I've scanned my comp with Norton and I can't seem to get rid of these 4 viruses:

Gainplugin dll

pmexe.cab

Points manager.exe

sysdetect.dll

Hi Chelbert, welcome to DaniWeb :D

In order for us to see exactly what you have running on your system, I suggest you get the self-extracting version of HijackThis from here (in line 2):
http://www.malwareremoval.com/downloads.html

Then close any open browser windows, 'Scan and Save Log' with hijackthis, copy the log, and paste it here in this thread.

Go here to get the removal tool for Adware.Gator: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.gator.html

Do a search on your system for Adware.Topsearch and delete any instances found.

Go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and remove Kazaa.

Get Kazaabegone to remove all remnants of Kazaa:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/kazaagone.html

Before running Kazaabegone, download LSPfix from http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-file-334.html (the process of getting rid of Kazaa sometimes messes up the internet connection and this will allow you to restore it).

Run Kazaabegone; if your internet connection is lost, start LSPfix.
On the opening screen, click the I know what I'm doing checkbox. Then click Finish.
That will restore all previous settings.

Ok after I downloaded highjackthis when I check my email it sends me to pier1emports

Can you tell us exactly where Norton says it's located?

this is all I get

the file C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\CONFLICT.1\GainPlugin.dll

If you haven't already, try going to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\CONFLICT.1 and deleting GainPlugin.dll

If you can't delete it while in normal mode, try it from Safe Mode.

what do you mean go into control panel? where do I go exactly?

My suggestion for going to the Control Panel was back in post #2; I thought you had already done that. :confused:

Click on your Start button, point to Settings, and then click on Control Panel. When the Control Panel opens, double-click on Add or Remove Programs. Find the program (or programs) in the list that you wish to remove and click on the Change/Remove button.

As for deleting the GainPlugin, open My Computer -- there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click on that -- then double-click on the "C" drive. Find the WINDOWS folder and double-click it. In there, locate the Downloaded Program Files folder and open that one by double-clicking as well. In that folder you should find a folder named CONFLICT.1; open that folder, locate the GainPlugin.dll file, and delete it. (Note: if there are any programs in the Downloaded Program Files folder that you wish to keep, you should move them to another folder and then delete the entire contents of the Downloaded Program Files folder.)

I looked an there isn't a file or folder named conflict1

Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View tab.
Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.

Now look for that folder again.

I did a file by file check on Norton it looks like the file is in C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386

How do I stop my email from being spammed?

Hey it's been 8 days since anyone has responded to my posts. Did you guys forget about me? I still need help :cry:

I did a file by file check on Norton it looks like the file is in C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386

Are you saying the GainPlugin.dll file is in C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386? That's not what was indicated in post #9 so I'm a bit confused.

Are you saying the GainPlugin.dll file is in C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386? That's not what was indicated in post #9 so I'm a bit confused.

That's what I'm saying. So how do I get rid of it?

Go to C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 and delete GainPlugin.dll.

If you can't delete it while in normal mode, try it from Safe Mode.

ok that didn't work either. Do i need to erase everything off my computer and start over from the beginning? It starting to look like this wont ever come off.

Please do a search for GainPlugin.dll and let us know exactly where it's located.

Close any open browser windows, scan with HijackThis, and post a new log please.

Ok when I do a search I come up with nothin. Norton Antivirus says it's there.

Does Norton give you the location? Is it something like C:\System Volume Information\_restore\GainPlugin.dll?

Also, be sure your system is set to Show hidden files and folders:
Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, and in Folder Options, select Show hidden files and folders, and uncheck Hide protected operating system files.

no actually it says it's located at C:\WINDOWS\DownloadedProgramFiles\CONFLICT.1\GainPlugin.dll

I tried looking under downloaded progran files but nothing is there either

Run hijackthis and go to misc tools\delete a file on reboot and enter the full path to the file.

C:\WINDOWS\DownloadedProgramFiles\CONFLICT.1\GainPlugin.dll

Reboot on request.

ok you are saying this like i know what i am doing. Can you dumb it up for me? Go where and do what?

No problem :)

Open HijackThis and click on the Config... button in the lower right corner of the main window. In the next window, click on the Misc Tools button at the top, and then click the Delete a file on reboot... button. Copy & paste C:\WINDOWS\DownloadedProgramFiles\CONFLICT.1\GainPlugin.dll into the box, and click Open. A new window will pop up asking if you want to restart your computer now; click Yes.

I tried that this is the error message i received:

C:\WINDOWS\DownloadedProgramFiles\CONFLICT.1\GainPlugin.dll

Path does not exist. Please verify that the correct Path was given

Ok does that mean that Norton is stupid?

It would appear so :). You could not find it upon inspection and hijackthis could not find it either.

==

Run hijackthis and hit the Open the Misc Tools Section and then the Open Uninstall Manager.

Then hit the Save List button. Save to the desktop for easy access. Open the log file and copy the entire list and paste it here please.

===========

Copy the bold text below and paste it into notepad. Save it to your desktop as find.bat and make sure type is set to All Files.


cd\
cd Program Files
DIR /AD /B /P > ProgramFiles.txt
start ProgramFiles.txt
cls
exit


Double click find.bat and let it run for a minute. It will open up a report in notepad. Please copy that text and post it here in your next reply.
