Need help removing adssite

The other day I downloaded something and got adssite and something called rightonadz. Both create IE popups even when I'm on firefox. I use adaware and spybot for spyware problems. Spybot can find the adssite stuff but when I select fix selected problems, it deletes it but two seconds later it's back on my computer. I've tried booting my computer in safemode and trying that but spybot can't find it in safemode. Not sure what else I can do

I downloaded the hijackthis program on this site and here is the log file:

• Edit by bjgarrick: Inline HJT log removed. READ & RUN ME sticky not followed.

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

Read & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

 

Sorry about that. I went and downloaded the recommended programs. Combofix and MGtools don't work on my system. MGtools because I have a 64bit proc and I don't know why combofix doesn't work.

 

See if you can attach a log from the below...

• Using GetRunKey
• Using ShowNew

 

Show New wouldn't work, but RunKey did. I attached the log.

Thanks for your help

 

What does ShowNew do when you try to run it? Any errors?

 

Yes. I'm at work now so I'm going by memory but it was the 64-bit error. I believe it said that it was incompatible with my 64-bit copy of Windows.

 

For now, can you run AVG AntiSpyware and attach a log? Also, I need a HJT log. I am not familiar with x64 bit systems so I'm not 100% sure what is compat. and what is not.

 

Attached are the two logs.

 

If possible, let's relocate and rename HJT. Relocate it to C:\Program Files\HJT and rename it to "analyzethis.exe" and then attach a fresh log.

 

Sorry I'm not very computer savvy Do you want me to reinstall the program to my c drive instead of my f drive?

 

Yes! If "F" is your primary partition where Windows is installed to.

Also, see this thread: SUPERAntiSpyware - running & getting a log

 

Sorry haven't had a chance to reply yet. I'm having problems with Firefox now and the browser keeps closing. Anyway, attached is the log for Super Anti-Spy.

Thanks again for all your help!

 

I am not 100% sure about the compatability of Killbox and x64 systems. Try the below steps, if Killbox will NOT run then manually locate and delete the files I request be removed by Killbox.

Download Pocket KillBox

• Save it to your desktop or a place easy to find.
• Do not run it yet

Now have HJT fix the below entries...

Next, manually locate and delete the folder below...

C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\ADSSITE ADVANCED TOOLBAR

Next, you will be entering items into Pocket KillBox. Please select the “Delete on Reboot” Option. Copy&Paste each of the file names listed below into the box one by one, making sure Delete on Reboot is Checked for each entry. Click the Red X for each entry, but DO NOT Allow your machine to be rebooted until the last item has been entered:

** Note: For any of the .dll files, check the Unregister .dll Before Deleting box as well. If this option is not enabled, don't worry about it.

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

Finally, run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

Once you complete this post, reboot once more and attach a fresh HJT log.

 

Killbox did work on my system. Attached is the new HJT log

 

Have HJT fix the below entry....

Are you having any current problems?

 

I deleted the file you listed. The random popups have stopped but I'm having another problem now. Certain sites cause firefox to shutdown. It's completely random as well. One of the sites is actually this one. I can access the forums but if I try and reply, firefox crashes. Also, on some occasions when a site is loading it will stop in the middle of the page load and freeze. I can close the window, but everytime this happens and I try to restart firefox I get an error message saying that firefox is already running even though I don't have a browser open.

Should I try just reinstalling firefox?

 

I would uninstall and reinstall the most current version. If that does not fix your issue then I recommend the Software Forum.
