[crunchie]

Done :).

Just need to do the following now malwarehunter;

Let's get rid of Combofix now that we are finished with it.

• 
  
• 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.

[Malwarehunter94]

I typed in what you said and it says Windows cannot locate Combofix.

If it's there, I cannot see it. Must be a false positive :).

did you enable all your startup and all of your services and restart before you posted that log?

[Malwarehunter94]

When I went into msconfig, everything was enabeled already, but I had deleted some stuff so I posted a new log anyway.

[overwhelmed]

remove this
R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)

did you download ccleaner and spybot s&d?? if you did then run the spybot first and then run ccleaner, run both scans the registry and the cleaner scan

then let me know whats going on....

[Malwarehunter94]

I have been runing CCleaner every day after I use the internet, both the cleaner and the registry scan, Mirar and Blubster seem to be gone, I checked what you said and I noticed this file, R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = \blank.htm isn't that CoolWWWSearch? the porn pop-ups have stopped, but now I keep getting pop-ups telling me to download Adobe Acrobat, this happens randomly while I am surfing the internet, to start Spybot I have to double-click its icon multiple times, instead of once.

[overwhelmed]

you should remove that entry also and check your add/remove programs and see if you see anything that shouldnt be there.....

[overwhelmed]

it looks clean to me but you never know......

crunchie might have more for you to do too....
are you still having any problems????

[Malwarehunter94]

No more problems so far, thanks.

[overwhelmed]

your welcome....

[crunchie]

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

===============

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Download CCleaner and install, then run it. It will clear out your temp folders.

1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
3. Close when finished.

Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, AVG anti-spyware, Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D.
Run them all on a regular basis, following the maker's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

For XP users.
After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
To flush the XP system Restore Points.

Go to Start | Run and type msconfig and press enter.

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

===============

If you have any more problems, post back.

Happy surfing,

crunchie.
