    Hello everyone. This is my first post here, although I have browsed the forum for quite a while. I decided to finally resister after getting a series of viruses/malware after letting some friends use my PC and from what I can tell you guys are the experts :) !

    I've tried to remove them with Adaware and Spybot, but they come right back on reboot. It has also disabled my Task Manager by default, so I have been having to use a reg edit file to get that back every time.

    Here's a hijackthis scan that I just did after rebooting. Hopefully someone out there can help me out. I would appreciate it a lot!

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    You have a lot of serious infections. This is really due to the below facts:
    1. Windows OS is not updated with current patches
    2. No antivirus application
    3. No realtime antispyware application
    4. No firewall
    Please follow 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. MAKE SURE you install and rename HijackThis as requested to avoid further delays.
    • 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!
