Hi xangelx,

Yes your HijackThis log looks a lot better now

just a couple of things left to check:

Open Notepad: press Start, type notepad into the search box and press OK
Select Format from the top menu and make sure Word Wrap is NOT checked.
Then, copy/paste the contents of the following code box into Notepad:

@echo off
dir "C:\ProgramData\test mix audio" /a /s >> results.txt 2>>&1
dir "C:\ProgramData\each new axis love" /a /s >> results.txt 2>>&1
del runme.bat

Select File and Save as
Save it to your Desktop as "runme.bat" (you MUST type the quotes)
Locate runme.bat on your Desktop, right-click it and choose Run as administrator
A black box should open and close after a short time, this is normal.
Another text file should appear on your Desktop called results.txt, do not open it until the black box has closed.
Post the contents of this file in your next response.

Once complete, please post the results.txt output and let me know how if you had any trouble with the instructions. Also, tell me how your computer is behaving.

hi silver, the black box did open and close by itself but i don't see any results.txt

Post #19March 2, 2008, 1:02 AM UTC

I'm sorry that didn't work as expected, please try this revised version:

Open Notepad: press Start, type notepad into the search box and press OK
Select Format from the top menu and make sure Word Wrap is NOT checked.
Then, copy/paste the contents of the following code box into Notepad:

@echo off
dir "C:\ProgramData\test mix audio" /a /s > results2.txt 2>>&1
dir "C:\ProgramData\each new axis love" /a /s >> results2.txt 2>>&1
notepad results2.txt
del results2.txt

Select File and Save as
Save it to your Desktop as "runme.bat" (you MUST type the quotes)
Locate runme.bat on your Desktop, right-click it and choose Run as administrator

This time, Notepad should open with the results, copy and paste them into your response and then close the Notepad window.
Also, please tell me how your computer is running now.

hi silver thanks for all your help. your the best

also do i enable windows defender now? my comp is working fine now. it looks much cleaner?

silver

Post #23March 2, 2008, 4:06 AM UTC

Hi xangelx,

I'm glad to hear things are running better and I think your machine is clean of malware

Yes we should now re-enable Windows Defender:

Re-enable Windows Defender real-time protection:

Open Start->All Programs->Windows Defender
Click on Tools from the top menu, then press Options
Scroll down to Real-time protection options, check Use real-time protection and press Save
Close Windows Defender

Here are some tips to help you keep your computer clean:

I recommend you install a custom hosts file such as MVPS HOSTS. This custom hosts file effectively blocks a wide range of unwanted ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.
For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial by WinHelp2002
Note: Be sure to follow the instructions to disable the DNS Client service before installing a custom hosts file.
Also: subscribe to the mailing list to get update notifications.

Please take care when downloading programs. One of the easiest ways to be infected is to download freeware/shareware programs which come laden with malware - this includes allowing websites to install browser plug-ins or ActiveX controls. Before downloading, it is crucial to check whether the source is reputable.
One way to check is to use McAfee SiteAdvisor. Copy the domain name into the space provided and SiteAdvisor will give you a report on the website which can help you decide if it is safe. They also have a toolbar for IE and Firefox which adds this functionality to your browser.

Download and install the free version of WinPatrol. This program protects your computer in a variety of ways and will work well with your existing security software. Have a look at this tutorial to help you get started with the program.
