Click here to download Ad-Aware SE and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Click "Start", select "Perform Full System scan" and "Next" to start the scan. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?".

Reboot when done. Rescan with HJT and post a new log here so that any remnants can be removed manually.

I downloaded Ad-Aware SE and downloaded the latest definitions as you suggested. I ran Ad-Aware and quarentined 823 files. I tried to delete. The "deleting" message came up, but no apparent change occurred…and the message just remained constant. I shut down my computer, rebooted, and tried the whole routine over again with the same result. Anyway - here is the new HJT Log:

Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly. Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

Click here, for instructions on how to enable hidden files and folders to be visible. After enabling, reboot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded, find and delete the following:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINAD CLIENT\ <– folder
C:\PROGRAM FILES\TOOLBAR\ <– folder
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\WINTOOLS\ <– folder
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\uuotvtc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\ascs.exe

Reboot back to Normal Mode when done. Then try re-running and cleaning up with AdAware again. Rescan with HJT and post a new log here.

With only HJT running, have it fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WinTools] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WINTOOLS\WTOOLSA.EXE

Rescan with HJT and post a new log here. Does AdAware clean up properly now?
Post #7
Thanks again -

Ad-Aware seems to be working - it will quarantine, buy not delete…but that seems to clean things up.

Here is the latest HJT log:

Thanks so much! Running well. I have Spybot, Spyblaster and now Ad-Aware…what else do you recommend to keep this from happening again? AG p.s. I will definitely contribute to the upkeep of Tom Coyote!

You're welcome - glad to help :D

To help keep you clean follow the recommendations in Tony's article here:

So how did I get infected in the first place?
