    I can't seem to keep all of the spyware off my computer. I have followed all of the instructions required prior to posting on this site. Can someone help?

    Do you mean you ran ALL of the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal


    If so, continue with the below steps. If not, please run all the steps.



    - 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 have a bunch a problems that are a pain to remove. We are going to need to run a few other tools.

    Here is one step:

    Download and install Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware and make sure you get the updates but do not run a scan yet.

    Now reboot into safe mode with no network support, make sure you have no browsers opened and then run a full scan with MS Antispyware and let it fix what it finds.

    After that follow the steps below:

    1 - Please EXTRACT all files from Qoologic Tool to its own folder - C:\Program Files\QoologicFinder . Then, DoubleClick Find-Qoologic.bat to run the tool. It should produce a log - Please attach that with your next post!

    2 - Please EXTRACT all the files form RKFiles Tool to its own folder - C:\Program Files\RKTOOL. Then, Please boot to SAFE MODE and DoubleClick rkfiles.bat to run the tool. Let it run and then, when it finishes, look for a log at C:\Log.txt and please attach that log.

    That's better but remember NO browsers: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    Complete my other steps below (do not post a new HJT log now - well wait until the other steps are finished).

    Looks like the Find-Qoologic.bat scan did not run properly. Did you wait long enough for it to complete. Were there any error messages?

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Download Pocket Killbox and save it to its own folder where you can find it.

    Read thru the below steps and make sure you understand them before starting. Ask questions if you have any before starting.

    Run Killbox by double clicking on the killbox.exe file.

    Check the following boxes:

    Standard File Kill
    End Explorer Shell While Killing file

    Copy & paste (you must use copy & paste - typing will give an error) the full path of each of the files below (one at a time - see directions after the list) into the Full Path of File to Delete box.

    C:\WINDOWS\icont.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\toolbar.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\andpd.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\nrimin.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\vqwbw.dat
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\winup2date.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\wmconfig.cpl
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\tdrp.exe: UPX!

    With the full path to the file name in the Full Path of File to Delete textbox. The filename will appear under the box in a blue color to indicate it was found. Now Click the Red X and for the confirmation message that will appear, you will need to click Yes. If the file is successfully delete you will get a message of confirmation. Just click OK!
    Do this for each of the files listed. Some will not be deleted. Make sure you keep a list of them.

    Now for any files not deleted properly above (the ones you wrote down), do the below (if all of them deleted, skip these steps):
    - in Killbox select the option to Delete on Reboot
    - uncheck the option to End Explorer Shell While Killing file

    Copy & paste the full path of each of the files you could not delete above into the box and then click the Red X and for the confirmation message that will appear, you will need to click Yes. A second message will ask to Reboot now? You will need to click No (since you are not finished adding all related files in yet).

    When you do enter the last file name that needs to be deleted, click Yes on the last file.
    Note: Killbox will let you know if the file does not exist.

    Okay so now your PC should be reboot. If you get an error message about Pending Operations, just reboot your PC yourself.

    After reboot download and install Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware and make sure you get the updates but do not run a scan yet.

    Now reboot into safe mode with no network support, make sure you have no browsers opened and then run a full scan with MS Antispyware and let it fix what it finds.

    Now while still in safe mode, please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\nsvsvc\nsvsvc.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\picsvr\picsvr.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\nrimin.exe

    After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
    Then please click "Scan" 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:
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://hsremove.com/done.htm
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Desktop Search] C:\WINDOWS\isrvs\desktop.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ffis] C:\WINDOWS\isrvs\ffisearch.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Nsv] C:\WINDOWS\System32\nsvsvc\nsvsvc.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [picsvr] C:\WINDOWS\System32\picsvr\picsvr.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KavSvc] C:\WINDOWS\System32\nrimin.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Wooo] C:\Documents and Settings\Mom\Application Data\scar.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Swmhg] C:\WINDOWS\System32\??mbols\chkntfs.exe
    O18 - Filter: text/html - {950238FB-C706-4791-8674-4D429F85897E} - C:\WINDOWS\isrvs\mfiltis.dll
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: Reinstall - C:\WINDOWS\system32\l88mlil118q.dll

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Run Windows Explorer to delete:C:\WINDOWS\System32\nsvsvc <-- the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\picsvr <-- the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\nrimin.exe

    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 Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST). Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.

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