Hi Jim, Yes, the F2 entry in HJT is gone now. Did you try and unselect the MyWebSearch toolbar by right clicking on it and deselecting it as I had suggested a couple of posts ago? Dave
Post #19
1. Download this file - combofix.exe
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.

I haven't heard from you so I've been exploring my registry and found mywebsearch in 5 different places, deleted them all and now it is GONE !!!!! Thank you thank you thank you for all your help and steering me into the registry is what got this accomplished. You guys are the best! Thanks again, Jim G

Hi Jim,

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner but it looks like you've been able to sort it out with the help of the combofix log. Good job :thumbup:

There is one other item in your CF log that shows New.Net was present at one point. This is likely a leftover as I don't see any other evidence in your uninstall list or HJT.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\New.net Startup]
"key"="SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run"
"item"="NEWDOT~1"
"hkey"="HKLM"
"command"="rundll32 C:\\PROGRA~1\\NEWDOT~1\\NEWDOT~1.DLL,NewDotNetStartup"
"inimapping"="0"

You may want to hunt and peck around for any entries relating to this item and delete them also.

Let me know if things are still going well (hopefully).

Dave

Sorry, I have been out of town for awhile………. Looks like we worked it out and it's gone for good and I also deleted that last item you mentioned in the registry. I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks again Dave, for all your help and advice. You guys ROCK !!! Jim G in SC

Hello Jim,

Glad to hear things are running better. I recommend you do the following:

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which may be infected anyway).

Click Start>Help and Support>Undo changes to your computer with System Restore
Select Create A Restore Point then click Next. Give it a name it and then click Create

Click Start>Run and type Cleanmgr
Click the More Options Tab.
Click Clean Up in the System Restore section.

Use ATF Cleaner to remove temp files, cookies, cache, ect…

Download ATF (Atribune Temp File) Cleaner© by Atribune to your desktop.

Double-click ATF Cleaner.exe to open it.

Under Main select the following:
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox:
Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.

Also, in addition to your current protection you may want to consider using some or all of the following:

Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Spybot: Search And Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers

Install Ad-Aware - Ad-Aware SE You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer

Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

Install SpywareGuard - SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using SpywareGuard to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

Update all of your Anti-Malware programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed and the ones you are currently running regularly. Without regular updates you Will Not be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Here is a great link to a post here on securing your PC after an attack.
http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?show…mp;#entry257163

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help.
