Thanks for sending your information. We are sorry for the delay in responding. The volunteers here are swamped and unfortunately not all logs get answered as quickly as we'd like.

If you still need help with your problem, please run Hijack This again. Scan and copy the log, then post it here, in this topic . We do need to see a current logfile.

To post, please use the Post Reply feature, so I will be notified.

Please provide a description of the problem.

Please do not edit your Hijack This log. We need to see the entire logfile, with no revisions.

[DFrav]

Thanks for the reply. I actually had to recover my laptop from this virus or spyware. Whatever it was it froze my computer completely and it wouldn't start back up correctly. My Computer would start but no programs would open. It was constantly thinking. I Think it was spyware trying to sell me spyware removal programs. My desktop was stuck with a warning sign on it telling me that my computer was infected with spyware. Also, there was a popup from my toolbar that said windows had detected spyware and I should click there to download updates. My assumption was that the download would be viruses or more spyware, so I didn't click it. It would pop up every 30 seconds no matter how many times I closed it. Anyway thats just a small rundown of what happened. If you are interested in seeing the log file from before I recovered, I think i saved it on my PC. may be useful in helping someone else that has a similar experience. Thanks.

[Piatan]

Hi DFrav

I would rather see a fresh Hijack This logfile. These things sometimes remain, even after wiping your HD.

It sounds like a familiar bit of Malware, which we have had success removing. Anyway, it would give you a chance to be sure everything is right.

Please run Hijack This. Scan and Copy the log, then post it in this topic.

Please use the Post Reply feature to post, so I will be notified.

[DFrav]

Ok, I will post a fresh HiJack this log tonight when I get home from work. Thanks for your help.

[DFrav]

Piatan,
Here is my log. Thanks for your help. If there is anything else you need, let me know. By the way, I am running WinXP Home on a Sony Vaio PCG-GRZ630 Laptop.

Hi DFrav;

I see nothing in your HJT logfile that should be causing serious problems.

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

Close all Windows leaving only HijackThis running.

Place a check against each of the following.:

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

Click on Fix Checked when finished.

Reboot into Safe Mode: please see here if you are not sure how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders shown DARK and delete them:

C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

Then, please reboot

Since we removed no Malware, setting a new restore point probably is not necessary. This is placed here so you will be sure to know how should the need arise. The protection programs below that are highly recommended, to protect your laptop in the future.

One of the best features of Windows XP is the System Restore option, however if Malware infects a computer with this operating system the Malware 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.

(winXP)

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.

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  
  Download the new Ad-Aware SE version, and follow the instructions on how to do a full scan: http://forums.spywar...showtopic=11150
  -reboot after using Ad-Aware SE. Also while there get the VX2 plugin and follow the instructions to run it also.
  
• How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.

To protect yourself further:

• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
• Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

I also suggest that you delete any files from "temp", "tmp" folders. In Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" => "Internet Options" => "Delete Files" and select the box that says "Delete All Offline Content" and click on "OK" twice. Also, empty the recycle bin by right clicking on it and selecting "Empty Recycle Bin". These steps should be done on a regular basis.

And also see TonyKlein's good advice
http://castlecops.co...tlite7736-.html
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Safe surfing.
