I get popups upon opening my browser and at almost every web page I visit. Here is my HiJack this log…

Hi Valnarus,

Go to your Add/Remove Programs;
Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and remove these if there:

Viewpoint
EBATES_MOEMONEYMAKER

Then close Control Panel.

Next, open Hijackthis, click Scan, then put a check next to the following entries:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://websearch.drsnsrch.com/sidesearch.cgi?id=
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://websearch.drsnsrch.com/sidesearch.cgi?id=

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mmacbxez] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ICYMFY.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe

O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {6685509E-B47B-4f47-8E16-9A5F3A62F683} - file://C:\PROGRAM FILES\EBATES_MOEMONEYMAKER\Sy350\Tp350\scri350a.htm (file missing) (HKCU)


Now Close all open Windows and browsers (have only HJT open) and click "Fix Checked".


You may have to show hidden files
Open My Computer.
Select the View menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab.
In the Hidden files section select Show all files.
Click OK.

Then, reboot to Safe mode
As the computer restarts, press and hold down the F8 key until the Windows 98 startup menu appears, and delete these folders:

C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\
C:\PROGRAM FILES\EBATES_MOEMONEYMAKER\

And this file:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ICYMFY.EXE

Then reboot normally.

To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this tool:
http://www.igorshpak.net/software/3ssetup104.zip

Extract it from the zip file into a folder and doubleclick on sss.exe.
Check all the boxes under the 'Items to Clear' tab.
Then click 'Clear Selected Items'. You will be prompted to reboot, do so.

After you reboot, please post a new HJT log, and tell us how you made out.

Okay, I did everything cept the things I couldn't find in the Hijack This scan after uninstalling viewpoint. Also I didn't have the Ebates folder in my program files directory… so I assume I'm alright there. No popups so far and things seem to be running a bit better. This is my new scan info:

Hi Valnarus,

Your log looks clean, Good job!

Here is some free protection you should also consider:
Download and install:

SpywareBlaster will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies.

IESPYAD puts over 4000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.

Check for updates occasionally.

And also see So how did I get infected in the first place?

Stay safe!
