    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following:

    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.
    * Do not change any check box options!!
    * Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

    * Now click the Execute button.
    * Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
    * Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
    * Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    * A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

    Now run CCleaner and remove all your temp files.

    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.

    When I double clicked fixME.reg a window opened asking what program I wanted to use to open it.:confused

    Also, I ran Avenger twice because I hadn't finished typing everything the first time. Can I get senior citizens discount on speed and accuracy?

    The computer seems to be doing well! Thank you.

    Yes...something has been messing with the reg associations..let's fix that:

    Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as RegFix.reg to your desktop. Be sure the
    "Save as" type is set to "all files". Then Click Start, Run, and enter regedit and click OK.
    This will open the Registry Editor.

    In the Registry Editor click File and Import. Navigate to the RegFix.reg patch you saved on your
    Desktop and double click on it. Click OK at the prompt to add to the registry. Do you get a success
    message for this?
    Then retry the fixME.reg patch.

    Then find and delete:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\yzifircj

    Tell me how that goes and if you are having any other issues.

    I got a success message for the RegFix.reg patch and for the fixMe.reg patch. I found and deleted C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\yzifircj.

    The computer seems to be enjoying good health. I am enjoying following your directions. Maybe I will learn something!

    Before this latest endeavor, I was about to tell you of a "stop error" message from microsoft. Probably, you just fixed it, but I will attach the error signature for you.

    Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune. This program does not require an installation. The executable actually runs the program.

    NOTE: This program is for Windows XP and Windows 2000 only. ATF Cleaner will remove all files from the items that are checked so if you have some cookies you'd like to save. Please move them to a different directory first.

    * Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
    * Under Main choose: Select All
    * Click the Empty Selected button.

    If you use Firefox browser

    * Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
    * Click the Empty Selected button.
    o NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

    If you use Opera browser

    * Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
    * Click the Empty Selected button.
    o NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

    Click Exit on the Main ATF Cleaner menu to close the program.

    Make sure that your temp files have been deleted.

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

    1. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
    2.
    * Click START then RUN
    * Now type combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
    * Note: The space between the X and the /U, it must be there.
    3. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    4. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    5. 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.
    6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
