- KaZaA (Has installed much bad things on your computer)
- P2P Networking
- GMT/Gator
- Altnet (Points Manager)

2. Check these in HijackThis:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = file:///C:/Program%20Files/MStart2Page/Portal/portal.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Startpagina = file:///C:/Program%20Files/MStart2Page/Portal/portal.html

O16 - DPF: {1D6711C8-7154-40BB-8380-3DEA45B69CBF} (Web P2P Installer) -

3. Close all other windows and browsers, and hit Fix Checked.

4. Reboot into safe mode by tapping F8 frequently during bootup.
Make sure your settings allow you to view "Hidden files". Open up any explorer windows and click on "Tools" => "Folder Options" => "View" and be sure to check off "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

5. Delete, in safe mode:
Folders
C:\Program Files\MStart2Page
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GMT
C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking

File
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mcmgr32.exe

6. Go to Start - Run, and type
%TEMP%
Hit OK.

Now delete the CONTENTS of this folder, not the folder itself.
Empty your recycle bin.

7. Reboot into normal mode, make a new HijackThis log, and post it here :)

Just check these in HijackThis, close all other windows and browsers, and hit Fix Checked:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = file:///C:/Program%20Files/MStart2Page/Portal/portal.html]
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Startpagina = file:///C:/Program%20Files/MStart2Page/Portal/portal.html

Reboot, make a new log, and post it here :)

Yes, it's clean now! :)

There are a few optional ones, which could be fixed safely to make your computer boot faster:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
System Tray access to Apple's "Quick Time" viewer.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_05\bin\jusched.exe
Checks with Sun's Java updates site to see if newer Java versions are available.
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE
Resource hog that launches common MS Office components to help speed up the launch of Office programs.


Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:
  • Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  • Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers real-time protection from spyware installation attempts.
  • How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
  • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
To protect yourself further:
  • IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Google Toolbar <= Get the free Google toolbar to help stop pop up windows. NOTE: If you’re already using the popupblocker which is integrated with ServicePack 2, you don’t need to get the Google Toolbar, the popupblocker from IE is very good!
I also suggest that you delete your Temp folders regularly. Use CleanUp! to do this automatically for you!
