I opened the horrible familypostcard2008 file!!

Welcome to Major Geeks!

It would be more helpful if you ran the scans in normal boot mode rather than safe mode. Or is your problem making it impossible to run in normal boot mode.

Is your copy of Spy Sweeper a paid copy or a free trial?

• If free, uninstall it now.
• If paid, keep Spy Sweeper and uninstall Windows Defender now.

Is the below LapNetWizard something you know about and installed? Why does it show a date for next year? both files are probably for it.

Code:

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\"
lapnet~1.exe  Jan  3 2008      946176  "LapNetWizard.exe"
 
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\"
xplnmon.dll   Jan  3 2008       15360  "XPLNMon.dll"

Hmmm??? Is the date on your PC correct? Here is another file showing next year:

Code:

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\"
adober~1.lnk  Jan 12 2008        1740  "Adobe Reader 7.0.lnk"

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9
Viewpoint Media Player <-- should have been uninstalled in step 0 of the READ ME


You only show one potentially bad driver file. Let's remove it and see what happens.

Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.

• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
• Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
• Check the 'Input script manually' box.
• Click on the magnifying glass icon.
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it in the box that opens:

• Now click the 'Done' button.
• Click on the traffic light icon and OK the prompt.
• You will be prompted to restart, OK the prompt and your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt

After reboot look for all of the above files we had Avenger attempt to delete. If you still see them, delete them yourself.

Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Your logs are clean but I still have the same question about LapNetWizard that you did not address.

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

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
   • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
2. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN
   • Now type combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
   • Note: The space between the X and the U, it must be there.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
4. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
5. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
6. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
7. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
8. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
9. 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.
10. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
11. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
12. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
