I cannot delete this trojan & I have something that continuously downloads these types of trojans to my computer. I have run AVAST, Adaware, Spybot, PC Doctor, AD Defeneder,etc. Please help me figure this out. Thank you.

hi, dont see anything in the log. you have to many antimalware apps. 2 is plenty along with one antivirus. what one is telling you that you have a trojan?
Post #3
When I ran AVG Spyware it notified me of it. The subcategories showed 4 Registry entries. I know I shouldn't have that many programs, but I did it out of desperation. I am just trying to find anything that will rid my computer of whatever is going on. It seems like each program will find something different. I didn't have that many until a couple of weeks ago when my problems started.

hi,

first we will use hjt. then boot to safe mode to look for some files. before using hjt its a good idea to disable any real time protection you have running like AVG's guard or spybots tea timer and any others:

AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly ewido)

Launch AVG Anti-Spyware and in the main window click "Realtime protection" (in green indicating "Active") to change to inactive.

and probably Browser Hijack Blaster, now called SpywareGuard 2.2. not sure how to disable that one. look in system tray for its icon if present, click on icon for options/preferences etc to exit or disable it.
————————————————
start HJT, click "Do a system scan only" put a checkmark beside the items below, close all windows and click "fix checked".


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {B9847EB3-912F-4985-8990-5235B65BAB87} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\adsldpci.dll

ok now we will boot into safe mode and look for some files. you might want to copy/paste this into notepad and save it so you can find it in safe mode.
to reach safe mode you would tap the f8 key during a computer restart, chose the first option from the list safe mode.
ok once at the safe mode desk top:

right click on start>explore and navigate to the C:windows\system32 dir
you are looking for:
adsldpci.dll and sprt_ads.dll

see if you can find and delete them. while you are in safe mode go ahead and run spyware doctor and spybot.
——————————————–
reboot computer normally and do a online scan here:
ESET online scanner:

http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/

uses Internet Explorer only
check "YES" to accept terms
click start button
allow the ActiveX component to install
click the start button. the Scanner will update.
check both "Remove found threats" and "Scan unwanted applications"
click scan
when done you can find the scan log at:C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
please copy/paste that log in next reply.
————————————————
post a new hjt log and the online scan .txt please.
