Hello andye, :bigthumb:
Really looking good now. Time for some clean up.
Your
Java appears to be down level.
Navigate to
Control Panel then open on
Programs and Features (Vista / Windows7), or
Add Remove Programs (XP).
Highlight each
Java item listed then
Remove or
Uninstall.
Visit this
site to down load and install the latest Java.

To clear the Java Plug-in cache:
Click Start > Control Panel.
Double-click the Java icon in the control panel.
On the General tab, Click
Settings under Temporary Internet Files.
On the Temporary Files Settings screen, Click

check all boxes
Click

Reboot the computer.
Next
You Adobe Reader is also a bit down level.
Please visit this site

Run
OTL.exe, this will remove old and possibly infected restore points and create a new one.
Copy/paste the following text written
inside of the code box into the
Custom Scans/Fixes box located at the bottom of OTL
Code:
:OTL
:Commands
[emptytemp]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]
- Then click the Run Fix button at the top
- Let the program run unhindered, reboot when it is done
- Then post a new OTL log (don't check the boxes beside LOP Check or Purity this time)
Next
Clean up with
OTL: this will remove OTL and DDS.
- Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
- Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
- On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
- Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.
You may remove ERUNT by using Control Panel -> Add Remove programs.
You should keep MalwaerBytes, run it periodically making sure to update before scanning. If you wish you may remove MalwareByes using the same method as ERUNT.
Lastly
Here are some tips to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future:
1.
Make your Internet Explorer More Secure
- From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
- Click once on the Security tab.
- Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
- Click once on the Custom Level button.
- Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt.
- Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable.
- Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable.
- Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt.
- Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt.
- Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt.
- When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
- If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
- Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
2.
Update your Anti-Virus Software - I can not overemphasize the need for you to update your Anti-virus application on a regular basis. With the ever increasing number of new variants of malware arriving on the scene daily, you become very susceptible to an attack without updated protection.
3.
Make sure you keep your Windows OS current by visiting
Windows update regularly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. Without these you are leaving the back door open.
4.
Consider a custom hosts file such as MVPS HOSTS. This custom hosts file effectively blocks a wide range of unwanted ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.
For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial by
WinHelp2002
Note: Be sure to follow the instructions to disable the
DNS Client service
before installing a custom hosts file.
5.
Download and install the free version of WinPatrol. This program protects your computer in a variety of ways and will work well with your existing security software. Have a look at
this tutorial to help you get started with the program.
6.
Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Download and install Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide real time spyware and hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should scan your computer with the program on a regular basis just as you would with your anti-virus software. A tutorial on installing and using this product can be found here:
Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware
7. Finally, I strongly recommend that you read TonyKlein's good advice
So how did I get infected in the first place?
Again thanks for your patience and hard work, surf safe,
Bill :thanks:
