Post #1
I can't block pop ups with current Windows package 1 & package 2 and run Spybot 2-3 times a day. They keep coming so fast I can't keep up with them. They have slowed my computer down horribly.
The most popular pop ups are called revenue.net, exciteexchange.com and Adopt. Please help me! Here is my log.

:( Thanks for the suggestion!! I downloaded the mypctuneup that you suggested and it seemed to clean up some of the pop ups. Unfortunatly I am still getting the revenue.net and http//e.rn11.com Microsoft Explorer and exciteexchange.com pop ups over and over again. How can I get rid of these and how do I get my system back up to the speed it used to be before all these pop ups? PLEASE HELP!

I didn't mean to imply that just running that one uninstaller would cure everything, you have several different and nasty infections that have to be removed and this will take several steps.

First thing to do is download and run the Elite Toolbar Remover at the link below:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4465.html

Reboot….

Download and unzip the KillBox to a folder - we'll use it later.

Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes if listed:


exp.exe
wintask.exe
Fthsrp.exe
msvookup.exe
AutoUpdate.exe
nzivza.exe
msn0_32.exe

Exit the Task Manager when finished

Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Open up the KillBox.
Select the Delete on Reboot option.
In the field labeled Full Path of File to Delete copy and paste each one of these in (one at a time).
Hit the delete button
OK
Do the next file
After that LAST file path has been entered and you press OK
Reboot the computer
If you recieve an error message "PendingRenameOperation…." and your computer doesn't restart, please restart it manually.

Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press *ok* to remove:

Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

Reboot and post a fresh HJT log and lets see how we did, MrC

Ok here goes!!! I have a good feeling about this even though it took me almost 4 hours. I couldn't get out of safe mode because it wouldn't reload my settings until I used last week's date (before all the pop ups arrived). Luckily all my information was still there from this week! :D

The log looks good, to clean up a bit….

Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =
O23 - Service: .NET Framework Service (.NET Connection Service) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe (file missing)

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Let me know how it's running, MrC

Post #10
Thanks and Good Luck :thumbup:


I'll leave you with……..

Some preventive maintenance:

——————Must have or do:—————–

Now that you're clean: <—-Important Step!!!!
Delete your system restore files and create a new restore point:
(ME and XP users only)

XP system restore

ME system restore


Visit Windows Update and install all the lastest critical updates.

Install these two free programs, they sit in the backround and protect your system from spy and adware being installed on your system, also from your browser being hijacked. Check for updates weekly.

SpywareBlaster

SpywareGuard


IE-SPYAD
Puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
IE-SPYAD

SpyBot has some protection benefits - use them.

Need a free anti virus?
AVG*free
(check for updates - daily)

How about a firewall? The front door to your computer.
ZoneAlarm*free



———-Free malware removal programs:———-

SpyBot
AD-Aware
CW-Shredder

Free Online Trojan Scan

A SQUARED FREE TROJAN SCANNER

Trojan Hunter
TrojanHunter - free trial

Please consider using FireFox instead of Internet Explorer

Replace Java with SunJava

Pop-up stoppers:
GoogleToolBar
Pop-upStopperFree

Don't open e-mail attachments without first scanning them with an up-to-date
anti virus program, even after doing that I would be very careful. Don't click on any executables in e-mails or any other links that you're not sure of.
Watch your surfing habits, don't click on or download anything you're not sure of. Don't install a program that hasn't been recommended by a reputable organization.

Good luck and thanks for using the forum - MrC :wavey:

I WAS ABLE TO CREATE NEW RESTORE POINT, UPDATE WINDOWS (WHICH JUST UPDATED SP#2 TODAY WHEN MY TECH WAS HERE TO INSTALL NEW OUTLOOK) I THOUGHT IT WAS ALREADY UPDATED DAYS AGO, GUESS NOT. DOWNLOADED ALL THE SPYAD AND IE-SPYAD (ALREADY HAD NORTON DIDN'T LOAD AVG). I WASN'T ABLE TO DISABLE MY WINDOWS FIREWALL IN ORDER TO INSTALL ZONEALARM. THAT'S WHERE I STOPPED. THIS IS OK THOUGH BECAUSE WHEN WE UPDATED ALL THE ABOVE AND ADDED SP#2 TODAY, I THINK I'M OK NOW. EVERYTHING IS RUNNING GREAT!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP, I'VE SENT A DONATION FOR ALL YOUR TROUBLE. NOW I'M GOING TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE MALWARE REMOVAL PROGRAMS YOU SUGGESTED. I AM KEEPING INTERNET EXPLORER FOR NOW. WILL WAIT A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO SEE HOW FIREFOX DOES WITH BLOCKING SOME OF THE SIGHTS I USE WHEN SHOPPING. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP! YOU WERE A LIFE SAVER!!! JONLEIGH :wavey:
