    hi guys,
    i am trying to get rid of some malware/spyware on my PC. Have downloaded CCleaner, getrunkey.zip and shownew.zip and already have spybot search and destroy aswell as HJT. Problem is i can't find any comprehensive guides to what i need to run etc so you guys can help.... i can't download conterspy or the AVG thing as I am on dialup speed at the moment....

    Can someone tell me what in what order to run the stuff I have, and whether anything smaller can be used as a substitute for the two I dont have?

    Thanks

    Hi

    Below is our comprehensive guide to the 1st steps in removing malware, the rest needs to have experts in malware look at the logs gained from these scans... as to substitutes.. sadly no as those 2 applications mentioned in our guide are two of the best options available today.

    Our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.




    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
