    Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99.1 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an ATTACHMENT.
    All instructions are covered in the sticky thread
    NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting


    Now post a Hijack This log as an ATTACHMENT to your message (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post). Please close unnecessary running programs before you run HijackThis. You must close each of the following: your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc.

    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. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

    First:

    The first thing that I notice is that your operating system is out dated. After we get your system clean I would recommend your going to Windows Updates and get updated. You need to have Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed for security purposes.

    Second:

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

    E2G

    Ebates (Anything relating to ebates)

    PartyPoker ←–– Only Uninstall this if you DO NOT use it! If you use it, ignore all the way thru.

    Bodog Poker ←–– Only Uninstall this if you DO NOT use it! If you use it, ignore all the way thru.


    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 processes and, if you see any of them, try to END them:

    pruttct.exe
    Note: There are two processes of this baddie, end both!


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

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

    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\E2G ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

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

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

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

    C:\WINDOWS\System32\pruttct.exe

    C:\WINDOWS\System32\taskmgn.exe

    SYSTEM2.EXE ←–– Search for this file and delete when found!


    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


    FINAL STEP

    Reset Web Settings & Default Security Settings:


    To Reset Web Settings:
    Right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

    If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK


    To Default Security Settings:
    Right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Security Tab and click Default Level for Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted Sites, and Restricted Sites.



    After doing ALL of the above, Scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.
