    Download this trial version of Ewido Security Suite
    • Install ewido security suite
    • Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
    • The program will have a window come up. One of the buttons on the left is to Update. Click the Update button.and then Start the Update. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
    • After it completes the update, click the Scanner button

    Now exit Ewido. Now print the below instructions or save them locally because I want you do have no browsers opened and also have no connection to the internet (unplug your cable) while doing the below.

    Okay, reboot into safe mode and follow the steps below. (If you have any problems at all trying to get into safe mode to complete these steps, just run them in normal boot mode and make sure you tell me when you come back.)

    Open up Ewido and do the following:

    • Click on Scanner
    • Then click Settings
    • Under What to Scan? Select Scan every file
    • Then click OK
    • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will start.
    • Let the program scan the machine
    While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files that are infected. Leave the defaults selections (to Remove and backup) and click OK. To save yourself some time, you can select Perform action with all infections and then click OK. With the option to scan every file, a lot of cookies will be removed.

    Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report

    • Click Save report
    • Save the report to your desktop or anyplace you will be able to find it to upload here.
    Reboot into normal mode and reconnect to the internet.

    Come back here and post the Ewido Scan Report along with a fresh HJT log.

    I'll try to keep you moving along for when BJ gets back in. Continue with the below.

    Try using the msconfig method to boot in safe mode. See the below on how to do this:

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406

    Download smitRem.exe and save the file to your desktop.

    Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

    Reboot into safe mode.

    Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen. Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

    The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of the drive that you ran the batch file on, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please attach this log to your next reply.

    First, please uninstall Ewido as it could block parts of this fix.

    Now scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

    O9 - Extra button: Yahoo! Services - {5BAB4B5B-68BC-4B02-94D6-2FC0DE4A7897} - C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Common\yiesrvc.dll (file missing)

    Make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    NEXT:
    Run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

    Run full scans with Ad-Aware SE & Spybot S&D and have both programs fix what they find.
    Note: Remember to get all updates before doing the scans.

    NOW:
    Navigate to and DELETE the following if they should remain:

    C:\Program Files\PSGuard <-- Delete the whole folder!

    Download Pocket KillBox


    Next, you will be entering items into Pocket KillBox. Please select the “Delete on Reboot” Option. Copy&Paste each of the file names listed below into the box one by one, making sure Delete on Reboot is Checked for each entry. Click the Red X for each entry, but DO NOT Allow your machine to be rebooted until the last item has been entered:

    ** Note: For any of the .dll files, check the Unregister .dll Before Deleting box as well. If this option is not enabled, don't worry about it.

    • If you get an error message about Pending Operations, just reboot your computer manually.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvctrl.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvol.tlb
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ncompat.tlb
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp***.tmp


    After you have entered the last entry have killbox reboot your system. After you have rebooted and windows has loaded let me know how things are running and if any problems remain.
