Common hijacker removal help needed

That's is a Look 2 Me VX2 problems. Normally when there is one problem there are others. Please follow the steps below. And after that we can move on to the VX2 issue.

To help us to best help you, please follow the steps below closely and in the order given and do not skip anything. If you have any difficulty, please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything along with details about any problems you may have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better. Don't be afraid to ask for additional help if you don't understand something!

- Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus RemovalMake 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:

- Download HijackThis 1.99.1

- Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

- Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

- Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

- Run HijackThis and save your log file.

- Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

 

To resolve the VX2 problem, please download the following tools below and save them where you will be able to find them. I save stuff like this to a C:\downloads\Spyware-Stuff folder and I put each in their own subfolder. It makes it easy to find. Make sure you download them from the links below:

L2MeFix Tool

Generic Detection Tool - NT/2000/XP

VX2.BetterInternet Finder XP/2k - Version Msg126

Pocket KillBox


Please make sure System Restore is OFF and the Viewing of Hidden Files is Enabled as per the tutorial.

Please print out these instructions now or save locally so that you can operate with All Browser Windows CLOSED.

Exit Browsers now before continuing


First Step:

Extract all the files from the Generic Detection Tool into its own folder.
Then run find.bat. Post the log it creates back here as an attachment (do it later when we reconnect). This file defaults to being called output.txt. Make sure you wait long enough. It will popup a notepad window with the log when finished.

Second Step:

Please move the L2MeFix Tool to your Desktop and DoubleClick l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix Folder on your Desktop. DoubleClick l2mfix.bat and Type 1 and ENTER to select Option #1 for Run Find Log . Allow it as much time as it needs to run until NotePad opens with a log.

NOTE: Please do not run any other options or files in the l2mfix Folder!

Third Step:

Get a new HJT log.


Now reconnect and come back here and post as attachments the l2mfix log the find.bat log (normally already named output.txt) and the new HJT log (this will require two posts as only two attachments can be made in a message).Based on those logs, we will determine the next steps.

Please DO NOT REBOOT after scanning for these logs!! Otherwise problems may mutate and spread. Wait for me to get back to you with the next steps.
