Hi It's 11.30pm here, so I'm off to bed Do you know what? I have been on-line now for hours and I haven't had one Casino 888 pop up !! I won't say any more than that, otherwise I might be tempting fate !! I'll see what happens tomorrow when I log on Thanks for all your help today and staying with me on this. You have inspired me enough with your 'never say die' attitude, that it's most likely now I won't re-format my hard drive now You made me feel like we will NEVER get beaten by these hacking B*******!! Anyway. Hope to read you in the morning Cheers for now Paul

Good morning!
What a GREAT message from you to greet me this morning!!
I've switched on, and been on a while, and guess what? NO Casinos in sight !!!!

You call me Little Eagle?? No Way! or maybe a Falcon in training, I will accept :-)
I have learned at lot from you. it has been an amazing adventure. A long road on which I nearly fell at one point!!

YOU are NOT a Little Eagle, you should change this name to Bold Eagle!! Fearless is what you have been in this whole campaign! You beat 'em - kill 'em as I originally requested!
I can't thank you enough!! really, it's been a real pleasure. Thank you. I will be telling this story for months even years to come!

Anyone reading this. See? see what he done!! If Little Eagle is on your case, pay him respect, NEVER write a critcial comment if things are taking time!
Listen and learn, and do as you are told, and he will save your stress and save your pc
In my view he carries the highest commendation in the fight against the evil ones! He's a friend of mine!

All the very best
Paul

Download 3S http://www.igorshpak.net/

Before running it. See if this file is there I know hijackthis says it is not.

C:\DOCUME~1\paul\LOCALS~1\Temp\PDAYZH.exe


Please set your system to show
all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.


Here are the directions for creating a zip file For Windows XP:
Using Windows Explorer, locate the first file you want to zip.
Right click on the file and select Send To and Compressed (zipped) Folder.
Right click any other files you want to compress and select Copy.
Right click on the compressed folder and select Paste. The copied files will be compressed and pasted in.

Please upload the zip file if you can if you can't then upload the the files without zipping. here

Then run 3S post another log.

May not be in the system. One of the best features of Windows XP is the System Restore option, however if a virus infects a computer with this operating system the virus can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is necessary after a virus removal. To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account. 1. Turn off System Restore. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer. Click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. Check Turn off System Restore. Click Apply, and then click OK. 2. Reboot. 3. Turn ON System Restore. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer. Click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*. Click Apply, and then click OK. Make a restore point after you clean it out. first backup Backup your Registry… - Press "CTRL - ALT - DEL" keys all at the same time to start "Task Manager" - In the Task Manager window click on "File", then from the drop-down menu select "New Task (Run…)" - In the "Create New Task" window enter\type "regedit" (without quotes) - Once Regedit opens click on the FILE menu and select Export - Save the file as backup. Save the file somewhere you will remember and not delete. IMPORTANT: make sure to set the export range to ALL second backup. Then download RegSeeker . Extract it to it's own folder, open and double click RegSeeker.exe to start the program. Maximize the window and click clean registry. Check all sections and click OK. When the scan is complete, verify the backup box in lower left corner is checked and click the select all button, then select all again. Then right click within the search results and select delete. Reboot and make sure your programs are working properly, control panel and add/remove programs windows open, etc (basically just do a quick check of everything). In the event anything was 'broken', you can open RegSeeker, click backups and double click any/all files to put the information back. A reboot may be required for the effects to be seen. Reboot When done.

Hi Paul I have completed all your taks, and I can't see anything that's not working properly. In fact, I think boot up was a lot faster!! I did have a blue screen crash on the turn Off System Restore re-boot with message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL but this might not be an issue? What now greatest friend ever? Maker of new machines? WHat does the Wizard want his apprentice to do now? :) Best regards Paul
