I thought Webscanner was another program, sorry...

[Blade81]

Well congrats, it appears your system is all clean Are you still noticing any problems? If not, it's time to secure your system to prevent against further intrusions.


THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
NOTE: only do this ONCE,NOT on a regular basis



Replace Microsoft Java with Sun Java. Instructions


UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

• Comodo BOCLEAN <= Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
• Download Adaware
  Adaware is a free program. It scans for known spyware on your computer. These scans should be run at least once every two weeks. For more information, see this tutorial
  The program is available for download here
• Download Spybot
  Spybot is a scanner like adaware. It scans for spyware and other malicious programs. It is important to have both Adaware and Spybot on your computer because each program provides unique detection and pretection measures. Spybot has preventitive tools that stop programs from even installing on your computer.
  To see how to set this up as well as more spybot features, see here
  Spybot can be downloaded at this location
• Download SpywareBlaster
  Spyware blaster is a program that stops known malicious activex controls from installing on your computer. It works by changing settings in your registry. It makes
  kill bits
  in the registry, so that certain activex controls can't install.
  If you don't know what activex controls are, see here
  You can download SpywareBlaster here here
  SpywareBlaster tutorial
  
• Download iespyad
  It puts many bad webpages on your restricted zones list. This means that you can still view the
  bad
  webpages, but the webpages cannot do certain things (such as use javascripts and cookies).
  If you need help understanding how it works, there is a tutorial here
  Download it here
  
• hosts file:
  
  • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
  • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
  • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
  • However, it can slow down certain computers.
  • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
  
  Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
  If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
  
  2. Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
  3. Click run
  4. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  5. hit enter, then locate dns client
  6. Highlight it, then double-click it.
  7. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  8. Click ok
  
  

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.


Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade

Blade, before I follow these next steps didnt Kaspersky scan indicate 4 viruses and 12 infected folders? Also, I had Norton Internet Security on while I did the scans, is that ok? Please advise before I proceed and I cant thank you enough for all your help!!

You can delete those. I haven't used System Mechanic so can't give you instructions for this. However, I guess there's function in System Mechanic to clean those.

[spydyr550]

I deleted the Iolo folder from Program Files because I dont use system mechanic any more. I hope deleting it manually doesnt screw anything up. Anyway, thank you very much for helping me!

[spydyr550]

1 last thing, I followed your instructions to remove Java and I couldnt find a INF folder in windows to remove that 1 java file. I have removed everything else though. Can you help me find it? Thanks again!

[Blade81]

Hi

1 last thing, I followed your instructions to remove Java and I couldnt find a INF folder in windows to remove that 1 java file. I have removed everything else though. Can you help me find it? Thanks again!

There may not necessarily be all those files meantioned in instructions. So, if you can't find C:\WINDOWS\inf folder then skip over java.PNF file deleting.

[spydyr550]

Blade....Got a little problem. My comp seems to be running great, thanks again....but it seems that I have lost the Fax program that came with Windows Xp and I dont know where I can get it. I did not receive a hard disc because I bought a Dell. Any way you can help me?

[Blade81]

Hi

In Dell cases those programs should be on hard drive in some folder. Unfortunately can't say in which one.
