Good thread so far — ’s step‑by‑step removal approach is the right direction and the multiple HijackThis scans posted by show the sort of layered cleanup that’s often needed. A few extra, practical checks will reduce the chance of breaking the system or leaving hidden components behind.

Before deleting anything, make a full backup of personal files and at minimum create a system image or restore point. Work disconnected from the Internet while removing suspected items to stop any outgoing connections. Use a trusted process viewer (for example, a current Sysinternals tool) to inspect unknown processes for file location and digital signature before removal. If a file is suspicious but you’re unsure, upload it to a multi‑engine scanner service for verification rather than deleting immediately.

Because infections often alter network and browser settings, verify name resolution and the hosts file, reset any altered network configuration, and clear browser add‑ons via the browser’s own add‑on manager (or a reputable cleanup tool). Run multiple on‑demand anti‑malware and a rootkit detector to catch stealth components; if files cannot be removed because they’re locked, use Safe Mode or an external rescue environment to clean them safely.

If persistent reinfection or instability occurs, back up data and perform a clean OS install on the machine. After cleanup or reinstall, fully update the operating system to the latest available service pack (or migrate to a supported OS), reinstall up‑to‑date security software, and change all account passwords. Document each change made during cleanup so any accidental removals can be reversed.

Can you please do the following.

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

When we're done cleaning off your system, I'd recommend that you install all the critical windows updates available from Microsoft, up to service pack 1. This will help to make your system more secure and prevent many 'problems' from reoccurring in the future.

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

Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

TBPS
WinTools

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

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

Let's look for, and delete, any program segments (prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from your PC. To do this, let's:

1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

PIB.exe*
WSup.exe*

2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

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

Next, Open a command prompt by:

1. Clicking "Start", then "Run...".
2. Enter "cmd" (without the quotes).
3. Enter "services.msc" (without the quotes).

-

Now, locate and 'stop' the following services, if present:

WebSeach Toolbar support NT service (TBPSSvc) owner ... (C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar\TBPSSvc.exe)

Look carefully, since the name of the service (above) can be anywhere in the entry; also be careful not to 'stop' any required system services. Once stopped, set this service to disabled.

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

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar\TBPSSvc.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar\TBPS.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar\PIB.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools\WToolsA.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools\WSup.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

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

Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools

files...

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\dhm2u3.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\bg5wy.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "".

-

Reboot.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

Can you please do the following.

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

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\SMSSU.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Tmntsrv32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\win32res.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

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

Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: XMLDP Class - {60371670-81B9-4d06-9C42-4DEC1AABE62B} - C:\WINDOWS\xmllib.dll

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Win32res] C:\WINDOWS\win32res.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SMSSU] C:\WINDOWS\System32\SMSSU.EXE
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Tmntsrv32] C:\WINDOWS\System32\Tmntsrv32.EXE

O15 - Trusted Zone: *.musicmatch.com


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\System32\SMSSU.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Tmntsrv32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\win32res.exe
C:\WINDOWS\xmllib.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "".

-

Reboot.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.
