Hi and Welcome to TSF

Please consider installing either SP1/SP2 service packs for both IE6 and XP.

Before attacking an adware/spyware problem with hijackthis make sure you have already run ad-aware SE with VX2 add-on cleaner, Spybot Search & Destroy (with updated database) and CWShredder as these programs will clean a lot of the crap out first. All links to programs are in my signature. Ok..on to the log…..


Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that Show hidden files and folders is enabled. Also make sure that the System Files and Folders are showing/visible also. Turn off system restore by right clicking on My Computer and go to Properties->System Restore and check the box for Turn off System Restore.

Reboot into Safe Mode (hit F8 key until menu shows up). Make sure to close any open browsers. Open add/remove programs and remove the following if listed.

Windows AdControl
Internet Optimizer
BullsEye Network
GMT
CMEII
Ebates
DashBar


Go into HijackThis->Config->Misc. Tools->Open process manager. Select the following and click Kill process for each one if they are still listed (they shouldn't be but make sure)

C:\Program Files\Windows AdControl\WinAdCtl.exe
C:\temp\salm.exe
C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer\optimize.exe
C:\Program Files\BullsEye Network\bin\bargains.exe
C:\Program Files\Windows AdControl\WinAdAlt.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GMT\GMT.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\CMEII\CMESys.exe


Check and fix the following in HijackThis if they still exist (make sure you do not miss an entry)

Delete the following Files/Folders in RED (delete folders if no filename is specified) according to their directory (If you can't find them...do a search for them)

C:\Program Files\Windows AdControl\WinAdCtl.exe
C:\temp\salm.exe
C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer\optimize.exe
C:\Program Files\BullsEye Network\bin\bargains.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GMT\GMT.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\CMEII\CMESys.exe
C:\WINDOWS\2_0_1browserhelper2.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msbe.dll
C:\Program Files\DashBar\DashBar21.dll
C:\WINDOWS\wupdt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\kvaxuv.exe
C:\Program Files\Ebates_MoeMoneyMaker\Sy350\Tp350\scri350a.ht m


In safe mode navigate to the C:\Windows\Temp folder. Open the Temp folder and go to Edit > Select All then Edit > Delete to delete the entire contents of the Temp folder.

Go to Start > Run and type %temp% in the Run box. The Temp folder will open. Click Edit > Select All then Edit > Delete to delete the entire contents of the Temp folder.

Finally go to Control Panel > Internet Options. On the General tab under "Temporary Internet Files" Click "Delete Files". Put a check by "Delete Offline Content" and click OK. Click on the Programs tab then click the "Reset Web Settings" button. Click Apply then OK.


Once done reboot into Normal Mode and post a new HijackThis log file to confirm what was removed and if it's clean or not. Once your clean you can enable system restore again.
