Help Please!

Hi, i would be very grateful for your help. it all started when i updated my msn to msn+. I scanned my computer after on ad-aware and found 130+ critical objects on it. i tried to delete them but the ad-aware stalled when the delete bar came up. It had changed my homepage, i was getting pop up menus, also added unwanted programmes on my desktop and a new tool bar. Thanks. Joe

Thats because MSN plus is loaded down with crapware. Go to Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it.
Update your Norton, then run a virus scan in safe mode
Download Stinger
Run this in Safe mode also


Download and install Spybot S&D and Adaware SE.

Adaware

Spybot

1. Downloaded and Install Spybot S&D, accepting the Default Settings

2. In the Menu Bar at the top of the Spybot window you will see 'Mode'. Make certain that 'default mode' has a check mark beside it.

3. Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D

4. Click the button to ‘Search for Updates’ then download and install the Updates.

5. Next click the button ‘Check for Problems’

6. When Spybot is complete, it will be showing ‘RED’ entries bold 'Black' entries and ‘GREEN’ entries in the window

7. Make certain there is a check mark beside all of the RED entries ONLY.

8. Choose ‘Fix Selected Problems’ and allow Spybot to fix the RED entries.

9.REBOOT to complete the scan and clear memory.

10. Do not enable Tea Timer until the log is clean as it will prevent the fix from working.



Scanning With Ad-Aware SE :

1. Download and Install Ad-Aware SE, keeping the default options. However, some of the settings will need to be changed before your first scan

2.Close ALL windows except Ad-Aware SE

3. Click on the‘world’ icon at the top right of the Ad-Aware SE window and let AdAware SE update the reference list for the adware and malware.

4. Once the update is finished click on the ‘Gear’ icon (second from the left at the top of the window) to access the preferences/settings window

1) In the ‘General’ window make sure the following are selected in green:
*Automatically save log-file
*Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
*Safe Mode (always request confirmation)

Under Definitions:
*Prompt to udate outdated definitions - set the number of days


2) Click on the ‘Scanning’ button on the left and select in green :

Under Driver, Folders & Files:
*Scan Within Archives

Under Select drives & folders to scan -
*choose all hard drives

Under Memory & Registry: all green
*Scan Active Processes
*Scan Registry
*Deep Scan Registry
*Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
*Scan my Hosts file


3) Click on the ‘Advanced’ button on the left and select in green:

Under Shell Integration:
*Move deleted files to recycle bin

Under Logfile Detail Level: (all green)
*include addtional object information
*DESELECT - include negligible objects information
*include environment information

Under Alternate Data Streams:
*Don't log streams smaller than 0 bytes
*Don't log ADS with the following names: CA_INOCULATEIT


4) Click the ‘Tweak’ button and select in green:

Under the ‘Scanning Engine’:
*Unload recognized processes during scanning
*Scan registry for all users instead of current user only


Under the ‘Cleaning Engine’:
*Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot


Under the Log Files:
*Include basic Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
*Include additional Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
*Please do not check or make green: Include Module list in logfile


5. Click on ‘Proceed’ to save the settings.

6. Click ‘Start’

*Choose:'Perform Full System Scan'
*DESELECT "Search for negligible risk entries", as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.

7. Click ‘Next’ and Ad-Aware SE will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected and clean automatically.

8. If Ad-Aware SE finds bad entries, you will receive a list of what it found in the window

9. REBOOT to complete the removal of what Ad-Aware SE found

Run HJT and post another log

Thanks for your help, I did all you requested but when I down loaded and installed Ad-Aware SE. Changed the settings in Ad-Aware SE this made no difference, after finding forty three objects, AD-Aware did not clean them automatically. When I tried to close Ad-Aware it told me I had not selected any, when I did it froze when deleting like before. When I try to access the internet my home page has task bars which I cannot remove and I am still getting pop up menus. Below is the copy you asked for.
Hope you can help
Joe

Hi, fingers crossed, I think its sorted. I can't thank you enough for your help and support. Right at the beginning I had trouble deleting msn+, it would not let me remove it from the add and remove program, so i put the file in the recycle bin. Even then it would not let me delete the program, but when i rebooted the computer the file wasn't in the bin. I hope it's completely gone! Many thanks. Joe
