Post #1
I have been reading this sites advice for removing spyware that is somehow getting past my internet security. I believe it started out as udefender and virusprotectpro. I have been going nuts trying to find this little bugger. It is basically hijacking my internet explorer which I typically don't use. I prefer to use Firefox as my browser for this exact reason. I receive multiple ongoing warnings to download their products argh! And they have taken over my desktop with their advertising.

I have used hijackthis to come up with a HJT scan. I will post those results.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have also read somewhere that once this trojan gets into your system it poses a potential security risk for possibly leaving a back door open. Any thoughts here?

Thanks again.

Running the Clean

Warning: running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.


Please print out or copy these instructions/tutorial to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process. Make sure to work through all the Steps in the exact order in which they are listed below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before moving on with the fixes.

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.
  • If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
  • Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
  • Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
  • Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
  • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
  • Login on your usual account.

The tool will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.
