VX2 and MidAddle

rlawrence · Oct 29, 2006

I joined here in hopes to find a way to get the spyware titled out of my computer. I'm using Freedom antispyware and antivirus that Adelphia cable provides for users. It keeps finding VX2 and many (usually over 20) MidAddle files. It deletes, but they come back. I've tried playing with "system restore", but they don't care. Adelphia doesn't know what to do.

I've gone through all the steps y'all list on your site, and no software scan ever finds them. I'm wondering if they are really there, or if Freedom is just screwed up and thinks they are. Read enough to understand that they change dll files on every reboot. Also, used Look2Me which thinks it can destroy, but didn't seem to change.

comments:
running XP Pro
Step 1. done
2. done
3. done.
4. done
5. and spybot found nothing. Defender wouldn't validate, so ran CouonterSpy and found nothing.
6. bitdefender found nothing, Panda file attached..lots of unremovable cookies
6B. getrunkey did not create runkeys.txt, but it created a buch more txt files in root directory.
newfiles.txt attached.
7. HJT file attached ...and done properly
8. toggle of System restore did nothing.

Please advise. Like I said, I'm not even sure I have the titled malware...though Freedom says I do.

I'm guess at where you have GetRunKey installed based on how you installed ShowNew. So if the below folder is not correct, just substitue in the correct info.

Open a command prompt by click Start and select Run and enter cmd and click OK.

In the command prompt window enter the below commands:

cd C:\Spyware Tools\GetRunKey

GetRunKey

Tell me what error messages you get. (Or you can copy and paste them here. You can do this by right clicking on the top bar of the command prompt window and select Edit and then choose Mark. Then Mark the lines using your mouse that you want to copy. Then right click the top bar again and select Edit and Copy to copy the lines to your clipboard. You can then paste them into your message.)

Please attach a log from your antispyware program (I assume this is PestPatrol) that shows exactly what and where it is finding problems.
