My Malware Story

Welcome to Major Geek & you're welcome!

I see earlier you were having problems getting your posts to appear. The spam filters were trapping based upon some of the content in the message. I have merged the logs from your other thread into this thread.

You can uninstall CounterSpy now too since we are finished with it.

Also uninstall the below old versions of software:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11

Make sure you reboot after uninstalling the above!

After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment


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:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {9E93A147-E3F9-47AB-BAF0-915CCAAA7034} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssqqnli.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now 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 reboot in normal mode
Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

1. GetRunKey
2. ShowNew
3. HJT

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.
