thanks again for any help!

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' :

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSNSysRestore] C:\WINDOWS\System32\pc32.exe bg
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RunDLL] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\System32\bridge.dll",Load

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete

C:\WINDOWS\System32\pc32.exe< file

Reboot normally.

I am concerned about these two:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [stcinstaller] c:\installer\id53.exe
O4 - Global Startup: PYYP.EXE

Please go here and have these files scanned.

Or alternatively Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.

Thanks a lot, it worked great...
the PYYP.EXE is something called I-Worm.Tanatos.b
I cant even find the id53.exe file, its not hidden and I did a find folders and files on it and can;t find it either....

So, it's not in the c:\installer\id53.exe installer folder?
Delete the other file (PYYP.EXE) from your startup folder then empty the recycle bin. Clear your TIF (temp internet files (offline included)) & all other temp folders.

Post a new hjt log after a reboot plz.

I went to that site you recommended did a full search on my harddrive and deleted/cleaned the files it found, heres the new log....

Jinshen. Just to inform you that you should start your own thread when you post a log in order to reduce any confusion that may arise. In this case it matters not as the OP's problems are solved. So we can go ahead & do yours.

Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or the desktop & not directly on your hard drive). 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' :

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RunDLL] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\bridge.dll",Load
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [HXIUL.EXE] C:\Program Files\Alset\HelpExpress\Matt\HXIUL.EXE
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WINT] C:\WINDOWS\System32\wcpsu.exe

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete

C:\Program Files\Alset< folder

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log plz.

Hi steviegee16,

Please read the post right above yours concerning the need for you to post your question in its own separate thread. You'll get more attention that way, and you won't add confusion to the troubleshoot we're doing for the original starter of this thread.

Thanks :)
