    1) Please put your machine into normal start up mode as requested in the R&R before we continue with the below:

    2) 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:

    After clicking Fix exit HJT.

    3) Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

    • Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
    • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    • Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it
    (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    
    KILLALL::
    
    Drivers::
    yqbi5ii6agauia
    gel90xne
    
    File::
    c:\windows\system32\sybe.exe
    c:\windows\Tasks\B11F35CF9110B007.job
    c:\docume~1\Ellie\LOCALS~1\Temp\gel90xne.sys
    C:\DOCUME~1\Dean\APPLIC~1\HELPAI~1\2BUILD.exe
    c:\docume~1\dean\applic~1\helpai~1\this amok itch.exe
    
    DirLook::
    c:\program files\McDonaldsFairies
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\{7972B2E5-3E09-4E5E-81B7-FE5819D6772F}
    
    Folder::
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\dumb pure bind support
    c:\program files\HELPAIMLIVE
    c:\program files\McDonaldsFairies
    
    
    Registry::
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045}]
    
    
    
    • Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    • At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    • You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
    • Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

    • Follow the prompts.
    • When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
    • I will ask for this log below

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


    4) Also delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).

    • C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    • C:\Documents and Settings\Dean\Local Settings\TEMP

    5) 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 Combofix.

    6) Let us know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.

    Hi kestrel many thnax for your help in this matter i have performed all the tasks you have asked and have attatched the log files as requested. One small prob, was unknown to me untill i run the various tasks, was that my brother who believes he knows about computers, came round and i have since found out he run the registry cleaner on Ccleaner, and just deleted everything that it brought up, needless to say i have since changed the password on my account so he can now no longer gain access to my account with these programs on. But during running these programs the only exe file that i could not see after running MGtools for the first time was this file:

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Fastfirst] C:\DOCUME~1\Dean\APPLIC~1\HELPAI~1\2BUILD.exe

    but other than that i have run all other tasks as requested and there were no further problems, after running several searches using google toolbar i dont seem to have any popups at all !!!!!!!!!!!!:-D

    i cant thank you enough for the help you have given me, i hope to stay upto date with everything on this site and if there is anything else you need to know after looking at my log files then please let me know.

    OK welcome back. Considering it has been a few days could you please now do the below:

    Go to this MGTools and download the new version of MGtools.exe. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

    Run the new MGTools.exe and attach the log that it generates into your next reply ---> C:\mglogs.zip

    Let me know how things are running!

    Thanks
    Kes
