Please read through the instructions before you start (you may want to print this out).

Please note that everytime you reboot your computer there's a good chance that the files names may have changed.
The link below will help ID them:
http://www.pchell.com/support/onlythebest.shtml

Please download and unzip
AboutBuster to a folder. Inside the folder is a readme file that has instructions on the use of the program.
AboutBuster MUST be updated before you use it.
Start AboutBuster, click the update button, check for update, drag the box to the side and hit download updates, close the box . Don't run it yet.
Current reference list # is 14


You may also find the TheKillBox helpful for deleting and ending task on files to be deleted.
To end task on a file that's running use the drop down arrow in the right lower corner of the program and the button to the left of it.


1. Please download and install AD-Aware.
Check Here on how setup and use it - please make sure you update it first.

2. Go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok
Scroll down and find the service called "Network Security Service" (it may also be listed as Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper or Workstation NetLogon Service)

When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows. If you don´t find this service listed go ahead with the next steps.

3. Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked.
Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

For anyone using Windows XP, 'Search' will not automatically show hidden files even if your folder options settings are set to do that. Do this so you can see hidden files and folders - click here http://www.davehigham.zen.co.uk/downloads/xphidden.zip to download xphidden.zip. Extract xphidden.reg from the zip file and save it to the desktop. When done, double-click the xphidden.reg and when asked to merge say yes.

4. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete once => Click Task Manager => Click the Processes tab => Double-click the Image Name column header to alphabetically sort the processes => Scroll through the list and look for:

addkv32.exe
sysas32.exe
ipfl32.exe
msjj32.exe
mfcto.exe
javayt.exe
atlfv.exe
mssv.exe


If you find the files, click on them, and then click End Process => Exit the Task Manager.


5. CLOSE ALL WINDOWS AND BROWSERS Scan with Hijack This and put checks next to all the following, then click "Fix Checked"

Hi. I followed all of the steps of the script that was sent. However, the running of AboutBuster did not complete because it errored out with the following message: Last bad data stream found: N Currently Scanning File: C:\WINDOWCOMSETUP.LOG Run-time error '13': Type Mismatch I did continue with the rest of the steps and have posted the latest hijackthis log. The problem still exists but with different filenames. Do I need another version of AboutBuster or something else?
Sorry, here is the latest hijackthis log:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [netjj.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\netjj.exe

then delete these files:


C:\WINDOWS\njevp.dll
C:\WINDOWS\syssc.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\netjj.exe

Now run AboutBuster and then run AdAware again.

Reboot and let me know. MrC
I downloaded the new version of About Buster and that one worked fine (log below). I followed all of the other steps again and all seemed to run ok. However, after rebooting and opening IE again, the same problem came up but with different file names. Ugh!!!

Here is the AboutBuster log:

This is a nasty hijacker, but we'll get it - just be patient, it may take several steps.

In the AboutBuster log I see it couldn't delete these:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\appdv32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\netjv.exe

Use the TheKillBox and see if you can delete them.
Here's a link to the full version of the KillBox if needed:
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip

Reboot into safe mode and have HJT fix these:
