I'm finally downloading Hijackthis but i don't know how to use it, i have tried every self help you can use on the web and even purchased many programs (i don't have 2 antiviruses at the same time i know that is not recommended.) So i am at my last straw! i need help. My computer has slowed down excessively. Every time i open up explorer i get popups such as "winantispyware2007" and "drivercleaner" and sometimes things like "you have visited adult web sites" appear on my computer or things like "myspace user". i also recieve many other ad's such as "primosearch", "findmydreammate", and "abcsearch". Norton says that it removed the Vundo trojan and i even used the vundofix, so i really don't know what is going on…please help!!

Is this your machine and are there any other users on it ?

Did you know you had a keylogger on this machine ?
Called
Keycoder Keylogger ?



I need to know this answer. It will determine what we do next.

___________________________
Please download the OTMoveIt by OldTimer.
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please double-click OTMoveIt.exe to run it.
  • Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):


    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddcyywt.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\gett32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Cddsvc.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\mlljg.exe
    C:\VundoFix Backups

  • Return to OTMoveIt, right click on the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be moved" window and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Copy everything on the Results window to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it on your next reply.
*If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately, you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine, choose Yes.
  • Close OTMoveIt
**If a reboot was necessary or you needed to Exit before posting the log, you will find a copy of the log at the root of the drive where OTMoveIt is installed, usually at :
C:\\_OTMoveIt\\MovedFiles\\********_******.log
(where "********_******" is the "date_time")

In your next reply I would like to see:

I want you to go to control Panel/Add/remove programs and uninstall
MalwareBot.
It has a questionable reputation.

before i uninstall it i want you to know i did purchased malewarebot online so should i still uninstall it?
Post #10 last edited
Lets hold off on uninstalling it for a bit. I'll look into it deeper. I did see were a very well respected helper had it removed from a log for that reason. Also not to worry about that keylogger. Looks as if a file I thought was part of a key logger is part of spyCatcher. Both are now from the same company. Please post the uninstall list and let me know how things seem to be running now.

At this point i haven't recieved any popups or any sign of a virus since i used combofix (thank you)!! i'm sorry im a little slow with computers, exactly how do i post the uninstall list?

open CCleaner as if you were going to use it.


click on tools button on the lef
highlight/click uninstall (top left) and a long list of programs will pop up.

down on the bottom right click save to text file.

A new window will open.
Were it says "save in" click on the little arrow and choose desktop.
That will save it to your desktop.

On your desktop now will be a file called install.txt

Now copy the contents of that log and post
the contents
of that log for me.
