    I had the WinFixer program, and I think I got rid of it, but would like a second pair of eyes to help validate.

    I ran all the steps on the readme thread. Here is a summary...
    TrendMicro found some Office 2000 errors which I will fix at a later time.
    BitDefender found the Weatherbug program as a part of AIM.

    Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Microsoft Anti-spyware all came back with clean scans.

    I went through all the instructions on the Virtumonde page. I had a dll on both the O2 and O20 section of HijackThis. I think I caught the Winfixer, but would like an experienced set of eyes to double-check for me.

    Also, I would gladly accept advice on programs to delete. My wife loves to download games on our PC, and would like to delete as many as I can as well as any unneeded programs that may be starting at startup. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your time.

    Download this trial version of Ewido Security Suite

    • Install ewido security suite
    • Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
    • The program will have a window come up. One of the buttons on the left is to Update. Click the Update button.and then Start the Update. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
    • After it completes the update, click the Scanner button

    Now exit Ewido. Now print the below instructions or save them locally because I want you do have no browsers opened and also have no connection to the internet (unplug your cable) while doing the below.

    Okay, reboot into safe mode and follow the steps below. (If you have any problems at all trying to get into safe mode to complete these steps, just run them in normal boot mode and make sure you tell me when you come back.)

    Open up Ewido and do the following:


    • Click on Scanner
    • Then click Settings
    • Under What to Scan? Select Scan every file
    • Then click OK
    • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will start.
    • Let the program scan the machine
    While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files that are infected. Leave the defaults selections (to Remove and backup) and click OK. To save yourself some time, you can select Perform action with all infections and then click OK. With the option to scan every file, a lot of cookies will be removed.

    Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report


    • Click Save report
    • Save the report to your desktop or anyplace you will be able to find it to upload here.
    Reboot into normal mode and reconnect to the internet.

    Come back here and post the Ewido Scan Report along with a fresh HJT log.

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

    Again, make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    NEXT:
    Run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

    Run full scans with Ad-Aware SE & Spybot S&D and have both programs fix what they find.
    Note: Remember to get all updates before doing the scans.

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


    And Click OK.


    After you complete all of the above reboot and attach a fresh HJT log.

    Done...however, I think there is an issue with Disk Cleaner on my PC. It seems to hang on the "Scanning: Compress old files". I hung there for 30 minutes before I canceled the operation. Still, the Spybot and Ad-Aware came back clean.

    Thanks again.
