    Please download HOSTER and then follow the below steps.
    • Unzip Hoster to a convenient folder such as C:\Hoster
    • Run Hoster.exe, click Restore Original Hosts and then click OK.
    • Click the X to exit the program.

    After you complete the above, procede with the below online scans:

    TrendMicro Online Scan
    Bitdefender online scan
    RavAntivirus online scan <-- select Auto Clean then click Scan My PC
    TrojanScan online scan
    Panda Online Scan


    After you have completed the below online scans reboot and attach a fresh HJT log as an attachment to your post.

    heatherjean,

    Please look in Add or Remove Programs for the following and Uninstall them if found:

    Windupates

    Media Access

    NoAdware
    (If you bought this make sure you have V3, if not uninstall it)

    SideFind

    SlotchBar

    Please EXTRACT HijackThis from the ZIP File to a Safer location. Here's how:

    To create a new folder:
    Click START > My Computer > Local Disc C: > Program Files
    Now, Right Click on an Empty Area and select New > Folder & name it HijackThis and ENTER

    To Extract HijackThis:
    Now, Right Click your HijackThis ZIP File and select Extract All > Next > and browse to your newly created HijackThis Folder
    (C:\Program Files\HJT) and click Next.

    Now run HJT from there. Please save your HJT Log as a .txt File and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

    The reason HJT needs its own safe folder is so that backups will be safely preserved. That way, if a mistake is made in the removal process, the mistakenly deleted entry can be restored.

    I'm sorry if I did something wrong, or posted something wrong. I'm new to all this, and I was in a hurry and really didn't read any other threads on here. Next time I will first. Thanks for all the help, i'm going to try the rest of the stuff you said bjgarrick, and post what happened.

    Again, make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    NOW:
    Navigate to and DELETE the following if they should remain:

    C:\Program Files\winupdates ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\gr87adfn.exe

    C:\WINDOWS\about.htm

    NEXT:
    Run CCleaner and Spybot S&D and have Spybot fix what it finds.
    Note: Dont forget to update Spybot S&D by selecting "Search For Updates"

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start > Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.


    Reboot to Normal Windows , Scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.

    Ok, whew, I did all that, the only thing is I couldn't find gr87adfn.exe
    in my system folder for some reason. I couldn't find a system32 folder, it just said system. I really appreciate all the help, there is no way in hell I could have done all this on my own! I'll be waiting for your reply :)

    I notice that your running Avast! & AVG AntiVirus. This is NOT recommended as running 2 antivirus programs will cause conflicts on your computer. You need to pick ONE and uninstall the other.


    Now scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

    O20 - AppInit_DLLs: 4APPINITSOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WindowsAppInit_DLLs,wbsys.dll

    Make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.


    After you complete the above, reboot and post a fresh HJT log and also let me know how things are running.

    That's strange, I didn't know I was running Avast. I uninstalled that months ago! Ok, I checked in my Add/Remove Programs, but it's not in there. I did a search for avast and it came up in My Documents folder and I deleted it. I did what you said below, and everything seems to be running fine, I'm not getting anymore virus popups and when I scanned with spybot it said nothing was found :)

    There's still some Avast! remnants hanging around so do this. Download Avast Free, install it. As soon as you install it go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall.

    Reboot and attach a fresh HJT log.

    Ok, gotcha, I did what you said, it's weird, I saw something that said Yahoo Pager or something in there, I don't even have Yahoo anymore. How can it be that even when you uninstall these programs, they still remain? Thanks :)

    I also see Yahoo! Messenger set to startup, you appear to have the package installed. If you dont use/need it uninstall it also.

    Are you having any further problems?

    heatherjean Private E-2

    Nope, everything is running smoothly now, thanks to you! I really appreciate it because I would have been totally lost without your help. Thanks for taking time of your days to help a sista out :) Take care ;)
