Trek Blue Error Nuker-removed...or not??

After running Spybot today, it showed "Trek Blue Error Nuker" as a problem. I "googled" it and found out others had problems with it still showing up even after fixing it with Spybot.. I fixed it with Spybot and rebooted. Ran Spybot again but it didn't show up again as it has for others. Didn't show up with Adaware or anything else.
How can I find out if it was REALLY fixed since others are saying Spybot didn't fix it for them?

 

If SpyBot said it fixed it successfully then I would be willing to bet it really removed it.

Was it files or registry entries?

 

Alright I'm willing to show my ignorance because you always seem to be patient with those of us learning as we go, so the answer is...I don't know, but I think registry entries.
How can I tell?
Thank you in advance oh Great Computer God and Fixer of All ignorant Computer Geek Foul Ups-

 

First, do you know what it detected, registry entries, files? If so can you get me a log from Spybot?

Also, check in the backups and see if you can find some information there about what it found.

 

Okay, I did a little playing around and learned a lot more about what I can do with Spybot other than "scan and fix". Didn't know about the logs or reports. Just never had to use it before.
I have attached what I think you're looking for.
Thanks so much for your time-

 

Doesn't show anything, I would be willing to bet it's gone. I've never seen a case where SpyBot claimed it fixed something and really did not.

Download CWShredder 2.18, save to your desktop and double click to run. Let me know if this finds anything.

 

ran CWShredder and it says found 1 variant:CWS.Qttasks. I googled it and the onfo I found was conflicting and confusing except for info on CWShredder site. It stated as follows:

"CWS.Qttasks
Variant 21: CWS.Qttasks
Approx date first sighted: November 23, 2003
Symptoms: IE pages being changed to start-space.com
Cleverness: 2/10
Manual removal difficulty: Involves some Registry editing
Mimicking the legit 'QuickTime Task' autorun entry in the Registry (which is in the HKLM hive), this variant loaded at startup and changed only the Start Page to start-space.com"
I haven't had any problems with pages being changed to space.com, though.
Your opinion/advice...
Thanks-

 

Download Pocket KillBox
(Don't run it yet)

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 cwsfix.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 cwsfix.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 merge, click YES!


Locate PocketKillbox
(Procede with this step even if they do not show in blue)

Now, Copy and Paste C:\WINDOWS\system32\qttasks.exe into the box – If it exists, it will show up in Blue. Check the option to Delete on Reboot and Click the Red X and Yes to the confirmation message. A message will ask if you want to reboot now – Click YES.

• If you get an error message about Pending Operations, just reboot your computer manually.

After you have rebooted, let me know how things are running.

 

Did everything you said to do...Haven't noticed any negative reactions so far.
Thanks for all your help and I will let you know if I have any problems.
Take care-

This is what I have: the whole Norton package (AntiVirus\Internet Security, and I use their firewall), Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, Microsoft AntiSpyware, BHODemon, stinger and CCleaner. I update and run weekly.
With your help in solving my problem I have added cwshredder and KillBox.
Because I'm a geek neophyte I have to work extra hard at keeping my pc clean...and even harder to clean it after I have screwed it up!!!!! (^_^)
I've read all the stuff here and tried to live by it but I have to admit, I don't realize I don't understand something until I screw something up and have to fix it and then I realize..."aha, that's what they were talking about".
So until I become a real geek, I'm just a goober!
Take care and thanks again-
