    Hi everyone,
    I am experiencing some problems on my pc: 5 icons appeared on my desktop (Casino Online, Tune Up My PC, Find A Date, My Antivirus Update and Cellphone Ringtones), new toolbars appear in internet explorer, deleted files on my desktop do not disappear immediately but only after a refresh, the icons of some of my files do not appear or are different from what they should look like. Moreover, the pc seems slower than usual.
    I have read the basic tutorial and I have gone through all of the steps indicated there, removing a lot of viruses, trojans and so forth, but still I have this kind of problems. I have also deleted some entries in the Hijack This logfile using the suggestions in your website.
    Should I post my log file?
    Please help me!
    Thx,
    Roberto

    I forgot to write that I had the great idea of installing messenger plus, some people told me that this could be the origin of at least some of my problems.
    I hope this helps.

    Please be patient, we are very busy here in the Spyware Forum. One of our main guys is on vacation so it's tough. We come in when time permits for us.

    Please follow standard cleanup procedures as given below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:



    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif 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 as your backups will not be safely stored.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifBefore 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.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifRun HijackThis and save your log file.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).
