hi SickKidd

first thing i would uninstall spyware cleaner via add/remove programs panel

see link:
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

if you havent yet download and install update and run these two (free)

Ad-Aware:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Install the program and launch it.

in the main window look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now then click Connect and download the latest reference files.

From the main window-Click Start then under Select a scan Mode check Perform full system scan.
Next >deselect< Search for negligible risk entries.
To scan click the Next button.

When the scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose >select all< from the drop down menu and click Next)
————————————–
spybot search and destroy:

Spybot:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Install the program and launch it. A first time wizard should come up, follow it.

Go to Start > Programs >Spybot > Search & Destroy and choose Spybot S&D

Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D
Click the button to "Search for Updates" and download and install the Updates.
Next click the button "Check for Problems"
When Spybot is complete, it will be showing "RED" (RED) entries "BLACK" entries and "GREEN" (GREEN) entries in the window
Put a check mark beside the RED (RED) entries ONLY.
Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED (RED) entries.
——————————————-
run the above, reboot computer once and post a new hjt log

Hi…I have followed all your steps.

First, I checked through Add/Remove Programs control panel and see no sign of Spyware Cleaner. It was probably removed and might have left some lingering files.

Ad-Aware was run and found 18 objects. It quarantined them rather than removed them for some reason. Here is what it quarantined:

Spybot - Search & destroy was run and it found 3 instances. It said I had the 3 alerts of Windows Security Center disabled. Not sure it picked those up.

Finally, here is my new HiJackThis log:

hi SickKidd,

ok here we go.

After checking in the programs folder for Spyware Cleaner, I found no such folder again. Weird.

Here are the other reports for you to review. Hope I haven't forgotten anything.

hi SickKidd,

After checking in the programs folder for Spyware Cleaner, I found no such folder again. Weird.

its not showing up in the latest log. everything else looks good. did >you< add those sites to your trusted zone:

if not fire up hjt and have it fix these: if so, leave them.

O15 - Trusted Zone: http://www.neededware.com
O16 - DPF: NDWCab - http://www.neededware.com/ndw4.cab

hi SickKidd,

glad to help. rescan with hjt once more just to make sure those last 015,016 items are gone. if they dont show in the rescan great, if they do then post the rew log here. otherwise i leave you with this:

All it takes is a few changes:

Make sure you keep your Windows OS current by visiting Windows update
occasionaly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. With out these you are leaving the backdoor open.

Also download, install and keep updated- Antivirus Software (and use only one):
Free for home users:
avast! 4 Home Edition Download
AVG free version 7.0
AntiVir Personal Edition

Adjust your browser settings: Change your(active x) settings in IE. With IE open go to tools, internet options, security tab. Click on the internet globe, then custom level. Set the first option "download signed active x controls" to prompt, the next two to disable. Read more:
Internet Explorer Privacy & Security Settings
Working with Internet Explorer 6 Security
Many exploits are directed at Internet Explorer, you dont have to use it. Try a different browser.
Like Firefox,
And Pegasus Mail for a safer e-mail, no tweaking needed.

Outlook Express with the default settings is not secure. It will run scripts, download images etc, just like a browser.
look here
and here

Install a firewall. A firewall will control what comes in from the internet and what leaves your computer to the internet. A firewall will also alert you when a application trys to connect to the internet from your computer, this is a good way to catch crapware or trojans, trying to connect out bound from your computer- whats that and why does it need a internet connection? You can deny it access it until more investigation is done. Zone Alarm is a free and easy to use firewall, that will provide in and outbound protection. Microsoft XP firewall only provides inbound protection. SP2 adds in and out bound protection which is better than nothing, but is not as robust as third party firewalls, Be sure to run only >one< firewall.If you use another, be sure to disable XP's built in firewall. If you use Zone Alarm learn what needs/uses your internet connection. If something unusal or out of the ordinary "asks" deny it access until more investigation is done.
Zone Alarm
Kerio Personal Firewall
Outpost Firewall
Sygate Personal Firewall
Tiny Firewall
BlackIce

Download one or two of these, install and update before using:(if these are constantly finding malware, then you need to make changes to your browser and or your habits)
CounterSpy Free trial version
Spybot Search and destroy
Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Microsoft AntiSpyware (beta version)
Becarful with spyware "removers and scanners"– there are many "rogue/suspect" programs that "claim to remove" spyware.Check here first.

Other programs to consider:
Process Guard
SpywareBlaster
IE-SPYAD
CleanUp

AntiTrojan software to fill in the gap:
a2 free
Ewido Security Suite
Trojan Hunter (30 day trial version)
TDS-3 trail version discontinued as of 07/05
Tauscan trial version

Watch what you download, and where you download it from. Many programs come bundled with extra software. Make sure you understand what it is you will be downloading and installing to your computer. Visit the makers website, learn more about the program, Does the program you want come bundled with other "3rd party" programs? What do the 3rd party programs do? Will they deliver ads? Track your surfing habits?.You may be installing more than you think. Read the EULA agreement, you know, that paragraph of stuff you "agree to" before the software installs? If you search hard enough you can always find a "clean" alternative to any software. Stay away from warez and crack sites. Becarful what you download from file sharing networks. If you are not sure, scan it with your Antivirus app. A small file (in KB) is probably not what you think it is.

shelf life's File Sharing Tips:
Dont have it start with windows, if you see the icon it may be running
Dont run it 24/7
Limit bandwidth if possible
Dont share a huge amount of files
Random is good, stay out of sharing rooms
Scan downloads with Antivirus before launching
