Hello Guestolo,
I read your last post after performing the whole procedure. I'm sure the version of REMV3 is the same.. I went ahead and downloaded the one from this thread and installed it - after the fact. All the files were replaced with ones of equal size. The reason I could not download it the 1st time was because I was not in the "full version" of the forum.. I guess attachments don't show up unless you're in the "full version".
Enough on that.. This time everything went fairly smooth. A lot of the files in Hijack this were gone from yesterdays cleanup attempt. I seem to have regained control of my Internet Explorer (no pop-ups, no redirects, homepage is once again yahoo, etc). But my desktop is still hijacked.. A nasty black "Warning!! You're in danger!" message still appears. I right clicked on the desktop, went to properties and the address URL was //c:\\WINNT\\WEB\desktop.html. I proceeded to delete this file and refresh the desktop and now I have a plain white desktop (with the same URL address). I do not get the usual desktop configuration window when right clicking and going to properties (ie Wallpaper, screensaver, etc). However, I do see my original desktop picture for a short while when booting up... Dont know if this info helps out or not..
Maybe the following logs will:
