    If you have run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal and you still have problems, run the steps below.

    - 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).

    You did not follow directions on installing HijackThis. You are running it from the ZIP file which I specifically requested not to do. See this in your log:
    C:\DOCUME~1\Bob\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe

    You must extract the exe file out of the ZIP file into the folder indicated. Do this before continuing or you will not get any backups.

    You show a process left over from an AVPersonal install.
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AVGCtrl] "C:\Program Files\AVPersonal\AVGNT.EXE" /min

    Did you uninstall this? You must only have one AV package installed.

    After completing what I requested in my previous message, continue with these steps.

    First look in Add/Remove programs for the below and uninstall if found:
    Media Access

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, 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:\Program Files\Media Access\MediaAccK.exe
    C:\Program Files\Media Access\MediaAccess.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:
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\DOCUME~1\Bob\LOCALS~1\Temp\se.dll/spage.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://hsremove.com/done.htm

    O15 - Trusted Zone: *.sonystyle-europe.com
    O15 - Trusted Zone: *.vaio-link.com
    O15 - Trusted Zone: http://ny.contentmatch.net (HKLM)

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\Program Files\Media Access <--- the whole folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\Bob\Local Settings\Temp\se.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\sixtypopsix.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\oah.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\uk_nm.exe
    C:\windows\system32\eliteggs32.exe <--- when deleting this, also look for any other file names beginning with elite and ending in exe. There could be as many as ten others.

    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 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.

    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

    Chas

    aplogies for putting hijack this in the wrong file! -I,m a bit of an amateur at this

    AVG was removed prevoiusly

    The good news is that "media access" was completely removed by add/remove programmes

    The bad news is that my original three problems found on spybot still exist

    I have four other accounts on this pc do i need to post their logs?

    Also I found five infected files on Outlook express using ravantivirus which hav,nt been automatically deleted - I,ve got their message numbers but I dont know how to identify them in Outlook express programme

    Your continued help is much appreciated

    Bob

    Run HJT and have it fix the below line:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AVGCtrl] "C:\Program Files\AVPersonal\AVGNT.EXE" /min

    The boot into safe mode and delete
    C:\Program Files\AVPersonal <--- the whole folder.

    Now reboot in normal mode and run a scan with Spybot S&D and post its log.

    Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file fixspy.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.) Double-click on the fixspy.reg file on your desktop (or locate it with Windows Explorer and double click on it if not saved to the Desktop) and when it prompts to add into the registry say yes.
    After doing the above check Spybot now. Tell me how things look.
