2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


Then please run Ewido, click on the Scanner run a full scan and let it clean everything it finds. Save the logfile from the scan.


While still in Safe Mode:

Hi, and thanks again,

I ran VundoFix.exe and no infections were found.

I was also unable to delete a file from the windows/temp folder (hsperfdata_SYSTEM/1132).

Between when you last helped me and your most recent post, I ran Spyware Doctor and that seemed to help things somewhat. Before that, AVG and ewidow kept alerting me to stuff that it couldn't remove. Now that seems to have stopped. However, msconfig still shows me that a startup item called sltmsr is running, and I can't get rid of it. Also, it may just be my imagination, but Firefox is freezing every once in a while, and I don't think that it usually does.

Thanks again.

[LDTate]

I suggest you do this:

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [oafgt] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sltmsr.exe reg_run


Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


Delete these Files if listed:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sltmsr.exe



Restart your computer.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

[YehudaF]

Well, I'm not quite sure what happened since my last post, but everything seems to be fine. msconfig doesn't show any unwanted startup items running, and to my untrained eyes, HJT seems clean as well. If that's the case, and we're done, I just wanted to thank you, 'cause there's no way I could've done it without you.

Good Job

use Add/Remove Programs and remove Ewido and Spysweeper unless you want to keep them. They're only a 14 day trial version.


Log looks good How is it running any issues?

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points

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.

Restart your computer, turn it back on.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Remove the Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.





If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
