========== FILES ========== C:\ProgramData\SysWoW32 folder moved successfully. File\Folder C:\Users\All Users\SysWoW32 not found. OTL by OldTimer - Version 3.2.18.2 log created on 01032011_123049 yes i haven't been redirected the last 2 days
OK as far as I can see we've removed all signs of infection.

Run your computer for a couple of days or so to make sure everything is operating as you'd expect it to, before following the instructions below to remove the programs we've been using to clean your machine. Once they are removed any backups they made will be gone as well.

So once you're happy things are OK ….

First

Let's clear out OTL and the files and folders it created. This will also remove TDSSKiller and SystemLook.
  • Double click OTL.exe to launch the programme.
  • Click on the CleanUp! button.
  • OTL will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programmes alerts you, allow it access.
  • You will be prompted to allow the clean up procedure, click Yes
  • When finished exit out of OTL
  • Now delete OTL.exe (if still present).

Next

Delete the following ….

MBRCheck.exe
Any log files it created


As far as I can see, your computer looks clear of infection now.

Are you still noticing any problems ?
  • If you are let me know about them.
  • If not it's time to make your computer more secure.

Please read the article below which will give you a few suggestions for how to minimise your chances of getting another infection.

If your computer is running slowly after your clean up, please read.
