Hi you malware fighters,

Polonus and CharleyO already use this, but you can also benefit from these free scans of
running system scans.

You scan your HJT logfile to get a tasks survey here: http://www.computer-support.nl/Systeemtaken/Scan.php
Then scan these processes automatically and download the Agics Hashcheck, download from here:
http://www.computer-support.nl/Software/AHC/Setup.exe

I found that free tool for us here: http://www.computer-support.nl/Systeemtaken/Taakinfo/18636/jqs.exe/
American version:

Additionally also use ThreatExpert Memory Scanner: download and tutorial here: http://www.threatexpert.com/memoryscanner.aspx

Enjoy my good friends,

polonus

It appears that hm.exe can be related to some malware and perhaps this is what Agics is finding.

If so, the location of the file and a comparison of hashmarks would be needed … or at least a checking of the hashmark of the supposedly good file should there be a reason to do this.

Hi malware fighters,

And here are some online MD5 Hash Checkers?

But Notice the following information:

The purpose of a file hash is to see if what you received is exactly equal to the source’s copy. Since calculating the hash requires every bit of the file, you’d have to upload the entire file to an “online hash checker”, and if there were a difference, you couldn’t tell whether it happened during downloading or uploading. That’s why there is no such thing and you should get an utility to do it on your machine,
