    TDSS couldn't initialize log; received an error telling me so at startup. LOTS of unknown processes slowing computer to a crawl. Thanks in advance. :)

    Uninstall the below:

    • [*]Search Protect by conduit
      [*]SweetPacks Updater Service

    Re run Hitman and have it delete Potential Unwanted Programs.

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

    Tell me how things are running.

    Actually running somewhat faster now. Still, there are many questionable processes running and speed is not up to par, but not crawling anymore... here's the log, please help me clean the rest of the trash up, thanks in advance. :major

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) 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:

    • R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - - (no file)
    • O2 - BHO: Updater By SweetPacks Helper - {7D4F1959-3F72-49d5-8E59-F02F8AA6815D} - C:\Program Files\Updater By SweetPacks\Extension32.dll
    • O2 - BHO: SWEETIE - {EEE6C35C-6118-11DC-9C72-001320C79847} - C:\Program Files (x86)\SweetIM\Toolbars\Internet Explorer\mgToolbarIE.dll
    • O3 - Toolbar: SweetPacks Toolbar for Internet Explorer - {EEE6C35B-6118-11DC-9C72-001320C79847} - C:\Program Files (x86)\SweetIM\Toolbars\Internet Explorer\mgToolbarIE.dll
    • O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [SpUninstallCleanUp] REG delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SearchProtect /f
    • O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [SpUninstallDeleteDir] rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\tonyndonna\AppData\Roaming\SearchProtect"
    • O23 - Service: Updater By SweetPacks - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Updater By SweetPacks\ExtensionUpdaterService.exe

    After clicking Fix exit HJT.



    Delete these folders:
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\SearchProtect
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\SweetIM



    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 the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

    What problems remain?

    Still have "search index", "Search protocol" and "Search Protect" in my running processes; still seem to be pretty infected... at times, very slow, at other times cannot get online at all until I restart.

    http://imageshack.us/a/img841/7292/thisisujrt.gif Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
    • Please save the work in your browsers before proceeding.
    • Double-click JRT.exe to run (Vista/7 right-click and select Run as Administrator)
    • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Please attach JRT.txt to your next message. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

    Download OTL to your desktop.

    • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
    • Vista and Windows 7 users Right-click OTL and choose Run as Administrator)
    • When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
    • Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
    • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

    When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

    Attach both of these logs into your next reply.

    Any better?
