I'll give you a D- for the stupid thing. :weee:

You did have the magic bullet, they are both gone from the HJT log. I can hardly believe it.

So what's next man? Is there anything else we need to chase or is it just time to protect it from future issues? Let me know. I really appreciate the hard work on this.

Here's the HJT log. I'll post the Ewido in another reply because the 2 combined are too large.

check the other for Ewido. :wavey:

SUCCESS IS A BEAUTIFUL THING!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I really deserve the A+ for the stupid thing. Here's why:

I got to thinking, Ewido normally kills those nasties (especially the ones with the "reg_run" after them).

I couldn't figure out why it had not killed yours. So I thought I'd go back and look at the post right after you ran Ewido..

Well… DUH!!!

I NEVER suggested you run Ewido in the first place!

I'm sorry for leading you on the wild goose chase, when Ewido would have wrapped this up long ago.

Guess I've been looking at too many logs… :wacko:

Thnx for your patience, and I'll try to be more observant in the future…

GOD bless you!!!

M68 :)

P.S. - Go ahead and email me the log. I'd love to see all the nasty things it killed. I worked a HJT log a week or so ago. The guy barely had 20 lines in his HJT log file. But he had one of those "reg_run" nasties so I had him run Ewido… Pages and pages of nasty things were found!!! I was shocked!!!!

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Download/install IE-Spyad

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings at Qualsys.com

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.

Well, at least we got them, thanks for all the help and keep up the good work. I will definitely be sending a donation or getting some goods from the store to help keep this thing going. Later!!!! :wavey:
