READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

Pay attention to downloading, installing and renaming HJT!

When you have the requested logs, please attach them to your next posts.

 

As I stated before...pay attention to the instructions for HJT. You have it exactly where we tell you not to install it:
C:\Documents and Settings\Matt Hindt\Desktop\HijackThis.exe ---> it should be:
C:\Program Files\HijackThis\analyse.exe!

Please uninstall it and reinstall as directed.
Also uninstall:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
URL Assistant
Sunbelt Counterspy ---> we are finished with it.

Run HijackThis and 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.

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

Re-run HJT and have it fix this item:
R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)

After clicking fix, exit HJT.

Now:
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.

Do you have your control panel back? Tell me how things are running.

 

Yes...right click it / properties and you should have the full path to it ...then run avenger and input that path into the Files to delete: ....
If everything else is running ok ...
