[guestolo]

Can you link me to what fixes you tried in another post
I want to see what you ran already
Compare to what we still need to do

[discodave]

this is what you told matrix and this is what i did also but i had ad-aware se professional instead of personal





here is what ive done :

Can you do the following for me please

First
Access your add/remove programs and remove if found
P2P networking remove Altnets if prompted

Also Remove if found
Media Access
NavHelper

finally remove Ad-Aware 6
Ad-aware isn't malware, but we must update you too the latest version

Reboot your computer

Back in windows, I need you too download the following tools

Download and save to desktop the
Standalone version of CWShredder
Don't run this yet

Also, can you do the following
==Create a New folder on your desktop, call it Aboutbuster
(Right click an empty spot on the desktop and select NEW>>FOLDER)
Download to desktop About:Buster 5.1
by RubbeR Ducky
Unzip it to that new folder

Open the Aboutbuster folder and Run About:buster.exe
Click the Update button
Allow to update

Close down your browser
Run About:Buster.exe again
This time
Click the Begin Removal button
Can you please run this scan twice
When it's done it will produce a log in the Aboutbuster folder called
Ab logfile.txt
I'll need to see the log later

Afterwards, Open CWShredder.exe and click on the FIX button
Let it fix what it finds

Reboot your computer

Back in windows

Download and Install the free version of Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06
Open Ad-Aware, ensure to click the check for updates now link and Connect to download the latest updates
Click START
Click the radio button to Perform a Full system scan then click NEXT
When it's finished scanning
At this point you should either right click on the screen and and choose the "Select All" Objects option or individually put a checkmark in each objects checkbox
click on the Next button. Ad-Aware SE will now present you with a confirmation box as to whether or not you would like to remove the objects you have just selected. Press the "OK" button

RESTART your computer to finish the cleaning process

Back in Windows
Download and Install Spybot 1.4 from
HERE
or HERE

After installation--Click the UPDATE button on the left
SEARCH FOR UPDATES on the right
Check, and download all updates
Click the Search & Destroy button on the left
Check for Problems---When the Scan is complete
FIX all selected promblems in RED

RESTART the computer to finish the cleaning process

Back in windows

Post back a fresh hijackthis log
Could you also post the log in the About:Buster folder>>Ab logfile.txt

[guestolo]

I'm not sure how much of that you had to do
But I'm glad you have the latest versions of Spybot and Ad-Aware now

Can you do the following please
Make sure that both Ad-Aware and Spybot are right up to date
Check for updates with both and download them if any

Close them out after they are updated

Here's some additional tools that you will need

==Download SmitRem.exe by Noahdfear and save the file to your desktop.
Don't run it yet

In case you don't have this tool
==Download and Install this small program
to help clean your temp folders,cookies, etc...
Windows Cleanup! 4.0
Don't run it yet

==Download and then Install
Ewido Security Suite

When installing, under "Additional Options" Uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".

From the main ewido screen, click on Update in the left menu, then click the Start update button.
After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful")
Close out Ewido for now, we'll need it later
If for some reason the Updater won't work can you manually download the
Updates from this link after you have Ewido installed
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/

Please  save these instructions to a Notepad file and save it to your Desktop for reference
or Print them out!

RESTART your Computer into SAFE MODE
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as the system is restarting, just before Windows loads
Choose Safe mode from the startup menu and hit Enter

==Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
Set the program up as follows:
Click "Options..."
Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):

    * Empty Recycle Bins
    * Delete Cookies
    * Delete Prefetch files
    * Cleanup! All Users

Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.
When it's done, decline to log off or restart the computer

==Double click on SmitRem.exe to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.
Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

==Open Ewido Security Suite
Click on the Scanner button on the left menu
Select Complete System Scan
*If Ewido finds something it will prompt you with "Infected Object found"
Ensure the following are Selected
  *1. Perform Action = Remove
  *2. Create Encrypted Backup in Quarantine (Recommended)
  *3. Perform action with all infections
 
  Then click OK
When Ewido has finished it's scan click the "Save Report" button
Save the report to desktop
Exit Ewido
NOTE: When Ewido is running, don't open any other Windows

Since you have both Ad-Aware and Spybot and your still in safe mode
Can you first run Ad-aware and fix any critical objects found

Then next run Spybot and fix all entries in RED

Reboot back to Normal mode

Post back the following please
1. Post back a fresh hijackthis log
2. Post the whole report from Ewido's you saved earlier
3. Post the Whole log made from SmitRem located here C:\Smitfiles.txt

thanks again.....

i dont know where to find the ewido's log so if you can help me find that ill post it

[guestolo]

Don't worry about the Ewido log if everything is running well

Can you do the following
Do a "System scan only" with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = \blank.htm


After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis

Final cleanup
If everything is running better, please do the following
You should disable system restore>>Reboot your computer>>and then reenable it
This will clear all your restore points and ensure you don't restore any nasties
How to Disable and Re-enable System Restore feature
Make sure you reenable system restore feature
