MY computer got infected with some spyware. I tried every program, I cleaned the unneccesary entries with HJT but one thing still keeps coming back. Every time I open a web page a minute later IE opens itself and bombards me with related advertisement. The main source for this advertisement seems to be coming from www.icannnews.com then it redirects to bunch of other popups. Can you please help me solve this problem. Here HJT and Silent Runners Log:

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

Download and run the PurityScan uninstaller:

http://www.purityscan.com/uninstall.html

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

rdso
SurfSideKick

Scan with HijackThis and have it fix the following entries:

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {02EE5B04-F144-47BB-83FB-A60BD91B74A9} - C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 3\SskBho.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winsync] C:\WINDOWS\system32\klpds4.exe reg_run
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SurfSideKick 3] C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 3\Ssk.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SurfSideKick 3] C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 3\Ssk.exe
If you didn't put this in your Trusted Zone yourself, have HJT fix this O15 entry as well --
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://www.gsp.ro
O20 - AppInit_DLLs: repairs.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: RunOnceEx - C:\WINDOWS\system32\fascom.dll

Close any open windows, other then HijackThis, and hit Fix checked.

Go to the following locations and delete the highlighted files and folders:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\klpds4.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\fascom.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\iaslan.exe

C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 3
C:\Program Files\rdso

Do a search for repairs.dll and delete any instances found.

If any of these files cannot be deleted, try booting into Safe Mode first.

Go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\W?nSxS and right-click on notepad.exe, go to Properties, and give us whatever info you can on the file (Company, version, etc.)

Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot.

Close any open browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log please. Let us know if you're still having problems.

THANK YOU for all your help. Unfortunatelly it seemed that I had a virus too, because this morning I could not boot my Computer at all. It boots to the screen where it lets you select to boot in Safe Mode etc and that's all it does. When you select a mode it just restarts and the same screen shows again. So I decided to format and do a clean install on windows. All problems are gone now. Thank you one more time for all your help and time. I'm sorry to waste your time, but I needed my computer today so i had to kiss all my files goodbye and reinstall windows.

I'm grateful for all your help, and please accept my appologies for making you look at my HJT logs.

No appologies necessary, sorry you lost some of your data :(
