Hello hihi

Sorry to keep you waiting…

Copy and Paste this post into a new text document or print it out for reference.

Step 1

Before we can continue I would like you to Move HijackThis into It's own folder,
I recommend placing this in the C: drive, enabling any backup we make to be stored safely

Open My Computer ( Windows key + E )
then double click on Local Disk ©
Now right click and select
New > Folder and name it HJT.

Please now move HijackThis.exe from your Desktop into the new HJT folder.


Step 2

Please download Hoster
Unzip Hoster.zip, Then Click on Hoster.exe
Then click on "Restore Original Hosts", Close program when complete


Then Re-Scan with HijackThis and place a "checkmark" next to these entries:

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0BF43445-2F28-4351-9252-17FE6E806AA0} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mcinfo_1158304835] C:\DOCUME~1\minster\LOCALS~1\Temp\mcinfo_1158304835.exe /insfin
O20 - Winlogon Notify: efcdcay - efcdcay.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: winhdn32 - winhdn32.dll (file missing)

Make sure all browser and all Windows Explorer windows are closed and select "Fix checked". Exit Hijack This


Step 3

Download Ewido Anti-Spyware
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

The program should launch automatically after installation. If not, double-click the desktop icon.

Deactivate the "Ewido Resident Shield" as this may prevent changes to the registry.
To do this, click "Change State" to the right of the Resident Shield option in the main window.
You will clearly see the status change to Inactive if you have done this correctly.

Now Update Ewido
click the "Update" icon from the main menu.
Then click the "Start Update" button.
When you receive the "Update successful" prompt, close Ewido.
Note: If you have any problems with the updater, you can Update Ewido Manually.
Do not Scan with this yet!

Please Reboot your System into Safe Mode Shut down your system, then Restart your computer
as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8 from the menu select the option to enter Safe Mode

Clean your Cache and Cookies in IE:
Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > General tab.
Click the "Delete Cookies" button and then the "Delete Files" button next to it.
When prompted, place a check in: "Delete all offline content", click OK.

Clean other Temporary files + Recycle bin:
Go to start > run and type: cleanmgr and click ok.
Let it scan your system for files to remove.
Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
Press OK to remove them.

Reopen Ewido Anti-Spyware and click the "Scanner" icon from the main menu.
Click "Complete System Scan" to start scanning.
When the scan completes, click "Recommended action" beneath the results window and select "Quarantine".
Then click the "Apply all actions" button to quarantine everything detected.
Then click Save report > Save report as and save the Report-Scan.txt to your desktop.
Then Reboot back into Normal Mode


Step 4

Please Update your Sun Java console - You must Uninstall All old versions of Java first as they are a security threat if left installed. Close any programmes you may have running, ESPECIALLY your web browser. Then using Add/Remove Select any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in the name and uninstall.

Then Reboot your computer…

Now CLICK HERE select the Download button next to "J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 8"

"Accept" the License Agreement Then choose the First download link "Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language". Please note - You must Install this version Offline.
