    My pc got hijacked yesterday. I run AVG home edition Free, but got nailed by loads of pop ups and the winprofixer 2006 download. So i came to your site for help. I followed all the steps you suggested. Have installed and ran Ccleaner, win malicious software removal, Ad-Aware se, Spybot, windows defender, cwshredder, kill2me, bitdefender and panda.
    5 CWS infections and 1 look2 me detected and removed. Various adware quarantined via ad-aware.
    have updated to Sun JAva, and windows updated my root certificuts and .net frameworks. Have also installed zone alarm firewall.
    Have run hijack this and have a log file (attached).
    Hope you can help me out. Great helpful site, btw.

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please attach the BitDefender and Panda logs as requested in step 6 of the READ ME!

    Also you have left over signs from a Look2Me infection. Let's run the below to be sure it is all fixed:

    Look2Me VX2 Removal

    Don't forget to attach the Look2Me-Destroyer log.

    C,
    Thanks for looking over this for me.
    Okay, i've run bitdefender again tonight (uk!) and it found nothing, but attached log file. Also ran Panda again, and it found 12 infections. Log file attached. Also ran Look2me destroyer, and it klilled something off;log file attached.
    Re-booted, and ran Hijackthis again, so have attached new log file.
    Hope this helps, and that you can help me. My system seems to be running a lot smoother and zone alarm is blocking lots of stuff (over 400 intrusions in 12 hours, 59 of which high rated).
    Thanks again for your time,
    Nick

    Not too much here to fix! Which is good!

    First look in Add/Remove programs for Altnet and uninstall if found.

    Now use Windows Explorer to delete the below:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Companion Wizard <--- the whole folder
    E:\Program Files\altnet <--- the whole folder

    If you cannot delete the above in normal boot mode then reboot to safe mode and delete them.

    Other than that, you are clean. Is everything OK now?

    Brilliant!
    Have managed to delete all you advised in normal boot mode.
    Internet is a little bit jittery, but i guess that's because i have zone alarm firewall set to highest!
    Thanks ever so much for your help. Hopefully everything will be good now.
    Do you take donations, if so, how can i donate to you?

    One more thing, what do i do with the 300 odd files that Ad-aware has quarantined? Leave them there, or delete them?

    Thanks again,
    Nick

    Send me a Private Message and I'll explain.

    Once you are sure that they are things you do not need, just delete them.

    Make sure you work thru the below link:
