    Hi JazzListener,

    Not much left to do now. Have you had any issues since running the OTL fix?


    Security Check
    • Please download Security Check by screen317 from one of the links below:
    • Save it to your Desktop.
    • Right click SecurityCheck.exe And select " Run as administrator " , then follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
    • A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt
    • Please post the contents of that document.



    Run OTL Script
    We need to run an OTL Fix
    • Right click on OTL.exe and select Run as Administrator to start the program.
    • Copy and Paste the following code into the textbox. Do not include the word Code
      Code:
      :files
      C:\Users\Henry\Downloads\freeripmp3-setup.exe
      :commands
      [EMPTYTEMP]
      [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
    • Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
    • Click .
    • OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.

    Hi Diver

    I've had no issues running OTL - other than I have to use the .scr version. This means I do not have the option of running as "administrator" but it seems to work fine. Outputs of the Security Check and OTL are below.

    Does this mean that the Freerip download had a trojan/malware or did it just come and hide there? Freerip is still installed. I also have it installed on other computers and there seems to have been no problem.

    Security Check output:

    Hi JazzListener,

    Congratulations your PC is now free from infection
    Follow the below steps to remove vulnerable programs and tighten your systems security.

    It looks like this software modifies the default IE search hook to mywebsearch - See Here. Because of this it is classified as adware and may be why ESET flagged it. I am not familiar with this software but the scan only identified the install file as a threat, so the program may well be legitimate aside from the sneaky web search modification.

    SecurityCheck identified Java and Adobe Reader as being out of date. Both of these programs contain vulnerabilities that leave your machine open to re-infection. You can get the latest versions below.
    Adobe Reader
    http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
    Java Update
    http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp


    OTL Cleanup
    Double click on OTL.scr, if prompted by UAC, please allow it.
    Press the CleanUp button.
    When done, you will be prompted to reboot your system to finish file removal, please select OK to reboot your computer.

    Enable TeaTimer
    Open Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
    If it is not already set to do this go to the "Mode" menu and select "Advanced Mode".
    On the left hand side, click on "Tools".
    Then click on the Resident Icon in the List.
    Check "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
    Restart your computer.


    Additional Security Tips.
    Update your Antivirus programs and other programs regularly.
    Secunia Personal Software Inspector - Copyright © Secunia. This app will monitor programs on your computer for known vulnerabilities. You can set it to auto-update for you, or just prompt you if an update is available. I highly recommend it.
    F-secure Health Check - Copyright © F-Secure Corporation. F-Secure Health Check is a free application that tells you if your computer is protected and helps you fix possible security issues.

    Please let me know you have completed the above steps so this post can be closed.

    Good work!

    All done.

    Thanks very much for all your help.

    Presumably I can run these other security software on my other computers?

    Hi JazzListener,

    You can use SecurityCheck and the ESET Online scan on the other computers, but you should not use OTL without the supervision of a trained malware fighter.
    The custom fix given in this post was for this problem only and could cause issues if used on another machine.
