  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.

Hi pickboy,
We have a few preliminaries, then we can start cleaning your malware.
  • GET AN ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM! I see that you are running Zone Alarm's firewall, but I don't see an anti-virus program. Before we do anything, you need to get an antivirus installed.
    It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. See this link for a listing of some on line & their stand-alone anti virus programs:
    Computer Safety On line - Anti-Virus
    It is imperitive that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  • MOVE HIJACK THIS! Hijack This works best when it lives in its own dedicated folder. It's currently running from your temp folder, which means that any back ups it creates are in danger of being deleted.
    Please browse to:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$EX37.984\HijackThis.exe
    Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Copy.
    Now, browse to:
    C:\Programs Files and create a folder called Hijack This by right clicking and selecting New >> Folder
    Open your new folder named Hijack This. Right click in the Hijack This folder and select Paste.
    Please run HijackThis from this location from now on.
  • You appear to be running BETA versions of SP2 for Windows XP and IE. After we get your computer cleaned, you should update them to the versions available from Windows Update. I'll post more about this later.
  • Let's do one more scan after you've completed the above tasks.
    Please download AVG Anti-Spyware to your Desktop or to your usual Download Folder.
    http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
    • Install AVG Anti-Spyware by double clicking the installer.
    • Follow the prompts. Make sure that Launch AVG Anti-Spyware is checked.
    • On the main screen under Your Computer's security.
      • Click on Change state next to Resident shield. It should now change to inactive.
      • Click on Change state next to Automatic updates. It should now change to inactive.
      • Next to Last Update, click on Update now. (You will need an active internet connection to perform this)
      • Wait until you see the Update succesfull message.
    • Right-click the AVG Anti-Spyware Tray Icon and uncheck Start with Windows.
    • Right-click the AVG Anti-Spyware Tray Icon and select Exit. Confirm by clicking Yes.
    If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update AVG Anti-Spyware.
    AVG Anti-Spyware manual updates.
    Download the Full database to your Desktop or to your usual Download Folder and install it by double clicking the file. Make sure that AVG Anti-Spyware is closed before installing the update.
    Close ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders. Please start AVG Anti-Spyware and run a full scan.
    • Click on Scanner on the toolbar.
    • Click on the Settings tab.
      • Under How to act?
      • Click on Recommended Action and choose Quarantine from the popup menu.
    • Under How to scan?
      • All checkboxes should be ticked.
    • Under Possibly unwanted software:
      • All checkboxes should be ticked.
    • Under Reports:
      • Select Automatically generate report after every scan and uncheck Only if threats were found.
    • Under What to scan?
      • Select Scan every file.
  • Click on the Scan tab.
  • Click on Complete System Scan to start the scan process.
  • Let the program scan the machine.
  • When the scan has finished, follow the instructions below.
    IMPORTANT : Don't click on the "Save Scan Report" button before you did hit the "Apply all Actions" button.
    • Make sure that Set all elements to: shows Quarantine (1), if not click on the link and choose Quarantine from the popup menu. (2)
    • At the bottom of the window click on the Apply all Actions button. (3)
      [external image: Posted Image]
  • When done, click the Save Scan Report button. (4)
    • Click the Save Report as button.
    • Save the report to your Desktop.
  • Right-click the AVG Anti-Spyware Tray Icon and select Exit. Confirm by clicking Yes.
Reboot in Normal Mode.
After you've completed all of the above steps, please post back with your AVG-AntiSpyware log and a new HijackThis Log.
Thanks,
FencerGirl
