Hello,
I have a winxp sp3 with a virus I can't get rid of. MSAutomatic Updates are enabled, and I am using FireFox's most current version. I Believe it started from a hijacked web site. There were initially several infections. I used AVG, Spybot, RootAlyzer, unhookexec.inf in trying to clean this up, running most in Safe Mode and Standard mode. I believe all is cleaned up with the exception of PWS.LDPinchIE. At least that is all I can see traces of. The machine is now off the net, so is not getting reinfected.
Cleaned down to the following things constantly recurring on reboot:
- reported by Spybot:
Hidden registry key PWS.LDPinchIE
- reported by rootalyzer:
(4) Hidden Files with cryptic names in c:\windows\system32
(three of them cannot be deleted)
(1) Hidden file with a cryptic name in c:\windows\system32\drivers
No matter what I try, these files come back after reboot. Here is my HijackThis after a fresh reboot. Please help.
Thanks,
Steve
