Click here to download Ad-Aware and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Then click the gear wheel at the top and check these options:

General> activate these: "Automatically save log-file" and "Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal"

Scanning > activate these: "Scan within archives", "Scan active processes", "Scan registry", "Deep scan registry", "Scan my IE Favorites for banned sites" and "Scan my Hosts file"

Tweaks > Scanning Engine> activate this: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."

Tweaks > Cleaning Engine: activate these: "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion" and "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."

Click "Proceed" to save your settings, then click "Start", make sure "Activate in-depth scan" is ticked green then scan your system. 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.

You have a People OnPage infection.
http://www.pchell.com/support/peopleonpage.shtml

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
Move HijackThis.exe into this folder.

When you run HijackThis from C:\HJT folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary.

Start HijackThis and tick the boxes next to all these, then close all browser and explorer windows, and tell HijackThis to "Fix checked" if still present.

Boot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 key at bootup.

Delete if still present.

You've also got one of the newer PurityScan Pop-up generators. Click here to download TheKillbox by Option^Explicit. Extract it from the zip file to your Desktop and double click it to open it up. In the 'Enter Full Path and Filename to Delete' box, copy and paste these entries one by one, clicking 'Find and Kill This File' after each one:

C:\Program Files\Mini-Golf\LoadGolfCourses.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\pcs\pcsvc.exe
C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate\AutoUpdate.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\CLOCKS~1\Sync.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wintsvsu.exe

Click 'Exit' when done.

If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run TheKillbox, click here to download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try TheKillbox again.

Using Explorer, go to C:\!Submit and find the following file: wintsvsu.exe - zip it up and send to this e-mail address including a link to this thread in the body of the email.

With only HJT running, have it fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadGolfCourses] C:\Program Files\Mini-Golf\LoadGolfCourses.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Pcsv] C:\WINDOWS\system32\pcs\pcsvc.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoUpdater] "C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate\AutoUpdate.exe"
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ClockSync] C:\PROGRA~1\CLOCKS~1\Sync.exe /q
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WCPS] C:\WINDOWS\System32\wintsvsu.exe

Reboot, rescan with HJT and post a new log for a final check over.

I think i did something wrong last time.. i right clicked on the application then clicked 'compress and email' this time.. and i tried sending it again, thanks for help, let me know if im not emailing it correctly.
Post #11 last edited
Yeah, thanks a lot. Another question, how do you prevent these things from happening? I received a virus and had to do this a couple months back. And it seems like im affected with spyware and junk whenever i leave my computer off for a weekend…Should i refrain from going to certain sites, run adaware a lot?

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?
