If you still get issues with wanting to shutdown please post an update
