Help this damsel in distress

[drewbru]

Ok. My son has been using my computer and lo and behold, there are shortcuts to porn sites, adult dating sites, gambling sites, etc. on my desktop. When I run Internet Explorer I get redirected to GopherSearch.com. From what I can tell by looking around, I need to edit my registry? Also, there's a Winlog.exe program that I don't remember seeing in my task manager before.
Any help ending this distressing situation would be appreciated.
Here's my Hijack This log:

Hello and welcome to the forum. You have some nasty infections, I'll just give you some information about this worm: http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/anal...32sdbotru.html see here: http://castlecops.com/startuplist-6494.html so you will know your security has been severly compromised and if you will view the information under all tabs you will have a better awareness as to how to recover.

Lets look at this items first: C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe see the links:
http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546
http://www.greatis.com/appdata/u/v/viewmgr.exe.htm
http://www.spywareinfo.com/newslette....php#viewpoint
I suggest you use Add Remove programs to uninstall this junk.


Credit: Metallica and any others who helped with this fix. It is important you follow the directions carefully.

1. Please download Ewido Anti-Malware

• Install ewido anti-malware
• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
• The program will now open to the main screen.
• When you run ewido for the first time, you may get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
  
  You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
  • On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
  • Then click on Start Update.
• The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
  (the status bar at the bottom will display ("Update successful")
• Exit Ewido, do not run the scan yet!

If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update ewido.
ewido manual updates

2. Please download Brute Force Uninstaller to your desktop.

• Right click the BFU folder on your desktop, and choose Extract All
• Click "Next"
• In the box to choose where to extract the files to,
• Click "Browse"
• Click on the + sign next to "My Computer"
• Click on "Local Disk (C: ) or whatever your primary drive is
• Click "Make New Folder"
• Type in BFU
• Click "Next", and Uncheck the "Show Extracted Files" box and then click "Finish".

3. RIGHT-CLICK HERE and choose "Save As" (in IE it's "Save Target As") in order to download Alcra PLUS Remover.
Save it in the same folder you made earlier (c:\BFU).

Do not do anything with these yet!

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping F8 until a menu appears. Highlight Safe Mode and hit enter.

4. Once in Safe Mode, Open Ewido:

• Click on scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• You will be prompted to clean the first infection.
• Select "Perform action on all infections", then proceed.
• Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
• Click Save report.
• Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.

Close ewido anti-malware.

5. Then, please go to Start > My Computer and navigate to the C:\BFU folder.

• Start the Brute Force Uninstaller by doubleclicking BFU.exe
• In the scriptline to execute field type or paste c:\bfu\alcanshorty.bfu
• Press Execute and let it do it’s job. (You ought to see a progress bar if you did this correctly.)
• Wait for the complete script execution box to pop up and press OK.
• Press exit to terminate the BFU program.

Reboot into normal windows and post the contents of Ewido text report that you saved and a new HiJackThis log. We will have more to do.

Thanks...pskelley
