Hello my soon to be Heroes and Heroines!
Thank you Tom for this resource.
After experiencing what I interpreted as a pc possessed I went searching for a solution, a support group, or a priest and found this forum. After reading several postings and replies, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't a demon but rather some malicious (same difference) S.T.D.-software transmitted demon. So I did what I thought others were being advised to do and downloaded Hijackthis to a file in my harddrive, unzipped it, scanned my system, and pasted a copy below. Could you PLEASE do your miricles and part this sea of technical YaYa for me?
I have 300 students and my grades are due Monday morning!

Click here to download the Peper removal tool. Double click on 'uninst.exe', let it run and terminate. You must be online to have this work and do not block any attempts for the program to connect to internet if your firewall asks permission. Reboot when done.

Then click here to download CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. Reboot when done.

Finally, 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.

Click here, for instructions on how to enable hidden files and folders to be visible. After enabling, find, and send this folder:

C:\Program Files\DR_S\

for examination to this e-mail address including a link to this thread in the body of the email.

Create a new folder called C:\HijackThis, move the HijackThis.exe file into the new folder and run it from there. This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong and avoids them cluttering up your desktop.

Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly (print this page). Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

Reboot into safe mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded, find and delete the following:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\STC\SQ_3394_3222.EXESQInstaller.exe
C:\WINDOWS\qdatad.exe

Reboot back into normal mode. Click here to get the latest version of Internet Explorer. Click here to make sure that you have the latest Critical Update patches for Windows. It's very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Rescan with HJT and post a new log here for a final check over.
Post #5
Overlooked these, have HJT fix these entries also:

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
O8 - Extra context menu item: >>> FREE PORN GALLERIES <<< - javascript:{document.location='http://sexmaxx.com/freegalleries.htm';}
Post #6
Thanks for that file - I have examined it and it is Adshooter. Please delete it from your system. Post a new HJT log to check that you got it all.
Post #7
I could not locate the two below. I tried several avenues and searched for them also. What now? Reboot into safe mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded, find and delete the following: C:\PROGRAM FILES\STC\SQ_3394_3222.EXESQInstaller.exe C:\WINDOWS\qdatad.exe

It's A Miricle! It is running much much better. It still has brief periods of constipated thoughts. I will get those updates. Is there anyother maitanence and/or preventative measures I can take or should? I really, really, appreciate all the time you have spent in rescueing me. I don't know what I would have done. As it was, I have been struggling with this for weeks and it just kept getting worse. Thank You and Have a great week. Donnie
