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".

4. Delete, in safe mode:
Folders
C:\WINDOWS\EliteSideBar
C:\WINDOWS\All Users\Application Data\msw
C:\Program Files\WildTangent
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint
C:\Program Files\3764IEW9
C:\Program Files\VBOUNCER
C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate
C:\Program Files\GogoTools

Files
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\winupdt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\saie.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BPWOIC.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\msmc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\AIRCITY.exe
C:\WINDOWS\nkbmgvqt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\FARMMEXT.exe
C:\WINDOWS\cbud.exe
C:\WINDOWS\sys027808541910.exe

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

Hans,

My apologies for the boneheaded move with the wrong version. Here is a log with the new version. And, yes, I deleted the old one as you suggested. Thanks for the help!

Hi again :)

* Go to Start - Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall:
- Adware Filter (bad program: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm )

1. Run HijackThis (“Do a system scan only”). Put a checkmark near these lines:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {F3E833C2-16E0-4DF1-BC3B-5ABBEB73A60B} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\3764IEW9\3764IEW9.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemCheck] C:\WINDOWS\SYSCHECKBOP32
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sys027808541910] C:\WINDOWS\sys027808541910.exe

O4 - Global Startup: AdwareFilter Background Protection.lnk = C:\Program Files\AdwareFilter\adwarefilter.exe


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

3. Download Killbox.
Click killbox.exe.
Select the option "Delete on reboot".

Now copy the next bold:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSCHECKBOP32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\sys027808541910.exe
C:\PROGRAM FILES\3764IEW9

Open 'file' in the killboxmenu on top and choose Paste from clipboard

Now you will see, this is pasted in the "Full Path of File to Delete"-field.
There's a little arrow (dropdown-arrow) next to that field.
If you expand it, these lines must be there together!

Then press the button that looks like a red circle with a white X in it.
Killbox will tell you that all listed files will be deleted on next reboot.. Click YES
When it asks if you would like to Reboot now, click YES
If you get a "PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been Removed by External Process!" message then just restart manually.

4. When your system is rebooted, make a new HijackThis log, and post it here :)

Hi Hans,

I was not able to find any reference to the Adware Filter in the add/remove programs list.

I also could only get two of the three file paths to paste into the killbox.exe application at one time. So after I deleted the first two I typed the path of the last file and deleted it that way.

Here is the latest log (using the latest version of HijackThis. :)

Looks good! :)

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
I also suggest that you delete your Temp folders regularly. Use CleanUp! to do this automatically for you!

Hans, Thank you so much for your patience and help. My neighbor's machine is working like new. I'll make sure he keeps up with his anti-spyware fight in the future.
