    Hollo all
    I am new to this so please bear with me
    I am running windows XP professional with Macafee (work computer, I have norton which seems to stop everything) I also have run adaware se and spybot. I have a problem with a PUP which seems to download trojans which are stopped by antivirus. I have also got hijack this and this runs as follows

    Edit by chaslang: Inline log removed! Cleaning steps not followed.

    The program, whatever it is, has hijacked my desktop and trys to send me to a spyware removal tool, which I have to pay for
    Any help much appreciated
    Please let me know if you need to know any thing else
    but please remember I am just a beginner
    many thanks
    jamie

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.


    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:

      • [*]runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
        [*]newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
