I have up to date virus, spy and ad ware, however a few items are being missed and or there picking it up and will not let me do anything with them except stop or exclude. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. On startup - Windows cannot find C\windows\system32\services\services.exe
Also on startup this virus alert comes up.
Exploit-mhtRedir.gen

2. C:\windows\system32\bulrkfb.exe
C:\windows\system32\lwkkg.dll
C:\windows\system32\patch.exe

Thank you
Steve

Hi,
Download Ewido and install it. Then run, you will receive a warning message saying "Database not found", click "OK" for this. Next in the main screen, click "Update" and click "Start Update". After the update process, exit from Ewido.

Download CCleaner and install it. Run CCleaner, click "Options" button and here go to "Advanced" tab and uncheck the option "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours". Click OK to exit from the Options. Finally click "Run Cleaner" and click "OK" to continue cleaning.

Run Ewido, click on the "Scanner" button in the left menu, then click on the "Start" button.
If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. You can select "Clean" and check the boxes "Perform action with all infections" and "Create encrypted backup" before clicking on OK.
When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file.


Download HijackThis and unzip it to dedicated folder (like C:\HijackThisFolder\hijackthis.exe).
Then run it and click the button Do a System scan and save log file. HijackThis will perform a scan and saves the log file as hijackthis.log in the same folder where it is installed and it also opens the file automatically.
Copy the entire contents of the file and post it here along with Ewido log.

Swatcat,
Did what you instructed. Of the three program to uninstall spyware nuker was the only one found. File atpe.exe was not found however, I did find atpe.exe_.mcq in program files under Mcafee virus scan. left it alone. Under Hijacker seven items that you had listed were not listed on my scan, however everything else was checked. Here are the log files. By the way, I lost all my book marks and no I do not have a recent back up.

Thank You
Steve

Hi,

Sorry for replying late. Had some problems here [IMG]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/133/stress9sm.gif[/IMG] , first my SMPS went kaput and then Modem due to power surges because of heavy rain :sad: i am really sorry that you lost your bookmarks, but there is a hope, PC Inspector File Recovery can be used to recover deleted files. It is one of the powerful tool to recover deleted data and it's also a freeware.
By the way, your log looks clean :)

Swatkat,
Thank you for all your help. Computer is running very well now. I,ll give that recovery program a try. Have a good weekend.

Thanks Again,
Steve
