Would appreciate any help I can get with this Pain in the a$$

Not seeing any malware, let's just do this.

Before we continue I would like for you to use MSConfig to put this machine back into normal start up mode

Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

• R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://home.mywebsearch.com/index.j...YYca&ptb=A156BD7C-BED0-4110-A488-0BA617D2082F
• O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)
• O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {10EDB994-47F8-43F7-AE96-F2EA63E9F90F} - (no file)
• O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE
• After clicking Fix exit HJT.

What is inside of these folders? If they are empty, simply delete them away.

C:\Documents and Settings\Goldcar\Application Data\Govo
C:\Documents and Settings\Goldcar\Application Data\Rypou

Delete this file: C:\Windows\Tasks\gncqeazk.job

Running any better at all or not?

 

Precisely, so let's just be rid of them (and we did) it's just clean up. I like things neat and tidy.

Yes, but they do not need to be running at start up

You are most welcome. No idea what happened though. Sorry.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
   related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
