    Looks like you have a handful of problems, including a CWS variant. The first thing to do is run through the steps in the following sticky thread:


    READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    If you currently have any of the programs that are listed to download, be sure it is the updated version that is offered by this site. These links remain updated, so the updated version of all of the downloads are available through the links on the thread above.

    Try to make it through all the steps in the tutorial and make notes of the results of each scan. If you have problems with any of the steps in the tutorial, make note of that as well in your next reply. After going through all of that, reply here and describe any symptoms that remain on the machine and you will be advised as to the next step.

    Next, about your HijackThis, you are running the program from the desktop, it needs to be in its own secure folder (ex. c:\Program Files\HJT\). Also, it is important that you close all running programs (including internet explorer) before running a scan. These tips and more are covered in the tread below.

    NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    After going through the above threads, go ahead and post another HijackThis log as an attachment.

    Good luck.

    Followed guide Publius with the following errors.

    Could not run IE in Safe Mode with Networking so online scans were done in normal mode.

    All other scans done in safe mode

    Have moved Hijack This to C:\ as indicated new scan attached.

    As soon as I log on to internet i get warning from Systemsuite 5 that the following Trojan has been found

    TROJ_STARTPGE.KR
    C:\PROTAS.EXE

    THEN AGAIN AS WINDOWS.PROTECTOR_UPDATE.EXE

    THANKS FOR HELP SO FAR.

    You are really infected.
    First thing you should do is run the following program in safe mode.
    Elite Remover

    After doing that you should do the following. The tool above may get rid of alot of this. Run it a couple of times and read the read me that is with it.

    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 is Enabled as per the tutorial.

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

    WildTangent

    NOW:
    Please look in Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del)and try to END the following running processes, if found:

    javaaw.exe
    sysmx32.exe
    oigmw.exe
    ?ttrib.exe
    htt.exe
    wkhgth.exe

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

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

    NOW:
    Please boot into Safe Mode with the Viewing of Hidden Files Enabled and navigate to and DELETE the following file(s) and folder(s) if they should remain:

    C:\WINDOWS\javaaw.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\sysmx32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\oigmw.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\?ttrib.exe
    C:\Documents and Settings\BARRIE\ <--the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\wkhgth.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\wnim.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\EliteSideBar <--the whole folder
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\eplrr3.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysua.dll

    If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again.


    NEXT:
    Run CCleaner and Spybot S&D and have Spybot fix what it finds.

    THEN:
    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 and Scan with HijackThis and attach that log.
    Let me know how your computer is running now and if you had trouble with the above instructions.

    Good luck :)

    Make sure you go back to normal mode, after doing the Elite remover, before doing the rest of my suggestions. Of course go back to safe when instructed.

    You got almost all of them Thug! You missed just these three:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Systems Restart] Rundll32.exe wnim.dll, DllRegisterServer
    O16 - DPF: {AB29A544-D6B4-4E36-A1F8-D3E34FC7B00A} - http://install.wildtangent.com/bgn/partners/nike/nikemagiafootball/install.cab
    O23 - Service: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper - Unknown - C:\WINDOWS\javaaw.exe

    However, the O23 line is part of the HSA hijacker (along with a few of the other items in the log). They are not going to be fix this way. In fact they will more than like just change names and spread new files.

    Also note that some of the O15 lines (if not all) may come back and will require direct registry manipulation to fix.

    One additional item: the C:\WINDOWS\system32\?ttrib.exe file will more than likely not be visible and you must be careful not to delete attrib.exe which is a valid Windows file. The reason for the file name appearing with a question mark is because they have used non-standard characters in the file name to confuse you. The ?ttrib.exe file if found will more than like be 300k or larger in size whereas the valid attrib.exe file is only 11K.


    And if you do not recognize the below two O16 lines to be valid, I would fix them too.

    O16 - DPF: {AE9DCB17-F804-11D2-A44A-0020182C1446} - file://D:\SuperCD\IntraLaunch.CAB
