    Default Shaba - virtumonde and Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts (Cont)

    Shaba,

    Still having an issue i hope you can help me with.

    But let me first say thanks for all your help before. I didn't forget about you - just Julian's computer. Julian and i work int he Financial Industry and since September we have been a little busy to say the least. I started to finish our little project after you left the long list of instructions, but the bottom fell out of the market and work comes before helping a friend on his computer.

    over the past couple of weeks i spent an couple of hours each week following your instructions. The comp is running near normal (as normal as a 4-5 year old comp can run). No more issues being detected by Spybot, Ad-Aware, McAfee, or Malwarebytes. oh, and i just deleted that empty "common" folder and that stopped it from openning.

    the thing is though, i cannot get rid of a google line on HJT. There is only one folder on the computer that has anything to do with google and it is DSC folder (dell service center) "C:\Program Files\Dell Support Center\gs_agent\custom". i deleted the google part of it and it just reappeared at startup. i've done some research and i'm thinking DSC may be corrupt; if you recall (see bottom of page 5 of original post) we had some issue with DSC opening 100s of times.

    the google line is:
    O23 - Service: Google Updater Service (gusvc) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Google\Common\Google Updater\GoogleUpdaterService.exe (file missing)

    below is a recent HJT;
    any help on this or suggestions on where i may find help would be greatly appreciated
    - and if you see any other lines that are bad please let me know

    Hi orleans_rob

    This should take care of it:

    Copy text below to Notepad and save it as remgoogle.bat (save it as all files, *.*)

    @ECHO OFF
    sc stop gusvc
    sc delete gusvc
    del remgoogle.bat

    It should look like this ->

    Doubleclick remgoogle.bat.bat; black dos windows will flash, that's normal.

    Reboot.

    Post back a fresh HijackThis log, please.

    Yep, that entry is gone

    If you have issues with Dell software, I suggest that you uninstall and reinstall it.

    Any other problems left?

    Default Show Desktop icon on the Quick Launch toolbar

    lets take one at a time

    followed these steps (auto and manual) and an icon is created but when i click it a box pops up saying windows cannnot find file - when i click search the web in the box i'm sent to a windows site (which doesn't recognize file type). then i search "windows live seach" and found the link below

    i ran it and the same thing keeps happening

    oh, and the icon doesn't look like the desktop icon - looks like a non-assigned file

    Thanks for information.

    As that doesn't seem to be a malware issue, I can re-direct you to some windows forum for that.

    Do you have any malware issues left?

    don't know if there are any maleware issues left

    wmiprvse.exe (i know we did something with it earlier) seems really slow on startup and reboot along with sprtcmd.exe

    also should i check the box in hjt that says
    O23 - Service: McAfee Application Installer Cleanup (0075821224354872) (0075821224354872mcinstcleanup) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\007582~1.EXE (file missing)
