K, the first one turned up nothing. Said I had no malicous files. The second one turned up this: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\webcal\URL Protocol 2/9/2005 12:43 PM 13 bytes Data mismatch between Windows API and raw hive data. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\RNG\Seed 1/22/2006 1:04 PM 80 bytes Data mismatch between Windows API and raw hive data.

Run another Ewido scan.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


Then please run Ewido, click on the Scanner run a full scan and let it clean everything it finds. Save the logfile from the scan.


Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

How my computer is acting right now: Still recieving the same popup in question. Its been about 45 minutes since my last reboot and I have only seen one though.. Definite improvement.

[Korom]

After about 3 hours, I've only received just that 1 popup. So I think for the most part its fixed. Thank you so much for all your help.

[Korom]

It lasted for about 4 hours, with only one popup! But after rebooting again (because I went to sleep) its back to 5-10 minute intervals. I give up.

[LDTate]

Backup your Registry...
- Press "CTRL - ALT - DEL" keys all at the same time to start "Task Manager"
- In the Task Manager window click on "File", then from the drop-down menu select "New Task (Run...)"
- In the "Create New Task" window enter\type "regedit" (without quotes)
- Once Regedit opens click on the FILE menu and select Export
- Save the file as backup. Save the file somewhere you will remember and not delete.
IMPORTANT: make sure to set the export range to ALL




Click "Start"> "Run"> type in Regedit tap Enter Key

Make sure "My Computer" is highlighted

Click "Edit"> "Find"
Type in PSGuard tap Enter Key.
Right Click on the file and select "Delete"

Tap the "F3" Key to find the next entry of the file. Continue using the "F3" Key until it's finished searching.

Close Regedit.


Empty Recycle Bin

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

[Korom]

K, I decided to get it another go.

I was in the process of doing your latest instructions, I got to the.....

Click "Edit"> "Find"
Type in PSGuard tap Enter Key.
Right Click on the file and select "Delete"

When I type in PSGuard, and tap enter.. a little window comes up saying "Searching Registry...." then after about 30-45 seconds is said "Registry has finished searching". Thats all it says, didn't pull up any files or anything for me to delete.

[LDTate]

Lets look a little deeper.

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download AproposFix from here:
http://swandog46.gee.../aproposfix.exe

Save it to your desktop but do NOT run it yet.

Then please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


Once in Safe Mode, please double-click aproposfix.exe and unzip it to the desktop. Open the aproposfix folder on your desktop and run RunThis.bat. Follow the prompts.

When the tool is finished, please reboot back into normal mode, and post a new HijackThis log, along with the entire contents of the log.txt file in the aproposfix folder.

What did that file do? Dare I say it... I think the popups are gone. EDIT: Let me give it a day before I start celebrating and I'll let you know if the popups are gone. All I know is that I haven't seen a popup all day (even before I downloaded the AproposFix file).

Edited by Korom, 24 January 2006 - 10:14 PM.

[Korom]

K, that popup is gone. It was gone before I tried your latest instructions. Early that morning, I moved my modem/router to a differnent room. Other then that, I do not know what could of made the popups go away. Either way, they are gone now. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
