Hi dazed+confused, welcome to DaniWeb :D

Start with this --

Go to Windows Update and get SP1a for both XP and IE.

For every User listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders (not the folders themselves):

Local Settings\Temp
Cookies
History
Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

Delete the entire contents of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.

Delete the entire contents of your C:\Temp folder (if you have one).

Do a search for *.tmp and delete all entries found.

Go to Start, Run, and type in cleanmgr, and then click OK. Select the drive XP is on, and check the boxes for Downloaded Program Files (move any files you wish to keep out of this folder first), Temporary Internet Files, Recycle Bin, Temporary Files, Temporary Offline Files, Offline Files, (and Compress old files & Catalog files for the Content Indexer if you wish), and then click OK. Click Yes to confirm you want these files deleted. It may take awhile for this to run, please be patient.

Note: if any of these temporary files cannot be deleted while in normal mode, try Safe Mode.

Update your anitvirus program and run a full system scan.

Run a at least two of these free online anti-virus/anti-spyware scans and have them clean what they can:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp?cid=9914
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php

Download, install, update, and run these tools:

CWShredder -- http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html
about:Buster -- http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4289.html
HSRemove -- http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4286.html
PurityScan uninstaller -- http://www.purityscan.com/uninstall.html

Download Ewido Security Suite -- http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/ewido_security_suite/1098736486/1
Install it, and while installing, under Additional Options, uncheck Install background guard and Install scan via context menu.
From the main Ewido screen, click on Update in the left menu, and then click the Start update button. After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display Update successful), close the program (don't scan yet). If you have problems updating see here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/
Note -- When you run Ewido for the first time, you will get the warning Database could not be found!, click OK when you do.

Reboot into Safe Mode (reboot your computer and tap the F8 key while it's starting back up).

Run a full system scan with Ewido (note: you will be posting the log from this scan when back in normal mode).

Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot normally.

Move hijackthis from the Temporary folder it is in now into it's own permanent folder (like c:\HJT\hijackthis.exe).

After you've moved it, close any open browser windows, scan with hijackthis, and post a new log along with the Ewido log.

hey thanks for the help. i followed your directions as best i could. i downloaded that ewido and ran it but couldnt figure out how to make a logfile. here is my new hijackthis file tho.

p.s i just ran the ps. uninstall. i just figured out that u wanted me to uninstall it and not install it.

Move hijackthis from the Temporary folder it is in now into it's own permanent folder (like c:\HJT\hijackthis.exe).

After you've moved it, close any open browser windows, scan with hijackthis, and post a new log.

You should have copied the report from Ewido to your clipboard; please scan with it again and do so. Then post the report here.

i put the hjt in a new folder and created new logs. thanks again

Go to C:\WINNT\system32\config\systemprofile and delete the contents of the Cookies folder (but not the folder itself).

According to your log, HijackThis is still in a Temp folder (C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 2 for hijackthis_199.zip\HijackThis.exe); it needs to be in it's own permanent folder so that it, and the backups it will create, do not get deleted during the cleanup process.

After you've moved it, close any open browser windows, scan with hijackthis, and post a new log.

ok i hope i put the hijack this folder in the right spot finally :o . Heres the new log.

:D That's more like it, except you should take the .exe out of the folder name (so it looks like this: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe, instead of this: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\hijackthis.exe\HijackThis.exe)

Go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and remove (if present):

EmpirePoker
WeatherBug

Scan with hijackthis and have it fix the following entries:

Click on the Config button

Click on the Misc Tools button

Click on the button labeled Delete a file on reboot...

A new window will open asking you to select the file that you would like to delete on reboot. Navigate to mad.dll, click on it once, and then click on the Open button.

You will now be asked if you would like to reboot your computer to delete the file. Click on the Yes button to reboot now.

After you've rebooted, search for mad.dll again to make sure it's gone; let us know in your next post.

Post a new hijackthis log and let us know if you're still having problems. If so, please describe it/them.

Don't delete the HijackThis backups, at least not until your system is clean and has been running properly for awhile.

Get the Pocket Killbox from here:
http://bleepingcomputer.com/files/spyware/KillBox.zip

Unzip the file to your desktop.

Boot into Safe Mode and do a search for mad.dll

Run Pocket Killbox and paste the full file path of mad.dll in the box and click on Delete on Reboot. Click on the button with the red circle and an X in the middle; you will get a message saying File will be deleted on next reboot, Process and Reboot now?, Click Yes to reboot. (Note: the 'file path' will be something like C:\WINDOWS\System32\mad.dll)

Reboot normally and do a search for mad.dll again and let us know if it's gone in your next post.

Scan with HJT and post a new log please.

Still no luck on getting rid of the mad.dll file (these guys are good). When I tried to tell the pocket box killer to reboot the computer, an error message came up. When i tried to tell the program to delete the file right there it said the file does not exist. Anyway, heres my new log file.

Yes they are good (if you can call this 'good'). This file is both self-protecting and self-replicating.

You can find instructions for removing it here:
ftp://www.wizardnco.com/pub/Docs/RemoveTVM/
(click on the How to Properly Remove TVM.doc link)

When you get to the part where you open the Registry (regedit), I suggest you make a backup before proceeding. At the top of the Registry Editor window, click on File, and then Export. In the Export range panel (at the bottom), click All, give the file a name, and then Save your registry as a backup to a location where you will be able to locate it easily if necessary.

Let us know how it goes...

hey sorry i havent posted in a few days. got something strange to report. when i click on the link, mozilla tells me that the operation has timed out and i cant manually find the site. any thoughts?

hey sorry i havent posted in a few days. got something strange to report. when i click on the link, mozilla tells me that the operation has timed out and i cant manually find the site. any thoughts?

Only that it may have been down at the time; I just tried it with IE and it works fine. I'll try it with Firefox later and see what happens. In the meantime, try it again.

okay i tried it with mozilla again and it didnt work and then i tried it with internet explorer and my computer froze. could this have anything with the file. these spyware jerks really tick me off. :evil:

ok sorry i havent replied in a while (iv been on vacation!> anyway the mad.dll program remains but the good news is that my aim works again which is all i really care about. thanks a lot for all the help u have given me!

Glad your system is working better for you, but you should still try to get rid of that mad.dll.

Get the Pocket Killbox from here:
http://bleepingcomputer.com/files/spyware/KillBox.zip

Unzip the file to your desktop.

Reboot into Safe Mode.

Do a search for mad.dll and (attempt) to delete any instances found.

If mad.dll could not be deleted, run Pocket Killbox and paste the full file path in the box and click on Delete on Reboot. Click on the button with the red circle and an X in the middle; you will get a message saying File will be deleted on next reboot, Process and Reboot now?, Click Yes to reboot (reboot into normal mode). (Note: the 'file path' will be something like C:\WINDOWS\System32\mad.dll)

Let us know if you were successful.
