    Please use add/remove programs to uninstall:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10"
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11"
    Java(TM) 6 Update 2"
    Java(TM) 6 Update 3"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1
    MarketResearch ---> May not show in add/remove, so use CCleaner/Tools.
    Viewpoint Manager (Remove Only)"
    Viewpoint Media Player

    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. 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.

    Now 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 download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

    * Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
    * Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
    * Check the 'Input script manually' box.
    * Click on the magnifying glass icon.
    * Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it in the box that opens:

    * Now click the 'Done' button.
    * Click on the traffic light icon and OK the prompt.
    * You will be prompted to restart, OK the prompt and your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    * A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt

    Now download and install:
    Java Runtime 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 Avenger.

    Be sure to tell us how things are running.

    First let me say THANK YOU!!!!! Im really stressing this stupid pop up stuff its driving me nuts. Well I just finished the procedure and all of it went well everything got removed. Minus when you had me run the version similar to hijack this. All of the O4 things were not on that list just the 20 thing was.
    These were not on the list...

    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [SpybotDeletingA9672] command /c del "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk"
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [SpybotDeletingC6820] cmd /c del "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk"
    O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [SpybotDeletingB6962] command /c del "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk"
    O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [SpybotDeletingD3128] cmd /c del "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk"


    Then I ran The AVneger and it finished as well as the .bat fil in mg. here are there files attached. Thus far restarting an opening this window no pop ups yet but check the files and see if something slipped past or soemthing else i might need to get rid of.

    Can you tell me what this is:
    C:\Documents and Settings\andrew\Application Data\inst.exe

    Make sure your security software and TeaTimer is not running ......
    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. 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.

    In the meantime ...If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
    * Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    2. If we used ComboFix, you can delete the ComboFix.exe file, C:\ComboFix folder, C:\QooBox folder, C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe, C:\combofix.txt and C:\ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt logs that was created.
    3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
    4. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
    5. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
    6. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
    7. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
    8. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    9. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    10. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    * Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    * Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    11. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
