    was on AIM and a buddy sent me a link. I clicked it, downloaded it, and was sad to see that it was a virus that sent that same link to everyone on my list. After i signed off and on, it appeared to be normal. A few days later, i turned it on and it said that freeprod was downloading, and i gave me emoticons...I was baffled, but nothing else seemed to happen so I just removed it and went about buisness...This morning the same thing happened, but this time my toolbar wouldnt work(along with start button) I opened my web browser and it worked, but it didnt show up at the bottom...I thought it was weird, but just restarted my comp. When I checked it this time, nothing worked, and i had to do everything with Ctrl. + Alt. + Delete, so i looked up cures for my problem. I got the same long process involving HiJack and everything. I tried your step by step thing, but nothing is working, so Ive decided to entrust you with my problem. Anyone?

    I already told you what to do next in message # 3. Follow the steps in the HJT link and post your log.

    Please read and follow the steps in the below link again. You did not install HJT properly as requested. But do not post another log yet!

    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    After getting HJT installed properly continue with below (make sure you run it in safe mode).

    Download EliteToolbar Remover do not run it yet. Just extract it to its own folder.

    And then follow the steps in this link: Running Ewido Security Suite however do not reboot into normal mode at the end of the steps of using Ewido (you will see that in the link). First complete the below scan with EliteToolbar Remover.

    Run the ETRemover_v210.exe file by double clicking on it.

    Now reboot into normal mode and attach your Ewido log, a new HJT log and tell me how these steps went.

    Note: since EliteToolBar remover has just been updated, the executable file name is now:

    ETRemover_v212.exe

    While Ewido fixed a bunch of bad things, you still have problems, including EliteToolbar. Are you sure you ran the new version ( ETRemover_v212.exe ) and that you ran it in safe mode with all browsers windows closed? Try it again. Take note of any messages it gives you.

    Also look for the belowin Add/Remove programs and uninstall if found:
    Need2Find or Need2Find Bar
    WinTools
    WeatherBug

    Stay away from the AskJeeves website. That maybe be where you picked up some of this. See:
    http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/installations/askjeeves-banner/


    Now let's continue with some fixes.
    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
    C:\Program Files\Pcmt\Duxoyyh.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\etb\pokapoka76.exe

    After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
    Then please click "Scan" and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    O2 - BHO: Need2Find Bar BHO - {4D1C4E81-A32A-416b-BCDB-33B3EF3617D3} - C:\Program Files\Need2Find\bar\1.bin\ND2FNBAR.DLL
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {AFDDB832-A42E-93CC-85E1-3C362899A1E6} - C:\WINDOWS\FYI\rhhnweumop.dll (file missing)
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {77FBF9B8-1D37-4FF2-9CED-192D8E3ABA6F} - (no file)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Uninstall_WinTools] C:\WINDOWS\Temp\WTuninst.exe /remove
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Kmvheof] C:\Program Files\Pcmt\Duxoyyh.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System service76] C:\WINDOWS\etb\pokapoka76.exe
    O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://ka.bar.need2find.com/KA/menusearch.html?p=KA
    O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)
    O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp\WTuninst.exe
    C:\Program Files\Need2Find <--- the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\FYI <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\Pcmt <--- the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\etb <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\AWS <--- the whole folder

    If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

    Let me know if you run into any problems deleting the above.

    Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST). Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.

    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.
