Euh. Malware.

Welcome to Major Geeks!

To remove the infections that remain in System Restore folders, you must disable-enable (toggle) System Restore. My instructions below will include this in final steps since you appear to be in pretty good shape now.


Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Uninstall the below software:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
Viewpoint Media Player <-- should have been uninstalled in step 1 of the READ ME

Now delete the below leftover folders from McAfee and Symantec:
c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data\McAfee
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee
c:\documents and settings\Administrator\Application Data\McAfee
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee.com
c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data\Symantec
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec


Now copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.

Now run Ccleaner to clean out only temp files and nothing else!



If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
   • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
5. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
6. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
7. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
8. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 the READ ME for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

You're welcome.

Yes! We don't like people to use the registry cleaners since they can frequently get themselves into trouble by just blindly removing everything that shows up. It is also rarely necessary to clean the registry and does not really improve performance like some tools will imply. At least not to any noticeable amount. The possible dangers outweigh any benefit.

You did not have the old MS Java installed. You already have Sun Java.

It is just put into a holding cell where it is no longer active. You need to empty your quarantine after you are sure it was not a false detection.
