Hello everyone. Not to long ago I noticed there are two instances of iexplore.exe running even though I'm actually not running Internet Explorer. I've tried finishing the processes with no success.
I used both Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D and found anything.
Here's my HJT log for reference.

Welcome to CJ.

There are a few suspicious files we need to look at but I'm not sure this is malware or not. Plus a few more things to we can do now.

Open Hijackthis and select Do a system scan only.

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

Important: Close all windows except for Hijackthis and then click Fix checked.

Exit Hijackthis.

----------

You have Viewpoint installed.

Viewpoint Media Player/Manager/Toolbar is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad".

More information:It is suggested to remove the program now.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.
  • Viewpoint
  • Viewpoint Manager
  • Viewpoint Media Player
  • Viewpoint Toolbar
  • Viewpoint Experience Technology
If you have trouble removing Viewpoint, I suggest that you use ViewpointKiller

Once you have downloaded ViewpointKiller, unzip it to a convenient location such as your desktop.
Run ViewpointKiller, and select File > Do All Killings
Follow the prompts, selecting Yes or No, depending on which selection you are most comfortable with.
A logfile will be created in the folder you unzipped ViewpointKiller to, please paste the contents here.

----------

Your Java is out of date.

Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to infect your system.

First install the new Sun Java Runtime Environment

Remove the old version(s)
  • Go to add/remove programs and uninstall all old versions.
  • Be sure not to remove the new version that was just installed.
  • Download JavaRaand unzip the file to your Desktop.
  • Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
  • Once complete exit JavaRA and delete the program.
  • Run CCleaner.
----------

Can you tell me what these are?

C:\WINDOWS\system32\PrintDisp.exe

C:\DOCUME~1\IBM\DATOSD~1\JUMPTH~1\PARTMEETOKAY.exe

If you don't know what they are then do the following.

Scan Suspicious File(s)

Visit Virustotal
(If more than one file needs scanned they must be done separately and logs posted for each one)
  • Copy the file path in the below Code box:
Code:
C:\DOCUME~1\IBM\DATOSD~1\JUMPTH~1\PARTMEETOKAY.exe
  • At the upload site, click once inside the window next to Browse.
  • Press Ctrl+V on the keyboard (both at the same time) to paste the file path in the window.
  • Next click Send File
    • Your file will possibly be entered into a queue which normally takes less than a minute to clear.
  • This will perform a scan across multiple different virus scanning engines.
  • Important: Wait for all of the scanning engines to complete.
  • Copy and then Paste the link to the results in the next reply.
Do the same for this file (if you don't know what it is)

Code:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\PrintDisp.exe
