Hi,
Glad things are running better for you!
Please do the following:
Hold down the Windows key and press R to open a run box
type the following text into the run box
appwiz.cpl
This will open your Programs And Features. A list of installed programs will populate
If still there remove the following programs:
Pando Media Booster
———-
You have an older version of Adobe Reader. You can download the current version HERE
You may want to consider Foxit Reader instead. It may be a bit lighter on resources.
Visit their support forum
Foxit Forum
In either case you should uninstall Adobe Reader 8.2.5 first. Be sure to move any PDF documents to another folder first though.
———-
Please run a new scan with DDS and post the new logs into your next reply and let me know how your system is running now.

Umm two things…
1) Why do you prefer Foxit?
2) I'm looking at all the software you had me install and I can't see anything called "DDS". Can you be more specific please?
jeffce
Hi,
Foxit is just another alternative to Adobe Reader; however, it is your choice if you would like to use it. I have used both and presently use Adobe myself, but like both. It is more an alternative than a preference.

In your very first post you posted the logs ran by DDS. Please run that tool again and post both of the logs created.

Great! That is what I was hoping for. Looks good.
How is your system running?
babylonSux
My system is running well now. Thanks for the help!
jeffce
Hi,
IT APPEARS THAT YOUR LOGS ARE NOW CLEAN
SO LETS DO A COUPLE OF THINGS TO WRAP THIS UP!!
This infection appears to have been cleaned, but I can not give you any absolute guarantees. As a precaution, I would go ahead and change all of your passwords as this is especially important after an infection.
———-
The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following text into the Run box as shown and click OK.
Combofix /Uninstall
(Note: There is a space between the ..X and the /U that needs to be there.)
[external image: Posted Image]
———-
Clean up with OTL:
Any of the logs that you created for use in the forums or remaining tools that have not yet been removed can be deleted so they aren't cluttering up your desktop.
Here are some tips to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future:
1. Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
4. Firewall
Using a third-party firewall will allow you to give/deny access for applications that want to go online. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. A tutorial on firewalls can be found here. **There are firewalls listed in this tutorial that could be downloaded and used but I would personally only recommend using one of the following two below:
Online Armor Free
Agnitum Outpost Firewall Free
5. Make sure you keep your Windows OS current. Windows XP users can visit Windows update regularly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. Windows Vista/7 users can open the Start menu > All Programs > Windows Update > Check for Updates (in left hand task pane) to update these systems. Without these you are leaving the back door open.
6. Consider a custom hosts file such as MVPS HOSTS. This custom hosts file effectively blocks a wide range of unwanted ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers. For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial by WinHelp2002
Note: Be sure to follow the instructions to disable the DNS Client service before installing a custom hosts file.
7. WOT (Web of Trust) As "Googling" is such an integral part of internet life, this free browser add on warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. It is especially helpful when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites. WOT has an add-on available for Firefox, Internet Explorer as well as Google Chrome.
8.Finally, I strongly recommend that you read TonyKlein's good advice So how did I get infected in the first place?
Please reply to this thread once more if you are satisfied so that we can mark the problem as resolved.

Clean up with OTL:
- Right-click and Run as Administrator OTL.exe to start the program.
- Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
- On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
- Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.
Any of the logs that you created for use in the forums or remaining tools that have not yet been removed can be deleted so they aren't cluttering up your desktop.
Here are some tips to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future:
1. Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
- From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
- Click once on the Security tab
- Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
- Click once on the Custom Level button.
- Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
- Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
- Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
- Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
- Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
- Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
- When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
- If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
- Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
- Open Internet Explorer
- Click on Tools > Internet Options
- Press Security tab
- Select Internet zone then place check next to Enable Protected Mode if not already done
- Do the same for Local Intranet, Trusted Sites and Restricted Sites and then press Apply
- Restart Internet Explorer and in the bottom right corner of your screen you will see Protected Mode: On showing you it is enabled.

Hi Jeff,
Got all that done. I think your instructions for changing IE settings are for versions prior to IE9 (which is what I have). I did find everything except the item "Installation of desktop items".
Thanks again!
jeffce
Hi,
Yep I think you are right. I will need to make a change to that…thank you.I think your instructions for changing IE settings are for versions prior to IE9 (which is what I have)
