Just cleaned out my XP Laptop

Am heading across town soon, but I will review your logs and post back with an appropriate fix as soon as possible.

 

1. You failed to install SUPERantispyware which is one of the scans we ask that you run. I will have you do this a little further down, let's make some progress first.

2. Are you set up for/use the below proxy? If not then please include it in our fixables

2. Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

After clicking Fix exit HJT.

3. Now we need to use ComboFix

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:

Code:

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
  
  
  
  
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

4. Also delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).

5. At this point I would like for you to download, install and run SUPERantispyware as per the instructions in the R&R.

6. Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from SUPERantispyware.

7. Now tell me how the machine is behaving.

 

Oh really? Well what were you trying to delete things manually for when I gave you a good fix?

 

That's a shame that you had to format the machine I shall lock the thread now at your request. Safe surfing
