    Good, sometimes a rootkit type of infection is responsible for pop ups and redirects but TDSSKiller found none

    Sorry I missed your questions, as far as your laptop yes go ahead and delete those backups, what we can do is when we are done with this computer than we can work on your laptop.

    Sometimes a router can store malicious websites, do this and it will flush it all out, if those files keep returning you may have to reset the router back to when you bought it and set it up again but try this first


    1. Turn off your computer
    2. Turn off your router by unplugging the power cord on the back of the unit
    3. Turn off your Cable / DSL modem by unplugging the power cord on the back of the unit

    Leave everything off for about 5 minutes, this lets it all reset

    Then

    1. Plug in your Cable / DSL modem and wait until all the lights come back on
    2. Now do the same thing with your router
    3. Turn your computer back on and lets see if those bad hosts file backups reappear

    Ok unplugged everything let it sit and then started everything up. I had difficulty getting Eset to run but finally figured out it had to be run as an admin. It came up with nothing and there was no where to generate a report. So far no pop ups since we got rid of those host files. I'll wait to hear from you on what to do next.

    Lets just sit tight for a day or so, keep using your computer to go online and let me know if the pop ups return, when we decide that this computer is fine then I will close this thread and you can start a new topic for your laptop

    I was sure we had gotten rid of that darned thing.

    So things were running along ok after that till just now. Was reading a text file offline when User Account control popped up.

    Registry console Tool
    Program location: C:\Window\SysWOW64\reg.exe add HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services\win\vServiceD11 and some more stuff I have written down. I kept trying to say no but it wouldn't let me. So I shut down and started the system back up and the darn thing keeps popping up (is it because of something we changed at the beginning, that should be happening automatically?) so I finally said yes. Now I'm not sure whether I'm infected with something or not. I've never had that pop up before so I'm concerned. Adnxs popups seem to have stopped at the moment.

    By the way that Zone alarm toolbar from above? There are two of them in the main folder. the LTD one and one that just says zone alarm toolbar. When I look on my laptop I don't have the LTD one.

    I'm not sure what to do now. Awaiting your help.

    Thanks!

    The Zone Alarm Toolbar is safe but not needed, go ahead and run a scan with FRST , check Additions and post both new logs please

    HELLLLLPPPPPP! Desktop is completely locked up with ICE Cyber crime center virus. I cannot boot into safe mode or any other mode for that matter. What can I do? I'm at wits end.

    It's the one we've been working on. The desktop. I will need the check the laptop eventually. For now I have taken the desktop back to it's factory settings and I am in the process of installing Kaspersky Pure 3.0 Total Security onto the system. I tried various ways to fix the desktop but it was hopeless. I'm hoping my external drives that were attached to the desktop did not get infected. I have them unplugged for the moment. Can you give me a day or so to see how things go with this desktop. I may need you to take a look at it just to make sure everything is ok with it. Thanks much. I'm not having a good day.
