Hi,

Please help! I have malware on my pc and have been unable to get rid of it. Popups keep coming onto the screen every 1-2 minutes. I've tried 3 different anti-virus/adware software and none of it has been able to get rid of it. I used HijackThis and I'm not sure what to do from here. The log is below. Thank you for any help you can provide!!!

Just have HJT fix this one:

If you have any questions - please post back

I'll leave you with……..

Some Preventive Maintenance:

Some of the programs you may have run create backups of what was deleted - you can safely delete them now: (delete folders in blue) You can also delete/uninstall the programs themselves.

C:\!KillBox (KillBox)
C:\VundoFix Backups (VundoFix)
C:\QooBox (ComboFix)
C:\SDFix\backups\backups.zip (SDFix)
C:\avenger\backup.zip (Avenger)

If you used AVG Anti-Spyware and/or SuperAntiSpyware………..

Open up SuperAntiSpyware > Preferences > General and Start-up > Start-up Options > Uncheck > Start SAS when Windows Starts.
"SAS free" provides no real time protection so there's no need for it to be running, I suggest you keep the program and update regularly - you can use it to scan for malware. It's an excellent program. When you want to start it - just double click on the SAS icon.

AVG Anti-Spyware will provide 30 days of real time protection and then after that you can use it to scan for malware - you'll have to manually update it first.


——————Must have or do:—————–

Now that you're clean: <—-Important Step!!!!

Reduce Online Fraud

Don't open e-mail attachments without first scanning them with an up-to-date anti virus program, even after doing that I would be very careful. Don't click on any executables in e-mails or any other links that you're not sure of.
Don't believe e-mails from your bank, financial institution, etc asking for personal informations - they're most likely fraudulent no matter how authentic they look.
Watch your surfing habits, don't click on or download anything you're not sure of. Don't install a program that hasn't been recommended by a reputable organization.
