Hi.
Have the Spyware infestation - need to get rid of it (obviously).

I'm not very good with this stuff so please try to explain everything as simply as possible.

I'm aware that you don't ever click on the fake 'you've got spyware' windows that pop-up when you're browsing, but when I started-up the computer & saw the Spy-Sheriff 'desktop ad', I fell for the 'Windows warning' (little yellow box that pops up from the taskbar) telling me to 'click here'. Then it installed the Spy-Sheriff program on the system.
** (I'm not sure whether this makes any difference, that's all)

As of right now I've gotten rid of the stupid background (a friend reccommended that I use 'Ad-Aware SE Personal'), but that was before I found this site, so I haven't done any of the other things this site suggests, and wasn't sure what to do since I've already used this first.

* And using Ad-Aware has gotten rig of the false desktop, but not the Spy-Sheriff detection program itself, or the 3 or 4 different kinds of pop-ups it seems to cause.
------------------------
I've downloaded 'Hijack-This' as your site reccommends and run it only to get the log, nothing else.

The log follows:

Thankyou very much!
Will try what you suggested right away!

Followed your advice and have run into a few problems.

1: Used HijackThis and removed/fixed the files you suggested, (I) couldn't find the following ones in the list (this is after uninstalling Spy-Sheriff before-hand, as you suggested):
EPROGRA~1NEWDOT~1NEWDOT~1.DLL,ClientStartup -s
O4 - HKCU..Run [SpySheriff] CProgram FilesSpySheriffSpySheriff.exe
O23 - Service Bit Torrent (Bt) - Unknown owner - EWINDOWSsystem.exe
----
2: I did everything else in your post, then followed the directions in the "httpforums.spybot.infoshowthread.phpt=1958" thread, I followed down to 'B' and did a Hijack Scan anyway, and noticed that a lot of the 'O2-' are missing (will put the log at the end of post).
----
3: Proceeded fine down to 'D'. Ran SmitRem without problem until it got me to do the normal Windows 'Disk Cleanup'. That hasn't worked on my computer since about a fortnight after I got it 2 years ago! I let it go, once again, for about an hour, then cancelled it and went on to the next part.
I included the 'smitfiles.txt' at the end of the post anyway, just in-case.
If you know anything I can do to fix the 'Disk Cleanup' after everything else is fixed, that would be great. (maybe a Defrag?)
----
4: Went to 'E' (open Spybot-S&D). Did the 'check for problems' - went fine until about 3700 of 34714 - it then said "Scan aborted by user".
I hadn't touched anything and didn't have anything open/running except a text file of your instructions, which I closed and tried the scan again, but same result. I can't tell if the scan keeps going after it says it's aborted because the file progress at the bottom (3700 of 34714) changes to 'scan aborted'.
----
5: Would like to know if there is anyway to increase desktop resolution in Safe Mode. 640 x 480 is too small to see everything!

Any help would be greatly appreciated (quickly if at all possible - the rest of the family is riding me constantly to have this fixed and up and running)


P.S. The 'visual symptoms' of the Spy-Sheriff problem appear to have stopped (Spy-Sherrif, 'Your comp is infected' pop-ups, and some weird thing that would ALT-TAB out of the game I was playing by itself, then move the mouse cursor by itself and click on an icon - I never noticed whether it could actually double-click and start/open whatever the icon was.)

If what you suggest doesn't work, is it possible to just install something that guards against spyware in the first place (any suggestions) and leave it at that?

(ie: Are the rest of the instructions in the thread "httpforums.spybot.infoshowthread.phpt=1958" for the Spy-Sheriff problem, or spyware in general, or just to make sure your system is squeaky clean?)

Thanks for your help, please reply soon, and sorry again that my posts are so damn 'wordy' - I can't help it.

Thanks

===============================

Ok. 3 more things.

1. Should I proceed with the directions in the "httpforums.spybot.infoshowthread.phpt=1958" thread (SpyAxe, SpySheriff, Winhound, Spywarestrike)? I was up to 'E' from memory - using Spybot S&D, but couldn't complete the scan - says 'check aborted by user'.

2. When I start-up the computer & the Windows desktop comes up, 'Ewido anti-Malware 3.5' comes up with a message saying "Infected Object Found"
File: atiphexx.exe
Path: E:\Windows
Infection: Backdoor.Rbot

I just keep shutting Ewido down until I can get your advice - I assume that it's a real threat and not something similar to SpySheriff?

3. Not running any virus checker/scanner that I'm aware of - tried one once and it slowed down the system too much (and the games) so I had to get rid of it.

That's it - will await your reply. (Once again, if you could respond quickly please, 'cos my family is bugging me to get it fixed by the end of the weekend.)

Thanks for your help, will await reply.

Hi
We can get back to those questions in a bit, first run hiajcthis click config
> misc tools > open process manager and end task on this file
E:\WINDOWS\System32\atiphexx.exe
then click back then scan , place a check next to these items
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ati control panel] atiphexx.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [ati control panel] atiphexx.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ati control panel] atiphexx.exe
=============
Click fix checked, close Hiajckthis and restart your PC

Run Ewido and let it remove anything it finds

Check for and fix any problems found with SpyBot

Continue with the instructions in the SpyAxe, SpySheriff, Winhound, Spywarestrike" thread

And most important of all never never run a pc without an antivirus program
and never disable it simply becouse the pc runs faster without it,,,
find and insatall one asap, update then perform a full system scan
Otherwise there is no sence in trying to clean your pc

Only After that do post a fresh log
