    I've got Ceres on my computer and could use some help killing it. I just downloaded HJT and have run it, but will not post the results until asked (as per Major Geeks orders).

    Anyone care to help?

    First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread if you have not already
    READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal


    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:



    • Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT
    • Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file.
    • Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.
    • Run HijackThis and save your log file.
    • Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    There are no signs of you doing the online scans, please do ALL the steps in the READ ME before we continue.

    After doing all of those steps please do the following below and afterwards post a new HJT log.

    Download and install Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware during the install make sure you get any updates BUT BEFORE YOU START THE SCAN: Print or save these instructions locally now because you will have to be disconnected with no browsers open in the following steps.

    Please make sure ALL Browser Windows are Closed and also you should physically disconnect from the Internet by unplugging your cable. Do not reconnect or open a browser again until requested.

    Now allow the Microsoft Antispyware program to run a full scan. After it completes, reboot again in normal boot mode and continue the below steps.

    Are you familiar with these entries, if so leave them as is, if not have HJT fix them.


    Please look in Add or Remove Programs for the following and Uninstall them if found:

    Isrvs

    Ebates

    WebRebates


    Now scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

    Make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    NEXT:
    Run CCleaner and Spybot S&D and have Spybot fix what it finds.
    Note: Dont forget to update Spybot S&D by selecting "Search For Updates"

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start > Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
