Hello Martin,

I re opened the thread for you. Sorry I had to close it but we get so many people posting that if a log is not replied to in 4 or 5 days we close it and it was about a week or so since you replied

Remove this entry with HJT
O16 - DPF: {DF1C8E21-4045-4D67-B528-335F1A4F0DE9} -

G'day Ken

I removed O16 - DPF: {DF1C8E21-4045-4D67-B528-335F1A4F0DE9} - per your advice.

The computer seems to be running well now - no pop-ups of scumware, Avast AV is running, Spybot Tea Timer is running and all seem well.

Please see below for a HJT logfile; I'll defer to your expertise to decide if we are all done or not.

Thanks heaps for your help - we really appreciate it.

Cheers


Martin & Hoppy

Looking good

I would update Internet Explorer from version 7 to 8 as it will be more secure, you can do that via windows updates.

Open IE and go to Tools> Windows Updates and download any critical updates including IE8



Lets make sure your Java is up to date

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 15, if not proceed with the instructions.


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

Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)JRE 6 Update 15 <--The wording is confusing but 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





Run this cleaner to clean out all the garbage like temp files and such

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
• Under Main choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.

Your system may start up slower after running ATF Cleaner, this is expected but will be back to normal after the first or second boot up
Please note: If you use online banking or are registered online with any other organizations, ensure you have memorized password and other personal information as removing cookies will temporarily disable the auto-login facility.





HostsXpert <--Drag it to the trash

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.
• WhattheTech
• Grinler BleepingComputer
• GeeksTo Go
• Dslreports

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

We are all done!

I have installed software as above and done all of your steps, except for the firefox install - Hoppy uses MSN Messenger and LiveMail.

Thanks heaps for your valuable assistance - if ever you are in Darwin we will buy you a beer!

Cheers

Martin & Hoppy.
