ClickSpring/PurityScan - Outerinfo trouble

Hey guys I've been reading through your troubleshooting guide (READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide) trying to get rid of these spyware files but it seems that no matter how much i try it keeps coming back. So I've finally decided to join and get help. I'd been going through the guide on my own but without success. I've since gone through again up to step 6 and will post the logs requested.

 

Here are the other 3 files.

 

Download
- Pocket Killbox
- ExplorerXP

Using Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel; uninstall the following:

The installed version of Firefox on this compter is out-dated. Install the current version of FireFox from: Mozilla Firefox

You are using MsConfig to prevent several items from loading at Windows start. MsConfig is a diagnostic tool, and not intended to be used in the manner you are using MsConfig. Enable everthing you used MsConfig to disable. If you are recieving error messages, related to these items, at system start; we can fix this without using MsConfig.

Copy the contents of the below quote box to Notepad; Save As FixReg.reg to your Desktop; make sure File Type: is set to All Files (*.*).

Close Notepad.

Locate FixReg.reg on your Desktop. Double-click on it and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to merge with the registry.


Download and Install RogueRemover.

Run RogueRemover and it will walk your through the rest of the steps.

Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:

Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

Now run Pocket Killbox:

Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files
Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.

NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue..

Select:

• Delete on Reboot
• then Click on the All Files button.
• Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):
• Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
• Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click OK at any PendingFileRenameOperations prompt (and please let me know if you receive this message!).

If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

Now boot into SAFE MODE

Open ExplorerXP navigate to and DELETE the following: (Some of these may have already been deleted by Pocket Killbox)

Now run CCleaner. If you have Windows XP delete the contents of C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch.

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.

REBOOT to Normal Mode.

Post the following logs:
1. ShowNew
2. GetRunKey
3. HijackThis

 

Thank you for you help Shadow!


I'd also like to mention that my shut down speed is incredibly slow, it takes about 4 or 5 minutes and the about 2 minutes on start up. Not sure if it is related, it could just be a hardware problem but I thought I might bring it up.



Note: I'm from Australia so I imagine there will be a time difference with messages.

Looks like that scan didn't find anything.

I thought i might mention that I've been surfing the net the last couple of days, using firefox and I've gotten a blue screen error twice... It says something about "if this is the first time you've seen this error restart" and it starts dumping physical memory.

The file that is erroring is a .SYS file.. something like afg.sys or adg.sys... it started with the letter A and was 3 letters long.
Axx.SYS

Both times I got the error it was while surfing the net. I think the first time I was listening to streaming internet radio.

 

Let's start over at the beginning. Do everything in the Read ME again and post all new logs.

 

Ok gone through the read me again, here are the fresh logs.
