    I'm at my girlfriends house and was cleaning up their computer because they were doin norton scans and a few things were coming up but when they tried to remove them the wouldn't. So natrually I followed your "how to remove spyware" post and did everything except download hijackthis. I removed all files then when i restarted they were still there. So i did a safe mode restart and had to manually remove NewDotNet files, some file called nd_unistal83 or somehting, osmim.dll and a reg key called netsetter. When I restarted into normal mode and did an spybot search and destroy scan the netsetter came up again. I forget the exact regedit key i think it was in users:software and now I can't get onto the internet or remove that file. So I can't download any programs or anything to figure out what this problem is. If someone could help me that would be great. Luckily I had brought my laptop so I can post this. Thanks in advance and sorry for the lengthy post.

    • 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 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 post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    The file ccap.exe is a process belonging to the Symantec AntiVirus Internet Security suite.

    For the above entry you will need to Boot into Safe Mode. Run Spybot S&D, but before you run Spybot, go into Advanced Mode and uncheck ALL of the ignored items. Then run a full scan! This will remove this and you should then be able to access the internet.

    Next:

    Please print out these instructions so that you can operate with All Browser Windows CLOSED.

    Please make sure System Restore is OFF and the Viewing of Hidden Files & Folders is Enabled as per the tutorial.



    Now, look in Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) for the following running process and, if you see it, try to END it:

    RK.EXE

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

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

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp_wave/defaults/sb/*http://www.yah oo.com/search/ie.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp_wave/defaults/sp/*http://www.yah oo.com
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp_wave/defaults/su/*http://www.yah oo.com

    O2 - BHO: URLLink Class - {4A2AACF3-ADF6-11D5-98A9-00E018981B9E} - C:\Program Files\NewDotNet\newdotnet6_38.dll (file missing)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [New.net Startup] rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL,NewDotNetStartup -s
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [OSS] c:\windows\system\rk.exe -boot
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [KB891711] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KB891711\KB891711.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:\Program Files\NewDotNet ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RK.EXE

    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.
    Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.

    Good Luck!:)
