Resolved - at least as far as I can tell. I tried Vundo remover earlier with no success, but now it work, probably a new version, or my PC was just quirky. Good riddance. If new pop-up pop up I'll return, but so far, no problems.

I'm having a quite persistent problem with Winantivirus pro 2006 adware on my system (no, I didn't install that carp**, I guess I somehow caught it via a downloader/trojan that snuck past my virus scanner - later that day I got an alert regarding an infection, had it cleaned out, updated the AV, did a full system scan with negative result)

Here's my Hjiack this! log:

I must also note that I have that obnoxious jkhhg.dll as an "add on" in IE, disabeling it does not really work (turns itself back on upon startup) and deletion seems to work neither (deletion while Win XP runs get the "file is in use" message, deletion upon startup yields no results) It also has dug its roots into the registry, under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{37393346-541B-42A8-ABEE-B21625464A58}\InprocServer32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\{37393346-541B-42A8-ABEE-B21625464A58}\InprocServer32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\jkhhg

Any help given would be greatly appreciated (though if worst comes to worst I'll just flatten the OS and rebuild)

Addendum: I tried both, adaware and spyboth search & destroy - neither found indication of any culprit, my AV is up-to-date and I have a firewall running (ZoneAlarm).

Welcome to the forum :wavey:

Download VundoFix.exe to your desktop from here:

VundoFix.exe

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

1. Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
2. Click the Scan for Vundo button.
3. Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
4. If it doesn't find anything, in the main program window, choose "Add more files?". Type this in the box EXACTLY AS SHOWN:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkhhg.dll

Click Close Window, then Remove Vundo.

4. You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES.
5. Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
6. When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
7. Turn your computer back on.

Post a new HijackThis! log, along with the contents of this file:

I accidently deleted the Vundo Log (meh >_< ) but repeat runs of VundoFix showed no more infection.
Also I haven't seen the pop-up in a long while. I think (hope) I've got rid of it. Yay :)

Close all browsers.

Fix these wth HijackThis!:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4DFB1512-1253-4ADE-9977-9B937605B939} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkhhg.dll (file missing)

O20 - Winlogon Notify: winzwr32 - winzwr32.dll (file missing)

Reboot.

Post a new HijackThis! log into this thread.
