Hi and welcome to Daniweb forums :).

following :

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the

  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
  • Choose your usual account.
  • In Safe Mode, right click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract
    All
    ,
  • Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to
    start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the script.
  • It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the
    registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool
    will be running and removing files.
  • When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and
    display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load
    your desktop icons.
  • Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the

Cheers for your help. Do I do anything else?

SDFix got most, but there is a little more to do.
Viewpoint Manager is considered to be foistware, rather than malware, since it is installed without users approval, but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". Please read this article: http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546
I suggest that you remove the program. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.
Viewpoint
Viewpoint Manager
Viewpoint Media Player

==

Can you please do the following.

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

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [{A8DB8E73-0B6E-1033-1125-050604240001}] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\{A8DB8E73-0B6E-1033-1125-050604240001}\Update.exe" mc-110-12-0001670
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [{A8DB8E73-0B6F-1033-1125-050604240001}] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\{A8DB8E73-0B6F-1033-1125-050604240001}\Update.exe" mc-110-12-0001670
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE


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:\Program Files\Common Files\{A8DB8E73-0B6E-1033-1125-050604240001}
C:\Program Files\Common Files\{A8DB8E73-0B6F-1033-1125-050604240001}

Search for...

ALCMTR.EXE

...using "Start | Search...".

-

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 Safe Mode by doing the following:

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

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

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

Hi, My spyware says they are still there.
I didnt need to do the last step in safe mode. Should i recheck the hide protected operating system files now or later?
Thanks
Ken

Does it give the exact path to them? If so, post them here please.

Go here and download then run Silent Runners.vbs. Right click on the download link and select Save Target As. Save it to the desktop or to a folder in a permanent directory. It generates a log which will be created in the same folder you are running it from. Please post the information back in this thread.
If you have a script blocking program, please allow the file to run. It is not malicious.

Cannot seem to find a path for them.
Tried silent runners and here is the log:-

That's showing up as clean too. Without seeing where it is, makes it difficult to remove. Unless it's not really there :). Doesn't AOL spyware claim to be able to remove what it finds?

----

Try this;

Please download and install AVG antispyware tool

  • Close all other Applications Select language click Ok
  • Click I Agree
  • Click next
  • Click Install
  • Click Finish
  • Wait and AVG antispyware will open to the main screen automatically.
  • Wait again a few minutes and AVG antispyware Should Auto update itself. If it doesn't click update at top of screen.
  • This is very important to get updates
  • When updating has finished. Close AVG antispyware.

If you have an "always on" connection to the internet, physically disconnect that connection until you are finished with Safe Mode and have rebooted back into normal mode.

  • Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear use arrow up to highlight
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.
  • For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site: HERE

    You MUST manage to get into Safe Mode for the fix to work.

Make sure to close all open windows/programs/folders. Have nothing else open while AVG antispyware performs its scan!

  • Run AVG antispyware.
  • Click on scanner at top of AVG antispyware sceen.
  • Click on Settings.
  • Under How to Act click on Recommended Action and choose Quarantine.
  • Under How to scan all boxes should be selected.
  • Under Possibly unwanted software all boxes should be selected.
  • On right side under Reports: click on Automatically generate report after every scan.
  • Under What to scan select scan every file.
  • Click On scan Tab.
  • Click on Complete system scan.
  • Let the program scan the machine It can take awhile give it time.
  • When scan has finished at bottom of screen click Apply all Actions.

Can i just go and delete them or do I have to do anything special?

Under How to Act click on Recommended Action and choose Quarantine.

Already posted the answer in the post :)

Of course what an idiot!
I still have the isearch and IMIServer Plugin on my aol spyware program. What i did do was delete the aol spyware program and reinstalled it but it still comes up with them being found. Any Ideas?
Cheers
Ken

Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about the AOL program. Hopefully someone else can help you with the answer.
Unless.......if you uninstall it again and then delete everything related to the program, registry entries included, reboot, then reinstall and see what happens.

Thanks crunchie. Just out of interest pm me if you wish but what is the significance of doing thinks in safe mode?

In safe mode, Windows only loads up enough drivers etc to operate, which means that any files etc that need to be removed, can be, as they are not running.

Thanks for your help
Ken

No problem :).
