Hi again Ken545,

Checked through C Drive>Windows>System 32 and that entry is nowhere to be found. Computer is running very well.

Thanks again mate.

Great

You need to update your Java, the older versions of Java leave holes in your system for this garbage to sneak in. Go to your Control Panel and click on the Java Icon ( looks like a little coffee cup ) click on About and you should have Version 6 Update 11 or 12, if not proceed with the instructions.

Download the latest version Here save it, do not install it yet.

JRE 6 Update 12 <--This is what you need

• Go to your Add Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall any previous versions of Java
• Reboot your computer
• Install the latest version

You can verify the installation Here






ATF Cleaner <-- Yours to keep, run it now and then to clean out the clutter.

Malwarebytes <-- Yours to keep also, check for updates and run a scan now and then.

Combofix <---Is not a general cleaning tool, just run it with supervision or you can bork your system

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
  
  
  
  • 
  
  
  
• When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"

The above procedure will:

• Delete the following:
  • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
  • VundoFix backups, if present
  • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
  • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
• Reset the clock settings.
• Hide file extensions, if required.
• Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
• Reset System Restore.

• How did I get infected in the first place ? Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.
• Tutorial for System Restore <-- Do this first to prevent yourself from being reinfected.

• Grinler BleepingComputer

Keep in mind if you install some of these programs. Only ONE Anti Virus and only ONE Firewall is recommended, more is overkill and can cause you problems. You can install all the Spyware programs I have listed without any problems. If you install Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard, they will conflict with the TeaTimer in Spybot , you can still install Spybot Search and Destroy but do not enable the TeaTimer .

Here are some free programs to install, all free and highly regarded by the fine people in the Malware Removal Community

• Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6
  Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis. If you install Spyware Blaster ( Recommended ) then do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot Search and Destroy.
  
• Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed. No scan to run, just update about once a week and enable all protection.
  
• Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts, again, no scan to run, just install it and let it do its thing.
  
• IE-Spyad
  IE-Spyad places over 6000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  
• Firefox 3 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.

Safe Surfn

Done.

Once again. A million thank you's. If you weren't on the other side of the planet, I'd offer to buy you a beer!
