Hi! I saw the older topic on this, but it's locked… I can't remove the AZE toolbar and it's really getting to me. I dont' know how it got into my pc. I downloaded the programs 'KotaGuy told russinangl to download. (CCleaner, CWShredder). I don't want to go ahead and try to fix it since I may do have different things on my logfile from russinangl. Any help will be much appreciated! thank you.


Here's the log file from Hjt.

Hi taliay and welcome to the Tom Coyote Forums.

My name is Trevuren and I will he helping you.

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

1. Go to the Tom Coyote Forums http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?
.Click on My Controls near the top middle of the window (make sure you have signed in first)
.On the left hand column, click "view topics"
.If you click on the title of your post, you will be taken there
2. Also, while at that place in control panel, check the box to the right of your post and then scroll down.
Where it says "unsubscribe" click the pull-down menu and select "immediate email notification", By doing this, you will be notified as soon as I have posted a reply to your log.

3. Now I want you to UNINSTALL the following programs through the ADD/REMOVE feature of your Control Panel:

j2 MessengerPlus 3.3

4. Now, using Windows Explorer, I need you to DELETE the following folder(s) and all their content:

C:\Program Files\NoAdware

5. Download the following program HOSTER.
Unzip and run the program. You will be presented with a screen where you will find the following option:Restore Microsoft Original Hosts. Press it and Close the program.

6. REBOOT your system.

7. Finally, run HijackThis and with all windows closed except for HJT, click SCAN, produce a LOG and POST it in this thread for review.

Regards,

Trevuren

Hi taliay,

Please repost your ENTIRE log. You are missing a couple of lines from the top portion of your HJT log. I am not being picky. We always need the entire log so we can tell what we are dealing with.

Trevuren

Hi taliay,

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

Now let's do some work on your log:

First we need to make all files and folders VISIBLE:

Go to start>control panel>folder options>view (tab)
*choose to "show hidden files and folders,"
*uncheck the "hide protected operating system files" and the "hide extensions for know file types" boxes.
*Close the window with ok
*All hidden files will now be visible

Close all browser windows and RUN HijackThis.
. Click the SCAN button to produce a log.

Place a check mark beside each one of the following items:

O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/25d718d10c0215…ip/RdxIE601.cab

Now with all the items selected, delete them by clicking the FIX checked button. Close the HijackThis window and Reboot Your System in Safe Mode

How to use the F8 method to Start Your Computer in Safe Mode

*Restart the computer.
*as soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
*Use the arrow keys to select the Safe mode menu item
*press Enter.


Using Windows Explorer, locate the following folder, and DELETE it with all its content(if it is present):

C:\WINDOWS\web

Exit Explorer, and REBOOT BACK INTO NORMAL MODE

Finally, RUN Hijackthis again and produce a new HJT log. Post it in the forum so we can check how everytjhing looks now.

Regards,

Trevuren

Hi taliay,

Please check the version of the program called No Adware. If is is not version 3.0 or higher it is not recommended and should be removed from your system.

You can find the info HERE

If you do have to remove it, please proceed as follows:

1. UNINSTALL the following program through the ADD/REMOVE feature of your Control Panel:

NoAdware

2. Now, using Windows Explorer, I need you to DELETE the following folder(s) and all their content:

C:\Program Files\NoAdware

3. REBOOT your system.

4. Finally, run HijackThis and with all windows closed except for HJT, click SCAN, produce a LOG and POST it in this thread for review.

Regards,

Trevuren

1. Please run HJT, click SCAN and put a checkmark beside the following entry:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [NoAdware] "C:\Program Files\NoAdware\NoAdware.exe" /s

2. Now with all windows closed except for HJT, click Fixed checked and exit the program.

3. REBOOT your system.

4. RE-SCAN your system with HJT and POST the log into this thread.

Excellent work.

I would like you to try out your system for 24 hours and report your findings back tome in your next reply with a HJT log.

In the meantime, pleas do the following ASAP.

1. Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files from the backup that Windows makes as no program is able to clean those files:

TO DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE
1. Right-click "My Computer", and then left click "Properties".
2. Left click on "System Restore Tab"
3. Check box beside "Turn Off System Restore"
4. Left click on "Apply"

TO ENABLE SYSTEM RESTORE
1.Remove check mark from "Turn Off System Restore"
2.Click on "Apply"

2. Cleanup the leftovers. Download CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.


3. Finally, Re-hide your System Files and Folders to prevent any future accidents.
