CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://searchbar.findthewebsiteyouneed.com

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://searchbar.findthewebsiteyouneed.com

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.findthewebsiteyouneed.com

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://searchbar.findthewebsiteyouneed.com

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://searchbar.findthewebsiteyouneed.com

O23 - Service: Command Service (cmdService) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\RmFtaWx5\command.exe (file missing)

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

Now, please go to:

Start –> Run

In the box type in services.msc then hit < Enter > (or click OK)

In the Name column look for:

Command Service (cmdService)

< Double-click > it.

In the dialogue box that pops up, check in the Path to executable box.

It should say: C:\WINDOWS\RmFtaWx5\command.exe

That's how to be sure you have the right one.

Now, click Stop to stop that rogue process.

In the Startup type box, change it to Disabled.

Click Apply then OK

Close the services.msc window.

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Delete all of the following noted (in red) file(s)/FOLDER(s) you can find:

C:\WINDOWS\RmFtaWx5 <— FOLDER

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis! log file into this thread. :)

The log looks good. :thumbup:

Your Java needs updated:

The latest version out is jre1.5.0_07

After updating you must remove previous versions via "Add/Remove Programs".

jre1.5.0_07 update link

I noticed these:

O23 - Service: Automatic LiveUpdate Scheduler - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\ALUSchedulerSvc.exe (file missing)

O23 - Service: LiveUpdate - Unknown owner - C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\LIVEUP~1\LUCOMS~1.EXE (file missing)

Looks like some "leftovers" from an Norton uninstall.

If you want to remove them permanantly do this:

Fix these with HijackThis!:

O23 - Service: Automatic LiveUpdate Scheduler - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\ALUSchedulerSvc.exe (file missing)

O23 - Service: LiveUpdate - Unknown owner - C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\LIVEUP~1\LUCOMS~1.EXE (file missing)

Now,please go to:

Start –> Run

In the box type in services.msc then hit (or click OK)

In the Name column in the next screen look for:

Automatic LiveUpdate Scheduler

it.

In the dialogue box that pops up, check in the Path to executable box.

It should say: C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\ALUSchedulerSvc.exe

That's how to be sure you have the right one.

Now, click Stop to stop that process.

In the Startup type box, change it to Disabled.

Click Apply then OK

In the Name column look for:

LiveUpdate

it.

In the dialogue box that pops up, check in the Path to executable box.

It should say: C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\LuComServer_3_0.EXE

That's how to be sure you have the right one.

Now, click Stop to stop that process.

In the Startup type box, change it to Disabled.

Click Apply then OK

Close the services.msc window.

Reboot.

That should do it.

Thank you for choosing TomCoyote for your malware removal solutions.
