    Please follow the steps below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    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 below:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    You still have not completed ALL the steps in the READ ME FIRST. Please do so.

    Also download this file: SpSeHjfix109

    Unzip it to your desktop or to a folder.

    Boot into Safe Mode

    Start SpSeHjfix, click on " Desinfecton starten" (the other button means close) then it will reboot and finish the cleaning.

    Run SpSeHjfix one more time.

    Reboot in Normal mode.

    Run HijackThis again and post a new log (but only if you have complete ALL steps in the READ ME. You must run the online scanners and everything else you may have skipped). Also post the log from SpSeHjfix, the log should be on your desktop or the same folder as SpSeHjfix.

    Are the below two items things you downloaded and installed on purpose?

    O2 - BHO: WgBHO Class - {67E9834D-B226-49E6-B6F6-85AA64E14BA3} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\FREE DOWNLOAD MANAGER\IEFDM.DLL

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SPYKILLER] C:\PROGRAM FILES\ANONYMIZER\SK\SPYWAREKILLER.EXE /BOOT

    Do you realize how out of date you are with you Microsoft updates? Look at your IE version: Internet Explorer v5.50 SP1 (5.50.4134.0100)
    No wonder you are having problems. After we fix current problems, you must get updated.

    Was that HJT log obtained before or after run the SpSeHjfix109 tool? It seems like it was before because the tool thought it fixed the problem but it still shows in your log. Follow the steps given below.

    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Look in Add/Remove programs and uninstall GuardBar if found.

    Run HijackThis 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:
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\se.dll/spage.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\se.dll/spage.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {AA58ED58-01DD-4d91-8333-CF10577473F7} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {08227B4B-54FE-4C4D-809F-BCA46292FC5B} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8DA5457F-A8AA-4CCF-A842-70E6FD274094} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: NavErrRedir Class - {0026AD90-C86F-4269-97F3-DAB4897C6D06} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: BTGrabObj Class - {00000000-F09C-02B4-6EC2-AD0300000000} - C:\WINDOWS\BTGRAB.DLL
    O2 - BHO: GuardBar.BHO - {62F5BBB6-A71E-46E7-AE78-73D25185EDC8} - C:\Program Files\GuardBar\GuardBar.dll
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F} - (no file)
    O3 - Toolbar: GuardBar - {7F4D8DE6-AC92-4A13-9DE9-F360736F2464} - C:\Program Files\GuardBar\GuardBar.dll
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zpfujj] c:\windows\system\zpfujj.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sp] rundll32 C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\SE.DLL,DllInstall

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\Program Files\GuardBar <--- the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\BTGRAB.DLL
    c:\windows\system\zpfujj.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\SE.DLL

    If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.
    Now run SpSeHjfix fix again. Make sure you run it twice.

    Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST).

    Now we need to Reset Web Settings:
    1) If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.
    2) Now right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK. Then skip step 3.
    3) If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. Also post the SpSeHjfix log.
    And tell us how things are working.


    Do not reboot your PC at this point. We need to make sure the problem is fixed before rebooting or it could mutate.

    You did not answer the questions at the top of my previous message?

    SPYWAREKILLER is probably not doing you much good. It was never though to be worthwhile.


    Your log is now clean and you need to get your Windows Updates which is part of the next steps you need to run in the below thread:

    How to Protect yourself from malware!

    Answer to your question: yes. I installed SpywareKiller on purpose and boughted at Wal-Mart. I downloaded FreeDownloadManager because I was interested of getting it.
