Hi starscream34. I need to take some time to look over your Hijack This log to come up with a fix. Please remember that I am an undergraduate which means I need to have my posts to you checked by a teacher or moderator to make sure I'm giving you the proper instructions. This process won't take long and I thank you for your patience. I'll be back with you soon.

Hi starscream34. Please follow the instructions below:

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download FixWareout from below:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

When your system reboots, follow the prompts. Afterwards, launch Hijack This. Please click Scan, and check the following items:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{0DAB9666-38AE-4AEB-974A-2C1F5EAB3D6D}: NameServer = 85.255.113.125,85.255.112.92

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{3DDBCA98-6118-440C-96E2-C1D0505CD428}: NameServer = 85.255.113.125,85.255.112.92
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{D012D262-653A-429E-812D-35BD0F18DB81}: NameServer = 85.255.113.125,85.255.112.92
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.113.125 85.255.112.92
O17 - HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.113.125 85.255.112.92
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.113.125 85.255.112.92

Click Fix Checked. Close HijackThis, and click OK to proceed.

Go to Start > Run, enter cmd and click OK.
  • At the Dos Prompt Screen, type in cd\ and then press .
  • Now type in ipconfig /flushdns and then press . (notice the space after ipconfig)
  • Close the command prompt window.
Next go to Start -> Control Panel, and choose Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually Local Area Connection or Dial-up Connection if you are using Dial-up, and left click on properties. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio button that says Obtain DNS servers automatically. Click OK twice, and restart your computer.

Finally, please post the contents of the logfile C:\fixwareout\report.txt, along with a new HijackThis log.

Hi starscream. The Fixwareout log didn't show anything which is a bit odd. If you could please run the program again but before you do please disable Symantec Anti-Virus by right clicking on the tray icon and then select disable auto protect. Also disable Spysweeper according to the below instructions:

To disable SpySweeper:
Open Spysweeper and click >Options over to the left then >program options >Uncheck "load at windows startup".
Over to the left click "shields" and uncheck all there.
Uncheck "home page shield".
Uncheck "automatically restore default without notifiction".
Then run the Fixwareout program again according to the previous instructions.

After the program runs please run Hijack This again and have it do a system scan only. Put a check (tick) next to the following entries:

O9 - Extra button: PartyCasino.com - {B4B52284-A248-4c51-9F7C-F0A0C67FCC9D} - E:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyCasino\RunCasino.exe (file missing)

Close all other browsers/windows and click Fix Checked. Close Hijack This.

Please re-enable Spysweeper and Symantec auto protect now.

Next I would like you to run a Panda Active Scan. Instructions below:

- A new window will open…click the Check Now button

- 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 save the report to your desktop so you can find it easily.

Finally we need to run a full scan with AVG Anti-Spyware. Instructions below:
