Pop Ups

I was wondering if someone could help me finish cleaning out this computer. I have done everything that READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal said to do and I believe the major problems are fixed but the problem I am having now is that as soon as I turn the computer on, and connect to the internet, I get 3 to 4 pop up windows. I have all the lastest patches for this computer (Windows XP Home) and all the latest updates for all the virus programs and so on, but now I can't figure out how to stop the pop-up's any suggestions. I have a log from HJT but will wait to post.

Thanks

What type of internet connection are you using? Dial-up, cable, DSL

 

I am using DSL

 

Provided you met the following requirement, attach your HJT log with your next post.

 

Ok, here is my HJT log

 

I have your HJT log.

I would wait for confirmation from Chaslang, but it appears you have an EliteBar variant.

The following item is associated with EliteBar
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [etbrun] C:\windows\system32\elitebyj32.exe

 

nomadd,

Scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [etbrun] C:\windows\system32\elitebyj32.exe

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

NOW:
Please boot into Safe Mode with the Viewing of Hidden Files & Folders Enabled and navigate to and DELETE the following if they should remain:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\elitebyj32.exe <--- also look for and delete other files beginning with elite and ending with exe. There could be as many as ten more.

NEXT:
Run CCleaner

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, here is the new HJT log

 

Download Pocket KillBox


Please boot into Safe Mode with the Viewing of Hidden Files & Folders Enabled

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

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [etbrun] C:\windows\system32\elitebyj32.exe

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

NOW:

Locate PocketKillbox

Now, Copy and Paste C:\windows\system32\elitebyj32.exe into the box – If it exists, it will show up in Blue. Check the option to Delete on Reboot and Click the Red X and Yes to the confirmation message. A message will ask if you want to reboot now – Click YES.

After you reboot, post a fresh HJT log.

 

Here is the updated HJT log

 

Your HJT log is clean!

Are you having any further problems?

 

Thanks for all the help. I was told that the computer is working great now.

Thanks
