Hello and Welcome to the forum.

This is what I suggest you do.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.

Go here and run the online scan, allow it to delete whatever it finds:

Panda ActiveScan

Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
[*]A new window will open…click the Check Now button

[*]Enter your Country

[*]Enter your State/Province

[*]Enter your e-mail address and click send

[*]Select either Home User or Company

[*]Click the big Scan Now button

[*]If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it

[*]It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)

[*]When download is complete, click on Local Disks to start the scan

[*]When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.


Note any thing that can't be fixed

Reboot when done.


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

You have quite a collection.

I suggest you do this:

You need to Disable AdWatch it can stop our fix.

Please disable AdWatch, as it may hinder the removal of some entries. You can re-enable it after you're clean.
To disable AdWatch:
Open AdAware SE.
Go to AdWatch User Interface.
Go to Tools and Preferences.
At the bottom of the screen you will see 2 options Active and Automatic.
Active: This will turn Ad-Watch On\Off without closing it
Automatic: Suspicious activity will be blocked automatically
Uncheck both options. You can enable these after resolving your problem.


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


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.


Go to Start > Run and type in Services.msc then click OK

Click the Extended tab.

Scroll down until you find RemoteRegBck or regsvc.exe

Click once on the service to highlight it.

Click Stop

Right-Click on the service.

Click on 'Properties'

Select the 'General' tab

Click the Arrow-down tab on the right-hand side on the 'Start-up Type' box

From the drop-down menu, click on 'Disabled'

Click the 'Apply' tab, then click 'OK'

The service is now stopped and disabled.



1.Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2.Next, open Add/Remove Programs and remove if listed:

Good Job :thumbup:

Log looks good :D :thumbup: How is it running any issues?


You need to create a new Clean restore point.

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 programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard. 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. :D

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