Annoying popup

First you MUST put your PC into Normal Startup mode with MSconfig. This was requested in step 1 of the READ ME. You need to do this now and leave it this way. You need to read the below link so that you stop doing using MSconfig this way:

Dealing with Startup Processes

Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it.

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

That is what Normal Startup mode is. If anything is disabled, you would be in selective startup mode.

This means ComboFix did not run properly. If necessary we can fix it manually later.

You need to attach the log from running ComboFix. This is C:\ComboFix.txt. You attached CFscript.txt which I don't need.


You also did not tell me how things are working.

 

Did you do a system restore or did you use your Recovery CD or Partition to return your PC to the state it was when you first took it out of the box?

You may still have components of malware on the PC. They may be inactive due to what you did but they could still be there.
