    It is making my pc run so slow and keeps intermittently playing sound effect ads. Not too mention the pop ups all the time.

    We still need your C:\MGLogs.zip....can you not run combofix by just double clicking it on the desktop?

    The only things I would like you to remove are:
    C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\OJ24CD.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\fxxplfnt.tmp
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll~1.tmp

    Use windows explorer to find them and delete them ...let me know if you are able so we can use another tool if you can't

    Then tell me what other issues you may have.

    Hi Tim W
    Mate I could only find one of those to remove.
    I managed to delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\fxxplfnt.tmp

    but the other 2 I couldnt find.

    They may be gone ...we can try this to check:

    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.

    Are you still having any issues?

    That's good....the exe wasn't found and the other was 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 "%userprofile%\Desktop\cf" /u in the runbox and click OK.
    * Note: The space between the cf 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:
