Question

I hate pop ups 0 Newbie Poster

20 Years Ago

I continue to get pop ups and I know I have to have spyware installed. I have panicware pop up stopper running, also use bho demon and cws and spybot s&d. I was hoping that if I post my HJT log I could get some help. I am at wits end and about to fdisk it all and reinstall windows. Any help is appreciated. Heres my log.

you need to save hijackthis.exe to your hard drive you cannot run it out of your temp dir or from a zip file. You have to turn of internet explorer and any other web browser you have running.

Unzipped is a permanent folder & ok to run from :).

Uninstall spykiller from add remove programs. It is a bogus program.
Uninstall Web_Rebates too.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\nmsmniia.exe-file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\stcloader.exe-file

Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.
Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

This one too if Win2K or XP.

...Uninstall spykiller from add remove programs...

Find out about spykiller here:
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
Put this in your favorites list so you can refer to it before getting any anti-spyware programs.

To help prevent further attacks, check crunchie's signature for 'How you got infected' and 'Spywareblaster.'

Next HJT log you post, close all browser windows before scanning and please post the entire log (showing HJT version, your OS, etc.).

download the VX cleaner plug in for Adaware. Install it, then open Adaware & go to *add-ons* & run the plug-in. If anything is found, select *clean system* & when done, reboot & run Adaware & let it finish the clean-up. Reboot again.
