Please help me lick the last of this malware!

No it did not take care of it. You are still infected with one of the many forms of Smitfraud. You need to run the below procedure and then attach the smitfiles.txt log.

SpywareQuake & SpyFalcon Removal Procedure

You have a bunch of different problems. In fact you should have noticed Spy Sweeper mentioning winlogonhook. And if you run it again and again, you will still see it.


Now run the below procedure and attach the runkeys.txt log.

• Using GetRunKey

Now run the below procedure and attach the newfiles.txt log.

• Using ShowNew

 

That was not a good idea. You overwrote the original file so I cannot tell what it removed. The second log just indicates nothing found.

You should have uninstalled Viewpoint Manager in step 0 of the READ ME. Uninstall it now.

You have other malware problems hiding on your PC. You need to follow the directions in step 7 of the READ ME exactly as written. MAKE SURE you stop using MSconfig to control startups. This is covered when you get to step 7. You must choose Normal Startup and then attach a new HJT log.

The also attach a new runkeys.txt log.

 

Are you getting a C:\windows\system32 folder opening when you startup your PC?

Which programs are your referring to that are so annoying? My concern is with malware but you have a pile of other unnecessary stuff that perhaps you do not want.

Do you use or need the below stuff:


"GameSpot"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Kontiki\\bin\\kontiki.exe\" -s GameSpot -q"
"cnet"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Kontiki\\bin\\kontiki.exe\" -s cnet -q"

"CTStartup"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Creative\\Splash Screen\\CTEaxSpl.EXE\" /play"


I also see Spyware Doctor, Spy Sweeper, and Pest Patrol. Are they free versions or paid versions? If free, uninstall them.

You show signs of having both McAfee and Norton Antivirus applications installed. Are they both installed and which do you use? Uninstall one of them.

 

Not a good way to look to see what you have installed or running. Just observe your HJT log and see:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NAV Agent] C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\navapw32.exe

We have a whole load to cleanup and we will include Norton in the list.

Uninstall the Kontiki stuff if you do not need it.

Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Now make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

Please run HijackThis and click on the Open the Misc Tools Section button on the open page. Then select Open process manager on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click Kill process. Then click yes.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\clc.exe

After killing all the above processes, click Back.
Then please click Scan 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.
Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete (you may not find all of these but make sure you check):
C:\Program Files\WildTangent <--- the whole folder
C:\Program Files\eDonkey2000 <--- the whole folder
C:\Program Files\RSNet <--- the whole folder
C:\Program Files\Kontiki <--- the whole folder
C:\WINDOWS\iun6002.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\pmnnlif.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ssqrqrs.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\yayxvvv.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\clc.exe





DLHelperEXE.exe <--- Search your PC for this. It is probably in

c:\Documents and Settings\your_user_account\Start Menu\Programs\Startup




​

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.
Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST).

Now we need to Reset Web Settings:

1. If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.
2. Now right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK. Then skip step 3.
3. If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

Note for IE 7 users: You need to select Internet Options then the Advanced tab and then Reset Internet Explorer Settings!
Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log.

Make sure you tell me how things are working now.

Reminder Note: Once we have determined you are malware free you will need to disable System Restore, reboot, and re-enable system restore per step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. This only applies to if using WinXP or WinMe.

 

Delete that file from Prefetch. You were supposed to delete all files in prefetch in my instructions.

That file is for Windows Defender. Since you have a paid version of Spyware Doctor, you should uninstall Windows Defender now. Also you said you uninstall Pest Patrol and Spy Sweeper but pieces still show in your HJT log. Use HJT to fix the below lines:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PPMemCheck] C:\PROGRA~1\PESTPA~1\PPMemCheck.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PestPatrol Control Center] C:\PROGRA~1\PESTPA~1\PPControl.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: WRNotifier - WRLogonNTF.dll (file missing)

Not recommended for long term use. Even Microsoft only recommends MSconfig for temporary debugging. Exactly what don't you want to load. Decide which of the following categories they fit into:

- never ever want them to load
- sometimes want them to load
- have no idea what it is but I don't miss it when not loaded

 

Okay from your Never want to load list! How many of these are still installed? Uninstall them if you do not ever need them. Are you sure about not needing the all of those? If so, uninstall the ones shown in Add/Remove programs. And then make a new list of which items still remain. Note some individual processes are parts of larger packages and cannot be uninstalled separately but we can fix the small part (for example realsched.exe, CTLtray.exe, NeroCheck, InCD)

For the Don't know what it is list:
P_98116 is a left over from a DirectX upgrade. Just have HJT fix that line.

nwiz.exe is this:http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/nwiz/ and it is not necessary. You can also have HJT fix this line.

For the blank entries, use the below to clean them up:

MSConfig Cleanup

 

Use HJT to fix the below remaining items from your "Never ever want to load" list!
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickFinder Scheduler] "C:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office 2002\Programs\QFSCHD100.EXE"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroCheck] C:\WINDOWS\system32\NeroCheck.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [InCD] C:\Program Files\ahead\InCD\InCD.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CloneCDTray] "C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\CloneCD\CloneCDTray.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CloneCDElbyCDFL] "C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\CloneCD\ElbyCheck.exe" /L ElbyCDFL
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [TaskTray] C:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy\Taskbar\CTLTray.exe

No for other items that you want to use sometimes, check out the below application and let me know how you like using it instead of MSconfig.

Startup CPL

 

You're welcome.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to go back to step 1 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points. Then reboot and enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

After that, you should work thru the below link:
