Hello jimbyers

You have one of the most severe infections we see these days and it will take a few posts to get rid of it. I would like you to do the following steps in order following the instructions carefully:

Step #1

Please download and open the following zip file. Double-click on the file inside the zip and when it asks you if you would like to merge the file into your registry, please answer yes. This will make sure all files are visible on your computer.

http://www.davehigham.zen.co.uk/downloads/xphidden.zip


Step #2

The first thing I need you to do is download the file from here:

Getservice.zip

1. Extract the file to the c:\ drive.

2. Then navigate to the c:\getservices and double-click on the getservices.bat file.

3. A notepad will open up. Please paste the contents of that notepad as a reply to this post.




Step #3

This infection often continues to reinstall itself through a hidden dll which we have to find and remove.

1. Please download DllCompare
( The Screenshot will show you how the program will look when it starts.)

2. Start the Program with its default settings and put a check mark in the include subdirectories. Click the Run Locate.com and wait until the scan says complete.

3. Click the Compare button to start the next process.

4. Files in the upper portion have been verified to "exist", Files in the bottom section were not able to be accessed. Very few files should be listed in the bottom section when the Compare scan is complete.

5. Click on each of the listed entries in the lower section to select them. Right-click on the file and use the Option Rescan screenshot.

6. This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then it will be removed from the list (to reduce the number of identified files) screenshot

7. Click the Make a Log of what was found button, and post the log here in this thread using Add Reply to receive further instructions.



Step #4

Please post the two log files here in this thread using 'Add Reply'
