noise.dat and unknown accounts
Hello -
I was looking at the logs of my spy/mal ware program (CounterSpy), and have noticed that every scan has some errors - the ones I am worried about are: c:\windows\system32\noise.dat and c:\windows\syswow64\noise.dat - the error msg is that it is a corrupt object. The other 3 are: c:\users\Home\ntuser.dat (the log states it could not be accessed because it was in use by another process - which is the same message for: c:\users\Home\ntuser.dat.LOG1 and: c:\windows\SYSWOW64.log.txt
I googled noise.dat, and from what I was able to gather, it is a google redirect virus.
One other thing that makes me suspicious that I have a virus (in spite of the fact that my two spy/malware programs say nothing is amiss; and that is when I installed Microsoft Office 2007 home and student version, after I restarted, I clicked the start button, and in the list of programs were: Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft OneNote, and now, Powerpoint - I have not opened or run any Office program except Word. When I looked at the properties of OneNote - I notiiced that their was an unknown user account listed in addition to the admin and user and system - it is: S-(a string of numbers) and in addition to this unknown account, the Everyone group is listed. (Which I actually have not seen on any other program I've installed or that came with my PC by the OEM)
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit. My pc is a Lenovo Idea, with a dual core i5 processor, at 3.2Ghz, 6GB of RAM, 1 TB HD. My security programs are: Norton Internet security suite, and Malwarebytes, and GFI CounterSpy.
I have not yet contacted them as all of my scans insist my system is clean - I even used the ESET online scanner (with CounterSpy and Norton disabled during it's scan.)
To hopefully better assist you, I've run a HiJackThis scan and cut and pasted the log below:
