malware hijacked my Background file

Please install:
Java Runtime 6

Run 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.

Please copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Now attach new logs for:
ShowNew
GetRun
HJT

 

Please rename HJT:
C:\Hijackthis\Hijackthis.exe ----> C:\Hijackthis\analyse
Please uninstall Counterspy.
Run it again and attach the log.

The malware may have reset your desktop and Norton may be blocking any changes.
If you right click the desktop ....under properties do you have a theme, under desktop, do you have a background setting?
Make sure you have turned off all anti-spyware programs as well as Norton before trying to make the changes.

 

YOu only added another folder name :
C:\Program Files\HijackThis\analyse\HijackThis.exe

Is there a problem with right clicking Hijackthis.exe and renaming it to analyse as per my previous post?

Right click your desktop ..properties ...desktop tab ...web tab...uncheck the lock desktop and make sure the web page setting is My Current Home Page ( but the box is not checked).

 

Good to know.....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 you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
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 VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
7. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
* go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
* Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
