My PC recently was infected by a trojan horse that redirected my IE homepage to a anti-spyware vendor's home page, in addition to other problems. I followed the instructions given in the following thread:http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=4015

Following these instructions seemed to have helped, but I don't know if it has completely eliminated the problem. Can someone confirm that my issue is fixed?

Attached are the requested log files.

Hello and welcome to the forum. There are still some nasties, let's do this:

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Enable hidden files&folders..reverse the process when finished.
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these items:

C:\Windows\Prefetch\ >>> delete the contents (NOT THE FOLDER)
Prefetch info: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Gaining-Speed-Empty-Prefetch-XP.html

Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Review the instructions http://www.ccleaner.com/help/tour1.asp
Run CCleaner, Windows & Applications when you run the registry cleaner (Issues) you will be prompted to backup before you can remove stuff, make sure you do.

Restart the computer and post a new HJT log along with your comments. How is the computer running now?

Thanks...pskelley

I have completed the instructions you gave me pskelley. The ccleaner utility found a very large number of registry entries to delete - it took 3 runs to completely clear all the issues. The PC appears to be running normally, but it did take an unusually long time to boot the first time after the changes.

However, I can't find any evidence of the previous problems. Below is the HJT log file. Please let me know if you see any other issues at this point or if there are any other steps I should take.

Thanks.

Hello and thanks for returning the information. First, here is some information to help control those nasty cookies in Firefox:

Cleaning the Prefetch does slowdown a few boots until windows repopulates it for you. I don't suggest you clean it more often than was suggested in the link. I always do mine if I notice my computer getting sluggish.
You are also running ewido, if you don't own it, read the information I post later.

Your HJT log looks clean of malware, here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topict2520.html
http://cybercoyote.org/security/not-admin.shtml

ewido is a great program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:

Take care and thanks again!
