    Followed the instructions about malware but nothing seems to work. Counter spy is lokating but doesn't seem to quarantine. Get messages that counter spy is blocking but there is no info. In safe mode nothing is found. Unfortunaly I had to connect to the internet to run the online scans. Posting run keys, sview and the panda scan, greatful for all help/ alferbit

    Ok sorry. The bitdefender textfile is just full of strange signs, but I don't think it found anything. Should I run it again?? Attached are the other requested files/ Alferbit

    Please follow the directions given exactly as written in the READ ME and attach the BitDefender log. It has HTML code in it. You don't need to be able to read it. We do.

    Also you did not rename HijackThis.exe as requested in the READ ME. This is a necessary step as stated. You have this:

    C:\Program\Hijackthis\HijackThis.exe

    Rename it to look like the below:

    C:\Program\Hijackthis\analyse.exe

    I see you have all of the below installed. Are any of these paid versions?
    AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5
    CounterSpy
    eTrust PestPatrol
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    If CounterSpy is the free trial from the Read & RUN ME, uninstall it now since we are finished with it now. Then delete the below two folders from it that may not be cleaned up by the uninstall:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sunbelt Software
    C:\Program\Sunbelt Software


    Now uninstall the below software:
    Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2
    Viewpoint Media Player (Remove Only) <-- should have been uninstalled in step 0 of the READ ME


    Make sure you reboot after uninstalling the above!

    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:\Program\WinMsg\SYSMONMS.EXE
    C:\Program\WinMsg\UINST.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:
    O2 - BHO: StrangeBho Class - {0B9B7B2E-30E3-4C5D-AD2C-C38724979B4B} - C:\Program\WinMsg\notepad.dll (file missing)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [bal] C:\Program\WinMsg\SYSMONMS.EXE
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [StUnInst] C:\Program\WinMsg\UINST.EXE

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now reboot in normal mode


    Now locate the below folder and delete it if found:
    C:\Program\WinMsg

    Now run Ccleaner
    Now download the current version of ShowNew from the link in the READ ME. You have an outdated version! Use the new version from now on!

    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!

    Ok, attached is the bitdefender txt file but since the computer shut down before I got a chance to save the file as described. Is the file attached of any use or should I run it again?
    The hijack file is now renamed. Only pest patrol of the programs you listed is a paid version. Please excuse me for missing some of the instructions, I am trying but not the best with computers. Going on with the other instructions.. Thanks

    You have not attached anything at all!

    Since only Pest Patrol is paid for, then uninstall the below:
    AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5
    CounterSpy <-- I already ask you to do this anyway
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    You can ignore the BitDefender log. Just attach the new logs I asked for in my previous message. Make sure they are new logs that you just obtained or they will not upload again.

    Ok, followed the instructions and all went fine. No visable trace of any infection. I continue with the unistallations of the other programs.

    Okay you are clean but you should consider removing the below from your Trusted Zone using HJT. We don't like to see anything in the Trusted Zone. In addition those look like dead sites anyway:

    O15 - Trusted Zone: www.powersoft.name
    O15 - Trusted Zone: www.superspots.biz

    If you are not having any other malware problems, 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 run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
    7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    8. 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
    9. 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.
    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
